Great time for that announcement!  We'll all just set our clocks back 75 minutes, turn on our radios, and have a listen.

Good segment.  Buzz was giving Homer crap the entire time, it was pretty funny.

The thing I found very, very interesting happened right at the beginning. Hometeam asked him to run down the new guys, and he said "our newcomers as it stands right now." Homer pressed him on it a bit. Lost in all that is he did not mention Roseboro. Could be just an oversight, but intriguing nonetheless.

Here is the link to podcasts for ESPN Milwaukee 540.  The Buzz segment on Homer's show is already posted.  Good listen.  Very, very long.  Enjoy.

To be fair - it might be 'Scoops fault.  I don't know what's going on, but there was a clog in our RSS pipe for a while.  Cracked sidewalks wasn't picking up either.

I'll keep watching closely....

I was listening for anything on Roseboro.    Hmm.   He did say that all 7 will be on campus by next weekend, and since we have heard nothing else we have to assume that includes Roseboro.    But if one of those remaining 2 un-committed top 100 players suddenly decides to cast his lot with MU......now THAT would be interesting.

I too thought it was interesting that he did not mention Roseboro. Likely an oversight.

The two uncommitted Top 100 players are Lance Stephenson and Noel Johnson. Neither are coming to MU.

[MUfan12]

Found it interesting as well that he mentioned the guys that might be leaving USC.

Oh Buzz and your cryptic remarks...

[dbwarriors]

I'm a diehard MU b-ball fan, but Homer is absolutely brutal.  If it weren't a Milwaukee AM sportstalk station, this guy would not have a job.

Good luck to a young MU team this upcoming year.

[muball]

agree with dbwarrior, Homer needs to let the guest speak and talk about MU ETC.

Buzz stated that more than half of the BCS conference schools have a summer scholarship available if something would happen (MU included).  I take this to mean, Roseboro might be a likely candidate for prep school if another signing presented itself.  If no additional signing were to take place, Roseboro could still go prep school (leaving the scholarship open this season) or enroll at MU and redshirt (which would count against the scholarship limit).  Either way, I don't think we'll see Brett on  the court this upcoming season.

The most likely '09 recruit that MU appears to be involved in is 6'8" PF Derrick Williams (a former USC signee), who happens to be ranked #72 on ESPN Top 100.  This is above Junior #76, Jeronne #79, and Eric #95.

Well, you can never have too many good Williamses.

Yet another reason ESPN has the worst rankings of any service.  Having Derrick Williams above any of those guys is a complete joke.   

Take a look at the RSCI, which has Derrick Williams as the last player in the Top 100.  Rivals, HoopMasters, PrepStars and USA Today don't even have him ranked in the Top 100.

I want to go on record as defending Homer. I think he's a great ambassador for Marquette basketball. He and McIlvaine do a great job on the games. I just wish we could bring back Brute Force and have a three man radio team!

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

I'd also like to inject Homer with some truth serum and ask him the real reason he almost bolted a couple years ago.

Homer on play-by-play is fine.  Homer's talk show is brutally bad.  It is slow moving and completely unfunny.  And I used to like listening to him every night when I lived in Milwaukee 20 years ago after graduating.

Isn't that already pretty well known?

Yup, exactly the point I was trying to make.  As a play-by-play guy, he's fine.  As a sports talk-show host, just horrible.

I don't know anything about it.

[4everwarriors]

I don't know anything about it.

Didn't have something to do with the now departed phony db prick?

[MR.HAYWARD]

redshirting counts against the scholarship total

[Skatastrophy]

My favorite parts are when Homer yells over everyone even though he doesn't have anything interesting/funny to say.

[Sir Lawrence]

I'm with PRN on this topic:  how is he that different from any other sports talk radio host?  I find him somewhat entertaining, and as a promoter of things Marquette, he's more than fine.  And, not that this should matter a whole lot, but he's really a very good guy in his personal life.

[NavinRJohnson]

I'll go ahead a jump to a wild conclusion and assume you are talking about Crean, and say yes, it had to do with him along with Homer's db prick former producer Sparky.

Exactly what I said.  Did you have a point?
