Roster Released

[ZiggysChestHair]

For guys that weigh 170 pounds it should be all about gaining weight. 6'6 guards should be 190 at least. I'm not trying to be a d*ck, but 5 pounds is a joke after a year. I'm not putting it all on the coaches but they need to change their diet to put on weight. You can't defend at 175. Markus weighs 175 and he's 5'10 for gods sake. I'm very excited to see Chartouny & Morrow defend this year.

I believe your views on putting on weight after a single year are too heavily influenced by the VicMc soft serve machine.

NO senior year of HS stats for Brendanin his official bio...  oversight?

[MU82]

I've got some fat I could donate to our guys!

[MUBigDance]

Do you think the Height stats are all pretty accurate? Especially in high school Basketball, that height stat gets stretched. But not sure if it happens at the college level...and guys are still growing.

Like Cam at 5'10" - no way. that bugged me all last year.

[MU82]

In high school, my 5-3 daughter was listed at 5-6.

As if her being 5-6 would have intimidated her opponents!

"Uh-oh ... we have to play Payton Prep. They have that 5-6 giant from the Amazon!"

The best Big East newcomer no one's talking about may be Marquette's Brendan Bailey. Missed last two seasons due to Mormon Mission. 6-8. Oozes talent.

Luckily that KD kid did not come to MU, somebody that skinny will never make it

I know I'm a few days late to this, but just had to give a +1000 on this as well as the comments about certain players' frames being incompatible with becoming a brick wall. These comments all fit hand in hand.

What do you think the over/under is on the amount of comments during the season of "he should have hit the weight room", "he should hit the weight room this offseason and put on 15 pounds of muscle", etc. Whatever it is, I'm taking the over. As it turns out, these guys are pretty strong, and strong enough. What is referenced is actually frame and not muscle. They could do a 24 month cycle of Winstrol and still look like "they need to hit the weight room". It's as if some have already forgotten our (recent) legacy of weirdly shaped players doing well, and completely ripped bowling balls doing poorly.

Cain especially looked pretty muscular in his freshman season, IMO. I just think his body is pretty much already maxed out. He might put on some, but it wouldn't impact his game much either way. If KD could be one of the best college players of all time as a freshman that couldn't even bench 175 pounds once, then I think we can do just fine with a few skinny-appearing role players at Marquette University.

Never pay much attention to the walk-ons. Isn't four a lot?

[Loose Cannon]

I'm kind' a curious as to what Tommy Gardiner brings.

Can't tell if you're serious or not but third or fourth best player depending on the night for a very good Maine South team last year.

Was probably their best player before he blew out his knee junior year and never really recovered from that.

I'm serious, I thought I read something like you descript, and I have a good feeling about him.   I hope some nice comments come from his practices.  Thanks for your input you seem to know the Chicago area very well.  Thanks again.

He will be a fine walkon. I mean, it's not like someone just loses their talent, and he was a pretty talented kid before the injury.

Where he probably helps the most is on the scout team. Maine South ran some pretty ridiculous offensive sets and if MU ever needed to prepare for a zone defense, I don't think Gardiner played more than 10 minutes of man to man defense in his high school career.

[reinko]

Who else would even be close? I don't think your position is even arguable, he is the best one and done ever in terms of NBA career

In terms of NBA accomplishments, yes.  In terms of college accomplishments, I would go with Melo

I would go Anthony Davis slightly over Melo.  Consensus player of the year and NCAA champion.

Once Brendan calibrates himself to the pace of play at the high major level he will do very well.  The beauty is we don't have to throw him to the wolves on day 1.

[4everwarriors]

Pretty sure the opponent on day 1 is Sisters of Perpetual Motion Community College, sew wee could throw F*ckin, BeeJay, and 3 midgets (not ment ta offend any y'all midgets out der) and stiil wynn bye 20, aina?

Actually Day 1 is an inter squad scrimmage.  And since we!re the deepest team in America, he better prepare for the wolves.

Just ask #1 overall seed Virginia about how bad our opening opponent is.
