Lockett to Marquette?

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

People....people...people...Please, don't do this to yourselves. 

Is this a "fluid situation" like SMU?

You said MU would become SLU, but obviously that hasn't happened (yet).

[Canadian Dimes]

My guess is Lockett and Vander start and Mayo still gets a ton of minutes.  Similar to last year but he may get even more as my guess is Lockett does not get quite as many minutes as DJO got. 

Great battle for minutes for those guys heathy competiton will only make them better

Why would they wait and possibly make the kid look bad if he is forced out? Having them transfer early on own accord looks better for kid and school. I see no reason why the school would benefit from delaying the news. Would hope if they are making example of kid(s) it would be done in private to protect the kid and PR for school. No reason that could cause forced transfer is not known by school weeks ago. Not saying transfers cannot or will not happen but I see no positive for anyone delaying things.

Plus, Sultan, if Lockett comes, then I think you are right about Jake. He won't see the floor for more than 5min as Lockett addresses the biggest weakness of shooting (which is why I thought Jake might play).

While Lockett had a good 3 point % (41), it was on a very small sample. He's not a shooter - gets most of his points off penetration and at the line. He basically a more refined though slightly less athletic version of Blue.

Super subs:
Gardner
TJ Taylor
Steve Taylor
D. Wilson

That's a solid 10 man rotation with Anderson, Jones, Ferguson, and Thomas potentially making some noise as well.

I would definately put Anderson in that super sub list.  I could see him having a soph season like Jimmy B's first season.  I think he is ahead of Steve T.  Also got to wonder about D. Wilson.  Without 2 superstars on the court he has to run the offense better and score some or we can't have him out there.

Yeah...I know.

Lockett isn't officially here yet and we haven't heard of any departures.  A man can dream right?

Because some things must wait until the end of the semester to be sure.  (ie., academics)

Aaron Durley, your sacrifice for Lockett will go down in history.  Should we retire his number or hang a banner?

[Dr. Blackheart]

Where can I get sources?  Seems like everyone and their father has a "source" these days.

My sources tell me, 9 times out of 10 using the term source on anonymous message is pretty frackin' lame.

The kid's 15 minutes just got extended to 30.       Was right on Wilson.

If someone is struggling with grades that has been known for quite some time. I do not buy grades being an issue because that is monitored daily. Guru has impled this is done deal, so finals really do not come in to play. Again, I would think, if grade issue, a classy departure with the other 9,000 transfers around the country would make more sense. No inside scoop here, just thinking out loud.

Quick transfer with rest of national transfers seems more logical to me. Even if being forced out I would think the school would want kids best interest in mind. If that is the case, a transfer in last two weeks is better for kid.

Totally fair.

Career he is 34%, with his best percentage and highest volume coming last year (21-51) which makes me optimistic.

He's not a pure shooter (as you correctly stated), but he's an upgrade in shooting from what we have, which is several guards shooting 33% or worse, and Jamil Wilson leading the team at 35%.

Need to get something outside next year... otherwise I'm afraid MU will lead the universe in charges as opposing teams pack it in and rotate.

Arizona State transfer Trent Lockett visits Iowa State today, per a source. Marquette is thought to be the leader for him.


if he is visiting ISU today, I doubt he is a "lock" for marquette. - ISU has great burritos and some fine females, they might sway him.

Was he? He announced that Wilson had verbally committed on June 8. I don't think that's true.

[MUBurrow]

If Lockett were here, I would think that he would start with Vander over Todd, just from a height perspective if nothing else.

Vander - 6'4"
Todd - 6'3"
Lockett - 6'5"

The two inches between Lockett and Mayo is big when you're talking about playing the 3.

Not that I am defending the kid as I posted it as a joke...but it looks like Wilson officially committed June 27

Vander would start over Todd because of his D. Those 2 plus Lockett will likely see the floor together at times too, with VB running the point.

No banners until we finish with a #6 ranking or better.

I think Todd is going to take a bigger step forward this year than is even expected of him.

If he does, and Lockett does show up, they can be better than expected.  They will have alot of depth, 10 solid kids, practice should be fun!

[PGsHeroes32]

If Lockett comes here I LOVE IT. We will be a much better team and actually have a chance to make some noise if people develop and hes an amazing 1 year bridge to a team most people think will be deadly(2013)

He will start, no doubt about it. Look for Mayo to get his opportunity to play a Dion Waiters role(boy would this be awesome).

[MattyWarrior]

I like TL and hope its true, as he could help with the loss of DJO. But I still think Jaes loss is greater because he did a
little of everything, especially leadership. Where does that come from next year?

[ATWizJr]

where's bma when we need him?

Itll be tough but hopefully Jamil takes a big leap, Davante should be even more dominate and hopefully Chris is healthy because we didnt have him pretty much at all.

Jae impact cant be replaced, but we have options that can fill some void I hope.

[reinko]

where's bma when we need him?

I blame Chicos.

[MU B2002]

I blame Chicos.

Don't.

[Clam Crowder]

Nothing official on Lockett yet, He is at ISU today. I trust Borzello much more than a random source.
