Possible 6-8 230lbs forward transfer to Marquette?

[Dawson Rental]

Carlino's one of Wojo's guys, and with the exception of one game, he's been a flop.

Carlino ain't All Big East, but the team would be in sorry shape without him.  It wasn't looking like John Dawson was ready to step into the eight spot in the rotation this year, let alone start.  Remember Wojo was hired on April 1st.  He did a great job getting one of the few players who could contribute this year at that point in time.

First off, Luke Fisher was Mr  Basketball in Wisconsin, I think he never lost a game in high school, who would not want him. Skilled big man that has shown he is better than anybody thought! His addition has made MU competitive this year.

Now, do you ever think major schools ever make a mistake. Even the great Rick Pitino. Sure  they do.  I have never seen Agau play, Physical specimen but in watching Louisville besides Montrell who is a beast, the other big men where nothing special. If you say he is as good as Hayes bring him in. Secondly the other 3 players above will be over recruited as well. Top programs get freshman that play right away.  Just remember Lloyd Moore, the second coming, maybe one of the highest recruits in MU history, how did that turn out? Ignorant I doubt it, senile more like it. If Wojo likes him then bring him in but the kid has not played in a year and a half, still wonder if he worked out on his visit?

As classy a response to a personal attack as I've seen on Scoop.  My hat's off to you, sir.

Merry Xmas to all ya mofos, aina?

Wow!  i was just having a little fun.  There was absolutely no reason to bring my monkey into it!!!!!

I don't care if he's starter quality.

WE NEED  BENCH!

[hoyasincebirth]

I think he would be a valuable contributor to either of our teams.

I guess Akoy Agau and I are still "friends" on Facebook from when he was at Central and I was at Creighton Prep (hometown is Omaha).  I stumbled upon his profile and it says he "Studies at Wichita State University".  I haven't seen anything about his announcing a transfer destination but maybe he already decided.

Read on twitter today that he'll be taking an official visit to Nebraska on Tuesday night/Wednesday. Previous three visits (Nebraska, Marquette and Georgetown) were all listed as unofficial.

I remember Wichita State being listed as another team interested in Agau, but haven't heard of him being on campus or attending any games. Doubt he'll be on the market after his official to Lincoln.

Thanks.  One point I did not make on a typical winter day in Wisconsin.  It is not easy to find a 6'8" player in Wisconsin with his build the next few years in Wisconsin.  That player is not
there, so in saying that, and having 3 open scholarships, if he wants to come, take him.  Steve Taylor has shortcomings, so there could be some playing time next year, for sure the following
year.  A transfer transfers because he wants playing time.  Not sure what is available at Georgetown, but JT is recruiting very well, so in my mind they are out.  Nebraska not sure, but really
a basketball power or known for basketball not really.  So MU to me is the no brainer unless he wants to be closer to home.  Also, we do not know how the recruiting for the following year
is going, Wojo probably has that feel already.  He was very fortunate to have a great class of kids in high school this year.  Much like how lucky Kevin O'Neal was to have Logterman, Key and
MacIlvaine his year.  Or Crean getting Diener and Novak right away.  New coaches bring a new excitement to the university, we have seen it in the past.  It is really hard to follow up on a
good class to have a second good class.  Time will tell.  I do like a small bench or recruits, keeps them all happy.  All I hear is MU is only 8 deep, so what, at there age they can play 30-35
minutes per player with no problem as long as the players are in good condition.  Only playing 7 at DePaul was a coaching mistake, next year if he had 13 players, how many transfers the following year, Duke always plays with a small group.  11 is the perfect amount you need.

Plenty available playing time at Center at Georgetown next year. We lose both Smith and Hopkins. The only returning big man we have is 7'0 Bradley Hayes who has seen limited playing time thus far. We do have a 4 star top 50 C coming in next year and a top 100 PF, but there's plenty of time available at Center.

I think he actually starts.

Yesterday's game, to me, showed that next year we will need a guard who can protect the ball and we will need a big bodied forward who can rebound/mix it up.

Looks like it will be between us and Gtown, based on Nebraska scollie situation. I saw this quote on verbal commits:

#Nebrasketball now full for 2015-16 scholarships. I'd be surprised now if Akoy Agau is part of that class. But I've been wrong before.

Pretty sure Wichita St is also 2+ over their scholarship limit, so I think you're right. It's you or us.

We all need to remember - this is not a guy ready to step in and start.

He averaged 3 minutes as a freshman and played 11 total minutes this year. In other words, in 3 semesters he has played about 2 1/2 games.

Somebody agreeing with me, right on.  This kid is a work in process much like Duane Wilson and JJJ or Sandy Cohen.  The only upside is his mature body, compared to our skinny players, he might be a big help.

[hairy worthen]

Which one is you?

Totally agree.

Gtown advantage ----  He likes JT3 and strongly considered Gtown 2 years ago

Marquette advantage ----- He likes to play combo forward, which is exactly what we are looking for, as opposed to Gtown which needs him at center.

We shall know very soon.   He needs to be enrolled by 1/12 if coming to MU.

Is it 1/19...?  Late registration at Mu ends 7 days after classes begin (1/12).  (Or, the 20th as the 19th is MLK Day? ).

January 16th is the last day at Georgetown. Rumor is he'll make his decision around the 11th/12th.

Officially between us and Georgetown

That's too bad.  Thought it would be uphill considering Georgetown was in on him originally.

[hoyasincebirth]

 

Revenge for you guys getting Chetham.

[Groin_pull]

Wouldn't get too worked up over it. Couldn't get off the bench at Louisville. Very limited offensively.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

Rats.

Could use some size on the bench next year.
