Uncomfortable Question - Who Transfers/Quits?

[reinko]

I think the silence of both bma and 1104 (two of the more connected posters when it comes to recruiting) within this thread is very telling.  Or I could be way off.

Rats farts.

I'm confused.

I heard that NCAA will start giving the scholarships they strip from schools with poor grad rates to those with high numbers.  By this logic no one has to leave, and my assumption is based nothing... just like everyone else.

Nah, they just haven't woken up yet.

No good comes from threads like this.  Whatever happens, things always resolve themselves, no need to speculate on what may or may not happen, it just makes us look bad as a fanbase.

hey sour what the hell do you base that on?

What is anyone basing any of these wild projections on?  Very few of us know anything and are just talking out of our collective a**es about "gut feelings" and what they "have heard."  

[MerrittsMustache]

I heard Marquette was going to send Mbao, the rights to Jae Crowder and a future protected 1st Round pick to the Bucks for Dan Gadzuric and cash considerations.

[muguru]

The answer lies somewhere within this thread....

[NavinRJohnson]

navin, what is  your rationale?

Nothing, other than the fact that he came back when, in retrospect, it seemed clear he wouldn't play. No reflection on him, his ability or potential, Just thinking if he had an idea he would be sitting out next year, what does he lose by coming back to try to play? I don't expect it to happen by any means. I guess I just wouldn't be terribly surprised if it did.

[4everwarriors]

Jr. starts next season at the point. Therefore, no reason to leave MU now.

[Benny B]

I predict that there will be no transfers and that Buzz is focusing on 2011 recruiting by this point.

+1 more

[ATWizJr]

The only inference I can draw is that Mbao is leaving.

[damuts222]

 Are people that bored that we are speculating whose leaving a well coached team where players know that there is playing time to be had next season? Enough with the speculation, I for one hope nobody leaves as we have a good young core coming back that have learned a lot this season.

No scholarships are being lost, no transfers, nothing.

I am walking on though.

I really want a pair of the new Jordans.

I'll +1 to this as well.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

I heard buzz is going to adopt Yous and EWill, and as a employee of MU, get their tuition paid.

[Ari Gold]

Besides Crowder (who I think starts out playing the 4), don't forget Fulce. I think he's got a lot of potential to eat up minutes and fill in if a player is hurt or gets into foul trouble.

Fulce is not a starter--he is a role player. He will not beat out Crowder.

Just helpin you out Will. Never said he'd be a starter

[Doris Burkes Thong]

I'm hearing rumors that Buzz is going to hire Tim Maymon as a video assistant in order to lure Jeronne Maymon back.

[muball]

What if someone needs a redshirt year to develop and adjust to the game, is placed in a JUCO school, then is available for the next class coming in.

We had Junior, DJO, DB,VAnder, Smith, and Newhill coming in maybe someone sees less opportunity. 

One thing for sure none of us know the answer, just like if we got that rebound against UW would we be in the sweet16

This.

[pbiflyer]

I think Ewill has a lot of potential. I have very little confidence in Yous at this point. Maybe I am out in left field but he is so totally lost out there.

You may have very little confidence in Yous, but thankfully, the staff has a lot of confidence in him.

If we were interested in Wilson, I think we hurt our chances. We to a team like Washington, who Wilson doesn't rate very high.

Oh come on...  He was interviewed by his hometown newspaper guy, and he actually had some nice thing to say about Buzz...even referring to him as "Buzz."  It honestly makes you think that the animosity that supposedly existed between the two was overblown.

I was referring to the fact that Wilson seemed to like MU and they are a high quality team. Then they go lose to a team (Washington) that he doesn't think is anything special. It may mean nothing, but it may make Jamil less enamored with the Big East/MU if they lose to a Pac 10 team.

[GOMU1104]

First...I have been on airplanes all day, which is why I havent chimed in.

Second...I absolutely hate threads like these. It is pointless speculation. I have no idea how the roster will change before next season. But...I have a feeling Buzz has pretty good idea what is going on with his team, so he will recruit accordingly. 

Third...To Sultan who said "...Buzz is focusing on 2011 recruiting by this point."  As a coach, you never stop recruiting, even if the 2010 class looks like it is filled.

What if someone needs a redshirt year to develop and adjust to the game,

A redshirt counts toward the scholarship limit.

is placed in a JUCO school, then is available for the next class coming in.

Players aren't "placed" in a JUCO by a D1 team--the players themselves decide to attend.  Sometimes its because they don't have grades.  Sometimes its because the team they want to play for or originally signed with doesn't have room on the roster.  For example, Jimmy Butler wanted to attend Mississippi State out of HS.  No more scholarships so he goes JUCO for a year.

There are two downsides to the strategy:
1.  It uses a year of eligiblity.
2.  The player is not bound to his first choice.  A lot can happen in a year, and nothing binds the player to re-signing with their original team (see Jimmy Butler). Not only does the first school not get that recruit, but they probably lost out on other equally good players because they were holding a scholarship.

There's a couple of downsides for the player as well:
1.  Nothing forces the team to honor its original commitment.  A player may lose out on a chance for a D1 scholarship if he doesn't continue to develop.
2.  The player loses eligibility a year at the D1 level for every year at the JUCO level.
