Atlanta has acquired New Orleans No. 4 pick in the draft for No. 8 and 17 and 35, league sources tell ESPN. Pelicans are sending Solomon Hill, No. 57 pick and a future second-round pick.

Atlanta moving up for Deandre Hunter.

David Griffin DEALING. The list of picks and assets he's acquired in this trade is remarkable. Cam Reddish at 8 and someone like Brandon Clarke at 17 would look real nice.

Also, Zion is incredibly likeable. The genuine tears and emotion in that interview were really endearing. What a way to transition from AD

[4everwarriors]

So glad Woj didn't recruit that POS Herro. Who needs a lottery pick shooting guard? Miami sure got uck fayed, hey?

[The Sultan]

Wojo recruited Herro.  He just read the tea leaves early.

Sammie and Joey didn't wanna share toys in da sandbox, aina?

I sat right next to Wojo and Nelson when Herro and his Whitnall team were playing Brown Deer before Herro committed to UW. I feel fairly confident they were not there to recruit anyone other than Herro from those two teams, and I feel fairly confident they weren't just going to watch a kid they were not recruiting. He committed to UW early. And when he decommitted he was not going anywhere but a blue blood program after blowing up at Team USA camp. MU was never an option for him.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Heading to bed, only 1 Big East player picked, Eric Paschall from Nova in the 2nd round. All three early entries (Krampelj, Ponds, Simon) still on the board with 2 picks left.

I just posted this on the Hanging topic on this:

https://www.buckys5thquarter.com/2017/10/17/16492878/tyler-herro-decommits-wisconsin-basketball-recruiting

"When he committed to Wisconsin last year, he did so while holding offers from "dream school" Arizona and Marquette, as well as Creighton, Florida, Indiana, Iowa State, Purdue, Xavier, and others."


https://marquettewire.org/3953484/sports/recruiting-herro-picks-wisconsin-over-mu-others/

"For the second time in 34 days, head basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski and his staff came up short on a highly-touted recruit in Milwaukee County.  This time Tyler Herro, a 2018 guard and resident of Greenfield, Wisconsin, opted to attend Wisconsin."


https://usatodayhss.com/2017/tyler-herro-decommits-from-wisconsin

"He initially chose UW over Arizona, Florida, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa State, Marquette and several other schools."


https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/21057553/tyler-herro-no-27-espn-100-decommits-wisconsin-badgers

"Prior to his commitment, Herro had a long list of schools involved in his recruitment, including Marquette, DePaul, Arizona, Oregon and Arizona State."


http://snotapwi.com/tyler-herro-chooses-wisconsin-over-marquette/

"Tyler Herro, a 6'4 guard from Whitnall High School, committed to Wisconsin over Marquette and countless other schools yesterday."


So can we be done with the duma$$ narrative that Wojo didn't recruit Tyler Herro?

Thanks for showing the work, FBM. If Wojo had devoted more time to recruiting Herro, then we'd hear about how he doesn't know how to prioritize and wasted his time and resources for a guy he'd never get. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.  And regardless of one's position on Wojo, he's earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to in-state blue chippers.

?????   He was offered, he was never coming to MU.

You're a hoot, Doc.

That Wojo didn't appease the Hausers to keep them at MU is on Wojo.

That Wojo did appease the Hausers regarding Herro is also on Wojo.

When a recruit signs elsewhere, you all but celebrate a Wojo miss.

When he lands good recruits, it's either crickets or some veiled rip.

At least you're consistent, oon'a?

Hey mods, is the "next political post earns a ban" still in place?  Banny McBannerson is hoping this one gets him a set of steak knives.

Everyone on Scoop knows I am loathe to defend Chico ever, but....

I don't think we ban people for bad puns.

I agree with most of your posts, TSmith, but I think you took this a bit too seriously.

While I would not favor a ban, what Cheeks wrote was not a play on words (a pun) but an opinion - that some in this country consider Bo Bergdahl a hero (insinuating, I guess, that Bo is a hero to some on the left). I would guess very few of any political persuasion believe this.

Jockey, I believe the same as Lenny -- it is just another of Chicos' colossally stupid right-wing slurs.  It was not a play on Bo Ryan.  He is quite literally unable stop himself from repeating idiotic things like this.

[MU82]

It was absolutely political, and not the first political post he has had since the "next political talk gets a ban" warning.

I guess his rabbit's foot is working well for him.

Let me correct myself, Lenny and Mike.

I mixed up two different threads. I was reading the other thread involving Herro and UW - and, skimming too quickly, took it as a pun about Bo Ryan and Tyler Herro.

It was my mistake, Chico should be banned, and I was an idiot for even entertaining the idea of defending him.

How is that a political post?  It isn't.  What I stated was true, he is a hero to some people in this country.  You disagree, that's fine and your right....but what I said was true.  His father, some of his fellow soldiers, and some members of his hometown call him a hero. As do many other people.  That was my statement, it is factually true and you are reading something that isn't there. Nothing about ideology, politics, etc, and no insinuation either.  I simply said he is a hero to some people in this country. FACT.

As an example:

"To those of us in Hailey, he is certainly a hero," said Sue Martin,  Sgt Bergdahl's former boss the owner of Zaney's River Street Coffee House


If my post was political, then wouldn't Lenny's be political from the start for bringing this man's name up in the first place? Personally, I say no.  Also, didn't someone yesterday bring up a candidate's name in the UCONN to Big East thread  https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=58833.msg1139723#msg1139723 ?   I don't recall you guys saying a single word about their comments, because you didn't. 

Stop reading into things that aren't there.  Let's stick to truthful posts based on facts...as I did.

So all of your political posts are not factual? They are filled with lies? Good to know!

My post wasn't politicL....but seeing the three or four of you that reacted and saw it that way makes me feel group think is alive and well...you have a lot in common.

Hey mods, is the "next political post earns a ban" still in place?

Well, I mean, since it was my rule early in the week, yes it's still in place.  I then took a few day Scoopcation (totally voluntary - others could learn!).  In the meantime SoCal locked the "Here comes the judge" thread, and I still own one of the magical ban-hammers.
