The Brother connection

[Aircraftcarrier]

Could it be that the Hauser's and Froling's bring MU back to National prominence?

[4everwarriors]

We all be bros, hey?

[We R Final Four]

We have heard it from other scoopers that the hauser parents and brother were taking note of the Georgetown game........so based upon that, I don't think that we can count on Joey even having any interest at this point.

[skianth16]

As much as I'd love to have Joey Hauser, we have kind of a tough roster for him to like coming in as a freshman. He'd have Heldt, Eke, and John all ahead of him at the 4, plus we'd have S. Hauser, Cain, and Bradley that could possibly rotate into the 4 depending on the lineups. At that point, our roster would have a ton of guys in the 6'7" - 6'9" range, which could be a tough sell.

On the other hand, he's a better recruit than anyone he might contend with for minutes, so maybe he would still have a good shot at starting or being a 6th man right away. Plus, being a local kid and having his brother on the team are always going to be positives. Let's just hope that's enough to lure him away from Izzo and Bennet.

Idk who Bradley is and Heldt aint playing the 4.

There would be plenty of room for him the way Wojo likes to play.

If he is that good, then he will play and play a lot.

No idea how you think that roster would scare off Joey. If Joey is worried about Matt then maybe we should be worried about Joey. We have NO idea how Eke and John will work out. I look at this as plenty of opportunity for Joey to earn playing time. Nobody in that group will hinder him at all.

[MuMark]

Considering all the guys who were "ahead" of Markus and Sam this year I'm amazed they ever saw the court......

[skianth16]

My bad, I meant Bailey.

I hope you're right. But we've also had issues with guys walking over playing time in the past, so when I see a strong recruit coming into a roster that has a few other guys in that position, I worry. From what I've read about Hauser, I would expect him to be a starter as a freshman, but I also haven't seen anything from Eke or John yet.

[T-Bone]

We're talking Sam Froling?  Sounds like a hobbit name.

[GoldenDieners32]

We need Joey

[wadesworld]

If there's one thing Wojo has shown it's that he's not opposed to giving freshman a lot of playing time.

We need Joey

We don't need any one recruit.  Joey would be outstanding.  But if he doesn't come we aren't folding the program or leaving the BE, despite what vogue would like.

Didn't say that just saying if we got him it would be a huge pickup

In this day and age, hard to know who is going to be around in 2 years.  Heldt, Eke and John could all be gone by then. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm down, but good lord that would be a tall roster. Can't happen as Wojo can't recruit big men.

Backup PG is the position I'm worried about. Think we need to find somebody in the 2018 class to fill that role.

[skianth16]

The roster in 2018, with or without Joey, is going to be long, which is something we haven't had the luxury of experiencing in a while. We'd look a lot like this year's Georgetown team, but hopefully more talented and more disciplined. Hopefully some of the incoming recruits will add some athleticism to the 2/3 spot, because as much as I like Sam, he's not exactly a slasher.

[nyg]

If MU recruits anybody who is "behind" Heldt, then that is a problem. 

[Johnny B]

not sure its possible to recruit behind him, unless youre recruiting d 2 players

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

How quickly Heldt has fallen. A few weeks ago when Luke was struggling there was a sizable group calling for Heldt to start. Now he's a D2 player!

[tower912]

Heldt is developing on schedule.    He is the exact kind of big that neither Crean nor Buzz could land.    If he had been able to red-shirt last year and was now a RS frosh, he would be on schedule to be just like one of those Badger bigs that piss us off.     

Brother connection.    I will happily take the younger Froling and the younger Hauser.     But after that, Wojo better be landing some guards.    Although, I expect that with the logjam at the 3-4-5 that landing these two would create, there would inevitably be transfers.

If our biggest worry for 2018 is a back up point guard let's buy those final four tix now!

Delveoping into what? he cant even get minutes on a small sized team. Hes atrociously awful. il have what youre drinking buddy

[tower912]

A serviceable big.  Not a star.  A defend, rebound, score off dump offs and putbacks kind of big.

[MU82]

Delveoping into what? he cant even get minutes on a small sized team. Hes atrociously awful. il have what youre drinking buddy

Aside from the fact that you spell like a 3-year-old ...

Grimm and Mbao were "atrociously awful." Heldt has been fine, doing exactly what has been expected of him most games and a little more in a few.

The problem will be if we have to play him more than 10-15 minutes. He's kind of the Derrick Wilson of centers; you can tell if you're in trouble as a team based upon the minutes he plays!

[21rooster]

For the level of programs that Joey will be considering, I'm pretty confident that MU will have the least competition for minutes.  Blue bloods don't just have wide open minutes waiting for a freshman.  If he doesn't come, it's likely because of four straight years with no NCAA tournament.

THIS right here will more then solve the PG issues the first year in the new Arena...the absolute PERFECT PG for this Offense

Really? If he can't earn playing time (a lot of it) going against those guys, then he ain't no 5-star. But I'm sure he doesn't wanna sit behind Heldt.

But he is and he will get all the floor time that he wants as a freshman.

How do you even remember to go back to say thata

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Shoulda made it to the game!!

[wadesworld]

Does Heldt have a little brother?!

[tower912]

How do you even remember to go back to say thata

It was one of those statements that was so egregiously wrong that it stuck with me.   Let's raise a glass to Matt!   And all of his' atrocious awfulness'.

[GGGG]

It's a good lesson to learn Johnny...bigs like Matt take awhile.  Since he is not overly athletic, he has had get stronger, and to learn how to better position himself and perform at this level.  That isn't easy to do when he was used to pretty much dominating because of his size.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Tower, LOVE it!

[Galway Eagle]

chill man

Hah we've all said our fair share of stupid stuff on here. Eat crow quick then move on and be thankful it was tower not one of the smug posters to call you on it.

[Slim]

Does Heldt have a little brother?!

And does he have a big neck?

[Newsdreams]

And does he have a big neck?

If it is too big BOT won't allow his recruitment
