Rowsey visits MU on Wednesday...

[Sharpie]

Plus the options for immediate help next year are dwindling. If we can grab a player that can handle the ball, hit open shots, and hit free throws at a 90% clip (which we haven't had in a pg in a while) why not?

[MuMark]

Look at his numbers at SDSU before MU and it's too easy to get excited.
The fact that Buzz recruited him but didn't utilize him properly is a testament to Buzz not recognizing how to play to the Jake's strength. But you can't continue to set screens for a player when that means you're taking out your more effective defenders/scorers. The "switchables" have to be able to take their defenders on mano-y-mano. Still explain Jake's FT decline from SDSU; I guess he wasn't given the aggressive green light to drive to the hoop, or he was fouled by more un-athletic defenders in his conference.

The same is going to happen with Rowsey: unathletic - or at least not on par with BE guards - but can shoot.
Then add to it that he's shorter than Jake, and he's gonna get posted all game.

As a back-up, sure. But I don't see him in the starting role.
If he's there, there's more issues with the offense than I first thought.

Except that Buzz didn't really recruit him......He wanted to get back home and see if he could play at a higher level. He contacted MU not vice versa and Buzz agreed to take him......AS A WALK ON!

Rowsey was recruited by a bunch of high majors when he announced his transfer including  Cincy, NC State, Tenn and MU......http://www.roanoke.com/sports/colleges/virginia-tech-tennessee-among-major-schools-eyeing-andrew-rowsey/article_a7a8aff0-9d05-511f-906b-5fa06c171fa7.html

He won't be walking on anywhere

Right.  And my guess is that if Jake Thomas simply announced a transfer, he wouldn't have received the same high major offers that Rowsey is getting.

[WarriorPride68]

I agree with you. Just because he is white and 5'10" does not mean the kid can't play high level ball.

Not a loaded question...for those who know more than I: are their 5'10 Caucasian point guards that play heavy minutes for high majors?

Only one that came to mind was TJ McConnell who transfered from Duquense to 'Zona. But he is nearly 6'2

Alex Barlow from Butler?

Alex Barlow from Butler?

It does not matter what color you are, all that matters is that you can put the ball in the hole,  watching the Wake highlights he knows how to get open and get his shot off.  If the bigs stay
around for two years, MU might be seeing more zones anyway, then he can always get his shot off with a good pass.

This guy played heavy minutes for a high major.

I hope a memo goes out that tells me when I have to change my screen name to Rowsey82.

I was thinking MU8Drew. And I could be Drewcity77.

Mo Acker was 5'8".  Why does skin color matter?

[GGGG]

Dominic James was 5'11"

[tower912]

Hutch was 5'9.   I don't worry about melatonin.

Because Wojo is turning us into SLU!!!!

[Pakuni]

Obligatory Cordell Henry mention.

[Pakuni]

Because Wojo is turning us into SLU!!!!

And wants a roster full of players who remind him of himself!

[Nevada233]

Pretty sure the three point line is the same distance in every conference. Any kid who can hit over 100 threes in a season is good enough for our roster. He may not be the starter, but he'll certainly have a role. If Wojo doesn't feel confident about any PGs in 2016, signing Rowsey would allow him to wait until 2017 to sign a PG. This allows him to use the 2 2016 schollies on Coffey/Hauser.

Saw him play in person he can put up numbers but shoots alot. Don't know if he can score the same amount at the Big East level.

I seriously doubt he could put up the same numbers, but as usage goes down, efficiency typically rises. For as high usage as he was, he had decent efficiency numbers. At Marquette, he wouldn't have to be the man, so his usage would go down but his efficiency should climb. I think at minimum, he would be a nice 15 minutes off the bench kind of player.

Rick Lewis @Coach_Rick57
Per source, it looks like a two team race for Andrew Rowsey
Cincinnati and Marquette

Oh yeah he'd be great in 15 min off the bench as a spark. Because when he's on he can score with best of them and hes not afraid to shoot (He's a better ball handler than Carlino or Jake Thomas ever were but not as good of a shooter as either but a better scorer than both to me) he put 30 on Wake Forest this year. If he goes to MU I'm sure he will do good, If he goes to Cinci he plays more but MU he wins more. It's his decision to make..

[GB Warrior]

Dominic James was 5'11"

In heels.

[LAMUfan]

so visit was yesterday?  any word on him in a boot or anything else of note?
