Question:
If UW wins the NC this year, will Bo be back?
Option 1: Yes
votes: 101
Option 2: No
votes: 29
UW doesn't reload as fast as the Blue Bloods, and this is likely their last serious shot at a national championship for the foreseeable future. Does Bo go out on top?
They will still be very good next year, and with a national title Bo will get virtually any player he wants in Wisconsin. He is not going anywhere.
They've got a solid pipeline and will be tough again next year, especially if Dekker and Kaminsky stay. I would bet he stays.
What else is he going to do? Kind of pointless for the undead to retire.
I mean, they only lose Brust next year so they will continue to be strong. Add Nigel Hayes into the starting 5 and that's a solid team. Not sure who they are bringing in recruits wise though. I think Bo is 61 years old right now and comfortable with his legacy at UW. I believe he stays. Is anyone coaching an elite program on the hot seat/retiring?
He's 66.

The guy has been to 13 straight NCAAs and we're wondering how fast he'll re-load?

They lose Ben Brust. Thats it.
If they win the NC, they are preseason top 5 team, likely number 1... Plus the B1G should be down(ish) next year.
This assumes that Kaminsky and Dekker don't declare for the draft (They shouldn't).
IMO, Bo retires if those two declare for the draft and they win the NC. If they don't declare, Bo tries for the NC next year.
I don't see Bo retiring any time soon as long as he has solid assistants, since they do most of the grunt work. If Gard and some of his other assistants would leave, and Bo had to start from scratch with his staff, he might not be interested in doing a lot of that grunt work anymore.

Eh, Dekker is projected first rounder, and Kaminsky's stock is extremely high, and he might consider selling.
Nothing is guaranteed. Millions of dollars dangled in front of me at 20 years old and I would have probably thought long and hard about it.
They won't even come close to the national title. They will lose by 20 in their first game. Not enough athletes to compete.
Brent to UW
They are loaded for next year. He is coming back regardless

They rarely get blown out and Kentucky's youth will make them struggle against UW in my opinion. Anyone's game.
Good news for Bo, he doesn't have to worry about doubling Estill.

I think there are a few match-ups down low that might require a double by UW. Especially when Dekker is playing the 4. Question is, did Bo learn his lesson from last time? This could be very similar. I think you are right tho. Close game...

They may lose but that Arizona team they beat had some pretty good athletes.

Continuing the analogy to 2003 KY lost a key player to ankle injury.

Yup, and the ONLY guy that could beat the Badgers he let beat them by refusing to double him up. It was fun to watch.
Strange, he's a terrific coach but what mindblowing stupidity in that game.
Why is this the conversation? Let's just hope that they lose horribly on Saturday and it's so embarrassing they lose all their recruits for the next 2-5 years.

Theyre the exact opposite of Texas Western.
what about Frank Kaminsky? If he has 2 more really good games. Does he go? One can only hope ;D

Why would Dekker or Kaminsky go into one of the deepest NBA drafts, in recent memory? They are better served to stay another year to increase their draft stock. Both of those players are 2nd rounders, most likely, with the ability to crack the 1st round next year.

Sounds like the way we were describing this year's MU team last year, and look what happened.

Yeah, but we were great at it :P Make the other team shoot open threes all day.
I'd like to think he may go out on a high note, but definitely ain't no AL since he didn't declare his retirement before the Tourney started.

They don't have Sybil as their head coach.

I don't get all the Dekker love from scouts....I don't see one thing he does at an elite level right now? He's a good athlete - certainly not elite level - his perimeter shooting is solid, not spectacular. Feel he regressed a little this year.
Kaminsky on the other hand - He plays out of his mind Saturday and they make Championship game and does the same...he may give it serious thought....could potentially play himself into lottery consideration.

This is bordering on Mitch McGary talk from last year.
Kaminsky is not a lottery pick....no way, no how, not this year. He's not even a mock draft lottery pick NEXT year right now. He's a late first round pick at this point.
Lol at the thought of Bo leaving after this year. Dekker has already said he is staying next year (he'd be stupid to declare). Big Frank isn't a solid NBA player until he puts on 20 pounds of muscle, which he could do this offseason. Highly doubt he leaves. Wisconsin will, in all likelihood, be even better next year, and there's no way Bo passes up the opportunity to go to back to back Final Fours.

I think they beat Kentucky and come up just short in the title game. They come back next year hoping to win it all, on a mission, etc, are top 10 most of the year, and get upset in the Sweet 16 by a coach they all despise. It would be rather humorous.

Not saying Big Frank goes to the NBA this year. But NBA teams draft players based on potential. Do they think they can put 20lbs on big Frank and will that make the difference in their eyes.

Dekker could certainly benefit from another year in college, but if Kaminsky has another good game his stock likely won't get any higher, regardless of the strength of the draft. I don't think he will declare, but I think it wouldn't be a bad decision if he did.

I agree completely agree on Kaminsky. I think you're shortchanging Dekker though, at least from a pro prospect perspective.
You may be correct that Dekker doesn't do anything at an elite level right not, though I do think Dekker is closer to elite athlete level than you think he is. Either way, how he has performed this season has less impact on his future pro prospects than his potential, which is through the roof IMO. He could be come a very good all around player and a matchup problem in the NBA with some improved shooting and defense.

Dekker will have to work on his shot. He really sucked on it this year. Also Defense.
