This guy has been pretty consistent for several months that he is close to the Hill camp.    Hopefully, this is as wrong as Shaka to MU.

Awfully big step down for Hill. That's no way to the league.

[Knight Commission]

I hope it's not true.  He would have been an all time great at Marquette.

#done deal?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

His mistake if he follows. I couldnt blame him if he went elsewhere but if he follows Buzz? Thats just not smart. Especially after everything that the players have said the past week you would thing that would be a major red flag for any Buzz recruit.

 How's a guy going to get noticed in the ACC?

That might be a little extreme, mixed with sour grapes and immediate venom. While no Brett apologist it isn't as though he has alienated himself with everyone who has come through the program.

I don't fault kids at all for asking out of their NLIs after a coach leaves.

Gonna showcase your skills when you're the only player worth extra attention?

[NickelDimer]

Best of luck to him. These changes have huge impacts on young kids.  Must be tough to deal with and makes for difficult decisions obviously

[Knight Commission]

Wasn't Buzz forced out of MU? Rumors are flying.   I hope Ahmed investigates this fully.

Undoubtedly not the spin Buzzard will feed Hill.

[LastWarrior]

Seems odd then that Hill would have MU all over his Twitter account.  Not buying he's made a decision yet.

And the quote... "this is isn't confirmed,and I haven't heard if he has even spoken with Wojo, but it's a strong hunch/educated guess after talking to bball folks I know in the Augusta area".

Sounds like another #donedeal to me

[AirPunches]

I'd be surprised if Hill follows buzz. I don't like MU's chances of keeping him either. I think hill sneaks on to a blue bloods roster next year.

[NavinRJohnson]

If he goes, he goes. Who cares? Just the business that is college BBall.

[MattyWarrior]

Looks like Mizzou to me, Brent won him here, but now they have 2 shooting guards leaving. I think our 2014 class is
mostly bust, but if everybody else stays, that's really a great start.

Why would anyone want to play much closer to home, in a top conference and for a coach that helped get Jimmy Butler and Jae Crowder into the NBA.  It makes no sense.

Do you have Equalizer on ignore?  Jae and JFB were destined to the NBA before they even heard of Buzz Williams.  In fact, Buzz is probably the reason that they aren't NBA all-stars.

[Tugg Speedman]

Because when you playing on a team that will be 10-23 next year, you will be double teamed and shutdown.  The only time a scout will watch you play is at an away game.  So, good luck getting noticed when your double teamed and your team is down by 18 in the second half at Cameron Indoor.  By that point the scouts have left for the evening after they have seen enough of Jabari (who you could not stop).

[Groin_pull]

Can't expect Wojo to instantly establish relationships with these recruits. Just not realistic. If Hill and/or Cohen leave...somehow I think MU will survive.

Certainly not the end of the world.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Then JJJ is transferring to Va. Tech, to be closer to home, play in a top conference and the chance to get to the NBA.   

[Knight Commission]

Seriously it's hard to get to Blacksburg. After going there once scouts hate it in the winter and never go back......that's why they have had only  9 NBA'ers in their history........compared to 100's of NFL' ers? Easier to get there on a SAT afternoon in the fall with the leaves.  Not the winter.  It sucks. Pain in the ass.   Ask Marcus Vick who would have been an NFL'er.

Academics are nice if you are trying to get from China, or an immigrant desperate to get into the US.  Everyone knows this in the US.  Even BUzzz who was grasping at straws and applied for VA Tech after being passed over for the Auburn ball  job (they chose pearl over buzz?......hint hint hint .). Buzz desperately wanted Auburn... Widely reported.  

We all know Buzz is a college ball whore. Texas, Wisconsin, Colorado! Virginia?, Louisiana? He goes where is best for him, not his family. Narcissist.

 Virginians who can't get into UVA for academic reasons, and non American citizens hoping to get an American experience before they return to their homeland are the only ones excited to be there.  Basketball is irrelevant there.... No one cares.  .. And the ones who go there will suffer.

This kids luster came off a bit recently. If we don't get him it is not the end of the world. There are plenty more like him out there.

What do you mean?

[Avenue Commons]

Try and remember players pick a school based on relationships with players on the team as well. Did you go to Marquette because of a professor?

Yeah, first team all Georgia State, Player of Year.  The luster is really coming off.

Crazy nonsense.  MU does not want to lose this kid.
