Interesting that he accomplished so much in the 12 years before he got his college degree. I'd be interested to hear more about this guy's story.

Looks like Wainwright will be on still as an assistant...or will be given a different title like consultant?

Currently, Jerry is still an asst. and Phelps isn't named yet.

One interesting subplot in Phelps’ move revolves around recruiting. Ahmed Hill, a four-star shooting guard from Augusta, Ga., signed with Marquette in October, though Mizzou was among his final choices. Hill has not indicated whether he’ll ask out of his letter of intent following Williams’ departure, but familiarity with Phelps could be a factor in sticking with his commitment to Marquette.



There, he's from Mizzou, Hill nearly went there.

you mean while many on scoop were giving helpful advice to wojo (ok, demanding he fly to GA immediately) and questioning why he wasn't making hill a priority...wojo went out and hired a guy with ties to hill?

Marquette makes hiring of assistant Mark Phelps official. Between Phelps and Carrawell, Wojciechowski building strong X's and O's staff.

I lol'd at that tweet. Mizzou would beg to differ regarding Phelps

They gotta blame someone for the mess they put on the floor. That would be like us blaming Wainwright for 17-15.

No, it's true. A guy who was there nine months is to blame for the mess at Mizzou.

They claim he was responsible for their defensive scheme (an ineffective zone).

I'm pretty sure, though, that Wojo will be married to Duke's man-to-man D.
