[PaintTouches]Shayok commits to Marquette, bigs still on the radar

Bigs still on the radar.....


That is going to be the name of my new band.   Describes MU perfectly for much of the last 25 years (with some exceptions)

It will be interesting to see where McKay ends up.  I just can't understand where he can go and get playing time this year.  Wouldn't it have made more sense for him to stay and redshirt if he wanted to get solid minutes for two years?  Maybe, that wasn't an option due to the 2015 scholarship situation.

The way I understand it - with him being enrolled at MU, he can't play this year or first semester next year after transferring.  His only chance to play 2 full seasons is at MU.

Interesting that the article says Buzz plans on signing 2 bigs

Chicos--how dare you blaspheme.

[Lennys Tap]

Especially given the Tory Miller news.

What news is that?

What news is that?

Pretty much a Colorado lean.  Even Mark Miller posted that prediction on 247.

Major Colorado lean

"Chico and the Misfits". Music that brings you back to those fabulous 50s. Chico as lead singer/songwriter and lead guitar, Hoop and 84 sing harmonies, Willie bangs on the (same old ) drum. I smell platinum.

No Lenny, you have it wrong. With McKay sliding out, Buzz bangs out the same old drum with bigs. Durley, Mbao, Roseboro, Williams, and so on. But I am still confident that at some point Buzz will land a quality big stud.  The others mentioned above were not wanted or were not studs.

Pierce is visiting PITT today and is a lean towards them.

willie, the next time you post an original thought will be the first time since you started bitching about bigs. When was that? Oh yeah...your third post over 5 years ago.

I sure hope we win today, but do not see it happening based on our prior two BE road games.

It seems like the same thing the past few years. We play a cupcake schedule the first half of the year against mostly patsies, all at home, which does nothing to prepare us for league play. In addition, we haven't had any inside game for about 5 years. Having 6 rotating guards with  absolutely nobody to compete with the bigs of the other BE just gets us killed by those type of teams.

When will Crean get two quality big men to play on the floor at the same time, so that we do not get mrdered by the other big teams?

There is at least one dissenting opinion on where Pierce is headed.  Plus, I heard he was visiting MU later this month.

I'll be interested to see where Pierce stands come Tuesday or Wednesday. If he gets out of Pitt without a commit, we could be in good shape. But until the Pitt visit is done coupled with a confirmed date to visit MU, I won't be getting too psyched up.

And even with Miller, it looks like despite him not committing early to CU and visiting us last, we are still likely to miss out.

Does anyone think Jameel's departure had anything to do with a big man recruit coming that is still unannounced?

Nope - a combination of all the reported / speculated reasons. If Cliff Alexander and Okafor all of a sudden decided they couldn't live without Marquette, that would be great, but that ain't happening.

I guess we can expect Jahlil Okafor or Myles Turner to commit any day now then huh?

There is no reason for him to ciommit right away to Pitt. I do not think Pitt has any commitments at all, so it is not like he has to worry about Pitt running out of scholarships.

There was no rush for Burton, Duane Wilson, Nick Noskowiak, or Philip Flory to commit to Marquette, yet they all did. These schools work hard to get guys to commit as soon as possible because they know there's a chance of losing them. Just because he doesn't have to commit doesn't mean Jamie Dixon and his staff won't be doing everything in their power to ensure he does sooner rather than later.

My thoughts exactly, not exactly "news".

Holy sheet that is great!!
Almost 6 years Willie--keep it up!

Thank you Brew. I have long been impressed by your original thoughts which I am sure have served you well throughout your life.

You must have lots of time on your hands to search back 5 years to see what I said. Sad to say that I would not waste the same amount of time on you. Hope you have fun reading about 2000 plus posts. Sounds like a bureaucrat.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he didn't search through all your posts.  He probably went to your posts, went back to the beginning, and started reading there.  It wouldn't have taken long to get to your third post.  In fact, I just did the same thing to see how long it would take (less than 30 seconds) and realized that maybe brewcity77 was a little generous.  Your second post on scoop (three days earlier): "Getting Killed underneath. Barro is useless. Abysmal shooting. Remind anybody of MSU last year. This is atrocious."  I think that could fairly be characterized as "bitching about bigs."

At least your first post, "WHAT A JOKE!" was positive...or not.
