I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Who's laughing? Who's not saying that he's an immensely talented kid? Only one poster keeps bringing him up. Why does that one poster have an obsession with one kid from Wisconsin that went on to play in the NBA, but completely ignored others. If he wasn't just doing it to troll, and was legitimately following Wisconsin kids in the NBA why no mention of Looney's injury?
Hausers didn't want to lay with him. Which rings a bell, somehow.
Sure, Woj didn't even sniff Whitnall HS after the Hausers wouldn't play nice in the sandbox with Tyler. Wonder how coach feels about that now, not that Herro would have chosen to play for Woj vs. Calipari.As for #5, he's doing quite well, thank you. Just bought a new crib. Even in San Francisco, $5mil per plus new shoe deal, can go quite far. I'll give him your best.

Y'll laugh, butt, ass ewe no, the kid kan flat out ball and wit swag ta boot, aina?
You actually brought Looney up. Good job. Was kind worried all your attention to random 19 year old boys was going to Tyler. Considering the Herro to UK rumors were going strong when he was still a badger commit, I feel confident in saying that there was nothing that Wojo could have done to get him, but since you know every 5* kid to come out of the state I'm sure you'll be seeing Jordan Poole, and Jalen Johnson and give us all first hand knowledge of their collegiate recruitment.
Not sure the Doc really deserved this. He makes it known who he's close to and who he isn't, not every 5*.
I want to clear the air here since some think I'm merely trolling. That is not the case. It is, however, my opinion that Wojo, for a multitude of reasons, is not capable of leading this program to the upper echelon of college basketball. Has he had glimmers of success over the past 5 years? Of course, but sustainability, has eluded him. I have maintained all along that a college coach should be judged on how successful he is in March. Wojo, in March, speaks volumes. But, it appears he has the full backing of MU's current administration. And, if he's fulfilling his job description, as was delineated to him when hired, I guess he'll continue to lead this program well into the future.Herro may never have given MU the time of day. I don't know that, nor is it likely that anyone else here has that answer in truth. But, if it is true that the Hausers convinced the coach that they didn't want to play with Tyler, it is a real sign of weakness that he acquiesced to that demand. Couple that with Sam and Joey leaving the program and you have to wonder if Steve has second thoughts on how he's handled the leadership of his program. I wonder how many high school coaches in WI are in Wojo's corner and would encourage their 4 and 5 star recruits to attend Marquette? I do not wish failure upon Wojo. Quite the opposite. But, my confidence that he is capable, is very low. Hope I'm wrong.BTW, I have never said or insinuate that I know the 5 stars in WI. As those of you who have been on this board for a while know, I have, however, known Kevon since he was 6 years old. Over the years, I have engaged in lengthy basketball discussions, not only with him, but also with his Mom and Dad. We continue to talk, albeit less basketball, and more every day life. He was in town just prior to the start of training camp and we met for quite a while.The Looneys are a marvelous family and I continue to celebrate Kevon's success. He has worked extremely hard to reach the pinnacle of basketball and is well deserving of everything he has earned.
I just wish you wouldn't sound so damn happy when Wojo misses on a recruit.
All in the eye of the beholder, I guess, but when I hear "He gone" or "Next man up" from the good doctor it sounds like resignation tinged with disappointment to me. Certainly not joy.And in fairness (eye of the beholder again), the defensiveness that I sense in you and others when Wojo misses may be me viewing through a biased lens.Bottom line - we all want MU success with every fiber in our being. Some are cheerleaders, some are critics, some wear both hats. Some are optimists, some pessimists. None are "better".
I like Doc. But sorry, Lenny, going into the recruiting thread the moment it looks like Marquette might lose a recruit and gleefully talking about "green weenies" is the opposite of "better." In the eye of this beholder, anyway.
There is, no doubt, a back and forth between posters with differing opinions of the state of the program. Wojophiles call out those not in their camp after each success. And those who think he's not the guy are just as quick to point out his failures. In the former's case, their joy is exacerbated by being able to say "I told you so". In the latter's case, their disappointment is (somewhat) assuaged by being able to say the same.But make no mistake, guys like 4ever (and Goose, Keefe, Lens, myself and others with the temerity to frequently or occasionally criticize Wojo) want him to win every recruiting battle, win every game - just as much as you do. Anoint yourself the better fan (or better person) if that makes you happy. I'll respectfully disagree.
Nobody thinks you know crap. You are a unnatural carnal knowledgeing dentist.
James Harden "ducking" out of the way of Giannis's airball 3 pointer was great. Giannis 2-5 from 3, Harden 1-8. Maybe worry about shooting over 15% from the field clown. Or maybe he wasn't ducking at all and it was just him spazzing out like he does when he's flopping around all over the court to bate refs into sending him to the free throw line.Guy's worse than LeBron.
