Jayce Johnson to Marquette

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Let's see Georgetown's guards try to get to the rim now if Jayce and Theo are in the game together defending the paint.

And sam and joey not providing help defense you should add.  Mu will be noatbly better on defense

[mileskishnish72]

Welcome, Jayce. I hope he's more productive than the Aussie.

[franklinjerry]

I have seen nothing from Ed to suggest he's anything but an under the basket center, but I'm not going to complain about more depth at the 5

Couldn't agree more that offensively Ed cannot play more than 24 inches from the basket. He is NOT a 4. This signing gets us back to 15 fouls at the 5 as Ed and Theo are capable of both fouling out in the first half. Should also send the message that unfortunately Ike will never play for MU.

This is nothing more than Harry Frolling part 2.  Well done Wojo. 

[damuts222]

This is nothing more than Harry Frolling part 2.  Well done Wojo. 

He hasn't played a game at MU. What makes you compare him to Froling or are you just rooting against Wojo?

[LAZER]

This is nothing more than Harry Frolling part 2.  Well done Wojo.

Why do you say that?

[jonny09]

Look at the numbers.  7.1 ppg in a bad conference at 7'0 feet tall.  This is a large man and not an overly skilled get.

[jonny09]

Also, I watched him a dozen or so times last year.  He's tall. 

[The Sultan]

Why do you say that?

He's a tall, white guy?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Other than being tall and white Froling and Johnson are very different players

[jonny09]

Other than being tall and white Froling and Johnson are very different players

Yes, as is every player.  I'm simply saying he's not all that good. 

[muguru]

Look at the numbers.  7.1 ppg in a bad conference at 7'0 feet tall.  This is a large man and not an overly skilled get.

He's actually good enough to start for MU...if you take his numbers and extrapolate them over 40 mins, he AVERAGES 13PPG and 14 rebounds. He's 5x the player Froling is...This is a good get.

Morrow and Chartouney.   Chartouney was an absolute travesty.  Morrow was not good last year.  Under Wojo MU has become the land where transfers go to die. 

[MU82]

Morrow was not good last year.

Reveals how very little you know about basketball.

[TallTitan34]

You might need to purchase a TV.

[LAZER]

Look at the numbers.  7.1 ppg in a bad conference at 7'0 feet tall.  This is a large man and not an overly skilled get.

But Froling averaged 3.3ppg/3rpg/.2bpg between SMU and MU?

[jonny09]

Yes, I need to purchase a TV and know nothing about basketball.  Averaged 15 minutes per game, 5.6 points, and 4.5 rebounds.  Sat out an entire year previous to this where he averaged 23.4 minutes per game, 9.4 points, and 7.5 rebounds.  Oh, in a much more tough and physical big ten.  Tell me those were the numbers you were hoping for. 

[jonny09]

Furthermore, you being ok with that type of production from Morrow is the same reason why you are fine with 5 years and 0 tourney wins. 

[TheTulsaWarrior]

The timing and maturity were off for Harry Froling at both SMU and MU. Ed Morrow didn't fully recover from groin surgery until late in the season.  Morrow will open some eyes in the coming season.  I think it would have done Joseph Chartouny a world of good to have spent the past summer on campus rather than with the Lebanese National team. Katin Reinhardt, Andrew Rowsey and Matt Carlino were pretty solid transfer additions.

[jonny09]

Agreed on Andrew, Katin, and Carlino

[Marcus92]

Welcome, Jayce!!! Another big body, strong rebounder on both ends, good shot blocker, efficient scorer (59.7% shooting) and doesn't turn the ball over. At the very least, he'll provided much-needed depth in the front court. Should give Wojo a lot of lineup flexibility.

[MU82]

Yes, I need to purchase a TV and know nothing about basketball.  Averaged 15 minutes per game, 5.6 points, and 4.5 rebounds.  Sat out an entire year previous to this where he averaged 23.4 minutes per game, 9.4 points, and 7.5 rebounds.  Oh, in a much more tough and physical big ten.  Tell me those were the numbers you were hoping for.

Morrow had a role. He played it well most of the season. That's what unselfish role players do, and every good team needs players like that.

His last season at Nebraska, 2016-17, the Huskers did not have the conference player of the year and a second-team all-conference player. He did not have to share a position with the conference's leading shot-blocker. He played for a 12th-place team, not a team that contended for a league title. He played for a team that won exactly half as many games overall as we did last season, and he had a larger role for that obviously talent-strapped team.

If you do not think Morrow was a valuable piece for us last year, a guy who played a pretty big role in a few huge wins -- especially F%cky, but also Nova, Providence and others -- than no, you do not know much about basketball.

He just wasn't that good.  That's it.  Role to play or not.  The eye test says it all. 

[jesmu84]

Agreed on Andrew, Katin, and Carlino

So much for "where transfers go to die"

[MU82]

OK, you're allowed to have an opinion ... no matter how wrong it may be.

Your "where transfers go to die" line also showed how little you know. So little that you had to backtrack on it just a few comments later.
