MU was the ONLY option for Sandy from his perspective--he was pretty clear on that.

Well then, it really wasn't much of a recruiting job by Buzz and Co. Sniff.

May well turn out to be a fine player, but from a make up perspective, I personally don't think LeChance is Buzz Ball material.

Exactly. Like I said, Butler, Creighton, and Xavier all offered recently, Missouri seems to be the favorite. Marquette may be showing "interest," but it's the same "interest" that John Calipari had in Sandy Cohen. A kid who is having a really nice AAU season and is generating some buzz, but isn't option A, or even B or C. If something doesn't work out, he may end up with an offer down the road. But a lot of things would have to happen for that. If those things do happen, LaChance will be here.

Having watched both him and Christopherson closely sine around this point in their careers, LaChance to me is a smaller Christopherson. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, will be a solid contributor for someone down the road, but isn't going to fit into every system perfectly. LaChance wouldn't be the worst role player to have, but he isn't exactly the type of player Buzz is going after.

Not sure that it would be wise to take a chance on LaChance. How many guards do we need. We have Mayo, De. Wilson and Anderson for one more year after LaChance would arrive, and also Du. Wilson, JJJ, Dawson, Burton and then Cohen. Also Nostowiak (sp) a year later. Eight or nine guys for 80 minutes is more than is needed. Time to start snaring dome bigs.

Like all the Wisconsin Players we have on the team. But we missed one. (DECKER)

Regarding Lachance -- second Sunday in a row, Ray Allen Select playing DC Assault. Last week for championship, this time in quarters. This weekend in Vegas for Fab 48, tip-off in an hour.

Totally agree. Don't know the specifics and haven't asked, but I can't imagine that he did something heinous enough to cause a suspension/ban. Have always found his points well founded and his arguments well thought out. Maybe too cerebral for some on this board. Hope this absence, if forced, is temporary.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Congratulations Sandy! Happy you are coming to Marquette. Can't wait to watch you play!

Confrere to Sandy and MU - hope it works out great for both.

Don't see any problems with Keefe's posts - usually enjoy them.

Ellenson Guerrero · « **Reply #58 on:** July 28, 2013, 03:56:38 PM »

Does anyone have any insight on his academics? Bo apologists seem to be using the explanation about his lack of recruiting Cohen that it was grades related (shocking I know).

tower912 · « **Reply #59 on:** July 28, 2013, 04:01:17 PM »

Bo apologists are also saying that (A) Wiscy doesn't have many schollies available and (B) they are in on better players than Cohen. There is always something.

Something similar to what we are saying with Looney. "Too bad...hope it works out for him."

No reason to trash a kid.

And (C) Cohen lacks the academics to get into UW.

I know. Just adding on to the post directly above mine. OF COURSE grades are an issue, Buzz is just bringing him through the revolving door, blahbityblahbityblahbity......

Gotta love a kid who felt that MU was his dream school.

They are mostly saying the kid has academic issues. If I recall, something about a suspension on his team earlier this year (or last?) due to academics. There are a number of insinuations, accusations, etc over on the Badger boards if you wish to explore. No idea if any are true.

So with Harris and Cohen we have a solid interior and exterior player already in the fold for 2014.

Goodluck or Ahmed Hill would make for an incredible class.

Paul White would be a nice addition and really solidify the class. Kaleb Joseph would be a nice Duane Wilson 2.0.

Any of O'Mara, Wilkins, or Quadri Moore would be a suitable center project.

We are not in Kaleb Joseph's final three. It's Providence, WVU, and Cuse. Seems like a no brainer to me.

I don't mean this in the wrong way, but you're lying! RAS 17's lost to DC Assault in the Fab 48 semi's. Had some pretty favorable draws in their bracket, but they had some great games this week. When Lachance and Ellingson are hitting shots they are very tough.
