Wojo doesn't even need to get Mr. Lee on campus to reel him in.
All he needs is somewhere in Baltimore that will rent him an ice cream truck.

Could not disagree more. While the surrounding area is not that nice, nor is Marquette's. UA is hands down a much nicer environment. On campus arena and football stadium, fantastic student rec center that is city blocks long. University Ave is fun. No comparision to MU.

That is you opinion but i'm going to guess a lot of people do not have rec center that is city blocks long as high on the list of reasons to pick a school.

Again, whatever floats your boat.

This reminds me of New York University (NYU) in Greenwich Village.  The saying is kids that first go to the campus within 5 minutes think it is the greatest place in the world or the worst place in the world and nothing in-between.

Whatever floats your boat. 

So is MU better than Arizona?  Depends on what is important to you.
NYU is awesome.  Any University that has McSorley's in its neighborhood is a great University.

Yup! If you like ice sailing in winter.

What does MU offer to a 5th year grad?  How about a trip to Italy over the summer?  That has to be a selling point, and I mean a big selling point.

When I got homesick my first semester, I applied to NYU. I ended up making some great, lifelong friends in November, though, and I ended up not leaving. I actually was accepted, which was almost as big an upset as Nova over GTown!

Spot on.
No no no.....do you watch the NBA? Do you see how well MU is recieved and how many of their past players get looks on NBA rosters even from the D-League?

You don't think they tell them that? Who cares if they have not made NCAA in two years. Recruits know that and they know why?

If anything they believe they are the one's to help get them back on track.

You see Jerel McNeal, Jae Crowder, Vander Blue, Darius Johnson Odom  Wesley Matthews, Lazar Heyward, Dwight Buycks, Jimmy Butler, Steve Novak, Travis Diener, Dwayne Wade and the guy who came to us from Ariz State make it in the league in the last 5-7 years...that is enough!

That says it all!

Right now, Marquette has 6 guards on NBA rosters. Wojo coached 7 current NBA guards at Duke. Arizona might match or exceed those numbers. Louisville I doubt does. Maryland and Gonzaga certainly not.

There's another factor to consider, and that's position. Lee has mostly been a 2/3 at the college level. But those don't seem to be our biggest need positions. With Miller as a potential rebounding forward option, that would push Lee back to the 2, or possibly even the 1 with Duane out there. Lee might be a fringe NBA prospect as a 3, but if he gets the chance to show he can play the 1/2, his stock would likely go up considerably. For a wing, his assist and turnover rates were pretty good.

A couple weeks ago McNeal, Blue, and Buycks all weren't on rosters so I don't know if those are necessarily ringing endorsements of MU players making it to the NBA.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

They had all been on rosters previously, however. Jerel has been on contract with Charlotte and Utah, Vander with Philly and Boston, and Dwight with Toronto.

Yes, four 10-day contracts scattered in there, but still, all these guys were NBA players before the past couple weeks.

Can you interpret this?

Have you been to NYC and/or Greenwich village or are you basing this on a hazy memory of "Escape from New York" can confusing it with reality?

I think the hockey stick reference was to the Boston Bruins' forward Marty McSorley who used his stick as a weapon and not only swung it at an opposing player but made contact. The dude was nuts

And what does have to do with NYU?

I don't think anything. I think Benny was making a joke because he has the same last name as a bar on NYU's campus. I could be wrong though

A lot more than NYU has to do with Division I basketball graduate transfers.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

That is correct. I saw that GTown had announced their trip recently. Nice to see a few big programs in the Big East getting some meaningful work in early on in the offseason.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

I wonder if Diener had anything to do with the Italy trip.

No Travis said it was just a coincidence.

Maybe it was a vicious lie and he really set the entire thing up.

Do we have dates for it yet, by the way? And a detailed itinerary? I have a bit of an interest in heading over for it.
