Kolek planning to go pro
Faith that the program was going to have March success under Wojo. Faith that next year wasn't going to be a redux of the final seven games. Faith that next year was going to be more than just the Markus Howard show.
Sam was much better than Markus in those games.
Not reallyAnd Joey didnt belong on the court. Was it Seton Hall where Joey lireally handed them the ball on like 6 Straight plays?
Like when he turned the ball over on the first four possessions of the game to clinch the Big East?Literally each of the first four possessions. How can you complain about Markus’ long leash when the Hausers also we’re given a long leash?
Instead of talking about "long leashes" or a few turnovers look at the facts. Markus's usage was off the charts high in our swoon and his Ortg sucked. Sam was much better overall and light year's better if you throw out Creighton.
How are you so sure they gave a crap about team accomplishments? Koby and Greg were coming to take some of the ball handling duties off Markus yet they still left. It wasn’t about team success, it was about their careers.
I must have missed when Sam was carrying us down the stretch?
Honestly, take a step back. We watched Sam Hauser for three years. In that time, did you ever get the impression that he was anything but a team guy?Hell, most here during his tenure wished he was more selfish. And, when he was limping around in the NIT games last year, was he doing that for his own benefit?
Not sure why everything has to be such an either or. He can be a great guy, team player, unselfish, wants his team to be successful, etc., and still feel his best chance to make the NBA is by going somewhere else.
Why are you assuming that the transfer out is about his NBA chances?
Because I am. I know that sounds dumb, but Quite frankly it’s what it should be about IMO. May not get there, but both should at least have the aspirations, and I assume they do. That said, the way the roster was set up for next year, they’re probably doing the right thing. I firmly believe both would’ve seen reduced minutes and rolls. There doesn’t necessarily need to be a villain(s) in this. Has anyone considered the possibility that Wojo and Hauser family discussed as adults and they made the decision they thought was best?
let me start with the guys he's not going to guard1. Ja Morant2. ...
There's no way Sam's role was going to be diminished. He had a legit shot at being a first team all Big East pre-season selection. He was going to play 30+ minutes a night.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
They were both going to play 30 plus.
What I heard...It may not be over yet. More dominos may fall. Take it for what it’s worth-bad reporter
Well, that’s what he played this year. You honestly believe with McEwen and Elliott coming in, and the way Bailey played late in the year that his minutes weren’t going to decrease? The math just doesn’t work. Those minutes have to come from somewhere. I love both of them (remember I’m the one arguing that they are NBA prospects), but those more athletic guys were going to be on the floor. You can only play 5 guys at a time.
What I heard from my daughter (she is a student) is the student basketball managers have been talking for at least a month that this was possible. One more could transfer. Not everyone on the team is upset at what transpired today, despite a general liking of the Hauser brothers.
