Title: If destination is UW
Post by: Aircraftcarrier on April 17, 2019, 01:22:30 PM
There will be some pissed off Badgers on roster.When the Hausers are eligible Ford will be a SR.He will never see the floor.Wahl and Currie also.They will be Soph and will see no PT.Those three should leave if the Hausers go to UW.

I also wonder Kobe King and Micah Potter will feel.  Projected starters 2 years from now to suddenly projected backups if the Hausers transfer to Wisconsin.

That will be true wherever they go, unless it is a step down outside the P6.  Either that or the Hausers will be pissed off.  It is interesting to me since they are a package deal that the team taking them has to give 5 years of scholarships/roster space for three years a playing.  For a coach the nice thing about getting a transfer (especially a senior transfer) is that they have to do what you say because they can't really leave.

to play devils advocate…

King 4.5 ppg, 2.0 reb, 0.5 ast. eFG% 51.5, 3P% 31.4, FT% 68.8. 44 games
Potter 4.1 ppg, 2.8 reb, 0.3 ast. eFG% 52.1, 3P% 32.4, FT% 69.2. 59 games
Ford 4.5 ppg, 2.3 reb, 0.3 ast eFG% 51.0, 3P% 35.8, FT% 83.8. 64 games

Joey 9.7 ppg, 5.3 reb, 2.4 ast. eFG% 54.2, 3P% 42.2, FT% 79.1. 34 games
Sam 12.7 ppg, 6.0 reb, 2.2 ast. eFG% 60.9, 3P% 44.5, FT% 87.6. 101 games

We are getting ahead of ourselves that they will end up at Wisconsin. But if they do, it’s not like the aforementioned players are world beaters. Or even starter worthy FWIW

Did I say anything about scouts. They have their own schedule. They are going to follow the top players. I doubt they went to Madison last year to watch Happ and I doubt they will go to Uw to see the Hausers. They may of been there, because of who UW was playing. Look at it his way (not that it matters, but shows what I am thinking). Cohen was probably never seen by a scout or an NBA coach once he left MU. I suspect he would be been seen by an NBA coach who was in town to play the Bucks and decided to go to an MU game. Non elite players have a greater chance to be seen playing at MU than they do at many other schools.

I can guaranty you that scouts went to Madison to see Ethan Happ and likely went to Green Bay to see Sandy Cohen play.

Exactly. 2 words: Ja Morant (sorry Joey, stop trembling).

A friend used to be a NBA scout. He and his coworkers hit up anywhere they thought a legit prospect may be playing. His “favorite” trip was Pocatello, ID, to see Sebastian Telfair’s brother. Pocatello in January is beautiful, I hear.

Anyone who thinks the Hausers transferring to UW won’t make this situation even worse is wrong, IMO.  Wojo will get a ton of heat from the MU fan base if it happens, and that will go beyond just the people who read message boards.  Should the Hausers end up Badgers, Wojo will not be around to coach the game at FF in 2020.  He probably won’t be even if they go to UVA.  Best case scenario for him is he rides Markus for all he’s worth in the hope that that’s enough to get MU in the tournament and possibly win a game, and then take an Arkansas or Oregon State level job if one opens up.

I do not think he will be remembered fondly here when his time comes to an end.

Come on man. Idk if he'll be around or not but we aren't firing him if he gets us another tournament birth. And if he does leave that's 3/6 NCAA births and two other 20 win seasons. Not a world beating record but certainly worthy of beating out O'Neil and Deane in the history books.

The Badgers roster balance would be awful.The year the Hausers are eligible they would have 7 seniors. Gard has to take them but it really creates problems with the roster.Michigan State does not need them

I have a feeling they're going to join the F%cky crew, and I now have decided I hope they do.

It will be far easier to hate them that way. They will officially be the enemy, and should be considered no less evil than Nutgrabber McDouchenozzle.

They will be truly worthy of our hate. And if they are true competitors, they wouldn't want it any other way.

This sounds likely if they’re suddenly focused on f*cky. No chance this was their hope when they announced their transfer

It seems their value is MUCH less as a package deal than what they expected. They’d have many more possible suitors if they went to separate schools. Maybe they’ll re-evaluate and split up as Joey has a lot of college ball to play and could easily get in a better situation than playing for Gard the rest of his career. 

