Can the hausers change their mind?
« on: April 21, 2019, 10:36:17 PM »


Is it possible to have a moment to reflect that this transfer thing can be rethought and worked on by all parties? It might be the best option for all concerned!

This thought has been crossing my mind this weekend. I would say it’s a possibility, but I fear that Wojo may have been too much of a baby about it and completely burned the bridge.

A reversal of their decision would create other issues. I think we’d lose Anim and bailey as those two would be expecting to start next year and play major minutes.

Can Scholl or Lovell bring the parties together?

It makes sense for them to figure it out!

Sure. It's possible.

And so is Wojo developing leadership skills.

You fear correctly.

At this point, I wouldn't want them back. They would be clear starters next season, but a return could come at the cost of team chemistry and other players.

Their decision sucks for MU (and possibly them, if they really wanted UVa or MSU), but it's time for both sides to move on....

Juan Anderson came back after he announced his transfer.  Buzz convinced him it was the best thing for him.  That transfer, however, was not surrounded by as much melodrama and innuendo as this one.  Yes, they could come back.  Doubt they will.

Jake Thomas also announced a transfer but returned.  But that was a very different situation as well.

Not sure where to ask this ...

Why don't they test the NBA waters?  Why not even try (especially for Sam)?

is it allowed by rule? yes. will they? no. if they did would the team and coaches have them? i highly doubt anybody associated with the program want them back at this point.

didnt mo acker get kicked off the team (thus looking to transfer) for hitting the bong too hard until buzzard realized he needed him back?

I think the larger predicament the program faces is that, regardless of the unlikelihood of a hypothetical Hausers-return is, there will be multiple players leaving the team - which is a far greater concern over whether or not Sam and Joey return.  Whether it is Sam and Joey, or Sacar and Brendan, the team is losing valuable skill and experience for next year, which is a disappointing and frustrating reaction after this past season.  You can use any comparative program/team you can dig up, but successful programs do not encounter an exodus of players after a top-10 year and projected top-10 season following.  Unfortunately, it is what it is right now.  We can only hope the future is better.

Because the deadline was yesterday, I believe. Even if it wasn't, early entrants had to request an eval by April 11 to be eligible to return. So they would've had to make that request before Markus announced he was back.

Still, regardless of Sam's thoughts on Markus and Wojo and Marquette, I agree with Smuggles that it wouldn't have hurt Sam one iota, and likely would have helped him, to have gone through the process.

Having said that, Sam is yesterday's news. He's the enemy now. Moving on.

I think the larger predicament the program faces is that, regardless of the unlikelihood of a hypothetical Hausers-return is, there will be multiple players leaving the team

Several of those who claim to be in the know have commented in the last few days that this threat apparently has passed and that the Hausers will be the only ones to leave. Here's hoping they're right.

I might be "one of those who claim to be in the know", and because of MU 82 outing me, I no longer stand by the threat has passed stance. I hope that your belief of more departures does not materialize.

And let's be honest, even if the threat has passed, they are still college kids. Someone might change their mind. Excrement happens.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Last year Auburn went 26-8 and won the SEC and then their best player/leading scorer/3rd leading rebounder, a sophomore, transferred out...and then Auburn went to the Final Four without him.

You left.  We moved on.
