"He'll be back Saturday."

[Daniel]

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.

[jsglow]

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...

[Marqus Howard]

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.

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.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

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.

[MerrittsMustache]

It would be great news. However, until hearing from a credible source or seeing Duane on the floor Saturday, I'm going to be skeptical.

[KenoshaWarrior]

Re: Duane Wilson.

I think we were all hoping you were going to say Aaron Rodgers, you know with the Marquette season being over as of last saturday and all

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.

Thanks for the info. Just to clarify, will he play Saturday?  Or is he cleared?

[wadesworld]

Someone who talks to him on a daily basis told me, "He'll be back Saturday!"  I am assuming that means he is medically cleared and expecting to at least get a few minutes of playing time.

[wadesworld]

It would be great news. However, until hearing from a credible source or seeing Duane on the floor Saturday, I'm going to be skeptical.

Buzz said he's fully cleared to play on his radio show. Is Buzz a credible enough source? I'm 2 for 2 in blind random stabs.

Just a big coincidence that over the last 6 months I've broke some relatively big news regarding Marquette basketball shortly before it was made public. No idea how I do it with no credible sources available to me. I even provided the specifics in PMs to people who asked me about them. I just go into this blackout mode like I'm possessed and start stabbing keys on my keyboard and all of a sudden a message is sent. Crazy.

A little sensitive are we, wades? Sheesh. Forgive me for being skeptical of "news" on Scoop that starts with, "I heard from a guy..." Honestly, I didn't even pay attention to who started the thread nor have I followed your insider info particularly closely. For that, I apologize  

By the way, your obsession with Jay Cutler is comical.

[Dawson Rental]

So if he comes in and plays like our other freshmen saviors, who or what are we going to pray for?

Dominant bigs, of course!

[Dawson Rental]

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.

I expect that he will shows flashes of being the next Magic Johnson.

#He'll have to, to play ahead of Dawson.

You can't count this one (#3) until Saturday.

[wadesworld]

Fair point. Buzz did say he is cleared to play. But playing and being cleared are different things.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

If he is 100% I say play him on Saturday. Use the next few cupcakes to get him ready for conference play. Let's hope he's as good as advertised

If it ain't from BigDaddy, it ain't real.

To be fair, BigDaddy said that Duane would be back for the Wisconsin game.

Guess what--that is also what we are getting from our more seasoned players. Read: Mayo, Thomas, Wilson, Otule, Anderson, etc.]

Sounds like an AC to me....so you're cheating!
