Who is this Houser you speak of?

(also, lol at Harris)

Didn't Sam Hauser verbally commit to us? My bad on the spelling

Why are you lolling at Harris? Like it or not the guy was a high rated prospect that buzz had committed to us.

I agree they were highly underrated players and that Wojo made the right call but it's not like they were somehow players Buzz couldn't touch buzz brought in his fair share of underrated guys too. (Buycks, DJO, Jimmy, Jae)

Agreed

The Hillbilly is gone and he ain't coming back. So can we all agree to the following:

1) We had a good time when things were good.

2) We're proud of Jae, JB, Wes, DJO and the rest of the guys who played for Marquette during the Hillbilly's time and have made it to the NBA. Impressive record.

3) We had a bad divorce with the Hillbilly and he took everything of value in the house.

4) We've moved on to a new "pretty girl" who brought in recruits this year the Hillbilly could only dream of. We've got a great team, a great coach and great potential.

Let's treat the Hillbilly like a bad ex-spouse. All we want to do is be National Champion with Coach Wojo and make the Hillbilly rot in his Hokie tomb down in West Nowhereville, Virginia.

So can we just ignore him, like the rest of college basketball is about to?

I agree with point 1 and 2. I agree with the first part of 3, but I think we split the property evenly. I don't agree with point 4 other than we have potential. Wojo has a lot to prove. Also I always want our former coaches to do well, no matter how bad the divorce was. I believe there is still PR value in having alumni both player and coaches do well. So as distasteful as things were at the end, I still would like to see Va Tech do well under him.

There was no way we were going to get Henry or Diamond if the Hillbilly was head coach. Something happened when Wojo took over that impressed Henry and his family.

I agree a lot of guys were underrated and we did well with some really good ballplayers. But one of the most significant complaints about the Hillbilly was that he did not recruit and develop freshmen. Most of the high performers under the Hillbilly were Jucos. And if I had a dime for every time someone here was complaining about Jucos while the Hillbilly was here, I would be rich.

I used to say in here that the most important job the Hillbilly had was developing Vander. I was right and what irritated the Hillbilly to no end was Vander leaving after he got good.

Now, let's let the Hillbilly go. He is entombed down in West Bumfork, VA. I hope we never hear his name again. Ever.

See this post I agree with more but like I said before beyond Henry Buzz certainly has shown that he could get comprable talent out of HS. But develop it? Barely. Hold on to it? Rarely. I was only stressing that Henry is the only player that wojo's gotten that Buzz couldn't have touched.

Outside of Henry, I don't think the top high school players that Buzz recruited were that much different than Wojo. The problem I had with Buzz is that he took too many flyers on players that should have been here (Ferguson, Roseboro) and there wasn't a lot of development while they were here. (Although JJJ hasn't developed much yet under Wojo too.)

1,841 (# of Chico's complaints about jucos under Buzz) + 12 (# of all other Scooper's combined complaints about jucos under Buzz) = 1,853. You'd have $183.50 - not quite rich, but a start.

Are you referring to Jon Harris?

You think Buzz recruited him and he was a "high rated" prospect?

Seriously?

If we learned anything from Buzz's move (and resulting home sale) it's that we should all lower our footprint and downsize our homes. $183 may just be enough.

thanks for clarifying....I forgot about Harris since he never made it here for reasons of his own making. Looks like he is going to be another top 100 guy who Buzz recruited that washes out.

Didn't somebody say this was no big deal? Crean apparently didn't agree and was forced to dismiss.....http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2015/08/31/emmitt-holt-indiana-hoosiers-dismissed-alcohol-incident/71481240/
