Kolek planning to go pro
Yes, if he didn't get Wade, Crean wouldn't have done very well.And if Buzz didn't stumble on Butler and didn't convince Marquette to let in Crowder, Buzz wouldn't have done very well.But Crean DID get Wade (and Diener and Novak and Wes/Jarel/Dom) and DID produce our only post-Al Final Four team. And Buzz DID get Butler and Crowder (and Vander and DJO and Davante) and DID produce our best post-Al multiple-season postseason stretch.Marquette would be ecstatic if Consuegra produces Crean-like results for the women's program: recruit the best player ever, reach the Final Four, bring in numerous other outstanding recruits, generally upgrade the program in all areas. But then again, for me and some other Scoopers, it's not always a Crean-vs-Buzz war.
Crean-vs-Buzz? Did I even mention Buzz? How does pointing out Crean’s overall conference record as A DI coach in comparison to Consuegra’s have anything to do with Buzz? But by all means let me be the second person to congratulate you for not making this a Crean-vs-Buzz war.
Dazia Lawrence is entering the transfer portal today.
Presumably to follow Consuegra. How much eligibility remains?
Not really. Marquette spent two decades longing for the past and failing to upgrade its facilities and bemoaning what once was (Then again, it’s still plagued by that in some regards). Mike Deane told people to be happy with a tourney appearance here and there. New facilities and an upgrade to the Big East happened under his watch.That’s okay the Marquette geriatrics don’t like him. He dared the program to think big and move forward instead of longing for 1977. Could have left after 2003 and taken any job he wanted.Was he a great coach? No, I won’t argue that but dismissing his contributions to Marquette is sour grapes and if the new women’s coach can match his achievements, the program will be in great shape and fun to follow
