Wish he was three inches tall e r.

Big Daddy didn't mention anything about another guard (Reinhardt) did he?

[Lighthouse 84]

BD mentioned someone east-northeast.  USC is west.  Should we expect someone else to come?

If so, someone else has to be leaving.

East-NE is Young, or some Canadian player we haven't heard of yet.

I think that right now, Wally is concentrating fully on winning a NC in high jump and qualifying for the Olympic trials.  He may not want to say he's moving on while he's still competing for Marquette.  Since he's been in school four years, he may be graduating this spring.  My gut is that Wally will not transfer to play basketball at another school.  If he wants to finish out his basketball eligibility, he'll stay here. But there is a strong possibility that he will move on to concentrate on his "other job."

Perhaps Henry can use some of his shiny new millions to pay Wally's tuition next year, and he can join the team as a walk on.

I don't know why some want to usher Cohen out the door.  He had a disappointing second half of the year but there is a lot to like about his game.  If we play small ball it will be Cohen who is asked to rebound the ball more and create mismatches on the offensive end.  He showed rebounding moxie by grabbing 7 boards against St. Johns and 9 against X.  If Cohen gets stronger, he will excel as an undersized stretch 4.

Having Katin, means that Hauser will play very limited minutes next year and that Wally is leaving.  If not Wally, then I expect a surprise major contributor from this past year to leave.

If y'all think Reinhart, Rowsey, Hauser, and Howard are here to pick splinters out they ass, y'all better think again, ai na?

This is just like BD's predictions about Lee and Miller last year ... second year in a row that BD's pontification about transfers are way off.

Sorry but that is his track record.

This makes a ton of sense

Heisey Baby, keep yo tidy whiteys on bro. We ain't done yet, hey?

You should make a new post about it.

If you're shooting threes, the rebounds are long, a 7 footer is not the right guy for that kind of of game.

Yes, but that is on offense. Defensive rebounds are more important, because that means your opponent failed to score. Being good shooters does not help you on the defensive boards.

[bilsu]

Well JJJ is gonna be our best player so I hope to god he isn't nailed to the bench.

I also believe JJJ is going to be our best player.

I think he'll have to wait until someone writes an article about it so he can post the entire article.

Yeah, but don't think Haanif, Wilson, JJJ, Carter, Cohen, etc. are here to pick splinters out they ass either, and with that back log, there will be ass splinters to pick, a process that could be called Wojo pickin' ai naw?

Ok, small anecdote from last night.  My son's prom.  After prom, about 5 couples came over to our house, had food, etc, etc until about 2:00am.   One of the 17 year olds is a die-hard USC fan. 

He walks into the door...."Mr Chicos, did you guys get Katin from USC today?  I just heard that from my dad"

Me:  "Apparently so"

Him:  "Dang.  That guy can shoot the 3.  You will like him.  He was our second best player"


OK, so take it for what it is worth....which is not much, I'm sure a semi-tanked teen coming from Prom, but I thought it was rather funny this was the first thing out of his mouth last night when he came into my home.

A few what may be meaningless observations.
Last year Henry was allowed to play the way he wanted. As many said here he should of been kept more under the basket. Did that hurt the team I do not know and I am not sure anyone can say for sure. We could actually be better, because we are not trying to showcase Henry's skills. Maybe that is just wishful thinking. I watched as much of the NCAA tournament as I could and two things announcers said stood out to me. I think it was Xavier they were talking about. That comment was how that team spent the whole morning pregame practice concentrating on rebounding. I am not sure how Wojo runs his practices, but maybe he needs to put more emphasis on rebounding.  In one of the North Carolina games the announcer said that North Carolina works on getting the ball to the hot shooter. It has frustrated me under Buzz and Wojo when they take the player out that just hit the three. There never seems to be much effort by MU to get the ball to the hot player.

I guess you forgot his prediction on Howard choosing MU in looking at his "track record." Oh yeah, and the guy he said who gained a lot of interest when Hank announced just happened to set up an official visit like a day after BD let us know about the increased interest. Must've just been a good guess.

And then there was something about his ability to cut hair...

[Loose Cannon]

But seriously...somebody is transferring otherwise Wojo wouldn't have set up an official visit with Kalif Young yesterday

I agree, if the source is right it seem someone is moving.  Sacar is getting great weight room reports the last 2 weeks, and Sandy has had his good moments, (I think it's his confidence, it seem to have gone down hill after that 3 on 1 play he blew for all to see)

To me that leave Wally and he could be committed 100% to High Jumping and the pull for BB may not be as great when Henry was here.

But it's all speculative, but isn't that defining the off season.

[Loose Cannon]

So how do you think Markus Howard would feel about this? I wonder if it will cause him to reconsider.

My guess is he's OK with it.  I think Wojo is like Coach K and does not Guarantee Minutes only the opportunity  to compete.

So who's Better?

[keefe]

I don't know why some want to usher Cohen out the door. 

I shy away from talking about our student athletes but I think there are some cases we need to be honest about.

Anyone expecting high major production from Cohen is not seeing things correctly.

PepsiCo is an aggressive company that has a commitment to the Street on earnings growth. It recruits from the very best schools, poaches the best talent, and pays in the top 2% because it demands exceptional performance. Pepsi has a saying - figure out immediately if you can be successful here. It's not cruel. It's honest.

And he has gotten over 10,000 views on the recruiting thread he started just a couple days ago, but that is likely because he is getting the benefit of using nearly the same title as threads started by Glow.
