It saddens me to see Chartouny's name on so many of these lists. Personally I never had big expectations for him based on everything I read at the time of his transfer, and to their credit, I don't recall the MU Athletics Press Staff making THAT big of a deal about it either. At least that was my interpretation. Of course they had to issue a release with the usual obligatory quotes from the head coach about what a fine young man he is, his impressive stats and distinguished career at another Jesuit D1 institution, but admittedly in a much less competitive conference, and how much his experience will help our younger players blah blah blah.
From my vantage point, Joe was an experienced and intelligent back up player who performed his duties as well as expected. As with everyone, he had some really solid games and a few duds. If nothing else, he proved that he could hold his own on the court and that there was a meaningful, if not impactful, role for him to play on a high major D1 roster. If one were to ask him, was transferring to a high major D1 program for that PG year worth it, there's no doubt he would say yes absolutely!
