Kolek planning to go pro
MU has no control over who is on the TBT roster.
Technically yes but they are supplying training facility and last year were promoting it. Just plain dumb all the way around not to fill it with our own guys.
Duane isn't our own guy. He left.
This should actually be a rule of this tournament..Your team must consist of players that attended that school. No outside players.
Team is called Golden Eagles Alumni.Duane is a Golden Eagle alumni. Cook and Bowers are not.
That seems exceptionally harsh considering the situation. Isn't his degree worth as much as yours?
TBT was never intended to be a "get the band back together" tournament for college teams, although some early teams were constructed that way. There's a whole lot of money at stake, so if you're going to play with the intention to win, the roster needs to be balanced. And judging from past champions, size matters. Which is why an Elgin Cook might get a spot over Du Wilson, whether we like it or not. Who knows if there are other things at issue (availability, requested cut of the pie, etc.), but this isn't just a fun run for these guys, so I can see where brand loyalty might need to fall by the wayside.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Not just technically yes, just yes yes. The roster is determined by the guys on the team. I don't know why Duane wasn't invited but the other players determined that they wanted other players more. Maybe it's a balance thing. Maybe it's a other players are better thing. Maybe the guys don't along with Duane for some reason. Your beef is with these guys: https://www.thetournament.com/teams/golden-eagles-marquette-alumni. Not MU.
If you guys could select any former MU players for next year's TBT team who would you pick? I'm discounting the guys currently under NBA contracts.I'd go:Dwyane WadeDominic JamesTravis DienerSteve NovakDavante GardnerAndrew RowseyJerel McNealDJOOusmane BarroLazar HaywardLuke FischerEDIT: Forgot Jerel
Riley Crean
Duane left. Jake didn't. The former isn't a Warrior. The latter is.
Duane graduated from MU. He is a Warrior.
Then he abandoned them. Warrior title stripped.
Pontiff has spoken huh? How do you really feel about this.
