"I'm always texting my guys, seeing what they're up to," Ellenson said. "It's nice to see how they're doing. I know they've hit a little tough stretch here, but hopefully they can get back to their winning ways and try to win out the rest of the Big East and get to the tournament, which I know they want bad."

Sounds like a guy who hates Marquette and has long-term, deep-seated resentment.

I would take a four-year year guy like Hayes, Happ and Kaminsky any day over a one-and-done. Let him go to Kentucky or Duke.

You mean 5* year

Yes and this "....feels great to be back at BMO," Ellenson said. "It was fun to get back today. I went to Marquette's campus to see my teammates and see some of my friends, so it's good to be back in Milwaukee."

This is just too funny

Wojo talked the most prized recruit into taking a chance on a program that was left pretty much empty post-Buzzard.

Henry came in and put up the greatest freshman season in the history of the program. Along the way he almost single-handedly gave the media a positive story about the momentum Wojo was building in Milwaukee. A bright spot. A reason to believe.

In his shadow, Haanif had an ALL BIG EAST freshman year that had many on this board and elsewhere believing he was on his way to eclipsing McSteal as our all time leading scorer.

Also with his help, Fischer looked to be developing with an Honorable Mention All Big East effort and, during Big East play, it looked like JJJ was emerging.

And then you get Howard and Hauser who sign on the heels of all that good news. And the long-armed three-headed monster headed to Milwaukee next season.

Sure things have stalled in some of those places. But is it HE's fault that JJJ failed to work on driving to his left and Haanif failed to work on going right? Or that Big East coaching staffs have figured out how to close out on our slick-shooting freshman?

That's a hell of a lot of momentum. It's a lot of reasons for people to believe in the program. Do you really think that happens without Henry?

If we wanna blame Wojo for something, make it our lack of length on the wings, the absence of a big-bodied rebounder/defender. But lets not be mad at him for landing such a good player.

This is just silly to say. For every four-year guy like Hayes, Happ, and Kaminsky, you have a dozen Ian Markolf, Vitto Brown, Evan Anderson, Ryan Evans, Jason Chappell, type of players.

When you recruit a unheralded three or fringe four star player, you might end up getting lucky, but more often than not they'll be bit players that maybe develop into serviceable players as seniors. When you recruit a five-star one-and-done, you probably get an elite player 95% of the time. Maybe only one year, but I'm willing to wager the average one-and-done produces more in that one year than the average three-star does at the same level of program.

The Badgers have been to the dance the last 17 or 18 years straight years, sure they are going to recruit a dog or two, but mainly recruit solid 3 and 4 star recruits, add coaching, I see no luck, I see hard work that kids stay 4 or 5 years there.  Starting next year, it will be interesting as there bench really is not very good, average
at best,  but they signed some good 3 and 4 star recruits again.  See if they can keep there streak going.  Rather do it there way.

The Badgers wanted Henry even though they were pretty sure he'd be a 1-and-done. They wanted Vander, too. And Maymon. They go after 5-stars and high-4s like everybody else if they think they have a shot.

But yes, they have done a nice job developing guys who aren't ranked that high. There is no disputing that.

They've made excellent use of the redshirt. Can we hit gold with Sacar or someone on the next class?

Ha, true, but we could not have caught UW at a better time. What a bizarre window of about a month and a half followed by picking up right where they left off...damn it.

We only beat the easy Badger teams.
