Why?

So we won't have any scholly's for 6 Top 50 players we are visiting over the next 2 weeks.....

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Because he's a really good player.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Why?

Because a 2018-2019 starting rosters of:

1: JR Markus Howard
2: SR Haanif Cheatham
3: JR Sam Hauser
4: RSJR: Ed Morrow
5: JR Harry Froling

with a bench of:
FR Joey Hauser
SR Matt Heldt
RSJR Sacar Anim
SO Jamal Cain
SO Greg Elliott
20 year old FR Brendan Bailey
SO Theo John
SO Ike Eke

Gives me a raging roster boner. If you aren't having the same reaction, you my need some Cialis

[We R Final Four]

I do not see Cain or Elliott and maybe even Sacar sitting and watching HC start games.

[Herman Cain]

I agree with this analysis.

Joey Hauser will not be riding the pine to start the game...

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I do not see Cain or Elliott and maybe even Sacar sitting and watching HC start games.

And last summer when I said HC was our 5th best player people said I was crazy and that he would be our all star. Lots can happen between now and 2018. Cain, Elliott, and Sacar may all pass HC on the depth chart. But I'm not ready to crown two three star freshmen and a kid who got 5 minutes a game while Haanif was getting 30 minutes a game as better than a guy who has spent most of his first two years starting.

Joey Hauser will not be riding the pine to start the game...

Certainly possible. I am sure I don't know what the rotation will be 2 years from now. But if Joey is good enough to replace a JR Sam Hauser, a RSJR Ed Morrow, or JR Harry Froling as a true freshman....than either they ended up not developing as I expected or we are going to have a VERY special team.

[MuMark]

Or maybe Joey will decide he wants to spend his college years someplace else.

People  talking like he is already committed is strange.

He has lots of good options and if he decides to go elseware I hope people deal with it well......but I know they won't.

[We R Final Four]

Ok--time will certainly tell. In two years if HC is starting, or as you say "better" than the players I mentioned.... he has made a HUGE jump and has greatly improved his game--which would be fantastic.

[wadesworld]

Respect the process, ai'na?

Nobody knows who will be on the roster, let alone how good each player on the roster will be, in a year, let alone in 2 years.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

People  talking like he is already committed is strange.

Absolutely. Just speculating on what the future could look like.

He has lots of good options and if he decides to go elseware I hope people deal with it well......but I know they won't.

C'mon, you know better than that!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

It would be fantastic. Also, similar to how people overestimated Cheatham's value last season, I think they are underestimating his value this season. I also only have highlight videos and recruiting service rankings to compare Cain/Elliott to Cheatham. Highlight videos don't do much for me and with Cain and Elliot both being ranked in the 140-200 range, I don't expect much more than bench minutes from them this season. If they are being undervalued (which I suspect they might be based on my amateur observations) than they will surpass that and I will be very happy. I also see no reason to think that Sacar has progressed so dramatically that he could have covered the ground between he and Cheatham during his redshirt year. Because FR year, Cheatham could eat Sacar's lunch and have room for dessert.

This is the classic..preparing to let wojo off the hook if Joey goes elsewhere. If he does..make no mistake about it..that is NOT at all a good look for Wojo. After all the time he has spent on him..having a brother and another good friend on the team..you'll blow it off as "Joey made the best decision for him"..making it sound like it was just that cut and dry. Uh uh mark..this would be a HUGE black eye for Wojo..whether you'd publicly admit it or not. You know better.

No I don't.

Every  coach loses recruits that they work hard for......Bo lost Henry to Wojo and Stone to Maryland.

If you can't handle that then you should really find another hobby.

Wait did I miss something here.  Joey has loss his free will to make his own decisions.  Wow even us Posters have that.

I don't think losing Joey is a black eye for Wojo. Nor do I think an inordinate amount of time has been put in on Joey.  I am no fan of Wojo but he is a very good recruiter, if he doesn't get Joey to join us , I am pretty sure we will get someone of equal or better ability. Wojo and his sidekick Stan have a lot of irons in the fire for 2018.  Joey has not even announced his finalist yet.  So I am quietly hoping the young man comes our way, but am also very keen on a number of the other prospects we are looking at.

Keep the faith. HC's value, or perceived Scoop value, is low. With incoming players playing similar position and potential lineup changes over the next two years, HC value expectations should be quelled. But if you feel he is being undervalued or underestimated--that's cool.
