With this looming cataclysm...

...why in the hell would Lockett commit to a program whose roster was on verge of gutting?  Outside of proximity to his mom, it seems to me that he wants win - could he do so with a diminished roster?   

[madtownwarrior]

maybe he has a preference to join a "SLU-like" team...

Durley and Jamil Jones meant that much?

Bacause MU offers a Masters Degree in a field that ASU doesnt offer

    A)  What Canadian Dimes said.

    B)  Because he thinks he has a better chance to win at MU then at Iowa State which will be rebuilding again with transfers.  It's one thing to add transfers to fill out your roster, its another to make them the corner of your recruiting strategy.

    C)  No Royce White at Iowa State this year.

    D)  No space at the Inn at the University of Minnesota.

     E)  When Bo heard that Lockett averaged 13 points last year, he said that Lockett must have been a ball hog.

Maybe because he wants to be coached by someone who has two consecutive first round picks in a row.  Because he coached a juco who was BE POY.  Because his new coach has been a sweet 16 coach two years in a row.  Maybe because he wants to go to a school that is a storied bball school.  Maybe because he sees a team with a ton of potential that could go a long ways with his senior+ leadership.  Maybe because he sees Buzz as someone who can bring out the best in him.  Maybe because.....

No offense, but your post makes you sound like a badger troll.

Bo called shenanigans because 13 points is almost as much as UW scores in a game.

Thanks for the answer - no offense taken.  No troll.  Based on the information available, the armageddon scenario lacks a spot in logic.  Worn MU blue to the Field House/Kohl more times than I can count.  Marquette, College of Arts and Sciences, 1992.

I fall into the camp that the Hiroshima theory is overblown.  If we lose a player due to grades, so be it.  We (as MU alum) managed to make it to graduation. Athletes should be held to the same standard too for their gpa.

The paranoia about hiroshima is very understandable.  Apparently, Buzz was very close to leaving, due to head butting with Lawrence, the domer.  When this board got wind of this, MUScoop morphed/melted down into a 120 page thread on Buzz's potential departure (only 30 pages of it were diverted to walleye fishing).  My point is that the Buzz to SMU posts fueled overblown speculation on what should be expected transfers at the end of a season.

Maybe the players that MU might lose play his position, which gives him more playing time. He would not come to MU, if he did not believe he will start.

He knows that there's only one man who can help Buzz and LW reconcile their differences: Trent MF Lockett.

So the "F" has been retired, but the "MF" is fair game?

Thanks. Someone hit the essence of our program right on the head. Nobody could have said it better!

Thanks, but Chicahoops could have one upped me.  He does it to everyone. 

Speaking of Chicahoops, haven't seen him post lately.  Did the Mods put him a time-out?

Maybe he (like many, or was it hundreds, or perhaps thousands?) chose to stop posting here due to horrible people like me

I think there was a group timeout due to political commentary.

Strangely enough, Hoopaloop hasn't posted anything since he strayed well out of bounds with some comments about Warthog and DU.  Either he's vacationing in California with the himself, I mean, the bail bondsman or he has been suspended.

In a second beer summit?

I believe that "MF" was trademarked by Oliver Lee. He could not speak any sentence without throwing in a couple MFs. He had a sweet shot but he was not majoring in Electrical Engineering.

Emily Litella: "What's all this fuss I hear about 'booming catechism' at Marquette, as if it's a big problem? Why, when I went to MU back in the day, Gesu was full to the brim with students every Sunday morning, and those that couldn't fit in went instead to the Sunday night service at Tower Hall. Those were the days, I tell you. The basketball team sucked, but catechism was booming all over campus. I'll be glad if this Herosheema thing happens because of booming catechism. And that churchy coach Buzz is just the guy to lead us to the promised land. Bring it on, I say!"

Chevy: "Pardon me, Emily, but the concern is about a 'looming cataclysm' not 'booming catechism.' They say it could be a real bad scene at The Al if it comes to pass."

Emily: "Oh, that's different. Never mind."

Hiroshima is a fine jazz ensemble. Not sure what that has to do with MU basketball.

Not in California.   No suspension or timeout.  Did you know Warthog was in the military?

Sorry you couldn't make the summit in CA.

Too bad there was no suspension or timeout.

I am aware that Warthog was in the military.

Nice to have a veteran on the forum.  No meltdown with the program.  Buzz will be here for at least 5 more years.  All is happy in MU Land.
