Noskowiak recruiting Ellenson

[NersEllenson]

Ners,

Since I'm the one who got you going on this rant (again), next time you are in Mpls, let me know. JayBee and I will hold a séance with you to help you exercise this demon!     But you will have to buy. 

Just givin' you some sheet. 

+1000.  Seance/Exorcism - whatever it takes.  I think the upcoming season will be enough t put it to rest.  I have high hopes.

[real chili 83]

I hope you mean "exorcise."  We don't need his Derrick Demon getting any stronger! 

LOL.  Fixed.

[Dawson Rental]

Ners after seeing those comments from before why don't you just say you were happy with Derrick's performance for where he was at that time but expected him to improve into a well rounded player by the time he was a junior and starting.  That way you save face on you being happy after that UW game and can still continue the constant complaining about Derrick last year.

Holy mother of jehosephat.   

I'm not gonna read all these pages, I know somewhere in pages 2 through two million that this sucker went off the rails.

If you need to be banned, please raise your hand.  And not to facepalm, because I'm guessing most are doing that.

Possibly, but this one clearly was derailed...

Don't they always?

Not sure if this is the thread to place this but here it goes...I earlier mentioned that I had heard from someone recruiting Ellenson that Marq, Duke and NW were the top 3 and that UW was out of the running. I heard today that this guy's opinion is that it is over with the signing of Wally. He feels that Marquette now has Henry locked up. I am not going to #DoneDeal this yet but this is one man's (the coach) very educated opinion.

I'm honestly curious if this comes up when Wojo and Coach K talk on the phone, which I assume is pretty often. They are both competing for a very high profile recruit. Its interesting, to say the least.

Is it against NCAA rules for coaches to share recruiting information?

Don't forget Chris Collins. NW is a VERY big player in this one.

I didn't realize Collins and Wojo played together.

We should get an annual home and home going with NU.

Also coached on K's staff together for years.

...........maybe at the United center, hey?

So it's an away and away for Marquette?

[We R Final Four]

Doubleheader with ND coming in for the late game.

Maybe Marquette-NW will be part of the Gavitt tournament.

It is not.

Now obviously, you can't do anything that would cross the line of FERPA or the like, but that's law-law, not NCAA-law.

In a post filled with awesomeness...this was the most awesome. A true testament to the OT nature this board has become

Black Swan:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Henry was a longshot for UW well before Wally transferred to MU. Find it curious, especially given that John played @UW,  the program has a lot of momentum and their will be all the playing time Henry could want as a freshman. Did the family and Bo not click?

I don't really know the answer to that one. I have heard that UW was out before the Wally transfer. My guess is that he wants to play a major role from day one and that might not happen at UW. Not that he wouldn't be good enough but Bo does things his way and that most times doesn't involve having a "star" Fresh. People might be surprised how even some of UW's "star" players feel about their roles. Without going into much detail, I promise you that Sam Dekker will be going pro after this season. It was a done deal at the mid point last year but then he had a tough 2nd half. Draw your own conclusions.

[Boone]

Thanks. As it is, UW stands to lose a lot of key players due to graduation in '15. An early exit by Dekker would be a killer blow.

I had an extended chat with a guy claiming to be a cousin of Dekker's.   I was wearing MU gear and he started up the convo.  I was surprised a badger would talk to a guy in MU garb.   He said that in-state, he hated MU.   Out on the road (in Michigan) he liked them and was glad to start a basketball conversation with someone who knew MU and Wiscy hoops.    He said that Dekker was unhappy as a stretch 4.   That Bo was a good coach, but Sam didn't like defending big guys or spending time on the blocks.   That there weren't really positions in Bo's offense, but still.....    Of course, this was in February before the run so I took it with a grain of salt.
