With DJO as the 6th man. Bring it on.

And Mr. Jackson coming in as the 'big'.

To delve into this is to acknowledge that MU has always had transfers, roster transition, accepted JUCO's. Maybe we had better back down a little before anyone starts feeling squirmy.

Maybe Fr. P and Larry need to read scoop.

Transfer - Jim Dudley (at least for one game

)

I will agree that if they are serious in what they are rumored to believe, then they have seriously misjudged just how integral basketball is to MU's identity.

Al was trendsetter across the board. He was the first or the leader in almost everything that is college basketball . Part of the reason I started this thread was to point out how rich our history is in taking transfers and Juco's. Anyone with a problem with this does not know our history.

Hey, I think it is balderdash. If it isn't....if they really want to de-emphasize hoops, they are in error.

We are in the middle of a basketball conversation and do you mind waiting until finished. You can save your witty circle jerk lines until we have signed off for the night it would be appreciated.

tower912 · « **Reply #63 on:** April 22, 2012, 08:48:23 PM »

Back on topic.... can we have a team of Downing, Jamil, JFB, DJO, and Kevin Johnson take them on. Would be a fun scrimmage.

madtownwarrior · « **Reply #64 on:** April 22, 2012, 08:54:31 PM »

whatever... I'll go back to waiting for Hiroshima...

Jamil is set up for a pretty nice career:

Sophomore: Key player in a sweet 16 season and #10 ranking.
Junior: Could potentially be one of the guys that annually steps up. Good chance of top 25 team.
Senior: Could potentially be a star player. Assertive and heady on both ends. Potential Final Four team or more.

I think that career is a real possibility. He and MU have a good chance at that IMO.

I had turned off the computer for the night and thought of this one and turned the damn thing back on just to find that someone else remembered him. He was a good one. Lazar and Jae before it was cool.

Marquette will never have a "good chance" at a Final Four and beyond. Even the best teams in an average year don't even have over a 50% chance of making a Final Four. To predict a good chance of a Final Four 2 years down the road next year is a bit risky. If Buzz leaves next year do Burton and Wilson show up? Mayo, Blue test the NBA? The Taylors transfer? We could miss the NCAA Tournament if Buzz leaves. I would put our chances of making a Final Four over the next 2 years at less than 8%. It takes a ridiculously talented team and a ton more luck to reach those heights.

Settle down. I never said MU has an over 50% chance of a Final Four. I said there is a good chance of potentially being a Final Four team. BIG difference.

Of course you said potentially being a Final Four team. You're talking about the 2014 season. This isn't the past, you can't possibly know we are a Final Four team in 2014 until after the season ends. I get that you were saying the team is potentially a Final Four team. Your entire post was all potentials. I am saying there is not a "good chance" of that potential being realized for Marquette, like you said in your post there was.

Our best transfer, a guy who helped a good team become a Final Four team, is an easy choice for me: Robert Jackson.

Best JUCO ... several to choose, each with a strong claim. Bob Lackey was an intimidating stud. Jae Crowder followed up a season as a valuable contributor on a Sweet 16 team to being one of the best players in the entire nation and leading another Sweet 16 run. Darius Johnson-Odom was a consistent scorer and really tough dude for three years. Jerome Whitehead played center on our one and only national championship team, hitting the winning bucket to get us to the title game; he went on to have the second-best FG pct in school history. Jimmy Butler was an outstanding defender, clutch scorer who used hard work to turn himself into a first-round draft pick. Lloyd Walton and Sam Worthen were two of the best point guards in school history.

For individual accomplishment, I'd go with Jae. For impact on a special team, Whitehead.

Best transfers: Jim Boylan and Jerome Whitehead. They were part of and lead MU to the National Championship.

All other transfers should be "which was the most talented". To answer that, I go with Lloyd Walton and Sam Worthen.
