Badger fans would be pissed!

Yea, that would be pretty awesome.

I would love to have him here. Nice end to a quiet week.

[chapman]

The irony is too much to pass up.  If Bo didn't have his hissy fit and just kept the restricted list at B1G schools and MU in the first place nobody would have said a thing.

[Groin_pull]

I can appreciate the opportunity to stick it to Bo, but is this guy any good? Has anyone seen him play?

[warthog-driver]

He is quite traditional in his game and really better suited for UW Madison than MU.

Not once Pilarz and the domer are done with our program...

He is skilled.   You can probably still find his highlight film somewhere.    If you do, watch it back-to-back with Juan's, contemplate how much faster Juan was as a HS senior, and then remember how much Juan struggled as a freshman.    But, since JU would be nearly 3 years removed from that tape by the time he would play an actual game at MU, perhaps he will have sped up.

As I said, perhaps he is better suited for Bo's schemes

One might have said the same thing about Novak, but he turned out OK at Marquette. And a player just like him would still be OK in Buzz's system.

The whole "traditional" thing -- as portrayed repeatedly by many on this board -- is dopey. I guess Larry Bird would have been too traditional, too.

The concept of "Traditional Player" was introduced on this board a while ago by Chicos Bail Bonds. It is used mockingly by others who are taking the piss out of The Bail Bondsman (except Hoop who is in fact Chicos in disguise.)

I generally do not pay attention to poster names. However, your name seems to be on a lot of posts I could do without.

Seems odd, since he did not want to play Bo's style. How, do you know? Have you actually seen him play?

I've seen him play in person a bunch (AAU mostly, a little high school).  I think Bo's plans for him may have changed a bit over the first year (and the roster has changed).

Really, I thought Uthoff was a great fit for Wisconsin and would do really well there.  A couple of his Iowa Barnstormer teammates did very well as freshman -- Seth Tuttle at Northern Iowa and Josh Oglesby at Iowa (Wes Washpun at Tenn was a stretch).

He's fairly long and bouncy for a traditional and is a tall kid that can score from multiple levels.  Also would mix it up fairly well on the glass despite being a slim... not sure his best fit is MU, but I'd bring him in just for the giggle effect... plus, he's actually a pretty good player.

I'm guessing, in the end, Buzz has too much respect for Ryan to take on this transfer.

I could care less what you think. You're the guy who calls Buzz an arsehole. Go eff yourself.

[augoman]

I'd love to have him.  Anything resembling Novak's shooting coupled with height is great.  His frame makes me think he'd be more able to adapt to MU's style than Gardner, and yet we play great (albeit differently) when DG is in.

[Groin_pull]

Too much respect for Ryan? Screw that. If Uthoff doesn't fit with MU...fine, pass on him. But don't do it because of Bo Ryan. That should be the least of MU's concerns. MU needs to worry about MU....not about that vampire in Madison.

we already pulled vander out from under his nose, and wes has talked a bit as well.  i'm not thinking buzz cares what bo thinks...it's whether or not the kids a good fit for mu and wants to be here.

[Groin_pull]

That's how it should be. If he can help MU, go after him. If not, take a pass. Bo Ryan should not enter into the equation at all.

Not a good visual for Vander!

I think Buzz does care what Bo thinks.  That doesn't mean that he won't go head to head with him in recruiting battles, and I am not sure if he wouldn't take the transfer, but Buzz most certainly respects Bo.

I agree. Number one, Buzz is old school about respecting his elders. In addition, it seems they have built something of a relationship over the past 5 years.
