[Galway Eagle]

Duane Wilson just tweeted "big bro entering the NBA draft proud of him" hope he wasn't talking about Vander.

I wish he would answer our tweets.....

I just saw that too but now it looks like he deleted the tweet. What could that mean?!?!?!

He has since deleted the tweet. This makes me even more worried.

It was taken down quick to, plus McCay just tweeted "they wanna know bad haha"  This is looking bad if you ask me.

How am I supposed to sleep tonight? Dammit Duane...

Good luck Vander on the next path of your journey.  Thank you for all your hard work.

Just tweeted in reply to somebody else:

"talking bout Ricky Ledo"

But why delete the tweet?

Phew, good thing he wasn't talking about Van. What a coincidence though that he would tweet that now when Ledo declared a week ago.

Ricky Ledo my ass. Gotta be Vander all the way and he's covering his skin. Trey J, come on down!!!

[Clam Crowder]

How would he know Ricky? Ricky has been playing on the east coast. Would they know each other from the AAU circuit? If Van declares tonight with the paper he will be back. He isn't gonna hear good things on his draft status.

Ricky declare like around April 9th I believe....so definitely sounds like a core up....

Nothing to see here.  The MU Scoop Detectives have solved the case!!!!

(hows about we just, I dunno, not hound an 18 year old kid on twitter...)

[Rockmic87]

Just got a text from Duane saying he was messing with us! He likes to monitor the board from time to time.

Unfortunately Vander will make the wrong decision tomorrow and leave.  Good luck Vander

Tranferrin' to Notre Dame?

Never want to have to totally rely on two freshmen in the backcourt, but I see what you're saying. Those guys have the talent, but Van's experience is invaluable.

I know he's persona non grata around here, but Mayo could really benefit if Blue leaves. Todd's a guy who needs some burn to get going. I get why Buzz handled him the way he did this season, but he never really got into the flow. If he's the starter at the two, and knows those minutes are out there this summer, I can see him having a really nice season.

I don't know why so many people try to make Mayo something he is not. He is not even close to a viable replacement for Blue. What we have seen from him the last two years is what he is. Streaky shooter, questionable shot selection, plays poor defense for the most part and looks like he doesn't like being here. (I said "looks" don't know if that is true.)

Don't get me wrong, I hope you are correct, but I don't see it give his body of work.

What did you think of Blue after 2 years?

Facebook and Twitter gets you in trouble all the time!

I loved Blue's game from day one, and have always said that here and elsewhere. The difference is Blue came in as a 17 year old freshman with high expectations, Mayo is already 21 or 22.

 Their games are not even close to the same. Blue is a great defender that's why he played as a freshman, he is more of a slasher and can get to the rim, his jump shot at least early on was not as good as Mayo's, but he does many other things that help the team.

I know that he hasn't shown much, but his minutes have been spotty at best. Much like Vander's were his first two years.

I wasn't "making him something he's not." The kid has been written off completely on here because he hasn't produced on the spot minutes he's played. Some guys can come off the bench and score right away. Some need to get a lather going first. I think he might be the latter. We'll see.

Like I said, I hope your are right, and I do not dislike Mayo. When he is on, he is a game changer. Maybe a full offseason with his head straight and scholastic problems behind him will be the turning point for him or maybe he is the next to transfer, Who knows.

Speaking of Duane's tweets, I think he needs to start laying off the twitter a little bit next year.  He tweets A LOT, and it could become a problem as he continues to gain a higher profile.

Marquette Athletics just tweeted that Vander is forgoing his senior year for the NBA.
