Luke Fischer transferring from I4

I think we can apply a pretty loose definition for "homesickness" here. ;)

Germantown to Ames is 5 hrs 40 min per Google Maps.
Germantown to Bloomington is 5 hrs 31 min per Google Maps.

Iowa State would kinda shoot the homesickness thing out of the water.  I could see MU, one of the UW schools or perhaps a Chicago-area school....

True, of course it's not always that cut and dry either.  Home sickness can also be overcome with relatives in the area, as well.  You can go to a school twice as far away but if you have family there, it changes the equation.  My family, for example, did a lot of business in the Milwaukee Chicago Fon Du Lac area so going to MU, even though I knew no one at MU, it was pretty cool because there were a few visits from family on business trips that doubled up on me seeing them more often than just Christmas holiday.  That kind of stuff.

I think it will be MU or UW-madison, but who knows.    As for Connie's comments...may be accurate.  Usually it is never one thing, but a culmination of things.  Any MU fan should know that more than anyone after all the transfers here in the last 15 years.

My feeling is Green Bay.   I think the loss of a year of eligibility is the stopper for the Badgers.  Plus, IIRC, they may not have a scholarship to give.   

Would make a ton of sense - none of the issues the intra-conference transfer brings, I think they have a spot for him so none of the potentially paying his own way, close enough to home, need Alec Brown's successor to step in immediately to make a run next year, especially with only losing one other contributor if Sykes sticks around.

BTW, I think his family moved to the Wisconsin Rapids area for his mom's job.  He is an only child.

Except for the fact that he is a top 100 prospect with likely NBA aspirations and UWGB and the Horizon League really isn't the path to get there.

Then Terry Porter's alma mater, UW-SP, would make the most sense.

Sounds like Creighton, Marquette and Butler have inquired about Fischer from the Big East along with pretty much every other conference.  I know Creighton recruited him pretty hard out of high school.

Reel em in Buzz.
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.

Does he have to make a decision before school starts to be eligible next December?  If so, that means he has to make a decision in the next 2 weeks.

My gut feeling is that it will be UW.  Only thing possibly slowing it down are ramifications from intra-conference transfer.

Also if this situation were different we would be hearing about how Buzz ran off George Marshall so that he could bring in Fischer and that clearly we were tampering all along...

UW wasn't in his top 5 coming out of HS. Things can change but Fischer cut them pretty quickly. I think many of us our jumping to UW simply because he is a white boy from Germantown.

There are more connections than that.  He played AAU on the Wisconsin Swing with the likes of Bronson Koenig.  He played for Schowalter at Germantown, who played for Bo and whose son currently is a walk on at UW.

There are actually some pretty strong connections to UW that frankly MU doesn't replicate.

Oh I agree.  I think he could end up at MU.  But the idea that he is linked more with UW because he is white and from Germantown is just false.

I hope he comes to Marquette. We could use a dose of good news now.

As expected, the race to get Indiana transfer Luke Fischer is intense. Wisconsin, Marquette, Nebraska, Minnesota, Arizona, Florida ...

Butler, Creighton, Memphis, Miami, Drake, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Iowa, Colorado, Ill. State, Ball State, Wake Forest and others involved.

Out of respect for coach Crean and Indiana university I will not be considering any big 10 schools during this process

If we nab Fischer does that mean Harris might be out?

Glad I was wrong on that one.  Improves our chance a good bit.  It'll be interesting to see if he gives serious consideration to UWGB and UWM.
