Oso planning to go pro
Because we won't have 3 additional travels a game? I liked Morrow but let's not pretend he was exactly a positive in most games this year. Liked him a lot more last year.
In rhythm. No one close. Good shot.
Hit: Carlino, Rowsey, ReinhardtMiss: Froling, ChartouneyAsterisk: Wally (didn't play well but got us Henry)TBD: McEwen, JohnsonNot sure where I would put Ed. He's pretty much the same player he was at Nebraska. He just never really improved.
Agree. When a high major kid gets benched for essentially shooting a free throw, it speaks volumes. Said it before and I'll say it again - if you aren't one of Wojo's chosen few guys, he'd be a hard guy to play for. Before those of you who are his strongest backers go off the ledge - You support Wojo suggesting he has room to grow as a coach - I agree. An area where he needs to improve is to be more consistent in his approach to roles, playing time, and rotation. He is far too emotionally reactive (benching) to "mistakes" his 4-11 players make, and this results in players playing tight, with an eroded confidence, which only exacerbates the problem.Unfortunately, I don't think he's even aware of this.
I'm perfectly fine with Wojo not being okay with Ed (or Theo or Jayce) taking 15-20 foot jumpers, even if they're wide open. They're wide open for a reason, and we saw the reason with the result of the shot. I'd expect Wojo to treat his "chosen guy" Theo the same way if Theo felt the itch to shoot the same type of shot.
Most of ur posts are so dumb that i simply read and shake my head.
If Ed is really done, I wish him nothing but the best. Agree. He worked hard to get through his medical issues but it didn't work out to seashells and balloons. Here's hoping that that work ethic will help him in future endeavors.
To all you terrible people trashing the guy without knowing what is going on ....I like Ed and think our team is better with him. I hope whatever the issue keeping from the team is not serious and he returns soon.
Ed's shooting ability is better than Theo/Jayce. Reports coming from practice said they had Ed practicing 3-point shots. Ed thought he'd be a face up 4 when he transferred into Marquette. So a guy misses a wide open 15' shot? Big F'in deal. Markus Howard can miss countless 25' step back threes before even passing the ball to a teammate without getting benched. Ed and the other guys put in the same hard work, long hours, and commitment that the chosen ones do. You don't yank a guy for missing that shot. Bardo said it well last night - that all guys need to see the ball go through the hoop/be involved offensively - it helps them play better in all phases.
What the hell does the guy expect? Hes a barely 6 foot 7 center. Cant shoot at all. Cant dribble. Slow. Not a great defender. Makes bad decisions. Did I mention very short and unathletic for his position. You just cant expect that much in reality. None of our bigs are that good but they are 6.9 and 7.0 tall. Idk what else to say. Play better
Ed Morrow played after he missed the jumper. He missed it at the 4:22 mark of the first half and was out at the under 4 timeout.He played in the second half. He came in at 13:48 and played to 10:53 (the under 12 timeout)There really isn't evidence that he was pulled because of the jumper. And he played afterwards so I don't know what to say. I think what is undeniable is that he fell to third in post minutes. He's never really evolved into the 4 that people thought he would.
Wishing Ed well. Not sure if he ever got enough minutes to show what he is as a player or not. I think Wojo gave the nod to Theo earlier on and he had an uphill battle. Not a rip on Wojo, many coaches latch up to certain guys for a wide range of reasons. That said, I would have latched onto Ed from day one.

MU82My comment on Johnson being the best of the bunch was based off of conversations I had with several people I respect a great deal that watched him at practice. That was not firsthand knowledge on my part. That said, while he is extremely limited, IMO, he is a very good rebounder, especially on the offensive side of the court.As for Ed, I saw zero in Theo going into last season and felt Ed was a more rounded basketball player. I put a great emphasis on guys that appear to be basketball players first, not just athletic. Would say that I was I never jumped on the Cain bandwagon. He is a great athlete, but not a high level basketball player. IMO, Ed gets the the game and is a far smarter player than Theo. I think one of the biggest things lacking in this years team is a lack of high IQ basketball guys. The Hausers were high level in that regard and it is missed a great deal.Quick follow up to that, I think Bailey knows the game, Koby and Symir as well, which is a positive moving forward. No one likes athletic players more than me, but they need to be athletic basketball players.
So you want Markus and Ed to be held to the same standard in terms of shot selection?Good to know where you stand. It explains a lot.
I want a TEAM* that can rely on more than out of this world type of shooting performances in order to win. Chemistry matters. And no, I don't think Ed should be shooting step back 25' threes.
He was a contributor whether he lived up to expectations or not. That can’t be disputed.
