What's up with Hazel?

[CAINMUTINY]

I really like Pat and its too bad he couldn't play in front of his hometown crowd (queens is less than 10 miles from manhattan) as he always generally played incredibly hard when he did get in........let not continue to speculate about the poor guy; if anything else buzz will arange him to play for another school in a lesser conference who would be HAPPY to have him, coaches don't just let a guy hang out in the wind unless they've really f'ed up

[ecompt]

His part of Queens is 10 minutes from MSG on the subway. I'm surprised he's even with the team at this point.

[mugrack]

He sucks thats whats up with him

[4everwarriors]

Wonder if he'll be Amorosized and banished from the Tourney?

[Daniel]

He played some decent minutes in the first half of the year...and the team called him the best finisher at the hoop.  Who knows what happened, but when the walk-on gets in before a scholie player.....there must be something going on. 

[Boone]

Thought there was something going on when he didn't play vs. Seton Hall and Frozena did. Posted something to that effect and some tool questioned it. Make way for a new Buzz recruit.

[MU_Navy]

...and some tool questioned it.

Wow, classy.

Heaven forbid anybody on this forum question someone's opinion...

[Blackhat]

Some people have been saying the obvious for over a year now...that Hazel isn't a Big East caliber player.    Of course you were attacked if you dare say such a thing.   

[MU111]

No offense to Frozena whatsoever, but it's never a good sign when he's getting a couple minutes at the end of a blowout game and you're on the bench the entire time.

[MUhoops12]

Hazel is gone next year

[Boone]

Hey, Navy, just to elaborate, it was the snarky way this knob questioned it. Satisfied now?

[77fan88warrior]

you mean our 6'6" 1 star center recruit, a Tom crean special wont be back?  Ahh that is a good thing should have never signed him in the first palce, BUzz eliminating yet another Crean mistake = good for MU

It's great to see you are taking out your hatred of Crean on a college kid. Did he piss on your Wheaties as well?
The kid hasn't done anything to embarrass MU publicly but you choose to rail on him. I suppose you wouldn't take the best offer out there?
I certainly don't know what is going on behind the scenes but I definitely think fans should treat the kid with an open mind.
I certainly hope that you don't have children and treat them the same way. It would be bad enough if you taught them how to spell!
I suppose you can tell me how you you run your company and treat your employees so well.
I can definitely see you learned a lot in your years at MU.

I was looking at the roster pictures.

The only MU player to be in his jersey, and NOT a dress shirt, is PATRICK HAZEL.

What does it all mean??

Oh, and does Chris Otule have a lazy eye?  I remember something about his vision not being the best--is that why?

He doesn't have a lazy eye, he has ptosis.  It's a condition where the eyelid muscles aren't strong enough to hold the upper eye lid open.

[ATWizJr]

get that eyelid to the weight room!

To be fair, I did not see an ounce of criticism directed at Hazel in that comment. Plenty directed at Crean for recruiting him, but nothing but a statement about what he actually was coming out of HS. A far crty from 'railing on him.'

[jimmyrizzle]

Not to state the obvious ... but are we sure he wasn't hurt or something?

[MUWarrior06]

Yes, we are sure

[jimmyrizzle]

Warrior, I don't mean to waste your time, so feel free to ignore the following question: How? I used the search function, but it didn't yield anything to my liking.

He won't be back next year. Better see if you can return your Hazel jersey to the spirit shop or whatever they call it these days


Didn't play in 10 of the last 12 games and was suited up for every single one. 1) If he was hurt and Williams did not intend on playing him he would have had him in street clothes. 2) Williams has said time and time again that he would not play guys who are not ready (like Otule). 3) To anyone who actually follows MU basketball and posts on these boards, it's known that Hazel has been in his doghouse all season. 4) He has never been on any injury reports that I've seen

[jimmyrizzle]

Warrior: TY for the response. In regards to him "being in the doghouse" ... are you referring to something to Buzz has actually said? You're argument makes sense, but I was wondering whether Buzz has actually said something along those lines.

[tower912]

There were reports earlier in the year from various sources that Hazel was struggling with both the offensive and defensive rotations.   Things along the lines of Buzz having to stop practice more for PH than the rest of the team combined.    I am too lazy to search, but if you are really ambitious, the truth is out there.

[jimmyrizzle]

Tower: TY for the response. Searching/Googling "Hazel AND doghouse" wasn't going anywhere for me.

[4everwarriors]

Try Hazel and sh ithouse, then.

Is this an Abbey Road "Paul is out of step" Album cover reference (Paul is dead, Paul is dead?)
