Athletic: Joey Hauser Talks About Leaving Marquette

[Earl Tatum]

WHO CARES!! Joey messed up and we paid for it. Don't even think MSU
will work for him. Izzo recruits top grade. Might be off bench player.
AT MU, he would probably start and have a year of experience. Makes
him a better player.

[MomofMUltiples]

Agree with Titan, we would have been better off if Joey would've gone to MSU in the first place.  maybe not 18-19, but 19-20 for sure - keeping Sam would've made the coming season's team better.

With respect to the "secret verbal" to Wisconsin, what they may have said to Gard is what Joey said in the article - if they wanted to play together, the decision would be Wisconsin.  Easy for something like that to get twisted up into a secret commit.

And of course, the story we REALLY wanted to know was skipped over in the article "Here, there will be no talk of why the Hausers moved on. Neither is interested in rehashing the decision..."

Don't you have to hash the decision before you rehash it?

So two brothers, who have played together their entire lives, have a close bond and a seemingly awesome family decided they were better off being 400 and 1,000 miles from home and playing apart for the first time ever then going to Wisconsin 115 miles from home.

Hate to see that.

Its all about Joey's NBA future.  The close bond is why it took so long for Joey to decide on MSU and move on from Sam, which is what he should have done in the first place.

[Marcus92]

Sam and Joey chose top 10 programs and will have every chance to succeed when they next take the court. Best of luck. Hopefully this is a learning opportunity for both of them -- Joey in particular. He's got every right to transfer. But his comments seem to suggest that committing to Marquette and leaving high school early weren't his decisions. Taking responsibility is part of growing up. If you don't like the choices you've made, you need to think harder about how you make them.

My connections in the athletic department at MSU are saying that Coach Izzo is tinkering with the notion of having Joey be a super sized shooting guard. They say he will need to improve his lateral  to guard the 2. Kind of ironic, as Mr. Dodds frequently said Joey could be a 2.

To the people crapting on Joey and Sam:

Why? Two very very very good teams thought they would be great pieces. It's a shame to lose them, but lets not go Wisco on them.

If Joey guards the 2 consistently he will so regularly get his $hit handed to him he might as well change his name to Metamucil.

Actually he said Joey could play all 5 positions.

I think I've only seen one person "crapting" on Joey in this thread and no one crapping on Sam. I guess call out the one person if you want but the comparison to Wisco seems unnecessary in this thread.

that's a very good article

At the same time.

Why because they are pieces of shyte that left a preseason #2 ranked team in the country. F them

[Jay Bee]

I thought the article said very little.

Anyway, Joey does not meet the criteria for a 5-Year Rule waiver, which is what would be needed. Doesn’t mean he won’t get it, especially because it’s years away and the NCAA ignores its bylaws quite frequently. However, his circumstances clearly are not in line with a 5 Year Rule waiver.

LoL. 

[hdog1017]

I was hoping he would have said something controversial. 

[panda]

At the same time.

What did the blender say?

[Avenue Commons]

Good luck to Joey. He's 19, a teenager. Has his whole life ahead of him. Hopefully this all works out for him.

[DegenerateDish]

I think it would have been better for Marquette had Joey just chosen MSU and never came to Marquette.  We might still have Sam.

I have to give credit where it's due, this is one of the better points I've seen on this board in a long time. I think this is spot on.

[Uncle Rico]

Surprised there was no mention of the two silent verbals he gave Greg Gard

The first rule of silent verbals is you don’t talk about silent verbals.

Oh hell no...you don't get to do this sandknit..you have been on this board on numerous occasions claiming how they were never going to be able to live up to that ranking in the first place. You can't use that to your advantage now to bash the Hauser's.
