Recruiting

[BCHoopster]

Since it is mainly been a Bret Bielema week, any recruits at the Game tomorrow?  Besides Paul White and Looney, any big men in the mix?

Dominican doesn't have a game so I wouldn't be suprised if Stone and Wilson show up.

If the big names are in the BMO, we have no choice BUT to win. I have no doubt that we will. But WI will be pissed about last year, hopefully our guys are even more pissed about Florida.

If being pissed were all it takes to win, Bobby Knight wouldn't have stopped winning NCAA tourney games his last 15 years of coaching.

Not only that, but WTF does "we have no choice BUT to win" even mean?  Winning isn't a choice.

You're right about that, Sultan. I think when I write my book, the title will be: "We wanted it more than they did."

Because the team that wins always wants it more.

So talent plays no role?  If this team wants it bad enough, you would argue they could beat The Heat.

Would forcing a clearly superior opponent into a stalemate be considered a win?  Because if so, we totally killed Ohio State this year.

He was being sarcastic. The idea that "the team that wanted it more" is what separates the winner from loser, comes directly from meathead fans that like to spout lame sports cliches to explain results.

Most rational fans can attest to talent, execution, and strategy being the main difference in most contests.

Only if the Engineering School can explain how they got the condensation to work.

Didn't think I needed teal. I thought wrong.

I would appreciate an update if any of our prospective instate recruits were there. Thanks.

They put Stone on the Jumbo. Sadly the Bc was not packed with all scoopers and there was no reaction.

I fixed your post for you.

Stone is Ryan Evans' cousin by the way.  So if he was rooting for UW in any way, don't read too much into it.
