Duane Wilson Tweet

[bilsu]

Duane grow up, this is big time ball, Wojo needs to win and win now.  If Wally gets the Buzz cut,  so it happens.  Under Al, Kurt Spychalla and Randy Wade were better
than  Allie, both transferred, it is the way of life in the big leagues.  Life sometime is not fair.

Wojo was supposedly brought in to bring MU to a higher level in the character of players recruited. Wojo should be fired, if he is actually cutting Wally or any other player without the player committing some kind of infraction.

Lol

[keefe]

Didnt David Koresh say something very similar?

I don't know about Koresh but that sure sounds like The Bronze Beast of Bloomington

[rocket surgeon]

There is ZERO chance Wojo ASKED Wally to leave....none, zilch, nada. He would not burn that bridge, no way no how.

agree!  i want both the hauser boys too, not a buy one get one free deal

[rocket surgeon]

If I were a player I would just tweet cryptic messages every few weeks then come here to watch the world burn.

that would be fun.  twitt a twitt and grab the corn

Crean sucks.

[GGGG]

That's what I was thinking. Figuring going to the D League will prepare him more than another year in a system that's not his style.

Duane has zero chance at the NBA.  If Blue can light up the D-League and not get more than a cup of coffee, Duane won't.  He's not a point guard, smaller than Vander and isn't a lights out shooter.

Pure gold. Thank you for the AM laughs.

Firing him would be too kind.

Stone him to death at the village square!

Should have used teal I guess

I don't know the entire story, but wojo cut Wally Monday night.

HE GOWNE and WE GOWNE

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I don't know the entire story, but wojo cut Wally Monday night.

If true, great news.  Wally is by all means a great kid, but this team needs another big and bad.  If it wasn't Wally, it was Sandy or Anim, and those guys have more of a future with this program.  Wally would have maybe seen 5 minutes a game, and then graduates.  Again, I hope Wally lands on his feet if he decides to keep playing hoops, and finds somewhere he can get big minutes, but it just wasn't MU this year.

Without knowing exactly how this played out (again, if true), I am glad to see Wojo not pussyfoot around this situation due to Henry.  Wally was clearly the guy that needed to go to get this roster in the best position as possible to succeed. 

[DJO's Jaw]

I don't know the entire story, but wojo cut Wally Monday night.

I heard they fired Wojo on Monday and hired Wally to replace him.

[GGGG]

I disagree.  Wojo bringing in Wally as a transfer basically only to get Henry for one year, and then cutting him a couple weeks after Henry declares is pretty shady.  I don't mind bringing in a kid with good intentions only to be honest with him later about where he stands, but it could be argued that this was basically using someone to get to someone else.  Now he really has no options if he wants to play basketball at the highest level.

Unless there is more to this story, I am not very happy about this.  I'm not with bilsu that Wojo should be fired over this, but does this really represent what you want Marquette to be about?

I am not going to judge as we don't know any of the story let alone the full story.

Like it or not this scenario is a part of College Bball. Wojo is paid to get the program back to the tourney.  This has happened with our last two coaches and will happen with our next two as well (sans a change in ncaa rules)

[Wojo'sMojo]

I don't know the entire story, but wojo cut Wally Monday night.

While not ideal, this isn't terrible news. It allows us to hopefully improve our thin front court. I'm actually hoping Sandy is the next to go...he is in way over his head and I never have seen a high D1 caliber player in him. I think he should transfer closer to home and think UWGB would be a great fit. It would be a win win for both parties.

[San Diego Warrior]

If Wally was cut, does he still have to sit out a year to transfer?

Wait, wait, wait. Is there ANY proof that this actually happened with Wally? Like, an iota of evidence that Wally won't be on the team next year, much less that he was Buzzcut? Bald speculation doesn't count as evidence.

Essentially my point.  That and the outrage is silly as this happens all the time (both ways as more kids leave willingly)

[GGGG]

There isn't any outrage.  And I specifically said "unless there is more to the story."

absolutely agree with this-hopefully this was all worked out with the ellensons first, otherwise it's cold man.  maybe that's why it really hasn't been news.  there was an agreement in place.  so is wally still on scholly for track?

Sorry I quoted you on the first point as opposed to the second. Understood.

This must be your first time on the internet.

This reminds me of the old B & W movies, where all the reporters are racing to be firsts to the phones!
