Kolek planning to go pro
Todd Mayo...Jae CrowderI get a kick out of how it’s ok to admit a C+ student like Chris Crawford, but it’s “terrible” to admit a D+ student. What’s the difference? Both are well below the average MU student. Terrible. Lol.
Most unqualified guy admitted to MU in the last 20 years? D Wade#2? Jae Crowder.Best 2 things (IMHO) to happen to MU hoops in the last 20 years? D Wade and Jae Crowder.Guys like that will never get in going forward, though, and for some that's a cause for celebration. Their precious degrees (never elite in the first place) won't be diminished by such riffraff. Sigh.
Love Crowder but the difference is that coaching staff didn't completely disclosed that Crowder basically had no chance to graduate. Wade's case was different, administration knew that he would not qualify and basically had to become academically eligible by his own effort. Different situations / conditions.
This is why we feel so much better about Henry Ellenson—had a chance to graduate right?Also do we ensure all our grad transfers graduate on-time?

Again different circumstances no information withheld, no APR hit. Maybe smoke & mirrors.....
Most unqualified guy admitted to MU in the last 20 years? Dwade.
False statement on every level
Not by ACT score
Love ya Newsie. But, during Crean, athletics admissions was switched out of AD. Both MU and the NCAA Clearinghouse passed Jae and his deficiencies were well known and public. The same group passed the same protocols on ND Prep (specialized in LD) players including Beasley, Paul Harris, Lazar and Todd. When Cassell's kid came up from ND Prep, the shyt hit the fan with the new regime.Lazar, Jae and Todd still haven't graduated. Junior did. Junior is the least wealthy.
Right. Least qualified freshman admitted to MU per ACT score in at least the last 20 years.
Most unqualified guy admitted to MU in the last 20 years? D Wade.
This video reminds me of Chicos Bail Bonds and Lennys Tap debating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ZdKCFFR3I
Back to the Athletic article...Some on here have questioned what type of message MU wants to send to their fans about the type of program they aspire to be. Do they want to compete with the big boys, or do they want to have a passable team that makes the NCAA Tournament some of the time and wins a game or two there on occasion, with an emphasis on “low risk” players who represent the university well?
Why do you act like these are mutually exclusive options?
They’re not, but let’s be honest: Only a select few extremely talented coaches are able to walk that tight rope. I don’t think we have one.
The irony....your boy ruined it. His staff couldn't tell the truth, some of his players couldn't follow the rules and way beyond, and some of the guys he "recruited" ......well let's just say your guy ruined it. If the university over rotated, it is because of what went down when he was the CEO of the program. The irony.....but of course you and others blame the school, not the actual fools that committed the various acts that led to clamp down. Amazing.

Wojo and the Athletic Department *are* now touting what great human beings their players are and how successful they’ve been in the community and classroom, and they’re saying things like, “We believe the winning will come, even though it hasn’t happened yet.” Wojo even said something to the effect of, “I was hired to run a program that represents the university well.” Hell, the last paragraph pretty much states that if you don’t like the direction of the program, then too bad, because that’s the way things are going to be.My main takeaway from this article is that Wojo’s seat isn’t remotely hot. And if it gets hot, he’ll be replaced with another guy who will achieve slightly-better-than-Deane results. That’s what we’ve gotten and that’s what we’ll continue to get with the current administration. They’ve just been slow to let us know about it.
