2021 Transfer Portal

[The Lens]

It bears repeating...MU player's social media silence is incredible.  And beyond our young big 3, the lack of "thank you Coach" from Greg, Jamal, Ike, Koby or Theo is a bizarre.  Theo RT'd a congrats to Dwayne Killings and a congrats to McKinley Wright.

Might be that Killings was keeping it all together and had to talk several players into staying this season

Can you imagine what he could do for Garcia????

Sign his release paperwork?

They are waiting just like us. The transfer portal is a cesspool this year. Need to know who the coach is before they can do anything.

Also really only 3-4 guys could play starter minutes next year at Power 6 schools in my opinion too.

I don't disagree, but that wasn't what I was responding to.

I don't think his system is a match for our current roster. I don't think a lot of our roster would want to play in his system and I'm not sure he'd want most of our roster for his system. Again, if he's THE guy, that doesn't matta.

The players won't like a 5 out offensive system? It's the same system Nova is running this year.

Wouldn’t Dawson thrive in the Cam Krutwig high post spot?

Dawson wants to play in the NBA, not play a cam Krutwig 1970s big man role. That's not gonna keep him here if Moser comes.

Cam’s body and lack of 3 point shooting is keeping him out of the NBA, not where he was playing.

Style of play is what is gonna keep DG at Marquette was more the point I am getting at. Moser's system and teh "cam krutwig role" likely isn't it.

Sign his release paperwork?

But kinda not teal.

Dawson doesn't have the skills to do it. The only skill that is better than Krutwig is shooting.

Especially Carton. A high turnover guard is not going to thrive under Moser.

To be fair, Freshman Dawson > Freshman Krutwig.
You're comparing a guy who's played 133 college games to one who's played 27.

[brewcity77]

Correct.

[JakeBarnes]

Correct.

Gets at my concern that the level of recruits that would come into Moser's system won't be that different than what he gets at LUC right now. Sure, maybe we get a  Krutwig every so often and it's a big hit. But that's been the big difference maker for his success vs not success.

While there are some similarities between Nova and Loyola's systems, they are not the same. Wright also has a little more credibility than Moser does when it comes to getting guys into the NBA.

If Bill Scholl believes Moser is the guy, then you get him and deal with the roster fallout. But these players were recruited to play in an up-tempo, pro-style offense with a man defense that aims to stay in front of opponents in the half court. If Moser is the guy, I have zero doubt there will be departures. Significantly so.

Again, if Scholl thinks he's the guy, you accept those losses because you aren't building for one year, you're building for sustained success. But Moser will have to get his guys in and show to recruits how they fit in his system. Because right now there are people telling them Moser plays slow-down ball and won't help them get to the NBA, and that will resonate louder than anything you can tell them until they actually see the results at this level.

Fair enough, but I am talking base skills. Freshman Krutwig was better at passing. court awareness, defensive positioning, and low post shooting than Dawson.

Brian Butch on his radio show this week, after Wisconsin lost to Baylor, was just RANTING about more of the "to play at Wisconsin, you need to be willing to sacrifice for the team.  You need to be bigger than yourself".  The same tired trope that always comes up whenever they fall short.  Vilify everyone who doesn't want to play at Wisconsin for one reason or another.

I hope he enjoyed trading his college career for a chance at the NBA.  Smoking a ton of copium if that is what he believes.

Greg really playing to his fan base on that one.
