Froling Gone

[willie warrior]

First off, have you ever liked anything MU does. I feel MU could replace Wojo with Al Macguire's corpse, who takes them to a national championship, and you would complain he wasn't lively enough.

Second, find a quote from Wojo that says Frolling is going to be the next coming of Jesus. He talks about his unique skill set and that he brings something different and could fill an Ellenson type role. We as fans anointed him as the savior. You are happy that he failed because now you can say Mu/Wojo are failures. As far as we truly know Wojo could have recruited him as the 11th man.

Finally, if this is such a horrendous mistake as you try to make it out to be then we are in very good hands. If this is the biggest mistake Wojo makes, I will be elated. 10th man leaves for a better opportunity.  He was also likely to fall in playing time as others got healthy.

And BTW, please brush up your spinmeistering because your take on Froling/Wojo here is weak sauce.

Hate to see him go because I have this nagging feeling that there was something there if given an opportunity to develop.  I understand opinions to the contrary since we didn't see it all that much on the court.  I wish Harry the best. 

The good news is we have people in the rotation at that spot, so it should not be too damaging to the team.  Hope we can find an adept ball handler to take that scholarship.

Well you are certainly not wrong about this. 

Yeah, I have been liking MU since Don Kojis and Dick Nixon played. Long before you ever heard of MU. But that does not mean that I will not point out mistakes, because I want the best at MU, and we ain't getting that right now.

So being older is equal to having a more credible POV on MU hoops?  If one MU player in the last decade could tell you who Don Kojis and Dick Nixon were I'll buy you a bottle of 30yr old.   Tenure means about the same in fandom as it does in the public school system........

Never said that--you did. Person asked me if there was anything I liked about MU Hoops. I responded on how long have been following them. You brought up the rest. And speaking of tenure, which you brought up, there is plenty of that going on in all aspects of society. Kind of like the excuses offered for Wojo, "He needs more tenure"

Don Kojis was at the alumni game last year and was quite popular with all the players. At age 77 he is still in great shape. Was truly one of our all time greatest players.

That's a non-sequitor. There is no relation between the question and your answer.

"Do you like anything about Marquette basketball?"

"I'm old!"

That's like saying "hospital food" when asked your favorite color, or "eighty-three" when asked if you are a dog or cat person. Simply saying you've been around for awhile doesn't give any indicator that you like something.

Yeah I thought the idea that current players have no idea who Don Kojis is to be a little off.  I mean, his banner is in the rafters. 

[Dawson Rental]

I'm thinking Morrow will see a good amount of time at the 5 too

Morrow is hoping not.  Playing the five had a lot to do with his transfer from Nebraska.  He'd like to spend his time at the three.

Does he have any eligibility left? We could use another "old" player!

Okay, well he's never even attempted a three pointer in his 53 game college career. If he's a SF this coming season then Brett Nelson needs to be the highest paid assistant in college hoops (assuming he's the one credited with everyone's shooting improvement).

When I say "time at the 5" I mean he'll guard the 5 in a lineup of the Hausers guarding the 3/4 and some combo of Howard/Elliott/Cain/Sacar guarding the 1/2. A stretch 5 in a 10-20 MPG-Depending-On-Matchups-Death-Lineup, if you will.

Jamal McKay wanted to play forward to, left MU, and played center at Iowa St., sometimes it does not work out.  I expect Joey to play some center at times on the O
end and Morrow center on D.  Can play with three forwards and 2 guards, and right now at MU it might be 4 forwards and 1 guard.  Morrow and Joey are big enough to handle most centers.

[MU82]

Positions no matta.

He gets introduced as a forward and he plays both inside and outside the lane depending on matchups.

And may guard a post position when they go small.  But I don't think that will be often.

I accept that my posturing about current players not knowing some of the players that are important to the program, but also, 60 years older than them was miss asserted.  But my point that Willies' posturing that his opinion is more valid because he's old is spot on.

Can't see the court for a non-NCAA invite team and he thinks he'll get drafted by the NBA next year? K

I mean what do you expect the kid to say?  He clearly wants to play in NBA, like just about any other kid playing D1 ball or professionally (but not in the NBA). 

I too found the comment comical, but I guess I get it.

And, its actually a semi-pro league reading the wiki page for the QBL.

I want to be the an opening day starting pitcher in the MLB next year.  But, seeing as I haven't pitched since high school...

If he really thinks he has a shot at getting darted in '19 he is going to be extremely disappointed.

To be fair, his odds of being darted are probably higher than his odds of being drafted.
