Biggest Bust of Wojo Era
« on: June 09, 2019, 12:57:03 AM »


For my money it’s Joe. Had he put in 15-20 solid PG min this year then 1) Everyone not so gassed at end of year 2) Markus plays more off the ball 3) which maybe means Hausers don’t lose heart and stick around.

Many of the guys that are listed were disappointments because they transferred.   But I would be hard pressed to label Joey or Haanif busts.  Traci maybe.  But Hank?  Not a chance.

Joe?  I don't know.  He certainly didn't live up to expectations but bust is harsh.

Harry Froling was supposed to be a difference maker and lasted one semester.

What is Wojo's ugliest tie?

Which airline does Wojo have the most flier miles with?

What was Wojo's least helpful timeout speech?

How much weight has Wojo put on since becoming the coach at MU?

I said Harry. For me it can't be Joe Chartouny because he was only here for one year. That's an easily acceptable bust, compared to a Traci or Froling that we expected 3-4 years from.

Guys like Haanif, Henry, & Joey weren't busts. They didn't produce here like they could have, but they showed they were worth the scholarships. Traci was okay, but hasn't indicated he was a high major player. He was a bust, but not as much as Harry. Harry was clearly not a high major & was hyped like he was the next Ellenson. Higher expectations lead to being a bigger bust.

I voted Haanif, because he started out good and disappeared. I did not vote Froling, because he was a transfer. Transfers are basically someone who falls into your lap. Wojo worked hard to recruit Haanif and brag at how high Haanif's basketball IQ was.

Yep. Only Joe C and Harry were busts. The others were good players who left to play elsewhere for various reasons.

Four of the six wouldn't remotely be considered a bust for a small time program...like a DePaul or something, you're right. But for a program like MU?? Didn't meet expectations...or maybe more accurately, should have never been recruited to a level like MU.

I had to go with Traci.  What has the team most consistency lacked over the past four years?  Quality PG play.

Carter was not a bust.  He was a stopgap after Noskowiak went off the rails.  Wojo took a chance because there wasn't much available in the spring PG class.  Wojo quickly pivoted to get Rowsey and then Howard.

And another vote for Harry. If I had played CBB, I would have been a smaller version of Harry, totally confused by the speed of the game.

Where in god's name did I say those two were busts for MU?? Good god do people like to read into things i say without actually paying attention..?? Guys like Carter, Cheatham, etc, now that's who I'm referring too..should have never been/busts for a program like MU. Want proof?? What schools did they end up at after leaving MU?? Low Mid majors..nuff said.

Everybody who wasn't/isn't as good as Dwyane Wade = automatic bust. And obviously Wojo himself; worst coach in college hoops history.

Hell, guru and willie haven't seen this many busts since their days as porn stars.
