Froling Gone

[drewm88]

There are REALLY big Marquette fans who don't remember Terry Sanders or Todd Townsend but know exactly who Niv is.

We should remember Terry Sanders more often.

Good luck to Harry.  Appreciative of his time here.  Hoping he finds a good spot.

Fox Sports Australia reports that Harry will return home in the next week and their sources say he will hire an agent and go pro.  Will this hurt MU's APR?

[willie warrior]

Our roster build is such that him leaving doesn't put us in a bind... we're fine.

But, I refute the claim that he was a bust with little to no hope going forward... he gave us a look that Matt and Theo didn't.

Plus-rebounder, good size, with the ability on offense to face up and shoot from outside, as well as distribute.

There's a good chance he could have become a nice piece over the next two years. Would have been happy to see him stay.

No, he was not a bust, he was just a Wojo mistake.

It has a Nev Berkowitz feel but lasted longer.

Luke was a midseason transfer and looked just fine from day one.

Luke also had to play, since MU had very few players. Part of Froling's problem may have been not being able to play enough to get comfortable playing. It is not easy to start playing at the start of Big East season. I do not know, if it would of actually made a difference, but he needed to play against the so called bunny teams to get use to playing in real games.

I would have to imagine so. Finals aren't until the week of May 7.

Does the NBL have any kind of draft information available? I haven't been able to find much, but I would assume there has to be some kind of projected draft out there somewhere. Any ideas about what the prospects are like?

The NBL has a modest salary cap and a lot of that goes to former US G/D League players.  Not going to get big bucks.

I actually saw Harry tonight around 6 in the Apple store in Mayfair while I was getting my phone fixed, he was wearing MU gear and looking at iPhones and I was surprised to get on here to find out this news broke before I even saw him there. Best of luck to the kid

Better to buy one in the US... Iphones are about 20% more expensive in Australia.  On his Aussie pro salary, he'll need to save money because it's about the same as working at Starbucks. 

Anyway, good luck to him and hope he continues to develop and finds a place where he can play the game, make some money and enjoy.

I read the NBL has a salary system that requires the bottom 5 salaries to total no more than $400,000.

I guess it's a way of preventing the richer clubs from filling the entire roster with more expensive talent.

Looking at this year's NBL rosters, JP Tokoto averaging around 15 points per game, and DJ Newbill around 14

Jamal Cain?

Jamal Cain?

What about him?

Something I heard in relation to Harry.  Wondered if anyone else heard anything.

Care to explain?

[4everwarriors]

You insinuatin', hey?

[romey]

Care to explain?

Not really. Unless someone corroborates, I'm not starting unfounded rumors.  I'll wait because as far as I know, that's all it is - a rumor.

You haven't really outlined what you've heard so how can it be corroborated?

If someone else heard it, they'll know exactly what I mean.  It's very specific.

Sounds juicey, hey?

If guys of that caliber are putting up OK but not good numbers, I wonder if Harry will be able to land with a team. I'm sure their games have changed over the years, but to me, it seems like the quality of the league must be pretty good using Tokoto and Newbiill as the barometer.

Not a lot of names there.

I've watched quite a bit of NBL over the years because it was the only ball on TV in some of the places I lived.  IMHO Harry's only chance is to grab a development slot.  The bigs in that league - and each team seems to have 2 or 3 - are all his size and are seriously physical.  Lots of 6'7-6'9 guys who can shoot, too.  David Anderson is one of my favorites.

Spreading unfounded rumors is dumb and dangerous.  I appreciate the discretion.

Reading between the lines, I sure HOPE this rumor is false.  There were times over the course of the season I sensed some frustration on Jamal's part.
