Carlino a Warrior

[77ncaachamps]

Carlino?

I flew with a guy named Ziegler. Ziggy played hoops at UPenn. Despite the Teutonic name he was a bro. I asked Zig about that and he laughed saying that his LA high school was full of German, Irish, Italian, and French names without a white face in sight. Said everybody liked a helping of Creole for dinner now and then.  

One of Compton's finest.

The dude survived

Survive is right. How do you go that long without quenching any of a number of thirsts? At that age your moisture seeking missile is primed and ready 24/7.

There was a BYU hoopster who was suspended in-season for doing what nature intended. As I recall they were having a great year and the player was a leader on the court. I respect BYU for sticking to its values but I am amazed anyone not LDS would choose to live under such an invasive code.

The military has an honor code but there is nothing against two consenting adults (who are not married to others!) savoring the more earthy delights that have perpetuated the species for thousands of years. The BYU code, which must be signed every year by each student, forbids not just the usual honor issues about character and integrity but also forbids alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, drugs, and all sorts of rather mundane habits. Couldn't imagine not swilling joe in the morning.

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. 

When your username is Sultan of Silly it's extremely tough to live up to that moniker.  You, however, time and time again manage to meet that challenge.  Congratulations!  Oh, silly one.

That gives the team two true point guards. Carlino and Dawson. Both Wilson's are combo guards and not true points.

Wait, Derrick Wilson is a combo guard? as in PG/SG combo? you realize the "S" in SG stands for "shooting" right?

[GurneeHitchkr]

People complaining about this?  Like there's so much to choose from.  This was a quality acquisition.  Embrace it and Welcome Carlino.  Leadership.  Shooter.  Moxie.  We need this.  It will force the others step up, work harder and earn their minutes anyways.  Bring it!

[augoman]

Welcome mat..., (sorry).

nothing about 'roids in that contract, aina?

[raul]

After hearing of all the people leaving MU its nice to hear of some one coming to MU. With scholarships to give its a no brainer to give it to a guy with experience and who will only stay one year.

Up until midway through the season I assumed Liam McMorrow was a red haired Irishman. Right up until I asked someone who the tall black guy in the sweater was.

Great news!!!

The people complaining are the same people that think John Dawson has Magic Johnson like qualities.

[RushmoreAcademy]

I'm really excited about what this could mean for the lineup next year.   So hard to speculate because we have no sure idea what Wojo likes to do, but the options are definitely interesting.
If nothing else, it is going to look like a completely different brand of basketball out there next year.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Would love to see a smaller/quicker line-up creating offense from defense

Next season is shaping up to be a reverse of this season.  A lot of backcourt options but more limited in the frontcourt.

My guess is having a better backcourt with more options will equal more court success versus this past season.  Having a good frontcourt is wonderful if you have the guards.

We now have the guards.  Would be good to get a big who can at least play defense/rebound if Taylor and Fischer get into foul trouble.

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.

I wish I had a Helicopter to take me to work vs sitting in traffic every morning. This is a huge hit to Duane's ego. He came to Marquette to play point guard. Would have started last year without injury. Should have started this year. I think you will see this Carlino as a 2 guard. Should free him up to shoot.  Either that or they will play a mix of him and duane on the floor at the same time. If this guy takes big minutes from DUane it is a huge mistake. Huge.. I hope Duane can handle it or it may be the start of a rough relationship with the new coach.

Hopefully they play together a lot. I think the person this affects the most is Derrick. I see him getting very little, if any, playing time with this move.

Carlino -28/Derrick-19
Duane-28/Dawson-5/Cohen
Mayo-28/Johnson-17
Burton-28
Taylor-25/Anderson-22
Injuries will happen to free up some time. Honestly I could see Cohen/Johnson/Dawson getting less than 15 minutes combined once we get to league play once Luke comes to play.

Duane would not have started last year. He will see the floor whether it is at the point or off the ball. He is a playmaker and can do that from the 1 or the 2. If recruiting other players at the same position is a problem we might as well only take 5 players. If having to compete for minutes causes a player to have a rough relationship with a coach then I for one don't think he's the right fit for Marquette basketball. He can join McKay at Iowa State. The good thing is he had that option and doesn't think like you do. He's willing to work hard to warn what he wants.

Exactly. Duane has not played one minute yet. I have no clue how anyone can assume Duane would have started when no one has seen him play yet. Unrealistic expectations of newcomers disease.

[Litehouse]

I was hoping to see Duane take over at PG this year, oh well.  I'd rather have Duane at PG than SG because its easier to find other good SGs.

Speaking of SGs, any chance Charles Matthews reconsiders UK now that the Harrison twins are returning?  He might be the odd man left out there next year depending on their scholarship count.

[BCHoopster]

Mathews is only a senior next year, the Harrison twins will be gone after next year.

Carlino and Duane can play together, the odd man out is Derrick Wilson, JJJ might play less minutes as well.  Carlino has done it already, the other two discussed will have to earn there minutes.
Good pick-up, much better than Jack Thomas, that is for sure.
