Where will the Hausers land?

[Pops Sims]

Most folks won't want to read this but I would be surprised if it's NOT UW.

1) Sam's girlfriend plays volleyball at UW

2) The Hauser and Davison families are very close

3) Their high school point guard plays at UW

4) UW has open scholarships for 2020


I don't think it's a coincidence they announced their "intentions" shortly after Howard announced he's returning. Whatever choice they make, I suspect it will be within the next month if not sooner.

Stay tuned...

C'mon dude. This is real life chit, not some Netflix feel good melodrama. Adios to all the mf'ers in this clusterfook of D-1 hoops.

so you're transferring now too?

Every time I see this thread, I think, "I don't care."

When I see this, I feel about the same. But also hope that we beat the crap out of them when we play them if it is the case.

We've become DePaul, aina?

Nah,  just changing the drill.

It seems like an impossibility at this point, but is there any chance that the Hausers reconsider their decision and return?  Perhaps cooler heads prevail?

It truly appears that this decision was made hastily.

No. It did not end well.

If they end up going to Wisconsin, I would screenshot every single tweet Vadger fans said about them right about now.

If they ended up at UW, that would close the door on UW 2020 recruiting. They're in the mix for quite a few kids.  Not sure that's Gard's m.o., though this is obviously an unique case.

It's why the more I think about it, they end up at a place with a lot of roster flux/flexibility.  I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere and this is pure speculation but I wonder if Otz and UNLV jump in here.  They would be great in his system

Isn't Gard in the same boat as Wojo where he needs to win soon? I think he would take 2 experienced forwards that will start in year 2 over 2 random freshmen.

Unless they collapse completely, as long as they make the tournament on a regular basis, he's not going anywhere as long as Barry is there. 

Again, this is an unique situation.

Wisconsin would have 1 remaining scholarship available to offer class of '20 kids if the Hausers go there.  They'd have Hauser, Hauser, Bowman, Wahl, Potter, Hedstrom, Currie, Davison, Reuvers, King, Ford and Trice.  12 guys.

Per 24/7 sports, these are the other schools that originally offered Joey: Bradley, Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northern Iowa, Northwestern, ND, Purdue, Virginia and Wiscosonin

These schools originally offered Sam: Virginia, Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Iowa State, Northern Iowa, Richmond, Toledo, UWGB

Intriguing... care to elaborate?

[AZMarqfan]

Technically they could both return next year.  Just because they've entered the protocol doesn't mean 100% they will go.  But as free agents, they can shop to see if there's a better situation

Barry never wanted him in the first place...

Start those screenshots y'all.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

If they go there then in 2020-21 they would be playing a senior Sam, Davison, Trice, Reuvers, Ford and Anderson, it would be funny to watch them fall flat in a first round tourney loss

I don't think Joey would want to sit the bench in that lineup. Honestly a lineup of Reuvers, Hauser, Hauser, Davison, and Trice just doesn't seem that good. They would be really soft defensively and slooooow. I did not expect to be pondering this thought this offseason though. Wow.

[MUfan12]

Nooooo it did not.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

It would also 99.9% take them out of the running for Jalen Johnson

Well obviously, Gard is being fired, Tony Bennett going to Wisconsin, and the Hausers are transferring there.
