Kolek planning to go pro
Even though its frustrating to see the team falter when it could soar, Id keep Wojo for as long as we can. I like that dude.
What I like about Wojo:Recruits wellRuns a clean program (as far as we know)Represents Marquette wellOffensive geniusWilling to try things defensively. Zone, 3/4 trap, trapping in the zoneWhat I don't like about Wojo:Doesn't recruit multidimensional, multiple positional players. i.e. Switchables. Cain and Elliott are steps in the right direction.I don't like how he uses his big man on high pick and rolls. Don't have him defending guards in space. Get his butt back to the lane and make your guards defend. Hasn't had a complete roster in 4 years. Lack of players = lack of options. Can't bench players who aren't putting forth effort is there is no one to replace them with. Not an alchemist/magician. Has not made his teams more than the sum of their products. Though he came closer to that this year. I have said many times I think the key to Wojo's success is his ability to grow beyond his Duke roots. To build on and adapt it to Marquette. He has yet to instill the fire that he played with to his players. I see flashes, but not consistency. But I still see the roadmap. I can still see the foundation he is laying. He is still a young man and can still learn and grow. I am still on board, but not 100% sold.
Buzz Williams last year avg 71Wojo Year 1 avg rating 112Wojo Year 2 avg rating 98Wojo Year 3 avg rating 37Wojo Year 4 avg rating 52I expect next year in the teens, 20's at worse. We lost a lot of experience and talent from last year, played a tougher schedule this season. Expected we would take a slight backward move, but future is bright and starts next season.
I see that. They just weren't muscular enough this year. Weight room.
What freshmen are?

Todd built our guards for nearly all of the BEast run -- including our 'football team' under Buzz. Curious what changed - something about the players builds coming in or a change in direction on what he is being asked to do.
Some bodies take more time to mature. You can chain someone to the weight room, make them eat 1,000g of protein a day and they wont necessarily look like Wolverine/Hulk after 6 months.
