New Warrior Katin Reinhardt

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Sure, let's alienate the biggest name to play basketball at Marquette in decades.... for you.  Who needs NBA players who have good things to say about your school when you're recruiting?

Its not for ME. Its for the betterment of the team. If Wally moves on, I can assure you I had nothing to do with it. 

Plus, being real with Wally and telling him that he's unlikely to get off the bench next year shouldn't alienate Henry - it sure didn't this season when Wally barely got off the bench with a shorthanded team.

Edit - and if you mean the comment about Henry paying his way - I was only kidding. Wally can pay for it for all I care - I just meant that he won't be using a scholarship that we badly need to use on a rebounder.

Plus - Wojo know someone is leaving. He wouldn't have scheduled Young to visit if there was no room for him.

I'm sorry but this is not a smart idea on many levels. Other coaches would have a field day with this one.

Yeah, I was talking about telling Wally to tell Henry pay his way, though I think that taking Wally's schollie away now that Henry's gone would probably leave a bad taste in HE's mouth regardless of what was said or not said.  Of course, that doesn't mean that Wally won't be giving it up on his own.

I completely agree with you that Wojo believes someone we don't know about yet is going/gone or he wouldn't be getting Young on campus.  In fact, I bet that MU wouldn't have offered Reinhardt if that wasn't the case.  I think getting a frosh big in the program would have been too important to pass on for Reinhardt.

This happens literally every single day in the offseason of CBB.

Yep. The schools and coaches have the upper hand in almost every aspect.

A few young men benefit from the graduate transfer rules and of course the multimillion-dollar coaches want to eliminate that, too.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Sure - but why limit yourself like that for a guy that at best will be 10th or 11th in the rotation and is nothing more than an energy guy that will graduate at the end of the year.  Trading him for a 6-8 or 6-9 rebounding machine makes much more sense.

Not actually what I was getting at. As I've stated elsewhere, I'm more worried about our lack of bigs in 2017-2018 than I am about our lack of bigs in in 2016-2017. We could get a grad transfer big this season sure. That would make us great this season if its the right player. But then we are really behind the 8 ball in 2017-2018. We'd have Matt Heldt and that's it. Sure we could get a grad transfer big next offseason, but that's a big if. If another schollie came available, I'd rather spend it on a Kalif Young or a traditional transfer like Dylan Ose....ski. Another option is a grad transfer like Patrick Steeves or Derail Green who have two years of eligibility left. But they aren't great rebounders either.

You mean, of course, figuratively literally... because literally literally, I don't think this is possible. 

I mean... every single day, as in literally literally every single day?  I think there literally literally has to at least be one day during the off-season where this literally literally doesn't happen, otherwise figuratively literally every team would have to be doing this, and I figuratively literally find that difficult to believe, figuratively speaking.

(Grammar police, please advise on the use of a double figurative and to whether such is subject to the same literal treatment as double negatives, and figuratively, whether meaning is assessed similarly.)

[Loose Cannon]

This sure seem to be the most likely scenario as things stand right now.

[Spotcheck Billy]

They were last place in conference play in 3 point shooting % at 29.1%.  And they were playing in the National Title.

they were also the worst ever in UNC history

About the schollie----What happened to Sacar. Is he still on the team?

Yes.  Why do you keep asking?

Yes....it's there a reason you think he's not?

[brewcity77]

About the schollie----What happened to Sacar. Is he still on the team?

Yes. Our current roster for next year:

Seniors: (4) Katin Reinhardt, Luke Fischer, Jajuan Johnson, Wally Ellenson
Juniors: (3) Duane Wilson, Andrew Rowsey, Sandy Cohen
Sophomores: (4) Haanif Cheatham, Traci Carter, Matt Heldt, Sacar Anim
Freshmen: (2) Sam Hauser, Markus Howard

Thanks, and in case anyone still cares, I did update the scholarship table.  It currently shows -1, with a footnote about Bailey.

Suddenly, we are an experienced team.   Still undersized.

3 seniors will be our 3 best players, IMO, if the roster stays as is.

Thanks, rocky. At least I still care, I refer to it numerous times throughout the year. It's a great tool.

Disagree on 3 best players, Haanif will be in our top 3 players next year #donedeal

Who joins him? I was between JJ and HC for the third slot. Think Luke has his best year and Reinhardt will be a very pleasant surprise to those that wished we used the last open schollie on a "big".

I think more people will be surprised if they think Reinhardt is taking up the last open schollie.

[AZWarrior]

You mean, of course, figuratively literally... because literally literally, I don't think this is possible. 

Who knows?  Because no one (speaking figuratively here) knows the proper usage of the term "literally".  In fact, everyone (again, speaking figuratively) seems to get the usage consistently backward.

[Marcus92]

Thanks, rocky. At least I still care, I refer to it numerous times throughout the year. It's a great tool.

Look how beautifully balanced the scholarship table is right now. 4 seniors, 3 juniors, 4 sophomores, 3 freshmen (if you include Bailey).

I forget sometimes that Duane has two years of eligibility left. He turns 22 this September, and he's been with the team for 3 years — so I think of him as a senior.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I agree. I think Haanif will be in the mix as well.

We have a deep and experienced team next season. Biggest concerns are size and lack of a "superstar" player to lead the team. Can one of the three seniors or Haanif step into that role?

Wally was the only player on last year's team that would actually pursue a rebound.

[Silkk the Shaka]

Wally was the only player on last year's team that would actually pursue a rebound.

His brother got all the easy boards, Wally got all the tough ones. No one else got any. This is well documented.
