Oso planning to go pro
I wouldn't exactly call that a convenient excuse.
...this, coming from someone posting under the name 'Jamil_toMU10'...This is clearly a convenient excude. Under the scenario that Brad Forster posted above, remove the name DJ Newbill and replace it with Harrison Barnes. Im not so sure the end result would be the same, would it? Besides, let's say, hypothetically, that the MU coaching staff signs a player to fill DJ's scholarship for the upcoming season. At this point in time, this future player/student has not filled out an application and mailed it in, either. So, either way, an application will be coming in late. Phill coach, Is there any way you can play hardball and stick it to the MU staff? What if DJ didnt fillout the release form and mail it back? Im assuming that he wouldnt be able to attend regardless since the coach wouldnt want him around. But this may also prevent MU from signing a different player right away. Why do I have a feeling MU will be far more proactive in making sure DJ fills out the release form than they were about him filling out the application? Show them some Philly love. Either way, I cant imagine MU will be recruiting another player from Philly anytime soon.
i feel for the kid. but he's allegedly thrilled to come to MU and application papers sit there uncompleted on the kitchen counter??? what's up with that?
Again, we've all known for a while that a recruit was headed the prep school route due to grades.
I have to say I am disappointed in many here who are already disappointed in Buzz and the MU program, for what? Because of one version of events that may or may not have happened? As everyone knows, there are two sides to every story and the truth generally falls somewhere in between. Yet, we have heard one side of the story thus far...sort of, and people have a lesser opinion of Buzz. Could everything that has been submitted thus far be 100% true? Sure. Is that likely the case? Not from where I'm sitting.
What I don't get is how this could legally happen so quickly?In a matter of a day, Wilson asks for his release, finds out there is an upcoming opening at Marquette, decides to go to Marquette.I don't get how Wilson can make that decision in less than 12 hours unless he knew beforehand that he would have an open spot at Marquette. It just seems fishy and looks like Wilson knew when he asked for his release that Marquette could make a scholarship appear, which seems like a NCAA no-no.
I'm interested in why DJ wasn't on campus with the rest of the guys?? I will hold back my judgement but there is something going on. Regardless of how this all pans out I hope DJ lands on his feet.
Of course it didn't happen that quickly, so the question kind of becomes which was the chicken and which was the egg? Did both Wilson and particularly MU know there might be an open slot soon, and Wilson delayed doing anything until that happened? Or, did Wilson tell Buzz he wanted to come to MU, so Buzz had to create an open spot for him?
Having said that there are quite a few "if this is true" qualifiers in the posts. We need to wait and see how this plays out, way too much speculation to make a rational decision.
It just seems prearranged which does not seem like a good thing.
Forget Rosiak, just call Buzz's cell phone.
