Another Player Departure

[MU B2002]

Well let me put this out early then...  I think Junior is leaving.









In 2012.

Let's hope that Junior stays to graduate and finish his Senior year in 2012-2013.

word on the street - Junior is jumping to the Pros

is junior on campus yet?  buyks is here, and there has been news on some others.  when does everyone show up?

I had thought Cube would leave all season - didn't seem he have the same nitch with Buzz that he had with Crean.  Hope not, but losing Acker would be much worse I'm afraid. We have to have a seasoned point guard next year - just not comfortable with a freshman getting 100% of the responsibility for point out of the gates.  We got lucky to have DJ able to do it freshman year, but I don't want to gamble on that happening again.

Probably end of June early July.  Junior just finished classes on Friday and Williams finishes tomorrow so they will likely be here first.  Maymon and Roseboro still have a few more weeks of classes before graduation.

Not sure about DJO or Mbao.

I shared the same view but at the end of season Buzz spoke highly of what Cubillan went through this season and you'll notice that both Butler and Fulce spoke of the leadership that was coming from Hayward and Cubillan.

All Madison high schools graduate on June 13 or 14.  (I have a nephew graduating from West.)

I forgot what MU player videos they were, but I think it was with Liam doing the interviews that when he asked who had the purest shot, three of the players said Coobey.

Pure bricks.... I love the kid but his FG% has been horrendous the last two years.  Regardless, for many reasons, I hope this thread continues down the path of non-newsworthiness.  I like the squad and I think its as good as its gonna get.

I think marquette might be better if we get this guy!

You can't teach height.

[VegasWarrior77]

But remember - big men take time to develop!  That guy would take forever...!

Actually, at the bottom of the article, there's this note:

The UK's tallest man is Neil Fingleton, who was measured at 7ft 7.56ins at the Guinness World Records offices on January 29 2007.

Neil Fingleton was a backup center on the Holy Cross team that MU beat in the 2003 NCAAs. 

Yes, I actually remembered this guy.  I need a life.

Hah - for those that missed the thread, rumor is that Acker might be off the team, but it's not set in stone yet.

'nuff said.

Fingleton was also a McDonald's All American and consensus top 50 player, making him the biggest bust in the game in more ways than one.

What thread?  Off the team, as in kicked off?

[dwaderoy2004]

sorry my man, it appears the thread has been deleted.  you snooze you lose.

[VegasWarrior77]

It must have been taken down quickly!

[MU B2002]

Not really, I think it was up for at least 6 hours.

Life in the internets age --- 6 hours is a long time. Oy.

For those of us with lives 6 hours isn't that long.

[MU B2002]

For those of us with lives 6 hours isn't that long.

Wow, thanks.  I would consider my wife, child, and job a life.  And I still think for a "controversial topic" on this board 6 hours seems to be a long time.  The initial James to play against MO thread was up and gone in what seemed like a much shorter time frame.

Mods- did you receive a request to take the thread down?  If so, from whom?
