Is Wojo Telling Us Something

[dgies9156]

In Matty V's postgame notes, there was this little nugget:

Wojciechowski on Henry Ellenson (Wojciechowski is asked about Ellenson after nearly every game by the opposing team's media and always talks about his high ceiling, toughness, preparedness, incredible work ethic, love of the game, etc. Tonight he did the same but also used the words below):

"He's a kid who's unpacked his bags. He loves Marquette, he loves being around our team and he's really dedicated to the game."

I hope unpacked his bags means what I think it means :-)

That he had a change of clothes available when he got back to the hotel in Rhode Island?

I thought all McD's All Americans were assigned a personal valet to do things like that.  Or is that only if they go to UK?

It sure seems like Matty V is implying something here, with that lead in.

I'm hoping that being at MU with his brother, enjoying college life, bonding with the team, etc. all convinces him to stick around for one more year, especially if the team falls a little short because of the weak nonconference schedule--maybe wanting a good shot at a big tourney run.  Those sorts of sentimental reasons are probably our best shot for him coming back from another year.

I would pay for personal valet for HE to stay another year. MU would be tough to beat if he were to come back for another year.

Forgot that -- someone just go steal his bags while he is out east this week.

[DegenerateDish]

Henry Ellenson is not coming back next year.

[MuMark]

I think it just means he loves it at MU and has bought into what they are doing.

I seriously doubt it means anything more then that.

I like this quote from H. Ellenson after the game:

"I knew they waited awhile to get their last shot off, they dribbled a lot of time off and so I knew they had to get a shot up there at the end. I just recognized the time and situation to get over there and make a play."

Smart play...I think he stays one more year because that's the smart thing to do in his position.

The thing for D. Stone on the other hand will involve driving a Mercedes this time next year.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

He might stay. He probably goes. Either way I'll enjoy the ride.

If he does stay though....I don't see anyway that's not a top ten team. All these guys plus a year of experience, minus mache, plus Hauser/rowsey/maybe one more.

Excuse me while I go rosterbate

[DienerTime34]

Does anyone really believe Wojo is thinking: "How can I drop a coded message to the fanbase to let them know that Henry secretly told me he's staying another season?"

Or is it more likely Wojo is saying Henry is all-in on this particular season, and that's it?

[Knight Commission]

"Pay my bills", "Pay my Bills"

[MURFC]

Henry Ellenson is not coming back next year.

Stop it.  Allow us to delude ourselves.  Ignorance is bliss....I choose to believe Wojo is speaking to us here.  PHOENIX 2017!!!

A good reporter would have asked the natural follow up question:

"Did Austin Rivers, Kyrie Irving or Jabari Parker ever unpack their bags?"

Nicely done.

If Ellenson stayed, we'd be good next year. I'd say certainly a tournament team, and maybe even a ranked team for part or most of the season.

But I don't see how we go from being a bubble team this year to a top 10 team next year....with the exact same guys with one more year of experience. I think we are giving one year of experience too much credit.

Even though we have yet to prove we are over this 2.5 year hump.

I'm with you. This roster with actual experience is deadly.

Factor in that our 2 additions would be guys who can shoot it. Only makes it even better.

You underestimate how much guys jump in production. Look at just Luke right now. Henry and Haanif ain't getting worse. Duane has now shown he can play starter or bench roles with starter minutes. We lack expierience. That would be huge.

Plus Rowsey and Hauser bring everything we are currently lacking.

Shooting, ball handling, expierience(Rowsey).

Solid shooting, versatility and wing size(Hauser).

It would be a great team. I don't think Hank stays though.

First, it wouldn't be the exact same team.

Second, good players get better, often much better. I mean, how good were Dekker, Kaminsky and Gasser as freshmen? Did they get better? Did Diener get better? And so on and so on and so on and so on. Most good, hard-working players improve significantly.
