Figuring We Ain't Done Yet

[4everwarriors]

While everyone is creaming themselves over the Gardner signing and subsequent rejoicing that Mbao is staying, has the thought occurred that possibly another recruit will commit to MU and therefore someone else would leave?
While I would love to see Noreen in a Warrior uni, I said from the start that it is unlikely. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Hahn came on board. Buzz loves his Texas pipeline.

[brewcity77]

Weren't there rumors of Hahn trying to walk on?

[Clam Crowder]

I don't get the whole walk on situation I assumed that we already did not have a walk on. In addition although I don't know much about Hahn why in God's name would someone do that?

I'm pretty certain that players have passed on D1 scholarships to smaller schools to walk-on to bigger school.  Maybe just a matter of preference.

Definite possibility of another recruit.

Wouldn't surprise me, but I have a feeling it would be someone out of left field. Then again, I thought Gardner was going to USF.

We've had 3 visitors this month. Dieng, who chose UL. Noreen is a long shot I think. I guess it comes down to if there's legit interest in Hahn, or if Buzz was giving him a look as a courtesy to a friend back home.

[NCMUFan]

Haven't seen any info on Hahns HS or prep stats, team record, awards, etc.. Why are we excited about this kid other than being 7 foot?

[GGGG]

My opinion is that Gardner was the last.  Noreen was the only one that had a chance, and either Buzz cooled on him or he didn't think he'd get him.

[Dr. Blackheart]

The Buzzer is still looking for 2010

[HoopsMalone]

With Mbakwe and Roseboro not making it through the summer, maybe it is better to keep looking.  You never know. 

Unless there are issues that we fans do not know about, I hope Buzz starts forming relationships for 2011 and 2012.  Great base of talent already at MU.  I think Buzz has enough talent for two or three consecutive finishes top 4 in the Big East and Sweet 16 favorites.  Those two classes could make MU dangerous.

And I hope the first relationship he works on is whoever goes to a prep school (if someone indeed goes).  There wasn't a recruit in the class that I hoped would leave.  I think each had a bright future of being at least a very good role player on the team as an upper classman.

To avoid going to Texas State?  Because he assumes he's getting a full ride next year after he shows his stuff.
Because he thinks that Forzena looks like a good guy to talk to on the bench?  Because he assumes that MU is going to make to the final four his senior year and he wants to spend that weekend in the hotel room of his gorgeous cheerleader girlfriend, instead of the team hotel. (See Craig Butrym)

Already 250 lbs.  Has spent time away from home at a military school, so he'll be more acclimated to being at a college.  Great potential for tag line; "The Wrath of Hahn".

[brewcity77]

why in God's name would someone do that?

Because they want to play basketball. Michael Olowokandi did it at Pacific. He eventually earned a scholarship (and became the #1 pick in the NBA draft) and it certainly isn't common, but it's not unheard of. If he wants a good education, is eligible for other grants and scholarships, and thinks he has the game to eventually earn that scholarship through his play, it's not impossible. And who knows...maybe he'd rather walk on somewhere where he would have a chance of regularly playing in the NCAAs than go to somewhere like North Texas where his best shot would be as a 15-seeded sacrifice to Ohio State or someone like that.

Just for the sake of a laugh, I went over and checked out the Badgers message boards regarding this signing and found an interesting tidbit.

What we used to call "HouseCreaning" they are now calling "Buzzcutting".

Stay classy Badger fans.

Since that suggestion originated on this board, it's nice to know that they are monitoring our posts.  Can't blame them, our board has to be more interesting, especially when all you have to talk about is whether Bo is losing his player evaluation skills when a player whose game is caught in a rut decommits in time for Bo to find the next Duje Dukan.

That's three really solid points right there. Don't underestimate the power of a great tag line.

Yeah, well I'm not clever enough to come up with a phrase to call what Bo did to Ian Markholf.  They seriously can't think that's voluntary can they?

He got Bo-toxed.

[Dawson Rental]

He got Bo-toxed.

LMAO, awesome!

[Litehouse]

He got Bo-toxed.

I thought the proper term was Bo-ning.  As in, Coach Ryan is Bo-ning Markolf so he can bring in another guard.

[muball]

How about BO BOOTED

[butchbadger]

Markolf was not runoff like MU players are.  He doesn't love the game and is staying at Madison. He has no desire to change schools and/or play basketball anymore. He happens to be 7 feet tall but is a lot smarter than he is a good player. 


Here we have a recruit that signed a LOI that is being reneged on by Marquette.  And Buzz is still actively trying to sign another player so another signed kid will have to go too.

Not sure how the treatment of the Markolf  is comparable.  If Bo ran off players Gavinski would've been gone in August of his freshman summer earlier than Roseboro was sent packing.

Yet here he is is returning for a 5th year gobbling up a scholly.  That would not play at Marquette these days.

Most of my MU friends have no problem with this philosophy..."it is a business" they say.  I thought we were trying educate kids.

Isn't that the same line MU people use re: Saunders?? If Crean really was looking to dick over a recruit and do some "house-creaning" wouldn't he have kept the better prospect in Saunders and booted Hazel?

Otherwise, all the other departures were down to the prospect themself. So, isn't it much ado about nothing?
