[Sandy] is the only source that matters.
Read his guardian quotes.
Read his guardian quotes. Your a former journalism guy you know how the game is played.
He is the only source that matters.
Sandy was good enough to displace an All Big East Rookie and cause him to transfer. Wojo is a guy who uses kids and disposes of them when he no longer needs them. I have more experience in D1 athletics than probably 99 percent of this board and I can tell You I know a snake when I see one.
Who is the only source that matters? You're reading a quote from his former coach. Did you even read the quote that Sandy had?"I love everybody at Marquette, coaches and everything. I just had to make the best decision for me. … Being a junior and not being able to play much is not really what I envisioned and not really what I thought would happen. It pretty much comes down to playing time.”Uhh...let me repeat that."I love everybody at Marquette, coaches and everything. I just had to make the best decision for me. … Being a junior and not being able to play much is not really what I envisioned and not really what I thought would happen. It pretty much comes down to playing time.”Hmm. He loves the coaches everybody at Marquette, coaches. Hmm. Loves them...but they don't talk to him and he doesn't have a relationship with him. Hmm...Oh, and the bit about it "pretty much" coming down to playing time. Hmm...You're an idiot.
This demonstrates what I have been saying for sometime. That being Wojo does not have these kids back and they know it. It is shameful that a quality young man like Sandy did not to have a relationship with any coach on the team .
The fact that Sandy agreed to be interviewed for this article is evidence that he is getting advice from the wrong people. He should have at least stuck out this season.
Agreed, but will get 2 more years of college for free, not a bad gig if you can get it. Use basketball, not let basketball use him. Get your degree and hopefully mastersdegree, he can then go to Europe and play a little if he wants.
sandy was a good "get" at the time. was a stud in seymour. appeared to be fitting in as expected his freshman year, then stalled while others passed him by. wojo gave him plenty of opportunities, but when one is also fighting to get this team back to the dance while the fans and administration is getting restless, you need the right personnel. not enough trophies or ribbons to go around at this level. also, we don't have the ability to see him in practice as well
Actually that isn't accurate. He is only getting four years of college paid for by transferring at semester - and transferring after five semesters into a new school makes it tougher to put together something to graduate in three more. If he would have stayed for the entire year, he would have gotten five years.
I was wondering how this worked. I assume Sandy's entire fall semester is paid for by his athletic scholarship at Marquette. If he commits to, say, UWGB and is enrolled there for the spring semester I also assume that the spring semester is paid in full by his basketball scholarship from UWGB? Unless they are full and he is aware of the fact that he needs to be a walk on (sitting out for transferring) for his spring semester and then on scholarship next year when something opens up there. If he decides to sit out all of next year to get a full season to play, would he then get 2.5 years of scholarship from UWGB following his 2.5 from MU?
I would like to see the NCAA adjust the eligibility rules from play a single minute in a single game to something like play less than X minutes in the first X games.John Dawson lost a whole year of eligibility when he played only 4 minutes in the first game (sitting in 7 more) before getting PoleAxed (10 mpg in previous season under Buzz).
