Diamond

[wadesworld]

I am unhappy to report that WI is all I have been hearing during the last month. No mention of anything else other than "I heard he qualified" from everyone and his brother. If he joins them, they are going to be pretty tough next year even without Dekker coming back. They have a kid who is redshirting — Happ — who by all accounts has been killing it in practice against their first team. With Koenig and Hayes (would love to see him leave early), that is a nice line-up. I am still hoping for a UConn or Maryland miracle. Anywhere but UW.
That made me LOL. Kowske is one of the nicest guys around (other than being a Badger). A few years ago, I was in the Wrigley bleachers with him and a few others. We were just drinking beers during batting practice and some Cub launches one to left field. Kowske keeps his beer in one hand and bare hands the home run like a Venus fly trap and throws it back on to the field like nothing happened. (Yes, Warriors and Badgers can get along.)

Have also heard Diamond to UW for a while now too.  I would guess we would hear either this week or whenever the Badgers' season ends.

I don't see many similarities to their games. Why do you think Stone is a perfect fit to provide the versatility inside/out that Kaminsky does?

I'm guessing he just meant that they lose 1 star center but gain another.  And while I agree, their games are nothing alike, Stone did make 4 3 pointers in the only close game they played in the WIAA State Playoffs (vs. Racine St. Cat's).

However, from what I am hearing, UW's offense...system...may not be the same offense...system...that it is today by the start of next year.  If you get my hint...

Diamond going to Wisconsin is the final nail in the coffin for Marquette basketball.   4 years ago this team was headed to the stratosphere, than when Buzz left everything went to poop and UW is headed to back to back to back national championship with Stone, Decker, and Hayes, and than whoever else comes in after Decker leaves (Chances are they will be big time recruits that do not want to attend Marquette anymore)

Wojo better get to a final 4 and get to one fast before UW laps us again.   The fact that a city of Milwaukee kid of Color wants to play with UW shows how far we have fallen.

And in regards to Ellenson.  Everyone is telling me that he is overrated and will get beaten up when Diamond plays them. 
we are doomed.  Looks like I am going to start cheering for Iowa State

See ya'

If your hint is what I think it is...man oh man.

Regardless of the hint, any replacement would most certainly run the Swing.

This is true.

I guess being way down in Kenosha, you missed this.

Marcus Landry (born November 1, 1985) is an American professional basketball player. Landry attended Vincent High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and played his college basketball at the University of Wisconsin from 2005 to 2009.

I'm thinking that we were actually doomed then, and now we're double secret doomed.

Congratulations on clinching the title of No. 1 Douchebag of Scoopland!!

Not to mention Ray Nixon, Boo Wade, Devin Harris (close enough), Freddie Owens, etc.

it's the than vs. then and the 'C' in color that clinches the #1 status for him above and beyond the obvious trolling.

Close to home, going to a school with a tremendous amount of success over the last 15 years including two of the most dominant years in their programs history (this and last season). He could do worse.

And choosing a school that doesn't care about graduating it's players...according to APR. Makes total sense.

Starving for attention?  Drunk at 4:40 on a Tuesday afternoon?  Both?

Say hi to the K-Mart checkout girl when you go to get your fan gear.

[The Lens]

The last time Bucky went to the Final Four (2000), we were there 3 years later. 

The last time they won the Big Ten (2008), 3 years later we started a 3 year streak in at least the S16.

Their success has never precluded ours.

I'd love to tell you to "relax" and "respect the process," but it is clear that you are incapable of either.

Hmm... interesting. Approaching this with Garded optimism.

+1

Just like the DePaul discussion, their is no basis for this "Zero sum" mentality that if one is good it takes away from the MU.

If anything, having good strong rivals helps.

Yeah, cuz Iowa St never loses a scrimmage to K-state. 

[MUfan12]

All Wisconsin's success does is make their fans more unbearable than they already are. Outside of that, their success doesn't have much of an effect on MU. Rarely are they locked in recruiting battles anymore.

I think a new system there could be BARRY interesting.


Wouldn't that be the ultimate Barry move, stepping in once again to save the day, for the seniors, of course.

That could change. Bo would have loved Ellenson but never had a chance. I find it unlikely that Wojo would have passed on guys like Dekker and LaChance that seem to fit Bo's system but Buzz for whatever reason didn't want. In the coming years, the Hauser brothers, Anderson, and Nobal Days could all end up having both Marquette and UW as suitors.

Its okay tho cuz his a teacher in an urban area with Colored students. He nose how it reallyest iz.

Buzz wanted Dekker.  Dekker just committed very early for UW.