Also, I think it’s hilarious that Sam’s girlfriend would have any influence on where they go. What happens when he leaves in a year and Joey has 2 more seasons there? (He’ll get a year back I feel) The priority should be finding the best fit for Joey. Not convinced it’s at Wisconsin.

well, yes, but before, the hausers were very likable, wholesome wisconsin people.  shunning MU for the enemy removes the likable, wholesome part. 

it also reveals that wojo ain't ready for prime time and we found that out not just by floundering away a pretty decent looking season, but then losing 40% of our scoring and minutes right after we were seeing very decent projections for next season

what happens if wisconsin, for some weird reason, gets or develops a "markus howard" type player?  what will lavar hauser have to say then?  just wait until either side will be able to comment.  i can just hear the canned, seminar speak now

While Marquette is not perfect, I gotta believe they treated the Hauser boys like royalty. 
More I think about it, the more I gotta believe Wojo had very few options at the guard positions last year. 
Different story this year.
I wonder, while they were thinking about it, if they pulled the trigger just a little to fast to transfer.
The disappointment of the ending of last season was still too fresh in their minds.
A knee jerk reaction instead of seeing how good they really had it at MU and how good next season could be.

If they end up at UVA it will really say something.  UVA's recruiting should be at an all time high with 3 guys going to the league and a national championship.  I dont think TB would be interested in having two guys sit on the bench for a year if they were anything less than high quality players and people.  I like UVA and the Hauser boys...wouldnt mind seeing them do well there.  Would much prefer it to Bucky.

Spread the word. 82 has the Quitter Brothers amongst some of the most hated rivals in program history. Wonder why we were not hating Cheatham, Cohen or some of the other early exits. My guess is, the others could not play a lick and we could wish them luck. This is big time to be giving a nickname and hating them before their destination is known. I am officially in line and awaiting further instructions.

I appreciate what Sam did during his three seasons at Marquette. Whoever gets him will be getting a fine college basketball player for a season. But he and L'il Quitter quit Marquette. They are history. Yesterday's news.

And yes, I now have fan "hate" for them, just as I did this past season for other Marquette opponents. I think that's pretty normal. You're free to disagree.

I've actually never had a glass of bourbon. I've had a couple of sips, maybe one shot, and decided it wasn't for me. I'm just a regular ol' beer guy ... though these days I do like many types of craft beer rather than the kind of crud I swilled in college.

I guess I misinterpreted your playfulness. You accuse a coach of not working hard based on some third party's guess; I say a couple players quit based on the fact that, um, they quit.

Hey Goose, I don't want to get into a pi$$ing match with you.

All I know is that one post you said you didn't know if Wojo was a hard worker or not. Then, in another post you said somebody told you that the assistants did most of the work so you assumed Wojo didn't work hard. Then you wrongly said that I felt it was OK to criticize players but that the coach was "off limits."

At least that's how I remember it. I don't think I'm remembering it wrong, but if I am misremembering it, I apologize.

As for third-party information ... I don't have sources inside MU at all, nor do I claim to. I have never met Wojo nor any of the players nor any of the players' families, and I don't personally know anybody who talks regularly to the players or their families. What I know is what I read here on Scoop. So here again, you are stating something that is false, and that surprises me because it's unlike you.

They quit. It doesn't mean they didn't have good reason but the fact is they quit that job. No different than the Hausers. I'm sure feel they had good reason to leave, I'm sure it's better for them to showcase their skills, but the fact is they quit the team.

I haven't, and won't, call them quitters, but I'm also tired of the narrative pushed by some here giving the Hausers some sort of altruistic motives for their decision, or worse yet, portraying it as it being about "winning." It's neither. They're leaving because they think they'll have a better chance of showcasing their skills at a place without a (likely) preseason all-American being the focal point of the offense.
That doesn't make them bad kids or anything like that. It doesn't make them martyrs either.

See I'll gladly call them quitters. If I left Marquette because an Ivy League school accepted me into their program  I'd have been quitting on Marquette. No shame in doing that, I'd be leaving to improve my chances later in life.

Absurd. If so they were never MU fans in the first place. The height of absurdity.

No, it actually isn’t.  I can find you examples on this very board where fans in the past have said they hope we lose if it means X will get fired.  Nope, not absurd in the least.  Sad, yes.  Absurd, no....unfortunately. 

