Oh the irony if true. Where’s 82 with some snark?

[TheREALwrk]

Hopefully from the same guy who told you #donedeal about Markus leaving.  And "home" lol

You really are dense.

[GB Warrior]

I have no inside knowledge and I'm not saying everything is perfect with MUBB, but you are putting wayyyy too much stock in a tweet from Harry f'in Froling.

Froling never saw a shot he couldn't make and didn't take anyway.

[PGsHeroes32]

Texas??

Lol they should fit well in Shaka system.

Especially Joey

If that tweet is true, they would be better served going to play for Buzz at TAMU to be honest.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

This is such a gut punch.  Time heals everything, but right now, my level of interest in next season just took a nosedive.  Seriously depressing sh*t.

Harry Froling’s Twitter right now is interesting...

Wojo could be gone by the end of the week if you think there’s any truth to what he’s tweeting.

If you're going to post something like that, at least provide context. 

Harry quoted Sam's tweet as said "People really have no idea what goes on behind closed doors!  Goodluck borhter. Big things ahead." 

Doesn't really seem that bad coming from a guy who has already transferred out.

Both Hausers don't have the athleticism to play for Buzz

My question is, what was Joey’s gripe? The kid got every opportunity to succeed as a Freshman on a top-25 team for much of the season.

If I remember right, so many people wanted him out of the starting lineup many times over this season because he was such a liability on defense and went into incredible slumps but he still got tons of minutes.

This reeks of something personal beyond on the court issues

[Untucked]

Michigan State possibly?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Michigan State possibly?

That’s what I’m thinking. Mr. Hauser just followed them before deleting his twitter account.

[connie]

Balls.

So we have Wisconsin, VA, Texas.  What looks the most reasonable?  I'm leaning toward the Badgers.

There already are at least a half-dozen threads going on, and probably will be more before I finish this. I'll put this here because it's as good a place as any ...

As many know, I have been one of Wojo's vocal supporters, but there is no doubt that this sets us back considerably, and I don't see how he or his program recovers. As one who usually defended him, I do feel let down; I can't lie about that.

As the "CEO" of his program, Wojo looks weak here, like he has little control over anything. It's a terrible look, and it means he is officially on the clock.

This, combined with the way it ended with the Ellensons, as well as some players earlier in his tenure (Taylor, Carter, Cheatham, Burton, Dawson, etc), even the Froling tweet ... all of it adds up. One can look at each situation and explain it, but coaches are great at negative recruiting, and right now Wojo is an easy mark for them.

"You're really considering Marquette? Have you heard about this? And this? And this and this and this? Do you really want your precious son to play for him?"

Obviously, this Hauser situation is more damning than any of the others -- Wisconsin kids leaving "home" even as the team seemed on the verge of greatness. I don't know how Wojo overcomes this. It's a vicious body-blow to his program.

As for the Hausers ...

I am one who said last week that they had options -- came right out and said they should transfer if they hated it so much -- so I am not going to rip them for doing just that. Nor will I bash them for their shortcomings that were part of our late-season collapse, because they had plenty of company in that department, including Wojo and Markus.

Lastly, as a person in his fifth decade of Marquette fandom, I am a little sad that some of Wojo's detractors seem almost giddy about this. I guess because it validates their opinions about him and lets them revel in their miserableness? 

How wonderful that our program -- one that seemed on the verge of our best season in at least 7 years -- now will probably have yet another long stretch of suckitude.

Congrats, folks ... you "win"!

Probably true, but they would be in much better shape after Buzz's training program.

Hate to say it, but Sam & Joey gone makes a little sense of something I saw in Hartford.

Having been on road trips during my college days, there was a certain camaraderie -- at the hotels, at meal time, riding on the bus, etc. -- where we all stuck together, no matter our differences off the ice or back at school.  If we had free time at the hotel - at the very least - the forwards (or each line) kept together, and the defense and goalies would hang together (sometimes together, sometimes separate).  The only exception was when the captains would split off from their respective groups, but nobody stayed behind and nobody went out alone, ever.

Back in Hartford.... later that evening, after the Murray State game, my daughter and I were going back to our room when we ran into several players in the hotel hallway, who were chatting with (presumably) a donor.  They were all together, dejected, but appearing somewhat relieved that the season was over.  Let's put it this way... anyone who's ever seen a competitor have their heart ripped out could plainly see they were all leaning on, and supporting, one another (metaphorically speaking) in their moment of misery.  As we're about to get to the elevator, out comes Theo, who catches up to the rest.  After we get on the elevator, my daughter says, "he's pretty big," and it hits me... they were all bigs, but notably missing from that group was the brothers.

Granted, two different sports, two different eras... but personally, it struck me as odd how - what now turns out to be our entire front court next year - were hanging together sans the brothers. 

Maybe Sam and Joey were doing the family thing with their parents, maybe they were with Todd tending to injuries, who knows.  Just one person's observation that, while innocuous on its own, may now add a little color in the grand scheme in retrospect.

[THEbig0]

Sam has to sit out a year, thought he'd be a grad transfer for sure in this case.

It just doesn't make sense for a guy the announcers thought would be an NBA player to sit out another year before trying to get paid. Just for what...more attention? Higher pick?  Probably not for a better team.  To wait to play with his brother when they are older and have a chance to really  make a name for themselves as a duo?  Don't get it.
