Oso planning to go pro
At this point I believe the jury really is out on Wojo as a coach. He might end up being a top tier coach or out the door in two years. His recruiting is solid, but the class this year is very top heavy and not a program changer. Hope he delivers the goods, but not placing any wagers on his future success at this moment.
He was probably getting paid as much as many head coaches.
Just don't want him to be majerus 2.0 where all the tremendous success comes after his time here.
My biggest issue with the hire was the length of time he wax an assistant. Usually there is a reason why it takes so long. I have no doubt he had great interview and the type of guy MU wants a coach. Do not know if that means success follows.
Majerus needed to leave and Marquette needed him to leave.
As far as I am concerned , Wojo should be feeling some pressure to produce this year. We are a program with an impressive history, incredible facilities and resources and there are plenty of good coaches who would love to coach here and could win with the talent we have today.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
349 out 351 in player experience.349.
If anyone is watching the Duke Kentucky game it is very clear the athletic difference between those teams and MU. It's an entirely different level. Its less coaching and more superior talent. It seems like the only way to compete against these type of teams is proficient 3 point shooting. Like golf ... putting is the great equalizer. In B-ball it seems to be great 3 point shooting. Maybe Hauser and others will add that in the future. FYI watch Plumlee and compare to Luke - no comparison in terms of aggressiveness and athleticism.
Why? Because we really wanted the rest of the 80s and early 90s to suck?
But in weighted average player experience, more like 275.BTW, Kentucky last year was #346.
Marshall Plumlee is a fricken' grad student. He's probably trying to get another year of eligibility because Coach K doesn't know how to coach a team without a Plumlee anymore. Oh, and Duke's freshman are struggling on defense, too. Three times they've given up the reverse while standing right under the basket.
Some might suggest that a roster stocked with McDonald's AAs and FOUR lottery picks might be an outlier when considering that particular statistic.
My point is, it's early in the season. BTW, with 7:45 left in the second half, Duke has 12 turnovers and there are 3 freshmen (1 Duke, 2 KY) with four fouls. Clearly, Coach K's not doing his job. He's gotta go.
This thread is ridiculous.
