Kolek planning to go pro
Here are all freshmen (and Butler) sorted by ORtg. Cohen ranks #5
Kid has a great attitude....http://wbay.com/2015/02/02/cohen-making-impression-freshman-year/
Wouldn't surprise me. His best attribute, in my opinion, is he would appear to be supremely confident in his ability, while not be self absorbed as a player.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
“I’ve been ok with [the decrease in minutes since early in the season] because Coach Wojo has been around the game for a really long time and I know he knows whats best for me and my teammates and he’s just trying to put our team in the best position to win so if I’m not playing a lot one game its probably not best for the team so I believe in his coaching strategies,” said Cohen.Classic Wojo mind games.
I hope Sandy does great. Hope his shot starts to fall. Will be an asset. The best freshman in the state this yearis Redshirting--his name is ETHAN HAPP at UW. We will have to contend with him next year. Gives Kaminsky, Dekker and Hayes fits in practice. This is MU, but have to admit, we missed him. Also, Trevor Anderson ofStevens Point, Hauser's teammate is nothing fancy just plays hard, excellent shooter, sets people teammatesup, plays the point and defense. If Nick has a problem, Anderson would be a find.
Dickey Simpkins who is actually the one who determines playing time.
Perhaps you're right about Happ, but a 3-star recruit who chose UW over GB and UWM? Really? If he was really that ready to contribute, why is he redshirting as opposed to taking Duje Dukan's minutes?
I have learned to never really question what comes out of Madison in this regard. Say what you want, but Bo does a good job of getting much more out of player than is to be expected.
Happ may be forced into action earlier than most due to all the guys likely leaving Madison this year, but I'd guess he'll be that typical Bo guy that doesn't do much for a couple years then becomes another annoying Leuer/Kaminsky type that goes from role-player to quality starter on a top-25 team.Either that or he'll get BOned like Ian Markolf.

Wojo slurper. He's received more minutes than many anticipated going into the season. JJJ has received less. Cohen is the response to everyone who says that it isn't fair that JJJ isn't getting more minutes. The formula is simple. Work hard in practice every day. Know your defensive assignment. Take smart shots within the offense. Hustle when you get in the game. Earn your minutes.
Brian Butch.
Very good college player who was overrated coming out of high school.
I'm not sure I'd even say he was a very good college player. His senior year was by far his best season and he was 12 and 6. Solid? Definitely. But very good is overhyping his college career.
You'd have to look at secondary stats as well. I seem to recall those teams playing SUPER SLOW, thus, his point totals would partially be attributed to tempo... but maybe I'm just mis-remembering. Bo actually has been a very good recruiter, and has landed some high level talent (butch, Krabby, dekker, Steinsma, Harris, etc.), but he's really scored with some of his mid-level recruits that he's turned into REALLY good players (Frank, Leuer, Kam Taylor, etc.)I think some people automatically think of the Badgers as creating players from nothing, but they have good recruits. For whatever reason, it just FEELS like these dudes come from nowhere.
Jerel was an awful offensive player and a good defensive player as a freshman.
I would be very happy if all our incoming frosh would do so little their first year.Start from day 1 and deliver 25 MPG/9 PPG/4 RPG/100.1 Ortg for the season, despite missing 8 games in the middle of the season? Nah, not impressive at all.
Where was Happ going to get his minutes from? With Hayes, Dekker, Kaminsky, Dukan (a senior, seniors alwaysget minutes) and Vitto Brown. Happ probably would have Brown's minutes from the way Brown is playing.So why waste a year. Has 4 years left after this season.