I was with a bunch of MU students in Colorado this past week, some of them quite close to the team members.  The topic came up about BBall and what’s going on.  One provided an example of the awkwardness currently going on when a current member of the team ( not MH ) said hello to one of the two departing players on Wells and there was no response.  Player again said hello as he was a little puzzled by the non response, and the departing player looked up and did the “hey” but not really, and kept on going.  As described to me, it was very awkward and unfortunate as the remaining player shook his head and went on his way. It was seen by several of the students.  I think those staying and going are in a tough spot and no doubt awkward.  I’m sure they mostly get along, but since everyone is together for the next few weeks until finals are over, this is the situation and awkward for many of the team.

The idea of them playing in Virginia or MSU’s defensive scheme makes me chuckle.  I like them both, but just don’t see it.  Charade.  Becky bound and can’t wait to beat them.

An objective opinion can be.  The consensus objective opinion among my friends, peers, coworkers who care enough about college basketball is that the Hausers left because they weren't getting the touches they wanted.  Which, to the observer with no skin in the game, is not something to be proud of.

But hey, anything that might pose as something not 1000000000000% Wojo’s fault is going to be met with skepticism by you and a few others.

Ok, 99.9% Wojo’s fault. If a large portion of my staff is disengaged due to my lack of leadership to the extent that many consider leaving and two of my most valued members do, that’s a me problem.

Glad to see the rest of the guys sticking around.  I wish the best for the Hausers, I enjoyed them very much.  I wish even more success for the guys that want to be here.

I see Mutaman, who is on ignore, couldn’t get the quote right which entirely non surprising.  End of the day, what was told to me by the students and parents is how awkward it was because it happened right in front of them.  Not blaming anyone, not smearing anyone, it is just unfortunate and awkward for those involved.  Teammates no more.  Sucks for all, but I’m going to ride the horses that say Marquette on the front of the jersey...How about you Nickle?  Are you going to be one of those guys we had during the Crean era that screamed Crean sucks at the senior day event, while also hoping the team wins? 

A fan base remains divided.  Sad.  Everyone just wants to win, but if you don’t win enough, or don’t win the right way, or have the right guys from the right geo location, etc, etc...it’s always something.  I’m just as guilty.

I enjoyed staying away from here last week immensely.  Probably a good idea to stay away some more...this place can be rotten for the soul.  Next thing you know one of our players will be called a cancer when the kid is a model player and citizen....maybe an apology will come...I know I did when I said our players choked one time.  I don’t ever recall something as repugnant as a kid being called a cancer, but this place can surprise with the best.

Nah I’ll cheer for Wojo because it’s good for MU. But I’ll stand by the prediction I made after we were unceremoniously knocked out of the tourney; next season will be Wojo’s last. Agreed on the cancer piece; some of the name calling of young adults has been pathetic

Could be. But I've been part of a team before where 1 employee was convinced they knew better than our department head. She was very vocal in her assertions and also very popular with the team. After work when groups of us would go out for happy hour she would lead gossip circles about the department that would get straight up nasty. Most joined in the ripping of our department head while others didn't join in but also didn't do anything to stop it, sometimes agreeing so we could continue to fit in. For awhile, life on that team was miserable, everyone gossiping, complaining, questioning even when the department head was doing what she thought was right. All of us were considering a "transfer" at the time, some did. Eventually the 1 employee moved on to another position. All of the sudden the team functioned much better than before as the team bought into the Department Head's vision. We had our best year after that.

Not saying that's what happened in this situation but never underestimate the power a few disgruntled people can do to a whole team.

He's a good player, but scoring in today's game (only 12.7 career average too after starting all three years) doesn't vault one above many who came before him.  There are many we remember fondly, but not as "great." Other than all conference second team and nominations for some awards, Hauser, he hasn't really stood out. 

Good? Sure. Remembered fondly? Probably (many are). All-time great? Hardly.  I could name 20 off the top of my head in my 25 years as a MU fan I would put above Hauser right now.

90': Tony Smith, Mac, Key, Miller, Crawford, Amal, Hutch, Wardle
2000's: Wade, Diener, Novak, Wes, DJ, Jerel, Lazar, DJO, Crowder, Butler, Markus.

So Sam comes out at 20 (I put him just barely ahead of Cordell, even though Cordell was the second leading scorer on the 2001-02 NCAA tourney team.

This is not a rank in order, but rather chronological, though obviously, it starts with Wade. I'd put Marcus in the 5-7 range.

