Uthoff -- Would you want him?

[Bocephys]

Pass history has shown who we are considering this far ahead and who we get is not the same.

Well sure, but as of now I've officially inked them all to LOIs in my head.  That means there's no room for Uthoff.

[chapman]

Don't know enough about him to say yes or no, though I doubt it'll happen.  It would be pretty funny though, since nothing would have ever been mentioned if the list had been Big Ten and Marquette from the beginning.  Now the intense pressure even dropped MU off the list.

We need more big men!

(no, not THAT way Warthog)

We need more big men!

(no, not THAT way Warthog) 

Austin Greatstaff stands at attention, ready to fill the void!

Anyhow, that is all Warriorchick's doing

It wasn't media pressure....Bo just decided to do the right thing......

Mike and Mike cooled on Bo?

[Niv Berkowitz]

Even of the cat is the second coming of niv berkovitz, I'd want him just to see Bo's bigetyed reaction when he found out.

Whatever dude. I could ball...coach never gave me a shot so that was all I could handle. That and I missed falafel and hummus prepared the right way.

[GGGG]

Honestly, any word if Buzz is even interested in him coming to MU?

[cheebs09]

Mark Miller tweeted his expectations were Iowa State, Creighton and Virginia. I was honestly surprised Uthoff wanted to appeal us. I know Badger fans thought he'd be a big part of their future (although for some reason his skills have diminished in the past week). If he is a fit for Buzz's system, I would love to get him, I don't know much about him as a player.

[butchbadger]

Any Badger fan that says Uthoff can't play is either lying or stupid.  He has game but needs to develop his body.

Honestly, any word if Buzz is even interested in him coming to MU?

I doubt it

Bo Ryan shedule for Waddle and Silvy at 11:40AM CST ESPN 1000 Chicago.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

I would rather have Lockett or Hood.

[brewcity77]

Bo on ESPN 1000 from Chicago right now.

[Chicago_inferiority_complexes]

Bo on ESPN 1000 from Chicago right now.

He sounds like the whiniest b!tch I've ever heard.

[brewcity77]

"We knew what schools were going to be, not blocked, but prohibited."

Uhh...what's the difference between blocked and prohibited?

"Having had 1 transfer in 10 years...never went through any of this."

Clearly he can't count, I've seen tallies of at least 5-6 transfers out Bo has had; when asked if he should have done the M&M interview, he said...

"A lot of people after that (M&M interview) said 'oh yeah, that's how it's done?'...it's about time someone said how it really works."

When asked "were you on the same page with Barry Alvarez"

"You're always working with the administration, it's like all the other transfer situations we've had on campus with other sports, but I wouldn't know that...you kind of know, but you want to make sure you know the details...other coaches said 'schools that are in BCS conferences in your area, or in-state, or if you're going to play anybody', so the Big 10/ACC Challenge, you don't know who you're going to play for the next 3-4 years."

About the Ben Brust transfer...

"Ben Brust got out of his LOI before Wisconsin even knew he was attempting to get out of his LOI. There was a coaching change, a coach was fired, he asked for a release, he got a release, then he started visiting a bunch of schools. That's exactly what happened, but no one wants to tell the truth. They're gonna have their slant. When I say they don't tell the truth...they didn't even know. Ben Brust contacted us...we didn't even know he was leaving."

When asked if Wisconsin taken a PR hit...

"The fact that we stood up for the whole procedure and the education these people got about exactly how this works, it's exactly the opposite. The accusations, people remember those, but they don't remember the outcome...there are so many people that thought one thing, but now have swayed totally to the other side."

_________________________________

Bo is completely delusional if he thinks this was a positive for Wisconsin, Silvy said as much as soon as they got off the line with him. UW should really put a gag on him, this is the third interview I've heard and each time he just seems to not understand anything about what's going on and comes across as an ass. He's not doing the school or his program any favors by continuing to talk to the media.

[NavinRJohnson]

It isn't complicated. He acted like a vindictive jerk toward a 19 year old kid, was called on it, exposed, and the rest is all BS as he tries to cover his and UW's ass.

  This article is pathetic. He states he's not going to attack a 19 year old kid but then takes a stab at Uthoff's maturity. His UW boner is quite apparent.
