Any idea what Wojo has planned for Ellenson's visit?

[DienerTime34]

If Ellenson committed on his visit, would we find out tonight or would they wait to announce on Monday?

Ellenson can announce it whenever he wants.  Marquette cannot announce anything until he is officially signed, which can't happen until November at the earliest.

Sultan is a creep for calling out my wife, then my dad.....no wonder he is a UW football fan, UW fans have a strange past of attacking parents and siblings of MU recruits so why would it be different for Sultan to do that of posters.  Totally classless...that's what makes him a creep.  Not one apology either.  Pathetic.  His comparison of his son's ex girlfriends in which his family has relationship is absurd.

Someone quote me so Chicos can see this:

1. He is right.  My comparison was absurd.
2. My comment about his dad was a joke.  I didn't literally believe he doubted the moon landing.
3.  Really this whole putting me on ignore yet calling me out is very attention getting, teen-age girlish, and probably annoying to Scoop at large.  Either ignore me or don't.

Quoted. 

As far as it being annoying for this board?  It's par for the course.

It's classic Chicos. Reminds me of some kids I've worked with. Instigate quietly, instigate quietly, instigate quietly, then someone finally responds in a way that he can twist it and turn it to make that person look like a jerk even though everyone, including Chicos, knows it's not anywhere near what was intended. Then comes the "Oh help, look at poor old me, I'm the victim, Sultan just attacked me, my family, my loved ones! Someone, do something, help me!"

These kids I worked with were teenagers who were neglected and abused. Chicos talks about growing up, maturing, becoming wiser, and making adult decisions yet still plays the victim after instigating for months.

Done.

Chicos has been over the top this weekend.  You would think the feller would dial it back a bit.  

I have nothing against Jamie.  He just needs to dial it back a bit.

Oh, and in before the lock.  This one is on you JD.

I didn't instigate a thing with Sultan....he didn't like a truthful post I made a few months ago and his reaction was to call my wife a liar.  I'm not going to stand for that...EVER.  All he has to do is apologize.  A quick PM.  Very simple.  I'm glad he half apologized on the latest stuff, but just as if someone here called your wife a liar or anyone else, you would be pissed.

Don't like it, put me on ignore.  It is very easy. 

[ChicosBailBonds]

Done.

How?  Because I stated it's creepy to follow 18 year old boys on twitter and facebook?  Sorry, many people agree with me, but I said to each their own.  That is my opinion.  And I do sure as hell hope that no one is tweeting recruits, it is against NCAA rules.  That is a fact.  Again, not sure how that is over the top. 

[River rat]

So sad
Instigate instigate and then be outraged that someone called their wife a liar on a message board.  Sad thing is this string like most started good for a page or so and then chicos in some manner that must be right out of a psychologists text book makes the next 3-4 pages entirely about him. Unfortunate. Pathetic. And sad. Thanks for ruining another thread it must give u some satisfaction in an otherwise miserable existance.

I don't follow any current MU players on Twitter, and personally am very inactive on Twitter.  However, in my limited Twitter life, I did add a few MU guys..perhaps a few while they were still at MU and a couple after MU.  I thanked Buycks for his efforts at MU and wished him well in his pursuit of an NBA career.  He replied - and said something to the effect of Thanks, much appreciated.  Just a simply token of appreciation for the guys who have worked hard at MU.  Perhaps I'll have to send one to Derrick and also apologize for being so critical.  

As you said though, to each their own - and if that is the case - you really shouldn't pass judgement on those adults who choose to follow some of our players.  The players don't have to accept the follow...they can decline as they like...

And with regard to tweeting at recruits (I don't do that), yet though it may be a violation in the eyes of the NCAA - they can't do jack as far as enforcing it, as they can't place blame on a university as to the individual actions of its fans...zero way they can enforce it.  MU will do its part as it can by simply sending out e-mails, etc., to remind its alumni of the policy - yet beyond that...nothing MU or any other school can do.

Why don't you put him on ignore?

Unless you protect your tweets, you can't decline to have someone follow you.  And most people don't protect.

Anyway to start a new thread related to Henry's visit and save the personal catfights/twitter values for something at the superbar? It would be great if the basketball threads were about basketball threads. Why don't you guys just call each other up and get it over with?

Great question....for me, I don't follow kids, period. I do think it is creepy for 40, 50, 60 year olds to friend current student athletes, but to each their own.   If one thinks it is creep to facebook an 18 year old female MU volleyball player, I can't understand why it would be ok to do the exact same thing for a male 18 year old basketball player.  But hey, to each their own.   

Sorry, Chicos, but this represents a fairly typical Chicos-type response.

Where in my comment did I mention friending somebody on Facebook? I didn't. In fact, I am a middle-school basketball girls basketball coach and at our very first practice I told my girls not to friend me on Facebook because I wouldn't accept due to the inappropriateness of it.

But Facebook isn't Twitter. The way I understand Twitter, a person, be he or she 10 or 110, sends out a post and hopes to be followed by the masses. Not just his/her friends and relatives, but hundreds or thousands or millions of strangers. That seems to be the very objective of it, especially when we're talking about public figures.

You kept maintaining it was "creepy" to follow a basketball player on Twitter even though basketball players are VERY public figures who seem to be tweeting for the sole purpose of being followed.

I simply wondered where the line was by asking if it was "creepy" to follow a 16-year-old pro tennis player or actor.

And rather than addressing my point, you rambled on about friending an 18-year-old volleyball player on Facebook.

Look, I think it's "creepy" to be a stalker or a peeping Tom or a dirty old man (or woman) ... but that doesn't have anything to do with my legitimate question about where we draw the line with Twitter, either.

Anyone worried that Henry had tweeted "great visit" last Sunday following his MSU trip, but has remained silent on his MU visit?

No.

[Fullodds]

Let Ellenson take his visits and then we will hear from him about whether MU is the right fit.

The rule on this board should be if you can't contribute to the topic, start your own separate thread.  Sure, we might miss some discussions on boat shoes or whose wife is a liar, etc but it will make it much easier for those only interested in MU hoops to obtain info in an orderly fashion.

Please....stop.   Please

[Lennys Tap]

Why don't you put him on ignore?

You're joking, right? He's ubiquitous by design here, fighting with so many people that's he constantly being quoted and thereby virtually impossible to ignore. That's the way, uh huh, uh huh, he likes it, uh huh, uh huh.
