Post total is inversely related to penis size.

And terrible at rigging elections

Isn't Skat a chick, or am I having a senior moment?  If that's correct, does 3,200+ posts = 0

BTW, Van's latest tweet:  "For every dark night.....there is a brighter day."  Hidden meanings?

You are having a senior moment.

He finally saw the end of the newest Batman movie.

Carter-Williams of the Cuse leaving.  Another first rounder.  More to follow.

I've been one of the biggest Vander supporters since day 1, but Vander is NOT a 1st round pick.  Be smart Van, and come back one more year.

Vander is very similar to Wes.  Look at the numbers Wes only shot 33% from three his junior year compared to vanders 30%.  But Vander also scored 14.8 compared to Wes's 11.8.  Vander is on a very similar path as Wes and I believe he could have the exact same outcome in the NBA.

Numbers don't tell the whole story there. Wes was very limited in Crean's offense. You could better see what he was capable of his senior year.

I think this year was as productive as Van will be offensively. He'll always be limited by the shotput jumper.

Van's not on anyone's radar at the moment other than for 2014.

Vander has next year to make his case:
Possible 1st Team All-BE
Possible BE POY
Possible Top-25 ranking for the whole season
Possible Top BE Finish
Possible Deep Run in March

Next year will definitely be his year; I don't think Buzz will be holding him back much like he let Zar, Jimmy, DJO, Jae, and Junior lead their teams during their senior campaigns.

2013-14 is The Year of the Blue

Lots of logic in this post.

Don't forget, though ... logic and common sense often have little to do with these decisions!

[jficke13]

I've said it before, if scouts and good talent evaluators agree he's a 1st rd lock he should go and never look back. I think his situation is one where he might be a 1st rd, he might be a 2nd rd, he might go undrafted. There's just a lot of uncertainty in this draft and draft class so it's hard to know what his "real" spot is going to be.

[muwarrior97]

The Bilastrator has him coming back....looks good for Marq, expectations will be high and disrespect card in shredder

Let me tell you guys why losing Vander is not end of this run.


THIS IS NOT THE MARQUETTE OF 2000-2006

We are now in a spot where we can absorb a loss of a star player to the NBA draft and still be in a good spot.   We are almost at the point where we can just say "Next Man Up"  If Blue goes which I think he will (I have no inside information just a hunch)  their are a few things we need to remember

1. We lost two great  players last year and we did okay
2. We Add another Marquette player into the NBA hopefully
3. The Badgers will add 3 new players to the Kazahkstani League A Basketball (see Badgers develop pros too  )
4.Immediate minutes for the likes of Jujuan (Can never remember his last name)
5. Helps recruiting when 3 years in a row  a likely first round pick comes out of school.


I hope Blue stays.  But if he does not.... Not the end of the world!

If Crean didn't get the three amigos, I think it would've been the end of the world!

I agree. With Buzz's rep and now with Chew on board, MU will be hitting the recruiting trail hard as card carrying back-to-back-to-back Sweet 16 coaches with a program on the ascent.

[onepost]

Burke to announce he's NBA bound tomorrow per Jeff Goodman.

[real chili 83]

Also per Goodman...

250 transfers so far.  Expect 300. 

How many d1 teams?

[MU Buff]

347 but I would think most transfers are in the top 150 of college basketball teams

#4 - It's Johnson.

#5 - It would be 4 years, not 3.

2010- Lazar
2011- Jimmy
2012- Jae
2013- Blue

Jae wasn't a first-round pick.