Tony Smith last played for MU in 1990 so he falls outside the 25 year range.  If you really want to get hyper-technical, so do Key and Mac.  And I don't have players like Amal and Chris Crawford up there with Sam.  I think Sam better than both.

Key and Mac finished in 1994, that's 25 years.  Tony, ok. I hear you there.

The thing with players like Crawford and Amal is that their stats were depressed because of the systems they played in. Both led us to NCAA wins, were on conference title teams and were drafted and played in the NBA. I think Crawford could have averaged nearly 20 a game playing for an MU coach other than Deane.

There is a lot of talking points involved in rating players. To me, aside from Wade, is the size of the body of work. There are a number of guys on there that had one or two exceptional years, but not four year career. With just a quick look at the list, the four names noted by Fluff come to mind, but would definitely say Amal and Crawford, by a wide margin. Again, we are talking MU career, not post MU career.

With just a quick look at the list, the four names noted by Fluff come to mind, but would definitely say Amal and Crawford, by a wide margin. Again, we are talking MU career, not post MU career.

Yes - I was talking about the guys on Fluffy's 13 person list. Also, I would currently classify Sam as one of those players who had one or two exceptional years. Wouldn't you?

To be fair Sam will not have had a four year career either. That at least throws Butler and DJO in the mix

Marquette transfers Sam and Joey Hauser confirm to me they will visit Wisconsin on April 26, Michigan State on May 3 and Virginia on May 17. Also intend to set up visit to Iowa. Will obviously be a huge addition for anyone.

“Visiting” this weekend means coming for Mifflin, which Sam was at last year anyway.

Tony Smith last played for MU in 1990 so he falls outside the 25 year range.  If you really want to get hyper-technical, so do Key and Mac.  And I don't have players like Amal and Chris Crawford up there with Sam.  I think Sam better than both.

Amal and Crawford both made the NBA.  Doesn’t mean they were better college players, but they did reach the highest level.

90': Tony Smith, Mac, Key, Miller, Crawford, Amal, Hutch, Wardle
2000's: Wade, Diener, Novak, Wes, DJ, Jerel, Lazar, DJO, Crowder, Butler, Markus.

So Sam comes out at 20 (I put him just barely ahead of Cordell, even though Cordell was the second leading scorer on the 2001-02 NCAA tourney team.

This is not a rank in order, but rather chronological, though obviously, it starts with Wade. I'd put Marcus in the 5-7 range.

Key and Mac finished in 1994, that's 25 years.  Tony, ok. I hear you there.

The thing with players like Crawford and Amal is that their stats were depressed because of the systems they played in. Both led us to NCAA wins, were on conference title teams and were drafted and played in the NBA. I think Crawford could have averaged nearly 20 a game playing for an MU coach other than Deane.

They also had really good players ahead of them reducing their roles as underclassmen

Not sure if this has been talked about, honestly haven't read a word of this thread..my apologies. BUT If they go to Madison, Sam's only game against us will be at the FF in 2 years. Will he/they be boo'd or applauded?

If they are Badgers, wearing red, fighting for them, trying to help them win, and beat us, probably booed. It's pretty simple for me.

According to multiple students in the MU athletic dept, they're going to UW. Sam's girl is there and they're going to the Mifflin Block Party this weekend.  I would expect an official announcement once they finish with their semester at MU.

Everything about this sucks, since I actually liked Sam. I hope UW assumes their rightful position of Big Ten dormat.

It's always amazed me about UW fans that they blast MU fans for talking about 1977 because it was over 40 years ago...yet Badger Basketball fans believe their "history" starts in 2000. How quickly they forget that prior to that, on a yearly basis, they were literally one of the worst high major programs in the country..it was glorious.

To be fair, what does the past really have to do with what is going on today? If we’re focusing on the past then UTEP, Loyola Chicago and CCNY are hoops powerhouses and the best rivalry in the ACC is UNC/NC State. It sucks but the fact is since 1994 they’ve been to the tourney 22 times with 3 Final Fours, while we’ve been to the tourney 15 times with 1 Final Four. The past is great but it means nothing for the present and for me, I’d rather discuss what’s happening now than trying to use something that happened when I was 9 months old to claim bragging rights.

We've been talking about reality catching up with UW for over two decades now. Bennett brought them to a Final Four. Bo coached them at a Hall of Fame level. And like Gard or not, he has 3 NCAA appearances in 4 seasons with two Sweet 16 trips. Maybe that's all Happ, maybe they will fall off the cliff now, but Trice/Davison/Reuvers is a decent trio of players to lead them for the next two years. If they get the Hausers, 2020-21 could be a really good year for them. Are we assuming they won't recruit anyone between now and then? Or they will only get walk-on caliber players?

