Title: Mbao
Post by: Clam Crowder on March 08, 2010, 01:48:19 PM
I saw Mbao with a big suitcase this morning looking to go somewhere so I thought the team was leaving, but just saw Jimmy and Lazar. I wonder if Mbao isn't making the trip

He hasn't made one yet (well, since he's been hurt anyway).

Not a suitcase, that is his lunchbox.  Trying to bulk up for next year.

Classes run all week, so it's not like he can just take off if he's not going to New York.

I saw Mo Acker leave Humphry Hall at 9:45 this morning with a big suitcase and his Big East backpack on. My guess is that the players have to drop their stuff off at the Al between 1 time and another during the day, go to class, and then they leave from the Al at some point. Thy probably just drop their luggage off and someone takes care of it for them from there until they arrive at their hotel in NYC. So my guess is Mbao is making the trip to the BET with the team and was dropping off his luggage, just like Mo.

Did his suitcase have a picture of Dikembe Mutombo doing the finger wag?  (I know Mutombo is from the Congo and Mbao is from Senegal, it's just a joke)

I wonder how close he is to playing again. He was suppose to miss 4 to 6 weeks. It must be more than 4 weeks now.

Even though he was supposed to be out 4-6 weeks, he's done for the year.

Why are these guys carrying their own bags? Isn't help provided for this? I know for a fact that the Duke players have valet and concierge service for their various needs. Is it any wonder we miss out on Hamburger studs?

Tell you what.  Why don't you volunteer to be every player's b!tch and watch the "Hamburger studs" come flying to Marquette.  This is the dumbest post EVER...

Actually...I think he is correct. I am pretty sure each Duke player has his own manager that takes care of everything for him.

all im saying is that its not looking good for him based on his production earlier this year and his injuries.

 And Erik Williams contributions have been much higher. He is a freshman and I give players the benefit of the doubt in these situations, I'm sure he's working his butt off like anybody else on the team. An offseason of work does wonders.

So you're saying an incoming freshman big, that we knew was a project when we recruited him, that sprained his knee is out of Marquette for his career?  I doub't that unless you know something about his knee-sprain (and subsequent foot injury) that I don't know?

How quickly we forget how bad Cooby and Acker looked for much of last year.  I'll take Mbao for next year over any other raw big we could get coming in next year.

Solid first post. 

While the numbers weren't there this year for Mbao, the way he was able to maneuver around the court with a body he is still obviously growing into leaves me quietly optimistic in his future for the next 3 years.  MU is not a team that needs a "dominant" big.  Obviously I won't be complaining if we were to ever get one, but being able to simply have that height out there goes a long way in taking pressure off our back court. 

Guys like Mbao and Otule just need to mature into Ousmane types to have an impact with the way the team is currently built, and I don't see any reason (other than injuries keeping them out) why this can't happen.
