Title: Darrlyn Willis visit thread
Post by: WarriorPride68 on October 25, 2015, 09:05:44 AM
Any information from his weekend, not sure I have seen anything yet.


From earlier in week:

@WisBBYearbook: Marquette is hoping for more good news in recruiting when former Madison Memorial star Darryln Willis (6-8) takes an official this weekend.

Fingers crossed. Even if Henry stays, we are still thin at the 4. Willis would be a great get for next year. We have to keep that front court stout.

No word on whether or not Wojo got the ice cream truck that convinced Henry to commit.

Marquette's heavy artillery. Somewhat pales in comparison with chaperoned SEC campus visits.

If he wants to come home, then MU is right for him, but competing against ASU and other southern schools, hard to beat.  This one will be a challenge to pull off, particularly when he visits ASU.  But then again, who wants to be inside all the time at that school.

So either Arizona State (and Alabama and Mississippi State) has been completely inept over multiple coaches in not fully using their "weather advantage," or weather just isn't as important as you think it is.  I tend to think it's the latter.

Arizona didn't become a national power because suddenly 18 year olds found out it was warm.  They hired a great coach, poured resources into the program, and took advantage of a UCLA program in disarray to draw kids out of LA.

Agreed. 

Also, Willis went to HS in Madison and is now in Mississippi...so he already knows that Wisconsin is colder than other places.  If warmer weather was going to be a huge part of his decision, he probably wouldn't have bothered to visit MU in he first place.

Post by: jsglow on October 26, 2015, 12:35:35 PM
I'm of the opinion that weather is WAY down the list for most D1 basketball players.  Ability to have an impact, relationship with the coach, facilities, program success/exposure and proximity to home (if desired) all play a much bigger role.  Heck, they live inside the gym.

Hmmm.....Louisville in the same context of snatch and studs boggles the mind. Throw in a smidgeon of Porcini's and Pitino, and you have the scenario for a college frat party...or Animal House.

Excuse my ignorance, but why would the Marquette basketball team be in Denver next weekend?

Edit: Scrimmage with Stanford is in CO Springs.  Didn't catch the location until I just looked it up again.

I would be shocked if MU gets another early commitment for last year.    All 10 return, plus Hauser and Rowsey?     Where are the minutes?   If Henry leaves early, or makes it clear to the staff he intends to, I would expect a stretch 4 to be signed in the spring.   So for now, the world will continue to turn.

Sorry:
I like in no particular order: Al McGuire, Rick Majerus, MU basketball, the US of A; sports; responsible people, Wounded Warrior Project, Ted Cruz, the Packers, lower taxes, honesty, colors of the seasons, Robert DeNiro, Aretha Franklin, Meryl Streep, Bruce Springsteen, planning for the future, Wojo, old autos, new autos, military preparedness, Chesty Puller, JFK, Celine Dion, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Ray Charles, 57 Thunderbirds, corvettes, stealth bombers and so on and so on., and so on. There are many things and people I like, and some I dislike, just like the rest of you.

Your point if any is lost.

Sorry, but if anybody actually did have any doubt after Mazos used the cowboy reference while describing Bert and nobody flaunting it as if they did it mockingly, the fact that you just included "military preparedness" on a list of things you like completely locked that up. But keep going with the denial. It's almost as good as your post.

LOL.  Just to prove that it has been said
~~Rushmore Academy in a post on March 27
~~Lens in a post on Feb. 25
~~Brew City77 in a post on Feb. 25.."in general there is an air of invincibility.."
~~Pakuni on the same date to the same affect
~~Groin Pull on March 9
Sultan, you should know better than to say "no one said this" or " I never said that", etc.
But we all love your posts--not the hyperbole

Oh willie, it's so amusing when you not only take a quote of mine out of context, but misquote me at the same time. Let's look at the actual quote you are referencing:

Quote from: brewcity77 on February 25, 2015, 04:06:21 PM
It is a loss but there's nothing wrong with losing recruiting battles. Everyone loses recruiting battles and I'd argue most coaches lose more than they win. Honestly, a part of me wants Wojo to lose some of these to knock off the air of invincibility he seems to be building on the recruiting trail.

The entire thread is about losing recruiting battles and how Wojo is certain to lose some. When you take my full post (and don't misquote it) it's evident I am pointing out that he will lose, most likely more than he wins. In addition, earlier in that same thread, I pointed out that he missed out on Jimmy Whitt.

Quote from: brewcity77 on February 25, 2015, 03:15:44 PM
Agreed. He took a visit here and there is a definite need and available PT. In general, Wojo has won once he's offered. It seems like he's been selective in his offers, which has helped his proverbial batting average. He also missed out on Jimmy Whitt, who committed to Arkansas before his scheduled visit to Marquette.

And the first phrase there, "Agreed", was me agreeing that he lost out on Louisville transfer Akoy Agau, who ended up at Georgetown (and is now out for the season).

If you want to keep misquoting me in the future, taking my quotes out of context to make them say something other than what I intended, and pick and choose things that don't say what you want them to say, feel free, because it makes it that much easier for me to expose your foolishness. And speaking of which...

Quote from: RushmoreAcademy on March 27, 2015, 03:51:33 PM
This.

I assume this must be the RushmoreAcademy post you are talking about. He was actually quoting a JakeBarnes quote, and if you couldn't sense the sarcasm, well, you must believe sarcasm simply does not exist without teal.

Quote from: The Lens on February 25, 2015, 02:24:10 PM
With Sacar Anim in the fold, it seems (I am only a casual recruiting guy) that Wojo to this point has always gotten his man.  Am I correct on this?  Any big losses? 

Traci Carter seems to be a good test for the Wojo batting average, unless I am missing someone.

Lens admitted to only following recruiting casually and was asking if Wojo had any misses. Not indicating he never missed, asking if he missed. In that thread, both Agau and Whitt were referenced as misses, and later TAMU Eagle pointed out that we missed out on Bryant Crawford, Levan Alston, Dwayne Bacon, Brevin Pritzl, Kerwin Roach, Matt McQuaid, Aaron Falzon, and Josh Sharma.

Quote from: Pakuni on February 25, 2015, 04:12:04 PM
I hope he wins every recruiting battle and solidifies an air of invincibility on the trail.

Pakuni is acknowledging that he isn't winning every battle and that he wishes he would, not that Wojo is invincible as your post falsely indicates.

Quote from: Groin_pull on March 09, 2015, 07:19:23 PM
Looking good for MU. Fresh off his visit.

Not sure if this is the Groin_pull post you are referencing, because at no point does he say anything close to what you are saying on March 9. This is the closest. And if "Looking good for MU" means Wojo never loses in the recruiting game, you have a very loose definition of the term.

Oh, and since we established that you feel sarcasm doesn't exist without teal, in the thread you primarily referenced above (started by TheLens) there was actually only ONE person that truly said Wojo never misses. Who was that? Oh yeah...

Hmmmm........It is all in the spin. Wojo always gets his man!!

I haven't misquoted you Sultan, but you do misquote yourself. Like the time you said Otule was better than Gardner and then denied it. I know, I know, you were for Otule and against Gardner until you reversed yourself.

Sorry Pal. Jane Fonda is a Communist traitor. I was in Nam while she was posing with NVA anti-aircraft personnel who were trying to shoot down our fliers. She would be on the dislike list.

Reading is fundamental. We all know what was said at the time. I mocked that statement and now you try to attribute the statement to me. Doesn't wash, but thanks for wasting the time to try.

Oh little wee willie, it's so funny how you try to assert other people said things, then the only evidence you can provide is misquoting them. You're right, reading IS fundamental, and you are fundamentally bad at it.
