Sandy Gone

[muhoops1]

Not good enough for ISU.

Totally.  B12 would eat him up.  Issues are mental not physical.  I swear I saw him tear up on the court after 2 TO's and an air ball vs Nova last yr.  Timing is odd which makes me believe he didn't see this drop off in playing time coming.

Who are we looking at to fill those 2?

It's November. There's not really going to be any new recruiting news for awhile.

Well hopefully it will be someone good that will be able to contribute

Poop.

Hopefully someone with size.  Next year's roster is sort of small. Probables:

Heldt with backup Theo John
Cain with backup Wilson at 6ft 2
Hauser with backup red shirt Sacar at 6ft 4

Cohen at least had some height, but no bulk.  Seemed like a fairly decent backup player his freshman year, but last year starting with BE play, he was just a mess.  Started poorly with limited play this year and hand writing on the wall with him the last man on the bench.  Wish him the best, hopefully ending up at a mid major level place.

Good luck Sandy.

Good luck Sandy.

Exactly.   I hope you find what you are looking for.

Transfers always sting for me, I remember when Jamail Jones told me he was transferring, he and I were actually friends. Always sad to see someone leave the Marquette basketball family even if it is in their best interests. Best of luck to Sandy, I really hope he finds the confidence and potential he still has.

As much as I try to avoid this damn place I just get dragged back in...

I hope he at least finishes off the year with us. It would be crazy for him to throw away a full year of eligibility after barely playing this fall. From what I understand Dawson did not get a waiver from the NCAA so that 4 minutes cost him a full year.

[Golden Avalanche]

Understandable to put yourself in best position possible but bailing 10 days into the season is a quit job. This team is nowhere near it's best positioning. It will be hot hand hula-hooping for four more weeks. Even if not an overwhelming possibility, Cohen could have made an impact to at least garner 8th or 9th man. Good luck in Green Bay.

Ooo...  Yeah he shows up as a senior on their roster even though he was clearly labelled a sophomore last year.

Yeah he had almost a month before he had to make this decision.  Kind of strange.

[GoldenDieners32]

I think he'll finish out the season with us

[Jay Bee]

No. University has announced he's left the team. #donedeal

Nope.  You don't make that announcement and stick around.

Junior wing Sandy Cohen has left the Marquette program "effective immediately," per a release.

[jsglow]

No chance.  A public announcement like that means he won't be in the Kasten practice facility ever again.  You simply can't have a guy that's leaving impact the ongoing unit.  Seems to be a curious decision by Sandy.  Before the year of after as a Junior; not now.

[wadesworld]

Gets to start talking to schools/coaches and see what his options are earlier this way. No longer on scholarship so anyone can talk to him now.

[GoldenDieners32]

Man, I still wish him the best hope he can succeed wherever he goes. All of the scoopers and mu fans are rooting for the sandman

[dgies9156]

Good luck to Sandy. Good kid that somehow didn't work here.

I hope he does well wherever he goes.

[GoldenDieners32]

If he can develop well i can see him becoming a decent player

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Good luck to Sandy. Was looking at a very Juan Anderson career here. IIRC he was the first recruit to publicly say he was staying with MU after Buzz left. I appreciated that.

He promptly tweeted that he had been released from his NLI and that his recruitment was 'wide open' when Buzz left.
