Best recruit to get away from us
« on: April 22, 2012, 08:14:52 PM »
We have been in a lot of big recruits over the years and left at alter more than I like. I think losing Mark Aquire was biggest one lost. Changed our history for next25years.

Goose, you're going to have to give a time frame.    Agguire, McCray, Wolf, back in the day.     Recently, JuJuan Johnson....Dieng.....TTaylor....Schumpert.....

I'm going with Wolf.  Ripped the heart out of the team that didn't recover for many years.

All good picks for different reason. My memory takes me back to '70 as being a fan and think that all lost guys are a unique story. To me Aquire because it changed our history more than any other with exception of Wolf IMO. But other lost guys hurts well. Losing Scooter McRay was big for a lot of reason, cost us his brother and Milt Wagner.

Sam Bowie, Scooter McCray (would have brought his brother the next year), Joe Wolf and Donald Royal.  All those hurt.

Every time I watched JuJuan play during his last couple of years, I kept picturing him doing that at MU and realizing what a difference a competent big would have made for the amigos.    Travesty.

Good call on Tarik Black.   He could have been a difference maker at MU.

Alando Tucker - if that is still considered recent.

I would add Wally Szcerbiak, though that was not by his choice.

This.  For sure from immediate post-Al era.

He might not be the best player to choose not to come to MU, but Shumpert's decision might be the most significant (I would say it was for the better) if it was truly the motivation behind Crean's decision to leave.

I never heard that Szcerbiak was interested in MU.    Storytime.   What happened?

Shumpert was tough. Really liked him then and like him more now. Thought we were going to land him.

Really so many and the list keeps growin'. Aguirre and Wolf are the immediate top two. How 'bout Darrell Griffith, Sam Bowie, Ernie Grunfeld, Calvin Rayford, or Bill Hanzlick.
