Sounds great to me. Hope he gets in playing shape quickly and becomes part of the rotation in short order.

This. Reminds me if that year (2007?) that everyone was hoping and praying for otule & fulce to get healthy and play.

The season is saved!!!!

But seriously, folks ... I am looking forward to seeing him, as we all are.

First, we need the help. Second, it's the whole curiosity thing. Unlike some of y'all, I've never seen him play one second in high school or anywhere else.

If we see even just one bit of promise and flash in his game on Saturday we can get even more excited.  We don't execute many "pretty" plays on offense any more.

Have you no sense of reality?  A freshman thrown into games with little practice, probably not totally in game shape, and doesn't yet know the system and has never defended at a D1 level is worth a couple exciting plays, a bunch of turnovers, and countless "points against".  I do hope the young man is fit and well but zero expectations from here.

Heretics!  He will lead the team in points, assists, rebounds, steals, and the stress fracture will have given him a peculiar spring to his jump that will enable him to break McIlvaine's career blocks record in one shortened season.  The Elite Eight would be a disappointment now that one of the gods is suiting up for us.

Buzz said at the preseason luncheon that he had to fill 25 minutes after Duane got hurt. He was going to play a lot of minutes for Marquette, let's hope he can get back to that level this year.

Post by: martyconlonontherun on December 10, 2013, 09:37:04 PM
Even if he won't be ready to contribute Sat, this is great news for conference play.

We need all the offense we can get and Duane has shown in high school he is a natural playmaker. If he can be a 10 minute spark off the bench, it will make all the difference in the world.

Post by: Daniel on December 10, 2013, 09:45:19 PM
Bottom line: for us, for the team and for the young man, it's always great when an injured player returns to action.  I'm happy god him.

And while expectations should be modest, let us not forget that the Three Amigos started as Freshmen and carried us through a good initial BEast season. All I'm saying is that if this year's crop can grow up faster than expected...

He didn't imply that all 25 minutes would go to Duane though (or any of them, to be honest). He just seemed to suggest that there were 25 minutes on the perimeter available if one of the players could step up and fill them.

Post by: Canned Goods n Ammo on December 11, 2013, 08:28:25 AM
Odds are he'll show flashes of being very good, and have lapses where he's bad.

That's what you get with most/all frosh.

MU is starving for help at PG (no PG can play 38min. per game), so there is an opportunity for Duane to play if he can earn it.

I did break the news about McKay transferring because this same guy gave me the info straight from Duane's mouth.  You doubted me there too.

But it's not a credible source  ::).  I must've just made a lucky guess before anybody else had heard he was transferring.

Sorry I point out the fact that Jay Cutler has nearly 20 more career turnovers than touchdowns and that in the NFL that does not equate to success and you can't handle that.  I make very few statements about what is going on behind the scenes regarding Marquette basketball.  When I do, it's typically not from a source that isn't credible.

I'm not calling you out, I have heard that he isn't completing a full practice yet and probably will not be playing against IUPUI. I guess we will see.

Fair enough.  Maybe he's getting giddy and anxious to play and told the person I know out of overexcitement when he's not ready yet.  Hopefully he'll be ready to get a few minutes and keep building as he gets comfortable with the speed of the game.

Hmm...5'9" exactly? Or maybe it's something more complex that has made you so ultra sensitive.

Short man syndrome.

What I suspected.  Meaning that rather than attack a poster's argument, or the reasoning behind their position, the poster is attacked directly.  Besides being a classic argumentative flaw, it's tacky.

You are correct, sir.  I was merely taking a stab at explaining the comment, not necessarily supporting it.

I'm skeptical of posts involving "I heard from a guy..." information. I don't really understand what's wrong with that. However, when I said this, wades flew off the handle with THREE separate posts wondering how anyone could ever question him and his airtight sources. Being overly sensitive is not new territory for wades. If you're ever on the NFL North thread, you know what I mean. I was merely trying to figure out why he's so ultra sensitive and decided to use Occam's Razor (thanks, Guns). Sorry if you think that's tacky but it's a logical place to start.

Well, I actually had zero problem with your post.  You stated the reasoning behind why you are skeptical of his posts.   That makes for a high quality post.  No worries.    :)

I just have a problem with "you're under 5'9", right?" type posts.

Bingo.

I'm not the one who questions the credibility of the source every time you post something.  Then again, you already explained that you didn't even look at who was posting when you questioned the credibility of the source when you questioned it.  Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.  Questioning a source without looking at the source.  Interesting route to take.

Also funny that you cite the NFC North thread as proof of me being ultrasensitive.  All I have done is provide the numbers that Cutler and McCown have put up.  What you do in response?  Instead of providing numbers to prove facts, you just state that anybody who thinks McCown may be better off as the Bears QB is just a "football idiot."  Once again, attack the poster rather than the argument.  Maybe somebody else is ultrasensitive?

Oh good. Another rant about how you're not oversensitive.  ::) Congrats on your insider info but I'm still going to be skeptical of any insider info posted on a message board that isn't from an obvious credible source. So what? Why does that bother you so much?

Actually, that's not what I said on the other thread. My exact comment was: "Jay Cutler is a significantly better and more talented QB than Josh McCown. Anyone arguing otherwise, quite frankly, is a football idiot." Care to disagree with that? Also, that post wasn't in response to anything that you said specifically yet you took it personally. Hmm...

I don't want to hijack this thread any more. Let's all move on.

I actually didn't even respond to it at all. So no I didn't take it personally. Just pointing out you ignore numbers and attack posters.
