5/28 finally official - Sam to UVA, Joey to MSU

[StillAWarrior]

If academics really matter ... Amaker at Harvard would fall over himself to get Sam and/or Joey.  Why waste your time with a public school?  Go to Harvard.

I would take UVA for free over Harvard any day of the week.  Also, Harvard is not the defending national champion.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

on the East Coast, there are strong alumni networks, especially on Wall Street.  The strongest are those who went to the prestigious prep schools then to an Ivy. Athletes from schools with these networks also vault ahead of other alumni. That said, I don't think Sam is choosing UVA for their vast alumni network, he's choosing UVA because he believes Tony Bennett will get him a professional contract and championship rings.

Sure if he wants to work on Wall Street those connections may help. But that really doesn’t have much to do with the quality of the education received.

[StillAWarrior]

I have no idea where anyone who works for me went to college unless they bring it up. And I’ve hired all of them.

Completely overrated nonsense.

To you, maybe. And that is actually great. However, you’re not necessarily typical.

Reported on ESPN.


Well, bummed they aren't coming to play at MU as Badgers.  I wish them both well.  Still odd to me.  Somelike like Sam will play for one year for a team.  Sure, some at Uva will remember one year players like we do here from time to time, but never quite the legacy that multi year players are remembered. 

Movin' on.  Good luck Sam and Joey.  Glad Brad isn't there to punch Joey daily in practice. 

As far as schools go, networking means a lot.  Whether some of these schools that are rated highly because of graduate research $$$, and TA's teaching undergrads are better than a school dedicated mostly to undergraduates....who knows.  Thankfully at my age it doesn't matter a damn.

I will lambast someone for leaving, if he doesnt leave then no need to lambaste.  Simple logic guru

Except you lambasted Luke Fischer constantly, while he was a current player. So that goes against your "simple logic".

[NickelDimer]

Agree but then what would the morons like guru and keefe have to say??

What would they say? Haha this is gold coming from you lmao

Didn't he also frequently lambast Sacar Anim? Guy's a serial lambaster.

[NickelDimer]

Relatively annoying that both of them use cookie cutter responses rather than actually writing something for themselves. I am picturing Sam writing something out and joey just looking over his shoulder to write the same thing

Annoying? The fact they both stiffed UW is the best thing that’s happened this offseason!!

Or maybe their parents wrote it...

Serious question here.  Were there ever any rumblings of the parents being an issue?  I knew we heard second hand the boys didn’t want to play with Tyler Herro but did we legit hear anything about mom and dad sticking their noses into team business?

I ask because mom is being blamed for them not going to Wisconsin-Madison.  It seems laughable to me but who knows.

[MomofMUltiples]

Clearly there was an issue with touches, but I also wonder whether Sam was not able to reconcile his roles as captain and Joey’s brother.  In the end, he burned too many bridges to come back to MU. Apparently fans also burned bridges on his Twitter feed. Now he is probably getting all that and worse from badger fans.

In the end it may have been school preferences that split the boys, but it could also be that Sam couldn’t see himself being a leader AND looking out for his brother. A total shame, but glad it’s over.  On to recruiting and preparing for next season!

No

[pbiflyer]

Why is no one talking about what really happened with Sam?
He was all set to return to Marquette until a Bucky booster stepped in and paid him not to come back. It’s obvious.

It sort of is mom’s fault they didn’t go to Madison. She taught her kids to be decent human beings.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I think mom is getting too much blame here. I think the question was how much they wanted to be together, which meant UW, or how much they wanted to be at their respective dream schools.

Went after Morrow not long ago, too. Consider the source.

Went after Morrow?
82 u are so full of crap.  The number of words in ur logerrhea filled posts dont make them any more valid. 
Ur a blowhard and wrong more often then right.

You just invalidated yourself from commenting on academics.

And unless UVa wins again next year, Sam will not play for the defending Champs.

It's not the obsessive tirades against Luke but still could be considered going after him 

Team is short on talent
Why we force the ball to morrow and theo who absolutely suck and dont post Sam is beyond me

[MU82]

Thanks, Galway. I forgot about his attack on Theo, too.

Obviously, MSK is a liar as well as a boor.

my source finally told me about the silent verbal. While Sam was visiting Madison late at night, he was heard screaming "I'm COMING!" through the walls of his girlfriends apartment. Apparently it's not what the Badgerfans thought.

You’re certainly entitled to your opinion. I would absolutely take UVA for free over Harvard for $70k per year. That’s an easy decision. If both were free, I’d take Harvard. Another easy decision.

[Silent Verbal]

In the JS article from Potrykus today, he doubles down on the two sources (Trevor Anderson and his dad?) who said the Hausers were coming to UW and practically paints Sam and Joey as heels for not doing so.  What a dope.

Let’s see what Jeff says on the message boards

[tower912]

Savor the Potrykus tears.

Do the official decisions of the Hausers hurt Marquette or Wisconsin more?