I'm not overwhelmed with Gard, but the program hasn't collapsed. People thought it would collapse when they were 9-9 (1-4) under Bo/Gard in 2016. They went to the Sweet 16. People thought they would collapse after Hayes & Koenig left in 2017 & they had a poor 2018, but they bounced back to the tournament & equaled our seed. I don't think anyone will confuse them with Michigan State any time soon, but they idea that reality is about to hit and their program will fall apart when all they've done is win for the better part of two decades seems just a touch premature.

They are F%ckies now. The enemy. I wouldn't think any Warriors fan who disliked Ponds and company coming into FF and beating MU should feel any better should Sam and company be lucky enough to do it. Indeed, given the level of hate for F%cky, I'd feel worse about it.

Thankfully, it won't happen. We're gonna kick butt against the guys who quit our program, just as we've beaten F%cky 3 of the last 4 years.

Oh I hope like hell they don’t end up there but I’m prepared to find the silver lining if they do. Unfortunately if they end up at UW I think they take that team to much greater heights than they otherwise would’ve reached and they likely come to MKE and embarrass Wojo (if he’s still our coach)

I cannot wait for MU to go on a winning streak and a group here will be totally quiet.  We will lose a few, and the firing BS will be alive and well with “I told you we should have fired him last season”, blah blah blah.  The “I told you so” messages are just ready to be unleashed by these folks. 

You missed the part of the winning streak where the most MU faithful post previous quotes from the faithless in retribution. 

We should just start an "I told you so" thread right now. 

It'll get used one way or the other.

Coincidence?

Taylor Currie transferring from UW, leaving the Badgers' 2018 class at just one player

MADISON – Wisconsin’s 2018 class in men’s basketball is down to one player – center Joe Hedstrom.

A source confirmed Tuesday that forward Taylor Currie, who redshirted last season, has decided to leave the program.

He joins guard Tai Strickland, who is transferring to Temple after playing in 16 games as a freshman last season.

The departure of Currie, who first committed to Michigan but de-committed and eventually chose UW over Xavier, leaves UW with 10 players likely to be on scholarship for 2019-'20.

That includes incoming freshman Tyler Wahl and Ohio State transfer Micah Potter, who may not be eligible until the second semester next season.

Hedstrom, who joined the program as a walk-on and redshirted last season, is set to go on scholarship.

Guard Trevor Anderson, who played in eight games before suffering a season-ending knee injury, is also expected to be placed on scholarship. Anderson joined UW as a walk-on after playing one season at UW-Green Bay.

A source close to Currie said recently that the player was eager to see action next season and believed he could contribute on the glass and on defense.

UW remains in the running to add Sam Hauser and Joey Hauser, who announced last month they are leaving the Marquette program.

The Hausers are expected to sit out next season under NCAA transfer rules. Sam has one season of eligibility remaining; Joey, who redshirted two seasons ago while recovering from an injury, has two seasons remaining.

Michigan State and Virginia are also options for the Hausers. The brothers reportedly are set to visit Virginia later this week and Michigan State next week.

The Spartans have one scholarship available but head coach Tom Izzo could find a second spot through roster management.

Virginia has three scholarships available but the Cavaliers need guards more than front-court help. Kihei Clark, who will be a sophomore next season, is the only point guard on the Virginia roster.

UW head coach Greg Gard cannot comment publicly on unsigned players. However, he said last week the Badgers hoped to add to their roster before the start of next season.

“In this day and age you have to be aware of options,” he said, noting about 800 players are in the NCAA transfer portal. “We’ll see what else happens here through the spring and early summer as we add to the roster.”

I love this line:

The Hausers are expected to sit out next season under NCAA transfer rules.

Um, what other options they have? (pretty sure they are not stepping down to D2 or D3).

There’s always the opportunity to file some BS waiver request. If Justin Fields can claim he had to leave Georgia and get eligible immediately at Ohio State state because one idiot used the N word or Tate Martell can get eligible immediately at Miami because, well, nobody knows, then who  knows what Bucky could try to allege.

Time to move on, fellas.  They're gone.  They're not coming back.  We don't need three Hauser threads at the top of the feed everyday.
