tragity? a player being asked? i think it was the player axking the coach, right? and who mentioned tragedy?
Says the guy claiming the Marquette felt they really needed to convince Joey he needed to be at Marquette a semester early so if he hated Marquette it'd make it harder for him to transfer.
I wonder if Joey’s strong pull to MSU was part of the reason MU got him on campus a semester early. Burning his redshirt may have been a preemptive way of making Joey think twice about transferring if he had a change of heart.
This is, of course, the most logical explanation given what we now know. The idea that Joey was driving the bus or that he needed to be in Milwaukee to rehab his ankle makes little sense. I'm sure the MU coaching staff felt that once they had Joey on campus he would love it - but the fact that it would make a future transfer for a kid with doubts more difficult was certainly a bonus.
Says the guy claiming the Marquette felt they really needed to convince Joey he needed to be at Marquette a semester early so if he hated Marquette it'd make it harder for him to transfer.You're right, let me shut my mouth because you know exactly what happened!We all love you Lenny. You provide some incredible comedy here. We know how Lenny's logic works.
More lies. But by all means keep digging. Tell us your inside information about Joey's free surgery performed by MU's doctors. That's why he came to MU early, right? The World According to Wades. Hilarious.
soft, slow, non-athletic
He’s a very good basketball player
Yup, he definitely has his weaknesses but he is still a hell of a player.
But he didn't get the ball enough so he left.
Ball didn’t move so he left. There’s a difference.
Joey started 31 games as a freshman -- finishing the season 1st on the team in 3-point percentage (42.5%), 2nd in rebounding (5.3 rpg), 3rd in scoring (9.7 ppg), 3rd in 3-pointers made (45) and 4th in minutes (29.2 mpg).So how does that compare to other recent freshman performances?Joey's older brother Sam started 28 games as a freshman -- finishing 1st on the team in minutes (26.5 mpg), 2nd in 2-point percentage (51.5%), 2nd in 3-point percentage (44.7%), 2nd in rebounding (5.0 rpg), 3rd in 3-pointers made (63) and 6th in scoring (8.8 ppg).Markus Howard started 27 games as a freshman -- finishing 1st on the team in scoring (13.2 ppg), 1st in 3-pointers made (82), 1st in 3-point percentage (54.7%), 3rd in assists (70), and 6th in minutes (22.0 mpg).Davante Gardner started 0 games as a freshman -- finishing 1st on the team in 2-point percentage (57.6%), 7th in scoring (4.6 ppg), 7th in rebounding, and 8th in minutes (9.0 mpg).Vander Blue started 12 games as a freshman -- finishing 4th on the team in steals (33), 5th in scoring (5.1 ppg), 5th in 3-point percentage (16.0%), 5th in assists (59) and 6th in minutes (19.0 mpg).Dominic James started 31 games as a freshman -- finishing 1st on the team in assists (167), 2nd in scoring (15.3 ppg), 2nd in steals (50), 2nd in minutes (32.5 mpg), 4th in blocks, 5th in 2-point percentage (49.6%) and 6th in 3-point percentage (30.1%).Jerel McNeal started 31 games as a freshman -- finishing 2nd on the team in assists (85), 3rd in scoring (11.1 ppg), 3rd in minutes (27.5 mpg), 7th in 2-point percentage (47.0%) and 7th in 3-point percentage (28.3%).Wes Matthews started 14 games as a freshman -- finishing 2nd on the team in 3-point percentage (43.8%), 3rd in assists (51), 3rd in steals (29), 4th in scoring (9.0 ppg), 4th in rebounding (4.0 rpg) 4th in minutes (24.9 mpg) and 9th in 2-point percentage (38.9%).Lazar Hayward started 16 games as a freshman -- finishing 3rd on the team in 2-point percentage (50.0%), 5th in rebounding (3.6 rpg), 6th in scoring (6.6 ppg), 6th in 3-point percentage (20.8%), 6th in steals (20) and 7th in minutes (16.3 mpg).Steve Novak started 0 games as a freshman -- finishing 1st on the team in 3-point percentage (50.5%), 2nd in 3-pointers made (55), 5th in scoring (6.7 mpg), 6th in minutes (15.5 mpg) and 7th in rebounding (2.2 rpg).Travis Diener started 3 games as a freshman -- finishing 1st on the team in 3-point percentage (44.2%), 1st in 3-pointers made (57), 3rd in assists (86), 4th in scoring (7.9 ppg) 5th in minutes (23.7 mpg) and 6th in rebounds (2.5 rpg).I could go back further. But it seems fair to say that Joey Hauser had as good a freshman season at Marquette as any player over the past 20 years not named Dominic James. Most freshmen are a work in progress. His performance suggests he's going to be very good player.
Markus had the highest assist rate on the team and was 125th in the nation.
The ball moved. Not the way he wanted.
Well we was the point guard And ran off to the Paul Westhead of 2019, Tom Izzo. While his brother left for Mike Dantoni 2.0, Tony Bennett. Both of whom are famous for feeding kids everything they want and letting the players call the shots. I just wish for their sake they would have found coaches who preach team and defense and have a proven track record. SMH.
Nick Ward and Cassius Winston took 28% of the shots while on the court. Joshua Langford was at 29%. Izzo isn’t afraid to let his best players dominate the ball. If we want to go back and look at other years, Denzel Valentine for example, was a guy that dominated the ball a lot. I’ll submit, not as much as Markus, none are as dynamic, though. Saying Izzo doesn’t let his best players dominate the ball, simply isn’t true
So true. Due to injuries, Winston rarely came off the floor. Dominated usage. Clearly more assists, but he has always been a PG. He won't be there when Joey is eligible, though.
Can you see the effort in the SUMMER workouts? These guys are busting their butts, and appear almost frenetic. The chemistry is already there. These guys look like a bunch with something to prove. Joey, right or wrong in being disgruntled, had horrible body language almost all year. Goodbye.Replacing the production of Sam, who always gave his all, is what I’m concerned with. I think doubters like you.....are in for a big surprise.
