Noskowiak Committed

[Babybluejeans]

"I just followed me heart," Noskowiak said.

I don't know if that was a typo in the ny2lasports.com article but if he's really a traditional that TALKS LIKE A LEPRECHAUN I will be REALLY EFFING excited about 2015.

Not sure how factual the information from their board is, but I don't like hearing that Diamond Stone's parents aren't impressed by Buzz and find him to be "insincere."

No idea if its true in this situation, but I could totally see it. I know I rolled my eyes when buzz seriously tried putting Russell Wilson and Trent Lockett in the same conversation. He is way over the top and think he acts up the emotion. That said, a lot of recruits love it and their opinion matters more than mine.

Buzz's comparison of Wilson and Lockett was in terms of stepping into a new team, being a leader from day one and, more importantly, being accepted by teammates as a leader from day one.

Their hatred only gets worse as Buzz's team continue to beat Bo's team - 2 years in a row and counting now...

It's ridiculous the bitterness on that board. I mean the dude has 2 yrs of high school left and does nothing but keep on improving his stock. The majority on that board feel we r reaching and assume UW passed even tho someone said UW has seen him play 10 times.
I didn't grow up in WI and just don't understand the level of hatred from them. It truly is on another level.

Did you see a different quote than me or putting words in Buzz's mouth.

"What he could use is another free-agent signing like Trent Lockett. "But those guys are one in 100,000," Williams said. "I've never seen any beside Russell Wilson and what Trent did for us have that kind of impact." "

You do not put Wilson and Lockett in the same comparison even. Leading as a QB like that is different than leading like Lockett. Wilson had to bring both the skill and emotional leadership where Lockett was just emotional.

I've heard Buzz discuss it on a few other occasions. If you want to be upset about the comparison anyway, go right ahead.

Directly comparable.  Both used graduate exemption to transfer and play immediately, and were strong contributors.

meanwhile, back on Nick.  Is there a mixtape or video footage out there on him?

I'm not upset but just saying some people like me find Buzz over the top. We are talking about Trent Lockett who had a big impact but Buzz makes it into an incredible story. Or any time he talks about how nobody believes in his team, etc. It like listening to Bill Walton some times.

I'm not sure what's got your knickers in a bunch here.
Wilson was a key player - but hardly the only one - on a Wisconsin team that won its conference and was one of 10 teams to earn a BCS bid.
Lockett was a key player - but hardly the only one - on a Marquette team that won its conference and was one of 8 teams to advance to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.

Is your ire directed at the fact Wilson is better at his respective game? OK. But Buzz didn't say anything contrary to that.

I found this on youtube.  Its not really a complete highlight reel, but gives some ideas on what he's capable of.  Do note, that the video is to showcase two players and not just Nick.  I'm sure there will be more videos to come out over the next couple of years.

I can't go on that Bucky board, there noses are so far up in the air, the rationale is sideways. No way we should
be able to compete with a huge state school like that. Really hard to even pull for the football team.

Really hard? Try impossible. Love it when they crash and burn—especially in the Rose Bowl. It warms my heart to watch those pasty, chubby Becky backers waddle back to the airport after their team lays another egg in Pasadena.

I was just saying Buzz goes over the top. The 1 in a 100,000 talk or being passionate about everything. I said I get annoyed with people who are consistently over the top. All I was saying was I could see how a family could feel Buzz is insincere. I also said that is a strength of his and how some players love that about him. I also said it doesn't matter what I think and that as long he recruits top players I don't care. You can't win us all with the same personality.

Now if Stone comes---GREAT!  Ellenson would be super get with Stone.

[Ari Gold]

Highly Ranked kid from Sun Prairie... Great get in UW's back yard
Surprisingly early for a 2015 class player but I'm not complaining

[Tums Festival]

Might be true, might not.  Can't please everyone, can't land every recruit. 

I'm hoping it's just Becky-fueled B.S. since they want to sign him as badly as we do. I just don't like seeing that out there since Stone would be the biggest signing for MU in decades.

[Groin_pull]

Might be true, might not.  Can't please everyone, can't land every recruit. 

And I'm sure Bo Ryan's dazzling personality has swept the entire Stone family off its collective feet. 

I like MU's chances with Buzz, thank you.

I thoroughly enjoy watching them fail, regardless the sport.  I'm sure Platypus typically cries for several hours in his Bucky footie pajamas after each Rose Bowl defeat before he can write his Urinal Sentinel article.  And then he goes to the UW Scout board so they can cry together.

And cry they do...

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Badger fans are the effin worst.

[Groin_pull]

Badger fans are the effin worst.

I understand why Yankees fans...Lakers fans...and fans of powerhouse college teams like Kentucky, Kansas in hoops...or Alabama and USC in football are arrogant. I don't like it...but I can understand it.

With Becky, I have no idea where the arrogance comes from. Maybe they're feeling cocky because they own the sport of women's hockey.

some would say having a sports hall of fame for a county is over the top....to each their own...

I do as well, just saying different strokes for different folks.  You can't win them all, would love to get every guy on our list but if we don't we will be just fine.

[Hards Alumni]

I would bet my entire life savings that Diamond Stone does not attend UW.

Depends on how big the county is I suppose.  LA County, population 10 million.  Orange County, population 3 million.  They can have a sports hall of fame. Then again, if a small county of 100K wants to have a hall of fame for civic pride, to each their own.
