How Could The State U. Lose Recruits To Lowly X?

[ChicosBailBonds]

great analysis - other than the tan a-hole abandoned MU for II,II making all this conjecture non-sense...

LOL

Abandonded?  Didn't he leave us with Buzz and lobbied hard for him to get the job?

Didn't he leave us with 4 of the top 10 scorers in MU history on the roster?

Look, he thought he could do better at Indiana and he's right.  He just landed some of the best players in the country that he may have landed 3 or 4 of them at Marquette.  That's the reality of it.  

Gave us 9 years and we would not be in the Big East, would not have a Final Four in this century, would not have Dwyane Wade, etc, etc....some abandonment.  LOL

I would prefer we still had Crean as head coach and Buzz as his primary recruiting assistant.

1.  We wouldn't have a turnover-by-committee point guard--we would have Tyshawn Taylor, with his 7.5 apg average and a 6:1 assist to turnover ratio.

2.  Instead of a inconsistent frosh getting major minutes inside, we would have Trevor Mbakwe averaging a near double-double.

3.  Instead of wondering where in the ball is going for any shot outside the arc, we would at least have Christopherson as a zone-busting threat keeping defenses honest.  He's 68.8% on three point attempts this year.  BTW, I don't buy the theory that he's a defensive sieve--MU's 3 point defense % is 39.2.  Iowa State's is 28.6. 




Furthermore, the last two games have exposed the fallacy of "Buzz is a much better X's and O's coach".  Both Crean and Buzz have had close games against Mike Krzyszewski and Mark Few--Crean beat Few in Alaska, and was 1-1 against Duke  Buzz was 0-2 combined this week.  And keep in mind that most people think that we've significantly UPGRADED our talent over what Crean had.

Now consider that we would still had Buzz as our #1 recruiting assistant. Presumably Buzz still would have found DJO and Buycks and Crowder and Blue.

And Jamil WIlson probably would have committed to MU directly out of school rather than transferring from Oregon and sitting out this year.

So imagine this week if we had a lineup of
Taylor
DJO
Wilson
Crowder
Mbakwe

Blue as 6th man
Christopherson off the bench to bust zones
Buycks as a backup to DJO and Taylor.
Otule getting backup minutes to Mbakwe.
Deep bench of Fulce, Williams, Hazel. and Smith.

With that lineup, I could live without Butler, Jones, and Cadougan

You're kidding, right?

Chicos - nothing is stopping you from following Crean to Indiana to kiss his ass there...

You miss the point.

1) I am already an IU alum and do cheer for IU but it's such a distant distant team for me, way way way way behind Marquette.  Not even in the same zip code.  I will always cheer for MU over IU.

2) I take joy in exposing the complete hypocrisy here.  For as much as the d-bags here have crapper on certain posters, you bet I enjoy showing their hypocrisy and how cluelessly wrong they are.   Nothing better then exposing a hypocritical bag of douche....especially in light of their personal attacks against some folks on this board.  Absolutely nothing better.

To clarify, I offer the opinion, Chicos, that sex is better.

Careful, now.  The mods PM us non-Chicos folks when someone disagrees with him.  You're messing with a protected species. 

[ChicosBailBonds]

4ever...you always make me laugh...I mean that seriously. 

You are not one of the people I was referencing


And yes, sex is better.  I'll move exposing douchebaggery hypocrites to #2 immediately

This last paragraph is so sad. "Joy" in exposing what you consider hypocrisy on a basketball message board? And there's "absolutely nothing better"? Wow.

I give what I get Lenny.  People have gotten personal with me (and others) for the last several years, private emails, public statements that are totally untrue, etc....so exposing some of these frauds is fun.  I don't deny it.
