McKay Commits to Marquette!

[MU82]

Guys, I'm talking Christian Laettner, Greg Paulus, JJ Redick, Josh McRoberts, Kyle Singler, Ryan Kelly here.  Obviously I'd love for MU to win titles, but if I had my druthers I'd roll with Jimmy, DJO, Crowder, & McKay any day of the week over those guys on the way to hanging that banner.

Laettner was a douchebag. Also one of the most accomplished college basketball players ever. I'd take his clone, or maybe a couple of them, on my team anytime. I'd take Redick and Singler, too, of course, as would any intelligent basketball fan.

Why does this always have to be an either-or for some on this board? "Tough, hardscrabble, Buzz-type JUCO" or "prissy Dookie." Ugh. We have to choose the type of great players we want, I guess.

You know, given the same choice, I'm thinking Duke fans will choose the championship players.

[MU82]

i don't know if prissy is the word, but i have very little love for most duke players.  i just hope coach k didn't sit down with doc and tell him his kid's decision was ruining the duke program like he did brand's. 

If memory serves, Coach K supported Brand's decision but questioned Avery's. Given their respective career earnings, K was right.

"Milwaukee's Finest?"    "Cream of the Cream City's Crop?"

While Milwaukee may be the Cream City, it rolls off the tongue like a broken down car with triangular wheels.

And should it come out that Milwaukee was the cream city because of its bricks, well I as an opposing fan could have some fun with that.

[4everwarriors]

Yep, Crimson and Crean city.

I thought you dated Ralph Nimcey.

Or nipsy Russell.

Welcome 2 the Warriors, Jameel!!!

Enlund will provide complete coverage....next fall

[BCHoopster]

Since I have never seen him play, does he start in 2 years?  His he better than JWill or STaylor.  He talks like he wants to become a pro, they all do.  But does he have the talent?  He definitely is not a center and has a body of a small forward.  In 2014, MU needs a center to come into and start?  Any names yet.

Not even a mention of this in the Sunday edition of the Urinal Sentinel. Unreal. Friggin' terrible, TERRIBLE coverage by them. Too bad someone murdered Rosiak.

Let me go out on a limb and state that our starting lineup in 2014 will not include a center that hasn't already been discussed.  Perhaps Taylor, Anderson and McKay.

Well done!  Outstanding!  +10000000000

McKay commits (a JUCO with some work to do still), we hire away a top assistant from Illinois for mucho dinero, Buzz doesn't go to SMU, we're playing a national game on an aircraft carrier, more transfers likely on the way (Buzz has flexibility to do this), etc


The thumb that Larry Williams and Pilarz are pushing on Buzz is incredible.  Not sure how he is going to get anything done.

Well, without using the sarcasm, it seems like Buzz is doing things he likes (hiring a guy he knows for big $, landing another JUCO talent).

Maybe the alleged "friction" was simply personality based, not really professionally based?

Who knows.

Anyways, the off season so far has been very good for MU. If MU can keep this roster together for the next few years, they will be very good/deep. Love it.

Hoop
You are correct that a done of good news in the past week. Hope we getting mor and more good news.i

And maybe Buzz and LW, being adults and all, simply sat down and hashed it all out.  Time will tell.

Well that would be just preposterous!

We'll know at the BBQ.

If Buzz wipes sauce off Larry's face, it's true love.

If he doesn't, then let the speculation begin.

Not to correct you but I think its really more about the color smoke coming out of the BBQ

[mu-rara]

Fixed.  At least a decade later Pavia tried to shake Hank Raymonds hand, and Raymonds wouldn't do it, and I don't blame him.

Excellent.

While Milwaukee may be the Cream City, it rolls off the tongue like a broken down car with triangular wheels.

Okay, then with a historical/linguistic nod to Pere Marquette, how about "Creme de la Cremeville?"

[Lennys Tap]

I hope that over time Buzz develops the same type of close relationship with Fr Pilarz and Larry Williams that he had with Fr Wild and Steve Cottingham.

Regardless, the basketball news recently (Du Wilson, Chew, McKay) is all good. Marquette fans should be excited.

Agree. I'm just poking fun at our reactions to things we say/hear. We don't really know 99% of the story, but that doesn't stop us from speculating using the 1% we do know.

News has been great and hope it just th start of better things for the program. Has been a good week to b a Warrior fan.

Mick sources tell me Buzz has been practicing his Irish Jig.
