Has it been confirmed that Mbakwe is 100% sure he's transferring, or would the Williams hire potentially change his stance? I know family reasons have been cited, I just want to know if there is any chance he'll stay? He could be huge for us next year and I'd hate to see him go.
Nothing's been confirmed, so we'll have to see how it plays out.
If it is family concerns that make him transfer, that's understandable, and I wish him all the best. If possible, I'd love to see him in an MU uniform next year.
I read in either the Minneapolis or Saint Paul paper that he is considering the gophers, but that they will have to compete with Majerus and SLU for him. They did not mention anything about family problems in the story. I think it was one of the two sports gossip hacks they have here.

I need to study up on my geography. I always thought Milwaukee was closer to Minneapolis than St. Louis was. >:(
He had told the coaching staff he was leaving weeks ago. That was major reason why TC allowed him to play.
It was the St. Paul hack.
Look for the Gophers to meet next week about Trevor Mbakwe, the 6-8 former St. Bernard's and Henry Sibley basketball star who is expected to transfer from Marquette, where he was a freshman this season. Minnesota might have to compete with St. Louis, coached by Rick Majerus, for Mbakwe.

I don't know where you people get your info...but he's not going anywhere
I just posted where I got it and I followed it up by calling him a hack. Don't get mad at the messenger.

Where do you get your info? It has been reported that he either is transferring or strongly considering it, and that has not been rebuked by anyone at MU. I hope he stays, but how do you possibly know something that is contrary to all recent reports? Please indulge.
Mbakwe is transfering. For family reasons to the St. Paul area. It seems like it was in place with Crean long ago.
"-- It appears as though freshman forward Trevor Mbakwe is leaning toward transferring following the end of the semester due to family concerns in his hometown of St. Paul, Minn. Apparently this was a situation that has been in place, and coach Tom Crean's departure will have little if anything to do with it."

I love the way you guys jump to conclusions. "...it appears as though he is leaning toward transferring..." all of a sudden becomes "he is transferring."
Cracks me up.
remember how we were all concerned two months ago about how we were one over the scholarship limit? Now we may wind up three under.

The culprits jumping to conclusions.
Is this the same reporter who said TM wouldn't come to MU and would go to Minnesota, then said he wouldn't pass academically, would go JUCO and then would transfer to Minny? These guys wanted Trevor from day one so I'm not buying anything they say.
Same guy. He used to be a relief pitcher for the Twins. Now he is a gossip monger that people up here obviously love to read.
p.s. I am originally from Chicago and live here now.
Mbakwe's not transferring, I guarantee it.

Sorry. Personal credibility (a la "Trust me") is impossible to use as any sort of proof....unless you're Trevor, I suppose.
How do you know?
basically i know that he's not going anywhere because my friend knows him and he said he's not..so...please...indulge!

Yep, same for me. In fact, I heard Trevor doesn't even know where the transfer rumors started.
i really think he'd appreciate it if you all stopped talking about this too..the kid's not going anywhere so get otta his business. how would you feel if there were a ton of rumors up online about you?
Well I heard from his dog groomers gardener that he's leaving... ::)
I dont know, but if I had to decide, family first always. If there IS a family issue, I expect him to go. I hope not tho

Seriously, it would be great news if Trevor is staying. And you can tell him I told you so.

What do you think these forums are for? There was information that Trevor was "thinking" about transferring. MUScoop's whole point is to discuss that information, the source, it's credibility, and the situations surrounding it. That's what these websites are for. If you can't handle that, then don't read it.
I hear the reason Doc Rivers was there was because he's going to be named Buzz's top assistant.
if trevor is back, you guys just made my day! Great news... We need him more than TT or NW.
If Trebor is staying and if TT and NW can be converted back, then we've got the oversubscription of scholarship problem again...wouldn't that be nice? ;)
as ken the hawk harrelson says, He Gone! ... maybe
ha
but seriously hope he stays
i think NW is gone hopefully we salvaged TT and are all set for next year. Go get them Buzz
on the surface, this doesn't make sense-
pulls the redshirt late in this past season 'cause he wants to play...
THEN
transfer out to sit a year somewhere else.
PLUS
lose the starting job (presumably) at an upper tier BIG EAST school.
there must be something much deeper here that would promote him to head out-
closer to home? no schollies at Minnesota, right?
St. Loo ain't closer...
it's got me scratching my head....
Looks like some people on this thread have some explaining to do.
They said they knew TM personally, but I'm guessing they aren't close. I wouldn't think TM would be going around telling everyone on campus about his plans....so who knows.
i don't know where other ppl got their source, but come on people! i know trevor personally, trust me i do know him, and he's not going anywhere. he doesn't want to leave mu so i'd just like to clear that up. i know you all want to talk about rumors and all but remember these are just rumors and he's sticking around you WILL see him in an MU uni next year. mark my word!!!

Do these rumors come with free tuition? It's part of the deal, but if you were curious.
There are ton's of rumors about me online. Most can be found at HotChicksWhoLikeHugeSlongs.com.
I was told weeks ago he was leaving and that is why TC played him. TM did not want to basically sit out 2y in a row. Makes perfect sense to me because only a moron of a coach would allow a kid to waste a year of eligibility for a dozen games.
TC and the staff knew he was leaving. Very, very reliable source on this one. He is gone unless Buzz talks him out of it.
Rawdog - that was hilarious! So anyway, how hot are you?

Considering the Marquette beat reporter published the info last week that Mbakwe was thinking of transferring you can't get upset at message board dorks talking about the possibility.

I think you might be confused as to which grouping i was indicating i was in. (huge slongs, not hot chicks) But if you really want to know, I'd put myself in the high 6 - low 7 range. But I usually drop the pounds i put on over winter in the spring and can make a low 8 by august on a good hair day.

maybe on a scale of 1-100. :-*
I heard from a realtor that Trevor and the rest of the team just moved into a new home in the falls valued at 1.5 million. He must not be going anywhere.

I saw the footage on MTV...I think it's for the Real World XIV. Trevor was on the clip, moving into the new house with his team.
Trevor is leaving to start his own school and his own team. He is then going to get Chuck Norris to coach the team and recruit the hell out of american while still schooling the low lifes of texas. Word on the street, trust me, is that Trevor is going to build an arena, with his own two hands, that rivals the Mall of America.
After he takes his team to the national title, D-I of course, he is going to run for president, which he will win, and spearhead a project to build a colony on Mars, only so he can open another school and take that team to the intergalactic championship, beating a team that resembles the cast of Space Jam 3,745 to 12.5
That is why Trevor is leaving... I guarantee it.
