Scholarship table
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
Get help. Seriously.
Keep the faith. HC's value, or perceived Scoop value, is low. With incoming players playing similar position and potential lineup changes over the next two years, HC value expectations should be quelled. But if you feel he is being undervalued or underestimated--that's cool.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I don't think losing Joey is a black eye for Wojo. Nor do I think an inordinate amount of time has been put in on Joey. I am no fan of Wojo but he is a very good recruiter, if he doesn't get Joey to join us , I am pretty sure we will get someone of equal or better ability. Wojo and his sidekick Stan have a lot of irons in the fire for 2018. Joey has not even announced his finalist yet. So I am quietly hoping the young man comes our way, but am also very keen on a number of the other prospects we are looking at.
When MUFINY is the voice of reason...Seriously, guru, you really need to find some level of chill.
So all of you would be okay with seeing Joey in badger red?? That would absolutely suck, and if any of you don't think so..then there are badger boards to post on for your fandom. Duh, I get Coaches lose recruits all the time..but for those of you that are a little slow..when a kid commits elsewhere it's not only on the kid, the coach has to take some level of responsibility for losing him. It's a two way street. Now maybe if it's a kid where you really had no shot at, got in the game late etc, okay that's a different ball game. When a recruit has a brother that plays on the team(especially when they are close), and another good friend, and you have been recruiting him harder and longer than any other coach, and he still decides to go elsewhere..especially an in state rival?? Look Joey is not the be all end all, I get that, especially if Wojo rebounds by landing a Kahvon Moore or something, but losing Joey to Wisconsin should sting a lot to each and every one of you. Michigan State...I can live with that.
I like this. pSv, a new advanced stat
Or maybe Joey will decide he wants to spend his college years someplace else.People talking like he is already committed is strange.He has lots of good options and if he decides to go elseware I hope people deal with it well......but I know they won't.
I have no doubt that Joey and his family love MU. However, I feel in the end it will be the fact that Joey and Sam will be completing for playing time that will result in Joey in going elsewhere.
Cripes you people sure make leaps here...where did i say that not landing Joey ruins Wojo's entire tenure as a Coach, or that it's the defining moment?? I never said that! All i said was..it would not be a good look for Wojo losing Joey when he has just about ever advantage going for him. That is all I said. And it wouldn't be a good look. That's indisputable, but if that's the worst thing that happens under Wojo's tenure, I'm good with that. As of this moment, the book is still out on Wojo. I know a lot of you wet your pants with excitement over them making the tourney..but that should be far from their defining moment under Wojo. If you are content with just getting in the tourney, then so far you are probably in love with Wojo, he's done that for you. He has recruiting well so far for the most part. I'll give him that.You all are the same group that heaped endless praise on Wojo for his ability to land Henry..yet wouldn't ding him if he lost Joey. Hmmm..you can't have it both ways..If a Coach gets all the praise when he lands someone, then he too also has to take at least some responsibility in losing someone(depending on circumstances of course). So..kid commits=Praise....Kid doesn't commit=That's just the way recruiting is. All on a "HS kids decision". Got it.
Highlight videos don't do much for me and with Cain and Elliot both being ranked in the 140-200 range, I don't expect much more than bench minutes from them this season. If they are being undervalued (which I suspect they might be based on my amateur observations) than they will surpass that and I will be very happy.
He may not end up at Marquette (although we are the overwhelming favorite), but THIS will most definitely not be a reason he doesn't come here.
Why?So we won't have any scholly's for 6 Top 50 players we are visiting over the next 2 weeks.....
If Cain and Elliot are "fairly valued" in the 140-200 range this recruiting class will very likely be a disappointing one.
Yes... Wojo's diabolical plan...entails filling up the roster... so that he can't get...highly ranked players...
I expect Elliott to get some minutes, maybe 20 for sure as a back-up to both guards. So he will get good minutes from the start. Cain will battle Cheatham andAnim at the SF position, best man is going to win there, but Cain will get 15-20 in my estimation. John will get early minutes with Froling out and maybe becomethe starter over Held. So I would say the frosh will get minutes next year. The following year even if they get Joey will be a fight for playing time. Secondly, Joeyis good but he is not a savior. He looks better than Sam in some ways, a little bigger, probably not as good a shooter, and neither are quick jumpers. Takes timeaway from Sam, wonder how Wojo is spinning that?
