Good for Joey.

skianth16 · « **Reply #2 on:** December 10, 2018, 12:52:26 PM »

With the way he's been playing lately, I think it's safe to say he may get a few more of these this year

He's really groin into his role.

Joey is the BEast freshman of the week? That's just nuts.

When he signed with MU over UW, I think we all saw that Joey’s pen is strong. Now we know for sure.

Sorry, my puns are a work in progress....

Dude must be on the verge of setting some kind of record. Ohio State, Oklahoma, DePaul, and now TA&M-Commerce...and he's still just listed as a Junior. Four schools, with another year of eligibility remaining? C'mon, Austin - see if you can make it five or six!

Would have been a real dick move for the BEast to give this award to anybody but Joey, who sources say celebrated with a delicious Nutty Buddy treat.

On a related note, I just bought a new cup for my umpiring work. It's also called the Nutty Buddy.

Joey has showed some real stones in some of these big games this year, but he definitely gets testy when things aren’t going the way the team wants. Playing as well as he is is really hard, do you think he can do it all year long?

MU82 · « **Reply #50 on:** December 11, 2018, 09:19:26 AM »

Getting serious for one second (sorry), I now do see why so many folks said Joey could end up being better than Sam.

Thrilled to have this kid in our program. Double-thrilled to have both Hausers.

I think Markus is so low because of his height, and that he really doesn’t have much at all to offer at the next level other than his scoring talent, which will be even harder to use with the added height and athleticism of defenders at the next level

Markus is a poor man's Kemba Walker.

Their games and body types are similar. Kemba, however, has an amazing handle and, to return to the theme of most of this thread, a huge set of onions. Markus is a better pure shooter than Kemba was at this stage.

Kemba Walker led the nation in scoring his junior year I believe, at least he was at the point I got to see him come in to the Bradley Center and leave with a win in 2011. He’s also 2 inches taller than Markus, and averaged twice as many steals, and was a slightly better distributor going on their assist numbers. Only way I see Markus getting drafted is if he leads MU on a run that could hope to be even close to the one that Walker led UConn on to win the title in 2011. Markus is a better pure scorer than he was at the same stage but nothing else.
