Thanks for posting that, GE32.

Loved reading this:

Official Visit 1: Marquette
“The visit was great. It felt like a family atmosphere. I had a lot of fun with the team and learning about the campus. Also got to attend “Marquette Madness” and that was a great environment.

I have a great relationship with Coach Woj and Coach DK. They’ve been recruiting the longest. I talk to them all the time. And they stress that I would be a great fit at replacing Theo John. They also have a great 2021 class with a lot of great players. They keeping telling me they’ll have a really good team that year that can compete for a National Championship.”

MU82 You have hit the nail on the head as usual.Anybody who thinks that this country is a meritocracy is very very Naivee.This does not necessarily make this country different from any other country. The only way that the workers can get with the deserve is with UnionsWhen we had strong unions following world war 2The prosperity of this country was Exemplary and so was The amount of wages that was paid to the just plain workers. In recent years The profit dollars have moved to the upper wealthy people And that continues to this day.

So you’re not liking MU’s chances with Trey James unless there is a return to strong unions?

Guessing Wojo’s idea of what “competing for a national championship” looks like is different from yours or mine.

I’m guessing Wojo has a better idea of what it takes to win a national title than you or Boone do.

Hope I let enough time elapse before I responded to your post!

Boone and I aren’t being paid millions to “compete for National Championships”. Wojo is, and despite your predictions that we would become Duke North he is 0 for 6 after 6 seasons - unless you’re such a slurper that making the round of 64 qualifies.

Glad you’re trying to go a little easier on the stalking - in the end you’ll feel better about yourself.

[Boone]

Wojo may have a better idea, but to date he hasn't a clue how to convert that into reality!

My guess is he’s selling kids on building the program to a national title contender, not that he’s already created it. But maybe you and Boone have heard otherwise.

Can I get an acceptable timeframe for stalking definitions? I respond after 49 minutes to you = an “almost immediate” response and a stalker. Your response to me 18 minutes later = totally normal stuff.

Are there MUScoop response time etiquettes I’m not privy to? Maybe the meat eaters have come up with some guidelines similar to “don’t text/call someone you’re interested in for 24 hours?” If so, very cute of you guys!

Competing means you are trying. Very few actually win it.

[Uncle Rico]

I remember Kevon Looney’s post-commitment comments about UW-Madison.  He said Bo Ryan told him they were close to winning a national title.  This was off the opening round loss to Ole Miss in 2013 where they scored 46 points.  I audibly laughed reading that. 

Apples to oranges, yes.  The track records are different but coaches are always selling what can be with a particular recruit.  Spending much time on it is silly.

Hey, if you're in the dance you're competing for it. And the NIT is a national tournament, so he checked off both boxes.

Looney played at UCLA 2014-2015
UW went to the National Championship game in 2014-15

And they went to the final four the year before.

So uhhhhhhh... Bo was right.

That was my point.  Looney committed before the first final four season, in fall of 2013.  I thought it was laughable.  I was way wrong but no one saw Kaminsky becoming a NPOY.

Have not seen any evidence of a better idea by Wojo since he arrived. But with his lifetime deal with MU, he should eventually get one

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm now on board the Mane' going pro train. It was heading that way for a while but I think its a for sure thing now.

Best we can hope for is that Etienne comes on board and reclassifies. I think we are going to need the extra help. I hope Jamal Cain has a good offseason, think we will need him to play a lot more minutes at the four than we originally anticipated.

2nd time you've mentioned this today.  You mean that generically in the sense that we just lost our 2 clear best players, or do you think DJ isn't getting a waiver and/or BB is gone?

LOL! I'd put my money on Crean or Buzz to win a NT before Wojo.

I hate to say it but I don't see Wojo at MU beyond his current contract. Boosters and admin are luke warm about him. Plus, this year looks like a NIT at best year.

Willie hated Crean and Buzz, too.
