Juan Anderson

It seems like quite a few of you guys think that Steve is going to come back from his knee surgery fairly quickly.

[willie warrior]

Gotta figure 1 or more of the newbies start by the start of the conference season.

That should happen. Mayo has been too inconsistent and has had other problems. Get Triple J in there. IMO the best line up wpuld be:
C Otule/Gardner/ McKay
PF Gardner/McKay/Taylor
WF Wilson/Burton/Anderson
PG Du. Wilson/De. Wilson/Dawson
SG JJJ/Mayo/Thomas

Re: Stevie, Jr. - I thought I saw where it was some kind of congenital growth or something - if so, likely not actually in the joint itself and a quick rehab.

He still will be missing the ProAm and other game-like activities.

Unlike Juan last summer however, he still will be able to shoot and the like

[Sunbelt15]

Is anyone predicting a "final four" next year or are we equal to what we had (another sweet 16 or elite 8)?

It seems like Buzz over estimates recovery times and that is what I am hoping for.

Yep, it was definitely a thing that had been growing in his knee for some time. I know nothing about doctoring, but I saw that they were expecting him to take about 4 months to recover.  That seems like a serious thing to go through, imo.

It seems live Buzz over estimates recovery times and that is what I am hoping for.

I hope you're right!

I hope Juan can put on 10 to 15 pounds of muscle this summer, it would really help him.

Marquette wasn't interested in Drew Crawford.

I sat next to a Northwestern assistant on an airplane about a month ago.  I asked, "I have to ask you, did any other school tamper with Drew Crawford."

He said, "Oh yeah, definitely."  Then he paused and said, "Marquette for sure."

L.A., ok, I'll bite......what does this have to do with Juan coming back?

meaning that if Crawford had come to Marquette then Juan wouldnt have came back.

Apart from the atrocious grammar I would be rather surprised that a staffer from Northwestern would have any comment on alleged NCAA rules violations involving another school. And certainly not to a stranger on an airline flight. But other than that your tale is wholly believeable.

Yeah, I am usually not one to rip on one-time posters, but this is way too much of a cliche to be believable.

It's interesting that when you posted this garbage on Buckyville a month ago it was "someone connected" with Northwestern.  Now its an assistant coach. If we wait another month it might be the athletic director or school president.

Yeah, the guy connected to Northwestern has morphed into an assistant coach and the possibility that Crawford was indirectly contacted (which would be speculation) has morphed into tampering. Usually a story gets exaggerated as it's passed on from person to person. This guy did it with his own story, which indicates he made the whole thing up just to stir the pot.

[WarriorFan]

Great to see Juan returning.  I hope this didn't disrupt his improvement.  I see him in the Lockett role.  Boards, hustle, defence ( although he needs to be smarter), and weak side spacing.  15-18 mins.  8ppg. 5 rpg.  Ok, 8 is ambitious but I don't see the newcomers figuring things out so he needs to score at least 6 ppg.

The concluding statement from his post on "Buckyville" is most telling,

"Buzz is just despicable."

Lucas Anderson only seeks the truth.

Well, you basically outed Taveras Hardy as he was the only assistant named and in place on Collins' staff who would have been involved with Crawford....I am sure he appreciates you spreading this rumor.

[TallTitan34]

Taveras Hardy

Do you have a source about Bo tampering with Ben Brust?

Not that interested in that one huh?

How can you tamper with a kid that has graduated and is allowed to open his recruitment and take three visits under the rules in which he was in (those of a kid that can play one year without sitting out to attend graduate school).

I'm just curious how that is tampering?

Because it's Bull Sh1t, Chico.
