He is beast at taking free medical and physical therapy and tuition from MU valued well over at $100,000 then taking off like a bitch. He is also a beast at allegedly beating up chicks.
Crowder basically had the same stats, playing 10 less minutes.

Sorry, but I have to say . . . .
he would look good in an orange jumpsuit down at the House of Corrections. Didn't he sexually assault someone at a party down in Miami?
Look how many years it finally took him to play D1 ball? He is a headcase, best luck to him.
yeah he may be a headcase and all that but he can ball. Sucks at free throws but he is a pretty nice force for an already big and athletic gopher team.
Not impressed with this Crean recruit. Besides being probably 22 years old, to me he looked "rusty" or out of sync. Saw him jack up a 3 ball also. No thanks, stay North with Tubby.
I thought he was slow, nothing very special, would he have helped MU, yes. Did he become a
serious problem, yes, glad to see he is gone!
2007 called. It wants this post back. I'm pretty jazzed about the players we have NOW (Gardner, OTule, and Crowder) down low.
I miss Jeronne Maymon because MU would've had the best scoring offense in college basketball running through him. Plus. Maymon didn't bring any "extra baggage" along with him like Mbakwe did.
I hear Monterale Clark is averaging a quadruple double at his prison league. Sure would love to have him in a MU uniform

Clark is playing for Highland Community College in Freeport, Ill. Scored 12 points in their season opener.
Since this is the where are they now thread... Newbill had a nice debut for Southern Miss. Nine points and started for the win against USF.

Think how much better he would have played were it not for the sting of rejection that has wounded his heart.
I just want to hear how amazing Gasser is for UW, with his 7 point performance in 25 minutes vs. North Dakota! How DID MU miss this kid???? ::)
SORRY, I HAVE TO SAY IT......
Hey HawardsHeros,
Didn't you say that Royce White would never leave Minnesota???
Wasn't that JayBee and I thought the proclamation was that he would never play at Minn.

Jay Bee is in hiding....He'll reappear 1 week after Queens last flogging, or if the Queens beat the Packers this weekend. Whoops, another 15 yard flag for taunting....

He's a freshman....dangerous to rate any kid as a freshman for good or bad. My original question was based on locale, the fact he was a Milwaukee area kid who we didn't even send a letter to (alledgedly)...I was curious as to why. Several posters have responded, even a few without personal attacks.
He'll be a good player for Wisconsin. He may not have even seen the light of day at MU because of how we play. Who knows, but maybe we shouldn't get all chippy about how good or bad a kid is after one game or even a year or two. Plenty of MU players come to mind that were non-descript early on and had very good careers, some even making the pros...Amal, Crawford, etc.

Or not...at least for a bit
"The Cougars played without forwards Monterale Clark and Steven Durham in their two wins on Friday and Saturday because they were suspended, but both will be back to practice this week.
"We've had some issues on the floor and off the floor that I've dealt with and that's why we're at the number we're at right now," Highland coach Zac Roman said."

I don't know who alleges MU didn't even send him a letter but that's nonsense. Again, the reason that we didn't recruit him hard is that the program is at a point where beating out N Iowa for a guard prospect isn't reason to celebrate. Sure, a certain number of those kids turn out great, but I'm glad our competition for backcourt players is a little stiffer than the Horizon League. Wisconsin's interest was also tepid at best (would take him as a "preferred walk on) until the Taylor debacle and the Blue decommitment.

Not to be a nitpicker (well, maybe a little) but Northern Iowa is from the Missouri Valley and has a very respectable program. Just ask Bill Self.
Anyhow, they've made the tourney five of the last seven years.
They're a good program with good players.
Dont think I said he would never leave
Definitly said that with him they would be a legit final 4 team with the current players and roster

My mistake. And I'll also readily concede that they're a very good program.

I'm curious if you know he was recruited or are just saying it (i.e. letters sent, etc). I'm asking honestly.
Secondly, yes you can say N. Iowa but that seems a bit disingenuous as he was also offered by Arizona State, Maryland (NCAA 3 of last 4 years), etc. Not sure why you gravitated toward N. Iowa, who is a good team as well (Northern Iowa...NCAA last two years and 5 of the last 7 years).

It's been reported on this board that he took a few "unofficials" to Marquette. To me that's indicative of more than just a letter. I used N Iowa because that's where Mark Miller (who is the pre-eminent Wisconsin high school basketball authority on the board) said he was likely headed had a scholarship not opened up unexpectedly at UW.
Understood, and Mark is fantastic. But we shouldn't rule out the fact that some quality High Majors also wanted him to attend...programs that have recently participated in the NCAA tournament.

Gasser is a good player no doubt, saw him ply at Port numerous times his Senior year (wanted to see all the buzz about this kid). Not one person, even UW fans, can legitimately say that at the end of the year they would have wanted Gasser over Blue, if they do, they're liaing.
I'm just happy that more kids coming out of the Wisconsin High School basketball system are making impacts, last years senior class was quite good. I still believe Ben Mills (Colorado) will be a better college player than Evan Anderson, and TJ Bray will be a very nice player for Princeton as well as McWhorter at Indiana St.

Scott Christopherson scored 29 points tonight against Drake. Love him, hate him, whatever...he had a helluva line tonight
11 for 11 on the floor, including 5 for 5 from 3 point land and perfect from the free throw line.

Great performance from a... traditional guy.
Gotta confirm, but looks like Calvin Godfrey (frosh that was in MN for high school this past year, coming from Milwaukee) had 14 boards in 18 mins. There were questions about whether or not he could get academically eligible.. but he did... he's a man.. just a mean, physical specimen. Iowa State's ineligible players this year could be a great squad.. they've got a very good thing going on down there with the Mayor.
Yes, traditional guy. Spot up shooter, great from downtown, etc.

Agreed. Worked out well for Mr. C, he's getting a lot of playing time, doing quite well (proving he is a DI athlete despite what some said here) but didn't fit Buzz's system.

I thought your argument would be that he's proving to be a DI basketball player despite not being much of an athlete.
Aside from free throws.....Mbakwe is pure animal

That's what she said.
I mean, literally, that's what she said. Right after he fractured her cheekboke and ruptured her sinuses.
FWIW, relative to minutes played, Jae Crowder is every bit as, if not more, productive.
And less douchie.
