Wally Ellenson Transferring to MU and Playing Basketball

[ChicosBailBonds]

I'm sure Wally transferring on a basketball scholarship will have the Vadger faithful foaming at the mouth. Good for them!

They already are.  What's great, they call it a scuzzy move.  What's ever greater, if Henry comes to MU basically they are saying Henry and family are "scuzzy" for going along with it.  Classic.

They haven't yet attacked Henry's dad or mom, but considering they have attacked Wes's mom, Travis's uncle, Vander's dad, Maymon's dad, and this week Duane's dad...I have no doubt it's coming.  Just waiting to see if Breadtree or others with their moral superiority they exude here can police their own.  Crickets.

when is the last time a majority white team won a d1 bball championship?

Honestly, I had to look it up because I don't care or pay attention to what color a team is.  I don't give a crap, can the players play or not.

But, in looking it up, Duke, a few years ago and they beat Butler, another predominantly white team.  Wisconsin missed playing for it all just a few months ago because Kentucky hit a shot with less than 6 seconds left. 

It seems people are making this assumption based on what you see from skin color, not on ability.  Imagine how many people 15 years ago would say an African American can't win the majority of the time at golf.  It's about ability.  Sports is a the true meritocracy.

Even though Michigan lost last year they had a bunch of white boys. Two of which were just drafted in the first round

That's the Vadgers, forever classy.

All I know is that Deonte's gonna have some competition in the dunk contest now!  Wally even does the signature reverse cradle, and he even did just about the same dunk that won Deonte the dunk competition this past season.

Wally gets up real nice, but Deonte always threatens to tear the rim off with his finishes.

Bo has to be positively squirming in Madison. He loved recruiting against Buzz because the lying creep wouldn't go after state kids. All of a sudden Wojo will be kicking Bo's butt in getting those kids to Wells Street. And you gotta think Diener's presence will help, too.

I, too, hope Wojo kicks Bo's butt, but saying Buzz wouldn't go after in state kids is inaccurate. He signed Vander Blue, Jeronne Maymon, Deonte Burton, Duane Wilson, Jameel McKay, Sandy Cohen and Nick Noskowiak.  Jake Thomas, Jamil Wilson and Luke Fischer transferred here and we offered but missed out on others. He didn't go after EVERY in state guy, but he went after (and signed) quite a few.

[We R Final Four]

Sounds a lot like Juan Anderson.

Does Juan also have a younger brother being recruited by Duke?

[T-Bone]

That's not precisely true. Buzz stole Vander away.

And Maymon, though less of a steal than Vander.  And Burton.  And Wilson. 
No idea how high the bad-gers were on them.

Duke 2010

Are we done with this stupid debate now?

Yea you added the 6 white  NON scholarship bench warming walk ons.. way to go buddy

[bilsu]

Is it to late for him to sign up for pro am. Watching the video made me think of Joe Fulce before the knee cap injury.

[Galway Eagle]

I invite you to read the thread I made particularly for your view. 

[ThatDude]

LOL! All of you that are saying that DUKE'S 2010 championship team was majority white is insane...I literally can't stop laughing. If you add all the NON scholie white bench warmers! Im not gonna give yall that!

[DegenerateDish]

This thread is embarassing. If you need to talk race, go to the Superbar or some place else.

Welcome aboard Wally, that's all that matters.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Yea you added the 6 white  NON scholarship bench warming walk ons.. way to go buddy

Jon Scheyer, leading scorer at 18.2 points per game
Kyle Singler, second leading scorer at 17.7 PPG and leading rebounder
Brian Zoubek, 4th leading scorer
Miles Plumlee, 5th leading scorer
Mason Plumlee, 7th leading scorer

Ryan Kelly also off the bench

You may want to try again.  You may also want to look at their opponent in the finals that game, Butler.

Put the shoe on the other foot for a second. Imagine people here were clamoring for more white players. How would you feel about that? Now look at what you are saying.  Try to make an honest effort to tell us why your opinion isn't hideously racist.

Eh, what?  Vander, Maymon, Burton, Du. Wilson, J. Wilson, Noskowiak, Cohen....

Buzz didn't recruit state kids?

Shhh, some people can't be racist.  Haven't you heard.

The funny part, if he actually went and looked at the top 7 scorers on that team, he might walk back his comments.  Something tells me he won't do that, but fortunately it was provided for him.

[Galway Eagle]

Ugh I guess my effort to make a thread where this could all get put to rest failed. 

[ThatDude]

At the end of the day im a marquette fan and im gonna cheer for my team regardless. I just dont think we'll be relevent with these players that wojo is recruiting.

Because they're white or because they're unranked?

[Benny B]

Whether I made a racial generalization or not would you mind challenging the fact or nah?

Challenged and defeated.

[Coleman]

Challenged and defeated.

#35 looks 50 years old

Yep... he was the "non-traditional" on that team.

[GOO]

Love the shoes. They could go from the boxing ring to the hard court with those things.

[GoldenWarrior11]

So.... Not to interrupt the whole matter of whether or not race determines basketball talent/intelligence and/or recruiting rankings determine win/loss record, but...

When does Henry plan on making his college decision?  Is it to be this summer or the fall?

How many open scholarships do we have available right now?  1?
