Acker returns
               


Maurice Acker has re-joined MU, coach Buzz Williams said on Saturday afternoon.

The senior point guard had left the team a little over two months ago in order to concentrate on academics.

"He was on track to graduate in the fall, and he's going to need probably six more hours in the spring," said Williams. "This summer, all he did was focus academically, he did fine, and this has been going on over the last couple of weeks. I talked to his dad, talked to his mom over the phone, face-to-face, and they think it's the right thing for him.

Someone want to explain how he went from "on track to graduate in December" to "needs 2 more classes in the spring" while doing "fine" in the summer sessions?

Interesting move that solves the extra scholie dilemma.  Overall should be a net positive for the squad.

In response to the return of Mo Acker, Yahoo has revised it's preseason power rankings and put MU at number 7.

Buzz4Prez

This totally helps MU, but I don't know if it will make us that much better.

I'm getting dizzy from all the moves this August!

I'm going to sit down and let this "Acker returning" digest.

Wondering why he was allowed back on the team???

CAINMUTINY

Buzz was able to pull some strings and get Mo his medical marijuana card just in time for he fall semester.  Ladies and gentleman the captain has turned on the smoking light!

I can't say how much this helps us but it certainly doesn't hurt us.  I am happy to have Mo back on the squad and hope to see him really contribute this year much like he has the past couple years.

I mean lets face it, MU has been leaning pretty liberal these days and has been trying me become more green......well I'd say this move is pretty green  ;)

ChicosBailBonds

But but but, Acker isn't a Big East caliber player.  I don't get it.  


Using pink moving forward so Hayward can understand


"Crean signed a lot of non BE caliber players...Acker all by himself demonstrated he was not BE caliber.  I dont think it is a stretch to say DJO, Junior, and Buycks are all significant upgreades to Acker already.  Also, given Buzz's modus operandi he will be filling the vacancy with another player better than Acker before school starts.

Remember Buzz fills late openings with guys like Butler and Mboa, not guys like Blackledge and Berkowitz."

Dizzy is not the word. Is it strange, weird, delusional, smart, I have no clue. 

Now who's the starting point guard and does this effect Junior at all. 

Jay Bee

Obviously the Junior can't play this year story is only a week or two away.

I LOVE this.  Mo has played in the Big East, and I hope Junior plays 38 mins/game and is great... but, this is big time college ball, and a seasoned pg vet is welcomed by me like no other.  Also, the Vikings run all things in NFL football. 
The portal is NOT closed.

Huh.  Well, I didn't see that coming.  Good thing I never removed Roseboro form the scholarship table.  Now I can just edit it once and kill two birds with one stone.  :-\

Golden Avalanche

Sixteen months in, the way I describe Buzz' tenure to present is scattered -- we are all over the fucking place.

Blackhat

Why not? 

Don't give a "four year scholly" to a Horizon League pg this late in the game(which is all you'll find) when we can just keep our Horizon League caliber pg one more year.

MU needs dept at gaurd, and I am glad he's back.  What if something happens to JR or Buycks, it's good to know there's some experience on the bench.  I don't want to see Cubbie running the point.

Fullodds

Good move by Buzz.  I'll never complain about having too many point guards (remember 2005?).

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

He must have pounded a pint of vinegar and deleted his "connection" from his cellie.

absolutely stand by that statement....Mo will not be ahead of DJO, Buycks, or Junior on the depth chart.  However the experience of a 5th year senior with be a great benefit. 

How is Chicos quoting me when he has me on ignore?....poser!

They still have an extra scholarship.

This is nice and all, but my hope is that he doesn't see much of the floor.

bilsu

This gives us another practice player and some one to bring in if the new guards get rattled by a press.

Exactly.  We know his upside...it's not much more than what we have seen already.  But my guess is that we will need him to calm things down at times.  But Buycks and Junior are simply better basketball players.
