And yet another point guard to take away minutes from Wilson and Dawson....Dumb! Dumb! Dumb!

Duane Wilson needs 30 minutes a game and has NBA talent....but Wojo prefers a PG that reminds him of him and his multiple NIT runs at Duke when he was a player. 

Rookie coach mistake.

MU played for fools again after letting Buzz take us for $2.5MM a year and then let him steal our star recruits as well.  Ben Howland would never have let Hill and Pierce be allowed out of their NLI to go to VT as he knows how cut throat college basketball world is.  Hopefully we make one smart move over the next year as the last year has been a disaster.

Marquette now at 11 scholarships for the 2014-15 season. Currently one player taller than 6-foot-7.

Boom! Excellent news. Welcome to Warrior Nation Matt!

The last FOUR seasons combined Marquette's starting PGs have made 63 3-pointers. Last year alone Carlino made 60. #mubb

Exactly why I wanted him

[keefe]

Hopefully, this puts an end to a lot of the endless debate over PG. We should bear in mind that Carlino comes in for one year to provide some of the passion and on-court presence that was so desperately missing last season. It also takes a lot of pressure off Duane and Dawson so they can develop more constructively. Finally, I like that Carlino has Marquette DNA so this is a homecoming of sorts.

A disaster was the landslide in Washington state. This is college basketball.

Ben Howland obviously had enough problems dealing with UCLA, which might explain why nobody has hired him.

You are as clueless as you are whiny and negative.

As for Carlino, I will repeat what I said on another thread:

We needed help everywhere, including the perimeter. We had the scholly and we weren't going to get three big men. It's a one-and-done situation. The best players will earn minutes. We will use plenty of 3- and 4-guard sets. Did you see Villanova play this past season? A team can win going small.

I see zero downside to this ... unless Carlino sucks. And he apparently doesn't. I will trust a guy who coached at Duke for 15 years and helped recruit some of the best athletes in the game to know more about Carlino's ability than some anonymous Internet mope does.

Welcome back Cuonzo. How's life at Cal so far?

That's because we had a head coach that didn't believe in guys capable of doing traditional things, like stroke shots.

Why shoot when you can dribble?

Duane Wilson needs 30 minutes a game and has NBA talent....but Wojo prefers a PG that reminds him of him and his multiple NIT runs at Duke when he was a player. 

Unless Wojo was going to use a schoarship on a 6-10 guy he molded out of clay, there is little downside to this. As small as they are going to be, you will consistently see 3 and 4 guard lineups out of MU. Du Wilson and Dawson will, can, and should play plenty of time at the 2 pos. that would have been the case with or without Carlino. He's a guy to fill out the roster for a year. If there were better guys available, you might have a point, but at this point, the chances of finding a front court player or two that is any good are almost non-existent.

[Norm]

Its not hard to find better 3-point shooters than Junior and Derrick.

I hope Carlino works out and does not cause any problems in the locker room that he was rumored to cause at BYU. He is leaving Provo because he was not guaranteed to be the starter at PG. How will he react if he does not get the playing time he feels he deserves? And how does this affect Duane and John's development?

Not too excited about this transfer right now but hope I come to regret this feeling when he plays well and contributes next season.

So the new meme on this board is now "Wojo only likes traditional point guards?"

Great.

[GooooMarquette]

You can never have too many PGs.

For reference, see the senior seasons of Dominic James and Travis Diener.  DJ's team had Final Four potential until his late-season injury, and then didn't get past the second round.  Diener's team looked like an NCAA team until he got injured and then lost to teams like St. Louis, TCU and ultimately Western Michigan in the NIT first round.

I suspect we will see plenty of 3 or even 4-guard lineups next season.  Seemed to work OK when we had the Amigos.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Why shoot when you can dribble?

I'm ok with that if you can dribble to the rim and either convert or pass.  If neither of those are an option.....

Burton said earlier this month that he likes Duane Wilson as a 2 more than at the point. He certainly has the scoring skill set.

Carlino on playing #mubb in 2012: "I remember playing Marquette, and Jae Crowder, he was an animal. He was an amazing player..."

Great.

No late entries, tourney has started.... No more meme creation for at least 3 months

Getting a couple one-year guys is exactly what is needed to fill out the roster. Much better than bringing in any of the high school guys that are left over at this point in time.

And Carlino definitely has an attitude on the floor, which this team will need next year.

I've heard that his biggest issue at BYU was being expected to be "the next Fredette"...and trying to live up to those expectatons.

Sounds like a change of scenery might do him a world of good.

I totally agree with the need for attitude.  That was almost completely absent last year.
