Jameel McKay

The recruiting boards seem to have Crean all over this kid. Hopefully, he'd appreciate Buzz's record with JUCO's - plus he'd be the successor to Jae with the dreads.

I hope like heck we sign McKay, not just because he'd be a great fit at MU from a roster complexion perspective, but also that it would signal we are still able to sign JUCO players.  MU is/has been thought to be the leader for McKay - as he's looking for a program/coach that has a track record for developing players and getting them to the next level.  Not sure there is a coach with a better track record of taking JUCO guys and getting them NBA/NBDL ready than Buzz.

I just hope he does not oversign, ie. Uthoff vs. McKay.  I think Buzz does not worry about that at all.

Do you mean will the admin allow us (Buzz) to still be able to sign JUCO players?  Or that we still can effectively (able) to sign JUCO players?

We should continue to be on every top JUCOs(AA/POY) list as the school where JUCOs come to win, develop, and move on to the next level.

I have some concern that the recruitment of JUCO's is part of the disconnect between Buzz and the Administration...and my feeling on this is more than speculation, yet I cannot say it is 100% factual.  Connecting different dots...the the rift b.t. Buzz and Admin, the D-List interview yesterday, MU re-emerging/energizing in the Matt Thomas recruitment (La Crosse Aquinas), now being involved with Uthoff.  The best way to describe the current climate of MU hoops, is that there is/has been a disconnect between Buzz and the Administration.

I do think some of the disconnect is on JUCOs and I think that the D-List answer was as much to the administration as it was to external critics. However, I don't think we can use recruiting Thomas and Uthoff as proof of that. Both of those guys are really good players. I don't know much about Uthoff's style of play, but some here have said he's a good shooter. Thomas is supposed to be a very good shooter.

Matt Thomas plays for Onalaska, i believe.  But, i hear what you are saying.

Peter King approves of this waffling statement.  TRUTHINESS.

[madtownwarrior]

at least he said "I have some concern" - I have learned that makes all the rampant speculation ok...

Not enough citrus or nutmeg in that waffle to be on PK's level

He said he wants to make his decision by July. Hopefully were one of the finalists in on him.

[brewcity77]

Was pleased to see him tweet last night that he misses Milwaukee. I think that being the hometown team could very well play in our favor with McKay.

Saw this too hopefully he talks with Buzz now that he's back in town.
