That said, I don't think Sam is choosing UVA for their vast alumni network, he's choosing UVA because he believes Tony Bennett will get him a professional contract and championship rings.


The ONLY thing that will determine whether Sam gets a pro contract is his athletic ability. Period!! Bennett has nothing to do with that.

Sam has the necessary basketball skills and size to play in the NBA already. But, is he athletic enough? My guess is no.

Sam is a much better player than Bennett was.

perhaps he believes Tony will develop his skills and abilities best and he'll be in a system to better showcase them to help him stand out to scouts.

Savor the Potrykus tears.

Do the official decisions of the Hausers hurt Marquette or Wisconsin more?

Those who insist you can't lose what you never had will say we're the big losers and UW lost nothing.

I think it's much worse for us but they lost big too.

Marquette will be fine next season.  Getting dissed by the Hausers twice could ultimately cost Gard his job unless he starts landing some recruits.

Serious question here.  Were there ever any rumblings of the parents being an issue?  I knew we heard second hand the boys didn't want to play with Tyler Herro but did we legit hear anything about mom and dad sticking their noses into team business?

I ask because mom is being blamed for them not going to Wisconsin-Madison.  It seems laughable to me but who knows.

No, but Badger fans always complain about family members so take it with a grain of salt. It's either Tyler Herro's Dad, Wes Matthews' Mom, Jamil Wilson's Dad, and in Vanders case it was a bunch of people. At this point it's second nature to them.

You think Wesley Mathews has a long NBA career if Crean sticks around? I know he doesn't.

I think Buzz put guys who looked border line (or worse) into the league.

Wes stuck out so much he went undrafted.

Buzz developed Wes some. He did not take Wes from having no chance whatsoever to stick in the NBA to having a decade long plus career. If Buzz can take a guy from no chance at a long NBA career to borderline NBA All Star in the NBA in one year he should be an NBA head coach.

my source finally told me about the silent verbal. While Sam was visiting Madison late at night, he was heard screaming "I'm COMING!" through the walls of his girlfriends apartment. Apparently it's not what the Badgerfans thought.

Come on.  Not funny.

Whatever improvement Wes had in that one year was far more about Dale Layer than about Buzz.

Agree that Wes got what he got totally on his own but does he even get a chance without the break out senior year?

Buycks, JFB and Jae all got much more out of their post college careers than could have been predicted. One constant of Buzz coached guys? Toughness. Tons of talent in the NBA - toughness can be the tiebreaker.

In the JS article from Potrykus today, he doubles down on the two sources (Trevor Anderson and his dad?) who said the Hausers were coming to UW and practically paints Sam and Joey as heels for not doing so.  What a dope.
Which is why he (and Oates, et al) are mocked for their "journalism".  They are incessant homers who feed the ridiculous "silent verbal" crap and then pile on to the kids and their parents when it turns out their expectations were based on nothing more than wet dreams.  They are fan boys first, not journalists.

Then you have the Eric the Red clown who is simply a bitter, angry old man that spews the same dopey narratives for the delusional rodent message board masses.  He's sort of like their version of Sand Knit, though I'll admit that Eric can actually spell.

Yeah, Eric the Red is a real piece of work.  I was reading their board after they lost to Purdue earlier this year and he called Haarms "the biggest c*** in college basketball" and wasn't even chastised by other posters, much less given a break by the mods.  Totally classless.  Well, he can strap this Hauser news to his sore ass.

Relatively annoying that both of them use cookie cutter responses rather than actually writing something for themselves. I am picturing Sam writing something out and joey just looking over his shoulder to write the same thing

What are the chances that it's the schools who add as a condition of their release (or whatever) that their PR dept. gets to write the "official" announcement?

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

He is the same tool that was GUARANTEEING Joey was going to commit to UW the first time...His "my 10 things" after every game are a "can't miss" whine fest about the officiating, or someone from the other team. ESPECIALLY after they play MU every year. For some reason he has somewhat of a "cult" following on the UW boards. They think he's an insider...but he has no good, reliable sources. Yet, he makes them believe he does. There isn't a more arrogant, pompous SOB on any message board, anywhere..and that's being honest. I have no idea how his wife and kids love him.

I question how much of a source Trev is.  I know they are close, but he also retweeted the transfer from MU with the "eyes" emoji as if he was surprised by it.  You would think he would have known before then.

Living in Madison, most people don't really care about basketball, just a distraction between football seasons.  Most of these "sources" were probably old dudes from the Mendota Gridiron Club (RIP), who only thought they were coming because they were white and from Wisconsin.  And then it got passed around as the truth.

You know nothing of the kind.  You can't prove that, it is mere speculation on your part.  Didn't Crean help put a 3 star 150th ranked Oladipo in the league?  We can play this game all day if you wish, but you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.  The fact that Travis Diener was in the pros is enough to boggle the minds of most considering what he was as a high school recruit at that size.
