5/28 finally official - Sam to UVA, Joey to MSU

The drama can now stop...

Woah.. I did NOT see that coming. Best of luck to them both.

Bear in mind these are sources within Wisconsin. Until I see an announcement that originates with the Hausers, I wouldn't consider it official.

OMG...and some of them believe it.  LOL.

Fair enough.  However, this makes far more sense than either or both going to UW.
It shows both Hausers have enough sense to play for a HOF, National Champion coach, and they care about winning.

Hitching your wagon to Greg Gard and Floppy McNutpuncher never made any sense to me, when there were far better options on the table.

Best of luck to Sam at UVA.  As for Joey, I hope he beats UW a couple time each year, other than that I don't really care.  His bad attitude went a long ways toward MU's collapse down the stretch and cost us a Big East title.  For that I won't look back on his time here as fondly as Sam's.

I mean... its published news from a reputable source.

To save you a click, a poster is suggesting that wealthy MU donors paid the hauser family to choose "anybody but Wisconsin." These wealthy donors felt it better to use their money for this cause (vs spending the money on MU) because the ramifications of the hausers going to Bucky would have basically destroyed our programs reputation for years to come.

Also, I saw on there or 247 that the hold up on "admissions" allowed the hausers time to reconsider their verbal commitment.

That's some Hall of Fame level rationalization right there.

Have to be honest, this softens the blow. A step up for both of them. Still puzzling about why Sam left if they were going to split up anyway, I think it gives more credence to the narrative that he was as important in the decision as Joey and that's more damning for Wojo. For him to forgo pro ball by a year and walk away from what could have been a truly special season which would have cemented his place in the pantheon of MU all-timers means he must really have lost all faith in Wojo and his system. I can't think of any critique that would carry more weight than that.

But best of luck to him. I hope Wojo can rise to the challenge.

They both left because they were both unhappy. The idea that Sam was fine and would return was always fanciful nonsense.

I think this is most likely. I think it seems to make sense when you consider that the first report was that Sam was unhappy then a week later it was Joey who dragged Sam along. Maybe it was both.

So we have boosters to pay players to not go to WI?  Wowser.

B.S. you mean a step down for both of them leaving Marquette for public schools.

I am thinking about playing for UW. Can someone spread the word to these high rollers?

There have been some fanciful stories, some terrible commentary and a lot of misinformation since they announced they were transferring but thinking Marquette boosters paid the family not to go to Wisconsin-Madison is next level insane

Guess they both landed well
Both on elite squads competing for national championships. Meanwhile, MU continues to wallow in limited  if any dance appearances, getting beat by a mid major in the dance. The Hausers saw the action up close and personal, and chose to move on. Meanwhile, many scoopers with their blinders on continue to offer excuses, and criticize them as treasonous turncoats. Sad saga in MU history. Now the page can be turned to the next exciting season under the wonderful wojo. Hopefully he can bring in some guys to replace the loss, although that is one big wish. Now let the soothsayers begin their bashing and excuse making

Scoop has definitely not cornered the market on aholes!

What would you like scoopers to do?  Have a grape soda

Yes...MSU and UVA are pathetic public institutions...that have contributed little to society.

Well, MSU hasn't

The rich MSP Marquette alum is obviously Jay Bee.  WTH was he thinking?  This shines a terrible light on Marquette as a whole, but more specifically makes Marquette a laughingstock in college basketball fandom.

Seriously, socializing with a Badger fan?  What were you thinking?

[Stretchdeltsig]

Can't understand Sam changing schools. It doesn't make sense. He is giving up so much. Will have to sit out a year. Play for a far away school for one year. Was Sam that unhappy to make such a dumb and or desperate move?
