Woodson won't be able to recruit.

Him and his staff have done an impressive job since taking over. I'd be very enthused if I were a Hoosier fan.

Getting Matta and Fife involved pretty much blunted the concerns I had about Woodson recruiting.

You mean Thad Matta and his top assistant Woodson are doing a good job.
Damn.

Yea, they seemed to have a pretty good plan. I have to imagine the NBA pedigree attracted Bates.
Would've been a great get. But Shaka has a lot of young guards coming in.
I think Shaka knew where Bates was leaning and took the guards he could get.
Wasn't Bates main recruiter KT Turner? Felt our chances were limited once it was determined he was not coming along with.
Next man up.
Bates' loss, not our's. Good luck to him.

Had a squadron mate whose last name is Bates. His Call Sign is Master
Bit of a bummer. That said, we have a roster crunch at the moment. Hopefully we will find some clarity soon.

You could've left the second sentence out of your post and literally every single person on Scoop would've known you were thinking about masturbating.
I think Shaka cooled on him
Maybe he heard about the $70 million IU currently has lying around

How the hell did Shaka miss on this one to Indiana? Guess the old refrain "its Indiana, its Indiana" again haunts MU

I have a friend who is in the USAF and last name is Bader. His friends can't wait.
Ugh I should have mentioned him by his first name on here first. That said his loss. More Players out there and we have plenty of players already let's roll.
Very disappointing. I definitely had him included in my high hopes for next season.

The guards he could get weren't even in the talent ballpark of Bates

"He could get"...you realize he locked up Bates in the first place? But that doesn't fit the narrative. You and Bilsu can go whine together elsewhere
Could it be that we already had a Bates in DJ Carton and that Bates knew it.
Yeah, it would be nice to have five burger boys but let's begin with getting 12 members of a Marquette basketball team working and playing together. Getting players who complement each other is something Wojo couldn't or wouldn't do.
Again, good luck to Mr. Bates. We will see you down the road when we inflict an NCAA loss on Indiana.
Judging by Bates' decision, it seems he wanted to be at a bigger school.

To the surprise of no one, you bounce back in a Tamar Bates thread trashing Shaka for not getting a guy a second time around. Must be exhausting.
We'll be fine.
Bates won't be starting for MU next year, then I guess.

No, but he could start for MU in 2022 after his transfers from IU. Smart of Smart to stash him there for a year to prepare for greatness at MU.

Bates will be better than Carson.
Only thing Carson does better is leaping ability.
And Bates can actually dribble the basketball competently.

I'm great if Carton is our best player, but he'll have to improve significantly over last year to get there. He certainly has the athletic ability.

Wojo's gone and he's not coming back, Chico. This is the way things are now. If you don't like it, root for another team.

If Dawson returns, he's probably far and away our best - based on last years numbers. Carton 2nd. Lewis could challenge if healthy. O-Max doesn't look that close. I doubt any of the frosh are good enough to challenge, but that's a wildcard. I also doubt Elliott makes that jump, but hey, there's a chance.

If he is a flier or crew chief his rank, call sign, then last name will be emblazoned on the side of an aircraft. I can't help but think that his mother will weep when she sees 1Lt Master Bader stenciled on the side of her son's F 22.
A mother's pride is a powerful thing.
