Oso planning to go pro
Please speak English.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
There's a certain word that gets autocorrected on scoop to "pretty boy"
Which is nevertheless made up entirely of English words.
Yes, but it doesn't change the "an" to "a" to make it proper english. I assume that's what Stretch was going for.
My Top Ten Approved Discussion Points for this Off Season1) The BBQ and the date of July 10th working around family vacations2) The gall of MU to charge for Aisle seats3) Is UMBC Elite?4) When we win the NCAA next year will Trump invite us to the White House?5) Did MUHilltopper get the Burger King on Port Rd closed to open the Arby's instead?6) The new on campus Arena, what did Zilber Hall know and when did they know it7) How will the FiServ Forum Lighting affect Marcus' bid to shoot 80% from 38) If you invested $100,000 in the summer of 2007 what would it be worth today9) Has LeDaryll signed his LOI yet10) Why are you still reading this list
As a graduate of the 90's (3 NCAA's in 4 years not to brag) LeDaryll was our Jim Chones.
The LensLeDaryll was a very nice addition. That said, your original post made more sense to me. At this time, I am not worried that Wojo has too much talent to manage. Actually, I am more worried that Wojo can coach up the talent. I am looking forward to the day that too much talent is on campus.
Let's see what he does with the talent. Thus far his results have been disappointing.
GooseI agree. Let's see what he does with the talent. Thus far his results have been disappointing.
Disagree. I like the way our program has progressed. Almost a mirror image of Tony Bennett's progression at Virginia. This season and next, barring serious injuries or some other kind of calamity, will tell us if Wojo can or can't coach. I'm optimistic -- partly because I do believe he will show he can coach, and partly because being optimistic is more productive and calming than being pessimistic.
At the end of the day, college sports takes a distant back seat to the laughter of an infant, the love of a good woman, or the brilliance of a colleague. Perspective matters.
I would say his results have been average so far based on what preseason expectations were compared to how he actually finished.Year 1: Met expectations of being terribleYear 2: Fell short of expectations of being an NITish type teamYear 3: Exceeded expectations of no national writers having us in the tournament preseasonYear 4: Met expectations of being an NIT team. In fact, KenPom said we would finish 50th and we finished 53rd.
Speak for yourself, bruh. BallIsLifeGonna be a fun ride this year. May lose some early ones with a number of very challenging games... this would cause many to b1tch & moan... but by the end of the season, ppl will understand what a special group we have
I cannot find fault with what you have written. But life is funny in that what is desired is often very different than what is possible. For me, given Marquette's commitment to its hoops program, I wish for better results than what we have experienced and what I think could have been possible.Let's do a comparison. Buzz Williams inherited a far worse situation at VPU. And he plays in the toughest conference in college basketball. In the same amount of time he is posting winning records in the ACC and is now getting his team into the NCAA consistently. Frankly, VPU's stature and profile is now higher than Marquette's. Coaching matters. I am not convinced Wojo has the right stuff but I really do want to be proven wrong.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
I don't think many here would dispute that Buzz is a better coach right now than Wojo. However with Buzz there were certain strings attached that the administration wanted to move away from. I do think Buzz peaked while at MU (I don't think he will get an E8 at VT, he may if he moves on somewhere else). Also to many, including some on this board, the only thing that matter is post season success, and Buzz and Wojo have the same number the NCAA tourney wins.
The group may be special which is a credit to the coaching staff/recruiting. The question comes down to, do we have anything more than an average, in-game coach? I've yet to see anything in Wojo that leads me to believe he can coax/squeeze a few more wins out of his teams by being a savvy tactician.That aside, I can live with a team that is an NCAA tourney team, back of Top 25 - and Wojo seems to have us there at least from a talent/depth perspective now in Year 5.
