Sandy Cohen on the IWB radio show

[tower912]

  Had never really heard of Wojo.  First contact was just a 'getting to know you' call.    Met with Sandy on the second day on the job.    Wojo understood what Sandy was going through.    Sandy really liked him.   Style:   Wants lots of players who can play lots of positions.   (switchables  )       Immediate connection.    Wojo is a people person.   Wojo has been there, played at a high level.    Sandy and Duane traded texts throughout the process.  Hasn't really talked to the other recruits.    Ahmed Hill a little bit, but no insight.    AH should go wherever is the best choice for him.      Was shocked when Buzz left.  Asked for release out of fright, didn't really know what to do.   Once Wojo talked to him, Sandy became comfortable with staying.

Thanks for the recap. It is very interesting to see Duane involved in both getting Sandy to stay and also in getting Fischer to come here (I think it was mentioned in another poster they texted also). Duane could be the leader we were missing last year.

I think most importantly that he WANTS to be in that role.

Hope Duane has been talking with Ahmed Hill. He seems to be pretty persuasive.

Duane as 3rd assistant?

[NotAnAlum]

From the very beginning I have really liked everything I have heard or read about Duane.  I liked the pre-season tapes he did showing his conditioning, I liked his thoughtful interview on redshirting, I liked his comments on Wojo.  I like that he seems to be networking with teammates and recruits.  Like others have said in this thread he seems to WANT to lead.  That is great to find in any player but in your point guard it is immeasurable.  I really think this guy was the missing piece last year.  I know, I know he hasn't seen the court yet and if he was that good why didn't Buzz just unredshirt him.  I don't care I think Duane and Burton are the type of people you can build a great team around.

More importantly, Wojo has been talking to Hill.

More importantly, Wojo has been talking to Hill.

Was that a statement or a question? I've been wondering why we've heard about his meetings with Cohen and Noskowiak, but nothing about Hill.

Because they are Wisconsin players, so reporters here talked to them right away to check on the situation.

But if you check Atlanta papers, here is a quote from Hill:
"I really haven't talked to Coach Wojo much, so I don't have an opinion of him yet," Hill said. "We're supposed to talk this weekend.

"I just want to talk to him on the phone, see what kind of person he is really, and see what he talks about. I will probably stay with Marquette unless I hear something I don't like."

This was a couple days after Wojo was hired. The weekend in question was April 4-6.

Ganzer was at the banquet last night.  I hope people gave him plenty of sh!t about the "done deal" thing.

Perhaps because Hill has not asked for a release like Sandy did, or announced his decommitment like Noskowiak did.

I hope you are joking.

[GOO]

I hope you are joking.

Elephant in the room, if no one gave him some crap.  Better to joke about it, get it out there, and put it in the past than to avoid the elephant.  Otherwise, the elephant is kind of always there or at least hanging around for a longtime.

[Gato78]

Talk about info out of thin air. He wasn't there. In fact, he is out of town with his wife and kids--which usually means good recruiting news. Nice use of the "done deal thing" noting his presence.

So, a source you trust gave you information and you ran with it without confirming for yourself? Need to be better in the future.
