Kolek planning to go pro
I would love nothing more than to witness Sacar Unleashed this season. Today he had it all going -- in transition, driving the lane, outside shooting and mid-range jumpers.Wojo opened his player comments talking about the story of Markus deciding to come back after an All-American season because of "unfinished business" (which got a lot of applause). Then he went on to say Sacar's story is every bit as good.He talked about how Sacar made the difficult decision to sit out a year to work on his game (as opposed to sitting out as a transfer or due to injury). Wojo said Sacar attacked his redshirt year like no other player he's coached. When he came back, he had transformed himself into the team's best defender and an indispensable player on the court.It would be great to see him take the next step. Marquette's success in 2019-20 might just depend on it.
This is it exactly. I know we all love his athleticism, but I have a feeling that he’s going to be getting spot minutes again.
Jayce is a big boy. Makes Ed look like a PG.
I noticed that our size this year makes Markus look especially tiny.
1) Two bigs will be common.2) The Freshmen will contribute. 3) Jayce has a very nice traditional 5 game, both offensively and on D.4) Nice to see Greg out there and fully cleared although not yet in playing shape. 5) Two, count them, two top if the key jumpers by Ed.All good. Discuss what you observed.
Sam should have stayed and Joey should have left.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Wojo said in his opening remarks, Markus & Sacar were 2 of the best scorers in the country. That caught my attention, but it is possible I misheard what was being said.If he said that, and it happens to be true, what ppg can we expect from the 2 of them this season?Markus: 24ppgSacar: 16ppg ???
Wojo's commentsThe practice closed with extensive comments from the coach. I'm paraphrasing, but he covered a number of points:• This is an incredible group of guys, and has "the potential to be better than any team I've coached here." (Pretty sure i got that quote verbatim.)
Ummmm...we've gone a NIT and been blown out twice in the NCAA 1st round (2nd round / Round of 64 if you're using Tom Crean Math). God I hope this is his best team. It's Year 6. Some of us are close to dying (not looking at you Lenny!).
Lens - I watched (and somehow survived) the entire Murray St game. This old warrior will not go gently into that goodnight!
On different thread I noted that that Bailey would be the difference maker this season and have a change of heart.
