Kolek planning to go pro
BrewHad you heard of the kid being MU radar prior to a week ago? You, and others, feel next years recruiting class is going to be a home run, so save the spot for next season. There is no need to rush into filling spots. This is what I was talking about when I said long term success is the ultimate goal.
He won't play a second next year? On a team with only eight returning players with experience? You know this how???Regardless, with three scholarships available now, and two additional next year, Marquette can afford to take a flier on a guy the coaching staff believes has upside. And if it doesn't work out, he can look elsewhere.
PakuniHe has no chance to play next year. Why take up a spot for guy to sit on the bench for a season?
PakuniMatt H. would not play next season if he had not graduated. I give up...you guys are right. Sign away!!!!!!!
You know this how? A 6-10 kid with range would seem to have a decent shot at playing time on a team with no clear-cut four next season.FWIW, Michigan is kicking the tires with Skogman. John Beilein also in the biz of wasting scholies?https://umhoops.com/2019/02/20/recruiting-roundup-michigan-evaluating-late-rising-2019-big-man/
The kid will not play a second next year. Sign a player that can play, I'm all for it. To sign a kid that will not sniff the court is foolish.
Solid logic. Since only 8-9 guys routinely get minutes, we might as well only ever use 9-10 scholarships so we can save the others for all the guys who we might sign the following year.
Putting Skogman aside, I think this is an interesting point/topic. What makes you believe that Matt H would not see the floor next year? Curious on your thoughts.From my view, and as it stands, Morrow + Theo ought to find time on the court together in 19-20. If we had a Matt H-type 3rd string C, perhaps even more likely to see that lineup due to the tail coverage. If John and Morrow are among the 5 best players then Wojo must do what it takes to get them into that lineup (more than just a pure time split). We will play some physical teams and it might be best for us to play these two for 25 minutes apiece... Can't be done without a fallback, IMO.Obviously, there are all sorts of qualifiers to the above including Theo's fouling, but those have been debated ad nauseum.
Sew wood a walk-on. Y tie up a schollie and set da program further back. O, maybee mediocre basketball is all wee need ta have heer, hey?
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
Symir + best grad possible + best traditional transfer we can get our hands on seems like a good use of the final 3 spots.
I think Ike handles the Heldt minutes this year. He is in the pictures with the rest of the team, including in the weight room. Working up to Ed minutes in 20-21.
At the banquet Ike told Dodds that he was 60% and that he feels "like he can't play basketball anymore". I will be pleasantly surprised if we see him suit up at all next season. Just seems like he'll be injury prone for his career.
