I think it would have been better for Marquette had Joey just chosen MSU and never came to Marquette. We might still have Sam.
This matches a lot of what I believed was the most believable storyline coming out of Hausergate, Joey always wanted to go to MSU, picked MU because of his brother, and that regret eventually caused tension that festered.
I wonder if Joey’s strong pull to MSU was part of the reason MU got him on campus a semester early. Burning his redshirt may have been a preemptive way of making Joey think twice about transferring if he had a change of heart.
Just a reminder of what was said when he committed Central Wisconsin Sports, who interviewed Hauser himself:“To be honest, I tried not to let my brother being there be a huge factor,” Hauser said. “Obviously it did a little bit, but just playing for coach Wojo, I think he’s going to get the best out of me and help me become what I want in life and playing in Marquette, ever since they started recruiting me, that’s just something I really wanted to do. I’ve known coach Wojo now since eighth grade. Seeing what he’s done with the program, turning it around… that’s something I want to be a part of. My brother bought into it, now I’m buying into it.”
Art Linkletter was right!
I’d bet 95% of Scoopers are clueless as to your reference.
They can always use the googles.
At least Lenny and Loose are older than dirt, so they got the reference. And the rest can contact Mr Google.
Would have been funnier if Lenny didn't feel the need to explain the joke.
With all the attention focused on high level college athletes, do they get PR tips/training from the schools they play for? I know a lot of these guys are used to interviews from their high school days, but some of the commentary around why they committed or why they're leaving sounds like it could be coming from a politician rather than a teenager. Do schools try to manage the messaging here, or are the kids just learning to be mature at a young age?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
You can't teach speed.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
I'd agree with this. But playing defense is less about pure speed and more about lateral movement and smart positioning -- both of which you can teach.Improving lateral movement involves strength training (for greater explosiveness and endurance in a defensive stance), exercises to increase flexibility and balance and tons and tons of agility drills. Better conditioning plays a role, as well -- this is an area Joey definitely needs to improve. Smart positioning comes with coaching and experience.I have no idea whether Joey will be able to eventually guard perimeter players. But it is possible to become a better defensive player through dedication and hard work.
