Great game by Scott C.

[Jacks DC]

Good for him.  But he also went 1-10 with 3 TOs in their opener against Northern Arizona.

Good for him.  But he also went 1-10 with 3 TOs in their opener against Northern Arizona.

And 15 points on 6-11 shooting in his 2nd game against Alabama State.  Averaging 16 ppg, 3 rpg, 3 apg, and 1 spg on 56% shooting, 100% from the line, and 69% from 3 point range.

Not too shabby for a D3 player playing in D1...not too shabby.

I want to know how guys with any MU connection are doing.  It's the same way with kids my daughter played with and against in HS.  I just like knowing how they are doing. 

I suspect Chicos has an agenda, but there are those who don't. 

[ChicosBailBonds]

Well, my patience has run out and I felt the need to vent.

Of course....

[ChicosBailBonds]

Good for him.  But he also went 1-10 with 3 TOs in their opener against Northern Arizona.

And DJO is 2-8 so far this year in 3's.   Stats can tell any story you want.


Nice game by SC, it's rare at any level (especially for a guard having to shoot from distance) to have a perfect shooting night.  5 for 5 on 3's, 11 for 11 from the floor, and perfect from the line.  Tip of the hat to a good kid and a former Marquette Warrior!

[Henry Sugar]

SC got a writeup in Basketball Prospectus for his performance.  There is also a Wesley Matthews mention.

how insecure do you have to be to want to know on a continuing basis how someone we spurned or spurned us is doing?  Gotta' be sure that they know they made a mistake and are not as cool as they would be, and, are, ergo not as cool as us, by not being part of the us is that is me!

Sounds like an ex girlfriend.
Gotta keep checking on facebook or twitter or whatever to make sure they arent doing as well as we want them to and just to feel better knowing we're doing better off without them. But in the end it doesn't really matter how good or bad they're doing. We (buzz) can only control what we (the team) does. and I'm pretty happy with our success so far. Not as bitter as a few other scoopers are

How's Liam doing?

[leever]

Brett Roseboro has 4 points and 4 rebounds-----in 4 games!  How did Buzz let him get away?

[Jay Bee]

How's Liam doing?

Awesome.  Last game 9 minutes off the bench, no points, no boards, 3 fouls.

(But that was game 2 of the year... game 1 he actually did go against NC St and scored 4, grabbed 9 in 19 minutes)

Interesting that Chicos knows SC is 'a good kid'

I know Scott's a good kid. We used to hang out quite a bit in his 1 year here. We still keep in touch. Really nice guy.

[oldwarrior81]

How about Niv? We need to establish a Berkie Hotline

Niv played 10 minutes and scored 2 points, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 turnovers against Bnei Hasharon last night,

Actually I do, from several very solid sources who I trust implicitly.

[ChicosBailBonds]

I know Scott's a good kid. We used to hang out quite a bit in his 1 year here. We still keep in touch. Really nice guy.

Absolutely everything I've heard (from coaches, administrators, etc) say the same thing.   I have a very dear friend in the ISU athletic department and she says he is a class act all the way.

[Lennys Tap]

I know Scott's a good kid. We used to hang out quite a bit in his 1 year here. We still keep in touch. Really nice guy.

So YOU know. And I'm glad that he's a good guy. I want all the guys that come to MU to be good guys. But Jay Bee's question remains unanswered.

Edit: As I was typing, Chicos posted on how he knows that Scott is a good guy. Explanation accepted.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Whew...I am so relieved

Will someone PLEASE throw up some Andy Freund updates?

What's Carlton Christian up to these days?
And really, who's keeping track of Amo and his big guns?

I miss Dameon Mason   .... well freshman Dameon Mason, whooeee.

I think i noticed last year how so & so did (big recruit we didn't land, name escapes me) w/ Georgia Tech against UNC.... and saw Mbakwe on the bottom line on ESPN re: the UMinn game....

I wish our departed players the best as long as they are of good character, but only as long as it doesn't interfere with MU's success!

[Marquette84]

With the way we're shooting the 3 this season, the loss of Christopherson will wind up costing us a loss or two this year.

Given how we are defending the likes of Gonzaga and Duke inside, I think losing Mbakwe also will cost us a few wins.  

If he keeps ups his early performance, I think we'll regret losing Newbill.

We'll have to wait and see on Maymon.

I don't think we'll miss Liam, Mbao, Hazel, or Roseboro at all.

[4everwarriors]

Maybe should f*ckin' forfeit the whole damn season?

[Pakuni]

How many game would it cost MU to have Christopherson playing ahead of DJO or Blue? How many more points does he give up to Big East-quality perimter players?
How many games will it cost MU to have Newbill (who doesn't get off the bench on this roster) instead of Jamil Wilson over the following three seasons?

Such silly speculation.

[Marquette84]

How many game would it cost MU to have Christopherson playing ahead of DJO or Blue? How many more points does he give up to Big East-quality perimter players?

None.  Having Christopherson would have been a net plus this season.  We already narrowly lost one game this year because Mark Few saw that our 3 point shots couldn't hit the ocean.  

And given that our current lineup is one of the worst 3 point defensive teams in the country, I hardly think you can make the case that Christopherson would cause us to become terrible defensively.  

As a team, Iowa State is 12 points better than us at defending the three point shot this season.

You've made an assumption--unsubstantiated by fact--that our more athletic backcourt naturally defends the 3 point shot better.  That's simply not happening right now.  

How many games will it cost MU to have Newbill (who doesn't get off the bench on this roster) instead of Jamil Wilson over the following three seasons?

First, I think you're wrong about Newbill not getting off the bench. He's putting up better numbers than most of our current backcourt--even our veterans.  And he's even done so against Big East-level competition.  

Second, you offer a false premise on the question. Buzz could have picked any of the 13 players on scholarship or under LOI when he needed to find room for Wilson.

Can't we start a former recruits thread? It would allow those interested to keep track of players after choosing another school, but stops all this eternal fighting of 3 pages on whether or not we should care every time a new thread about a former recruit starts.  Some people are interested, no need in getting into a debate every time a recruit goes off.
