[Rosiak's Blog] Acker returns

[hdog1017]

I remember Joe Chapman running point against Cinncy, and absolutely getting embarrassed.

My buddies and I were at the MU-SLU game that year in the Lou where it went double-OT and MU won 55-51 without Diener.  That game itself set offensive basketball back 20 years.  Both teams shot around 30% from the field.

If there is any argument that you can never have enough experienced PGs, that's the game to look it.  Chapman ran the point and was not good it to say the least.

Exactly. Only the involved parties have the full story, and I'm sure it will stay that way.  Nobody on here is owed an explanation.

Except of course when it's another team reinstating players for these types of things and we all fly off the handle.

did i miss a police report or a press release from MU?  if so, can someone please post the link.  i don't fly off the handle at other school's rumors, so i would hope to not fly off the handle for our own schools rumors. 

i make comments when kids are arrested or disciplined by the school for the specific infraction, then they go back on it.  however, to have a kid leave the team to focus on schoolwork and have someone state that it's for something else... sorry not a credible source.  i apologize if i missed the report if there is one.

grow up people.  these are kids that some of you are way to involved in their lives.  i for one am happy to have an experienced point guard back on the team.  at least we know we have one player that can singlehandedly break a big east press.

While I generally agree, if he did partake in the activities in which it has been suggested, I think that he should be cut a break.  Unless he is a serial offender of some sort.

I have never, at my time at MU, partaken in what the accused has been suspected in doing.  I find it atrocious and repulsive and does not represent the student body in the least.  If I had even known someone to partake in such deviant behavior I would want them kicked out of my classroom/dorm room/apartment without so much a second to think it over.  We then could call that individual a vile human compared to my, and others, prestigious existence.

The only positive I see, on a basketball level, is the knowledge of other players in the league and what it takes to continue through a full season.  Even at that it is a stretch.  He didn't play that many minutes until DJ was out last year.  He was for certain serviceable, there is no doubt about that-but he also had the help of Rel and Wes in controlling the point.

I don't see him playing that many minutes this year--but they will be vital the ones that he does-i.e. the three newcomers are going through growing pains on the road, foul trouble, bad game, injuries, etc.

Thinking on the positive...

We have two spots open-
Ack fills one spot
Ack has had BEast experience
Ack has played under Williams
Ack has 1 year left so it does not occupy the scholie given away for next year
Ack fills in better than a walk-on
Ack probably missed playing and is playing with renewed vigor

Nope, you didn't miss either.  I don't recall seeing one for Zack McCall either.

I was at that game as well with my buddies and it was one of the worst Marquette game experiences I've ever had.  And I was at the Final Four.  Well maybe it wasn't that bad...
