Oso planning to go pro
Maybe Wojo wasn't completely sold on Hill and that came across to Hill. I think there is way too much hand wringing about recruits. It is a loss to be sure, but there are other players. Who knows how any of these guys will turn out.
I disagree. I hope he does, he obviously has a relationship with Buzz and that is what matters. Say what you want but Buzz has been a mentor to many young men, and is a positive role model. Can we have one day on this board without bashing Buzz or Crean.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
This is a loss for the Program. he said he would go to MU, unless he heard something he did not like when talking to Wojo. Wonder what it was?
Matt Carlino might be solid option.
Agree with all of this, especially the second part.We don't know what Wojo wants in a player. Maybe there was a red flag in their conversation for him, or Ahmed. Never know. This is all part of the dance with a coaching change. Can't hold it against the kid, or the coach.
My instinct is that Wojo probably turned him down at Duke.
he said he would go to MU, unless he heard something he did not like when talking to Wojo. Wonder what it was?
you're saying Wojo cooled on him?
Do we really want to take a chance with another Mormon?
Doubt very much if WoJo ever goes the juco route. Cut from a different cloth than Bart.
Your kidding yourself if you think Wojo didn't want him. Red Flag? These are big time programs, pretty arrogant to think that he's good enough for them but not the Great Marquette University. I'm confident MU, with 3 open scholarships, could find room. Jeesh.
My concern is we miss out on Stone, Ellenson and Schwartz and instead get players like Heldt who while a good player, is not in the same class as the above 3.
You're embarrassing yourself. Florida is going after him hard. Missouri, Va Tech, Ga Tech, etc. I'm sure Wojo called him and said he wasn't good enough. Jesus.
The ship may very well have already sailed on Ellenson and Schwartz, but nothing has been heard yet from the Stone camp (at least I haven't seen anything, yet). It was commonly thought on this board that Stone's father was skeptical about Buzz, but Marquette seemed to have a decent shot at Stone nonetheless. Maybe Buzz moving on only helps with Stone. Who knows at this point?
So the first ripple comes along and there are people already bailing on the new coach. WOW! What's gonna happen when he loses his first game next year?
So was Scoop shut down because of Hill's announcement? (Not sure if I should use teal or not)
Right now all 9 existing non-seniors are staying.Chief Cohen has re-commited.So 10 players for sure.Hill, Shayok have asked for their release. Pierce has said nothing.So we have three open scholarships.We need more than 10 players. Can barely hold a scrimmage. How do you scrimmage if someone is sick/hurt/has a test?Banking scholarships would be a disastrous idea. Wojo has to get bodies!!
Wasn't he creaned at Indiana?
Frankly, we expect better. No, we DESERVE better. Wojo should consider this a warning shot.
First loss = UNACCEPTABLE!
