Where will the Hausers land?

[GoldenWarrior11]

Nooooo it did not.

Please share.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

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.

I had been thinking about this.   Who in that lineup can create a shot?

How would guys like Kobe King, Micah Potter,  and Tyler Wahl feel about the Hausers stepping into their minutes?

Could set off more dominoes.

Obviously they're moving and going for a reason. Something isn't quite right for them where they're at. I guess to characterize it as unhappiness, I didn't feel that. It's a hard thing to describe. It's a tough dynamic because I know they've said — and I talked to both of them the last couple of days — and they're very upbeat and positive about their future and they've also been very positive about what they've done and what they accomplished at Marquette in the past. It hasn't been a, 'Boy, they've been so unhappy' kind of thing. ... They're interested in exploring if they can find a place that is just a little better fit for them in the future, and that's what they're pursuing.

If that's true, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

If they want to play at the next level, then it's Virginia or Michigan State.  If development is a key to their future, that makes far more sense than Wisconsin.

Nonsense. Playing at UVA or MSU has zero to do with the next level. NBA scouts know what Sam is already. They look for skillsets - not numbers. Whether Sam gets drafted or not (and I don't think he will), will depend on his performances at the combine and in pre-draft team workouts.

For context, look at the Bucks. Middleton is an all-star. He averaged 11.3/4.6 at Texas A&M. Now he is an all-star. Sterling Brown averaged 8.2/4.8 at SMU. Now he's starting for the NBA's best team. Eric Bledsoe averaged 11.3/3.1 at Kentucky. Brook Lopez had averages that mirror Sam's output last year at Stanford.

1) School doesn't matter
2) Numbers don't matter
3) Skillset matters
4) Athleticism matters

Could the Hauser brothers land at Wisconsin? Here is a look at how they fit with UW, Virginia and Michigan State

Disagree that school/level of competition and numbers don't matter at all.

I agree with this analysis.

Sir

We are going to struggle next season on game predictions. We had a lot of Hauser love between us this season.

Indeed.

If true I will be there to boo them in December 2020.

Solid source within MU. But not the Hausers directly. I've never been any closer to them than watching them on the court, so take it for what it is worth.

[Da 'Lanche]

Honestly...I'm fine with them going to the Badgers for a couple of reasons.   They eat up two scholarships for players that will not see the court next year.    Who knows what transpires following that?   Assuming both of them play the following year, they spent two years of scholarship on only one year for Sam...and they spent 3 years of scholarship on maximum 2 years for Joey.     That is a lot of scholarship capital that could go elsewhere.

Secondly, I love rivalries....This just adds more spice to the gumbo.   And, let's just dream of a scenario in which MU beats them again next year in Madison (with two prime players sitting out and on the bench) and then somehow our program is beefed up again in 2020 and we beat them in Milwaukee with the full complement of Hausers....how sweet sweet sweet would that be?    Hey Bucky, glad you got our leftovers...hope you enjoyed them.    Now, of course, I don't see the Hausers as leftovers as I know they are very good hoops players and will fit Bucky's system well.   But, the rhetoric would be fun.   On the downside, if they cream us....and in the bigger picture this sets our program back into first gear, then this would really suck.

Finally, if they land them...they are probably assured that Gard stays on...and unless this gift in his lap revs up his ability to recruit top talent (which it might...big statement), I am hoping he stays there a looooong time as I just don't see him taking that program to another level.   Losing Happ this year and looking at their roster next...would be a concern if I were a Badger fan.

If school and numbers don't matter, then it doesn't matter where either go because neither is being discussed as realistically playing at the next level given their current skill set and athleticism (I think they're far more athletic than some people here think they are).

I think with the right coach, they can get better and improve "draft" status.  I don't know if that factors in their decision making.  If it does, I don't see how Madison is the place to get to the next level.

The first portion I agree with.  The rest, could not disagree more.

Getting beat out on the recruiting trail is one thing, having a star and a potential star leave your program, after spending time in it, to go to your in state rival does nothing but make you look bad.  This isn't Jamal Cain leaving cause he couldn't find playing time.  There is no fun rhetoric to me and the negative recruiting implications are substantial, as are the PR ones.  Marquette fights to compete for press and attention with UW on the best of days, and now, on the cusp of their best potential season in 15 years, they lose 2 key players to UW who is headed for a significantly down year?  Local writers are working themselves into a lather over the Little Brother narrative.

Ive placed most of the blame for this on Wojo, and hold minimal ill will towards the Hausers.  But if they head to Wisconsin, I've lost all respect for them and view anything positive they say about the program as BS.

Per ESPN:

Ranking of Sit Out Transfers--
1. Sam Hauser
3. Joey Hauser

[OnWisconsin]

Honestly a lineup of Reuvers, Hauser, Hauser, Davison, and Trice just doesn't seem that good.

Seems like 30 wins and one of the best long-range shooting teams in the country.

[WarriorDad]

If they go to Wisconsin they come to FF in two years to lose to the Warriors. 

I wish them well, but not against us.  Would love to see us beat them.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Seems like 30 wins and one of the best long-range shooting teams in the country.

Seems like 2 good players and a bunch of scrubs

[Billy Hoyle]

I don't think either will be playing for the Bucks anytime soon, let alone in 2 years.

[muguru]

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

They weren't getting Jalen regardless.
