I know it's Bleacher Report, but I thought his analysis was worth mentioning. I know we're all hoping that HE decides to stay in school and at least finish half of his degree.
Mock drafts have Henry Ellenson high up on the list for 2016, but those projections assume he'll make a swift recovery from the broken hand he suffered in March in his final high school game and that no other injuries will pop up that could slow his progress. But what really could indicate whether Ellenson heads to the NBA after one season is how he develops in college.
He's gone off the beaten path of sorts by signing with Marquette, which was a Big East doormat this past season. Coach Steve Wojciechowski convinced the in-state product not to sign with more established Wisconsin, which is a huge step forward for the program as it looks to get back to a loftier perch.
Ellenson's arrival should help that cause, but it probably won't be a one-year turnaround. This had to factor somewhat in his decision to play there, so look for Ellenson to lean toward staying in school unless his stock rises further during his freshman year.

Awful commentary. Belcher report blows
Didn't realize the Vadgers were HE's other choice. ::) Could have sworn it was down to MU, MSU, and UK.
God, Bleacher Report is awful. Just sloppy click bait.

Of course, it's hard to find this kind of valuable insight on other sports sites. ::)
Just 3 years ago we were in the elite 8 and Wisconsin was bounced by ole miss. They make it seem like Wisconsin is almighty and we are Carroll college.
Will this be a thread mostly about taking a dump on Bleacher Report, or will it be about Henry being a one-and-done...? I can change the title to something more fitting.
I agree, Hank here for two years

You gotta change it to something that'll draw the most clicks! Ask Heisenberg for ideas
Every new thread should contain a poll at the start for posters to vote whether or not they think that the thread title was dramatic enough to get Heisenberg to click on it.

We are taking a dump on what was written because it has inaccuracies and simply dumb commentary.
I mean, it didn't even mention one of the primary reasons he chose MU - his brother transferred.
I would prefer adding a column to the top page, changing the Subject column to "Title" and naming the new column "Subject". The difference being the new subject column would be continuously updated to reflect what each thread is now actually talking about. That way I don't have to keeping remembering that the thread that started out talking about a tip that a great new recruit is considering MU is actually talking about who hates old people more, Tom Crean or Buzz Williams.

C'mon Sultan--yes, that had something to do with it, and also Wojo---but everybody knows the main reason was because the phony downhome lonesome cowboy transferred.

You need to get some new talking points.

Considering we've had 6+ years of Crean bashing, I fully expect that this is only year two of a long and storied history of willie trying to work the words "phony" and "lonesome" and "downhome" and "goober" and "cowboy" and "hillbilly" into every post he makes.

I wonder what he likes on his Mazo's burger...
