Marial Shayok

[Lighthouse 84]

Why not shut this thread down?  He's not coming. We don't want him. buzz can have him.

Why do people act like this?  "We don't want him."  Who is we?  Clearly Wojo was very interested.  I'm willing to bet more fans take him than not.  Just because you're upset he's changed his mind doesn't mean we don't want him.  Marial seems like a great talent with a lot of potential.  I have no animosity if he goes elsewhere, and I don't think it's going to be in Blacksburg.

Contrary to everyone's beliefs,  NO schools have contacted Shayok since his release per his Dad

No I am NOT the source

I heard this too. Also to respond the post before this one I wouldnt say that I did not want Marial but I dont think he is that good and really dont think Wojo was really that interested. Im not gonna bash the kid but its really not that big of a loss. Wasnt that high on him when we first recruited him.

Im with you on that. I thought he wasn't that good either.

Right, they just contacted his coach.

You believe the coach over the dad? Ok

If you think schools haven't found a way to contact Shayock via his coach, you are truly naive.

You're naive for thinking his dad wouldn't be in the know

[Golden Avalanche]

Asked these to you once and you ducked. I'll ask both again:


First, do you have any clue as to Wojo's plans?

Second, how often have you seen Shayok play?

Nothing that I have seen made me think Wojo was very interested in him. What makes you say this?

What have you seen or heard that would make you think that Wojo is not interested in him?

He said clearly very interested in him...I was asking why he thought this. I haven't seen anything saying he talked to him, or went to visit him so I was curious.

[murara1994]

Of course the dad is in the know, he's just being very specific in his comments that "he" (as opposed to the coach or someone else connected with Marial) hasn't been contacted.

Btw, do you live in Wisconsin or Georgia?

I live in Wisconsin. I have family that lives in Augusta and am down there often.

I did some research on Marial this weekend. Heard a lot of good things about him. Comes from a successful basketball family. A mature kid who I think will be able to make the transition to college play. Lets hope that Wojo can bring him back in the fold.

This is the kind of guy that would probably be a good glue guy ala Joe Chapman.

Let's see, an athletic 6'6 defensive minded wing.    I hope Wojo can re-land him.

That's his floor. If he develops offensively, he could be a star.

I don't doubt for a second that Buzz used Jimmy Butler's success as a major selling point when he recruited Marial to MU.

He should go to VA TECH..this kid has Juan Anderson written all over him. I WANT OFFENSE

Quite fortunate then to see two of our recruits so often in wildly diverse locations.

Still ducking my questions, huh? I'll keep asking:


First, do you have any clue as to Wojo's plans?

Second, how often have you seen Shayok play?

So who is the offensive powerhouse waiting to take Shayok's scholarship at MU? Do you think WOJO has a line of top 50 recruits outside the Al?
