He's in the red shirt.

Brilliant move. Really smart.
I love that we have heard that he was one of, if not the, hardest working guys in the weight room over the offseason but still knows he has a ways to go and, seemingly, loves Marquette and understands where he is at as a player. It can't be easy for kids who are stars in high school to not be a star at the next level. Good for Sacar, good for Marquette.
Sorta a strange move. They must really be adopting the small ball idea - figured he'd see decent number of minutes at the 4, but if Wojo felt he was hardly going to see the floor , it's a good move.

Hope you weren't being sarcastic.
I think it's a great move. Sacar is only 3 months older than Sam Hauser and will now be in his natural class balancing out the roster. Love it.

Plus Tax
Really going to be a very good player.
Takes me back to when he played John Dawson for only 5 minutes. Wojo is learning, save the players eligibility if you see no use for him currently.
Like the decision. I've heard good things about Sacar and think he can develop into a fine player. He was likely the 11th or 12th man this season, but could be a valuable role player next year.
Who was our last non-injury, non-transfer red shirt?

No no, I really think it's a great move. This will be great next year for sacar.
Sorry if it came off sarcastic.
Great move.
He may have been helpful playing the 4 but realistically I don't think he was gonna get minutes.
Seems the plan will be to just play shooters at the 4 so Sandy and Sam will snag any minutes that are available.
What I really like about this is I feel that the minutes Sacar will be trying to snag would come from guys like Reinhardt, Johnson, Sandy, and Duane. This gives Anim an extra year to develop, and by the time he's expected to contribute (junior year), those players will have graduated.

I was going to say something similar. If he is patient, minutes will open up for him next year. Hey we all knew he was a project coming in.
Sacar is a committed team guy. Given the 4 years out of 5 rule this basically demonstrated his commitment to the program as any transfer out prior to him graduating is now pretty much off the table. I'll look forward to his contribution as a RS Sophomore next year.
There is a backlog of players with similar size and skillsets to be plugged in at the 3/4. If he takes a year off and improves, a year from now there will no longer be a JjJ and KR in front of him. As long as he is on board with it, this is a great move.

He could still graduate transfer.

He is definitely on board.....good stuff from Matt

Exactly what I said.

Amil McGaskil (sp) redshirted after his sophomore year. I cannot think of one that came after, but there may of been.

Didn't John Polonowski red shirt
Mortenson. Hopefully, Sacar uses his time more productively.

And in the long run (he spent a few good years in the NBA) it worked out well for him. :)

There might not be JJJ or KR, but Cain will take one of the places, not sure yet if Anim will be good enough, year off will help. For him, the extra year is blessing if he
takes advantage of his schooling, and graduates with a good major.

I'm not willing to state yet that Cain will be better than Anim next year. Wait and see.

We may not be, but looking at the team this year, they have no height. At least Cain is 6'7" and I still believe Wojo will be after another big in spring. Thay way
it would be possible to play Cain and Hauser at the 3. Both taller than 6'5"
A two inch difference at a wing position doesn't mean much to me.

I would agree, but different body types, in the highlights, it shows that Cain will be one of the most athletic players MU will have next year. Not sure Anim is the next
coming of Elgin Baylor or Adrian Dantley.
This is an excellent outcome for Sacar. He is a quality young man. This will give him a year to work on his game and move himself forward in school as well. His tremendous work ethic is being rewarded.
This is also a good outcome for the team. We only had two guys in the freshman class this year and this decision balances the class out a bit. We are going to really need Sacar next year and into the future. The depth we have this year is a luxury that enables us to make an investment like this.
Sacar is going to be very very good when this is all over.

How accurate are high school heights? They often seem to me to be overstated. Of course you also get that in college basketball. We really do not know how tall a player actually is until he is measured in the NBA draft combine. I know Hauser has grown this summer, but when I saw him standing next to Cohen at a stopage in play he was signifcantly taller and stronger than Cohen. On MU's roster Cohen is listed as 6'6" 200 and Hasuer is listed as 6'7" 225. I think Hauser is at least two inches taller than Cohen.
Regardless of how it ends up...And if all reports are true I think it will end up very good for both Sacar and MU...this is a huge TEAM move by a player who could be getting minutes at alot of programs. Props to Sacar and props to Wojo for keeping it real with him and letting him make a good decision for himself.
If I remember correctly Jamine "Greedy" Peterson red-shirted at Providence. He was not ready for the college game. Post red-shirt he was VERY ready offensively (Those PC teams did not play defense) and ended up being a good player.
Butch red shirted for UW. That turned out pretty good for them and he was highly touted.

Before he was expelled as the fall guy for a Providence team using a girl (who wanted to be an adult actress) to help with recruiting similar to the way louisville did.
