Scholarship table
I just got word from Chico's sources about some really big stuff...that might end up being small stuff...or nothing at all. I can't tell you who or what it's about or if it will actually happen but if something does (or does not) happen, just remember that you heard it from me first. You're welcome!
Haha, these seriously are among my favorite threads. "I know something but I can't tell you." Seems to have died down a bit since the Crean era. I also miss, from that era, the pre-emptive complaining about the complainers thread right after a game loss.
And when I say I don't like what I'm hearing, that doesn't necessarily mean something illegal is going on. Things like recruiting kids that already have verballed to other schools, I don't like it but we do it now.
I'm going to defend Chicos a bit here. He is in a position to know some things. Other people on this board are as well. I have two good friends that work in B10 athletic departments and another good friend, who I have referenced here before, who family member is a national college basketball writer whose name we would all know here. I have talked about Buzz and MU hoops with all of these people repeatedly...I don't share the details because I can't confirm.But I can say this. Everyone says Buzz is "different," and like all people with that label, they are looked upon with some degree of admiration and some degree of suspicion...sometimes even within the same sentence. Is it based upon sour grapes? Is it because his reputation for being a little odd? Or is there really something there...I don't know. So you can either take what Chicos says at face value, or you can trash him...but if you trash him and he turns out to be right, you better acknowledge it.
I am sure that chico has heard things. Here is my issue. My daughter is at a high school that sends about 1 player a year total to D1. That is combined boys and girls in all sports. Even in this sheltered little world, you 'hear things.' I 'heard things' about TC's recruiting 5 years ago. I 'heard things' about Keno Davis. I have 'heard things' about Lloyd Carr, Brett Bielema, Tom Izzo. I take them all with a grain of salt.
Sounds to me like you know absolutely nothing concrete. And why am I not surprised you are sitting here patting yourself on the back when based on the above there is no way you can possibly be wrong. "it might be something...but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not" WTF is that?
So you can either take what Chicos says at face value, or you can trash him...but if you trash him and he turns out to be right, you better acknowledge it.
Chicos should switch to be being a Badger fan since I hear they do everything perfectly clean and morally....Or, maybe Buzz should ask WWTCD? (What Would Tom Crean Do?) since he was a perfect model human being...with fans like chico's, we don't need louisville or WVU or any other hater fans bases...
I spoke to Freeway and confirmed whatever Chicos is alluding to. I'm now squirmy. My fiancee is not pleased because it bothers her when I squirm. Details to follow.
MarkCharles.....academics was never an issue nor did anyone ever say it was. I'm thrilled MM confirmed that, but it was unnecessary as it has nothing to do with the situation at hand.
Don't you think that Chicos sources are a little better than yours?
'll love MU until the day I die, that doesn't stop me from being concerned about some things the university does and acts.Like trashing MU over Newbill nonstop for days on end without knowing all the facts. Sure is not love and an awful way to express concern...
Damn....you know if only you could have found a way to say NEVER and ALWAYS you could have won the daily double. Sorry, but whenever people use NEVER and ALWAYS I can tell right away they're full of crap because it's such a lazy response and ridiculously untrue.
