Homer tweet

[Markusquette]

Exactly.  Homer is in the know just by his position and whom he has access to.  Not to mention, he's been around the program for decades so has a good barometer.  Wojo will coach the 1st year of recruiting class.  My guess would be if they show extraordinary promise, Wojo gets another break.  If the team flops again, adios muchachos.

I agree that seems to be the case. They want to see what promise this class brings along with a new approach without Markus. Wojo will be forced to adjust a lot, hopefully for the better.

I think this is dead on. This may be the first time I've ever agreed with anything you said.

Did you forget you were posting under this account?

Haven't been to an MU game since Wojo became head coach. I've watched less games on TV each year. Only watched the DePaul embarrassment this year. His brand of basketball is boring.... one star hogs the ball, rely on 3 pt shots. I miss the old MU games with tough defense and athletes that can also play basketball. Apathy has set in long ago. The admin can keep Wojo as long as they like - the only way to force a change is to stop paying to see what is a boring product...  Easy!

That's odd.  You were against Wojo before he even coached a game?  Your interest must have started waning way before Wojo.  After Al perhaps?

Homer Knows. 

Homer is a paid performer for the university who doubles as a sports talk show host.

Maybe Homer has heard rumblings from the University. But I'm not convinced that Homer is doing anything more than expressing his opinion -- perhaps learned -- about the coaching situation. I continue to believe that if the university seeks to give Wojo a vote of confidence, there's better ways to communicate it than Homer. Much better.

But c'mon, nobody is that bush league to use Homer as a mouthpiece. Wojo deserves better.

I said this earlier this year, NEXT year is the year we really find out what kind of a Coach Wojo is...maybe the admin has that exact thought as well.

[Silent Verbal]

Wojo deserves better.

I'm not so sure about that, hey?

[curbina]

Homer is correct and he is just being logical.  The admin is not going take that action and eat that money in anything short of a crisis.  Now next year if they see blow out loses at home, no tournament invite and public opinion on the basketball program turns sour it might be enough to create a crisis.

Another year! We been there and done that.

Good God. You have not yet figured out what kind of coach he is after 6 friggin years? Realllly?

[curbina]

Any thoughts on what the current recruiting class might be thinking? Possibly jumping ship?

[Silkk the Shaka]

This is, especially this season, objectively false.

??? Markus has the 7th highest shot% in the 17 year history of the KenPom database

Not saying there's a better option, but I don't know how you could say this year is "objectively false" when it's actually "objectively true"

I can guarantee one thing, they are not paying attention to message boards. Much more likely to be texting with coaches and players to get their information. I know all three are locked in and looking forward to playing for Wojo.

Or instagram, Facebook, Twitter, general public opinion etc.

What makes you think they are locked in at this point in time?

Dang.  I thought I might be only one.  I went to the Georgetown game last year, and haven't been to another game.  Could only watch 4-5 games this year.  Hero Ball is not great basketball

Sometimes I get to speak with people who are involved.

In that case... Anything to share on Mane?

[oldwarrior81]

I'm hoping the recruits show up. 
I'd guess it's pretty rare for a top 100 (without a coaching change), to decommit within three months of showing up on campus.

Of course they're going to show up.  They've signed their NLIs.  It's not exactly a feather in Wojo's cap that the recruits he's signed for next year are still planning to come to Marquette.

A 5 star and two 4 stars in a recruiting class will always be a feather in a coach's cap at Marquette.

I don't disagree, I just don't see why people thought they were going to back out.  I can't think of any instances where a Marquette player signed an NLI and then asked out of it to go to another school before he ever set foot on campus.  That stuff just doesn't happen.

[JWags85]

That's odd.  You were against Wojo before he even coached a game?  Your interest must have started waning way before Wojo.  After Al perhaps?

He ignored countless games against top 15 opponents and games featuring an AA and leading scorer in the country but chose to only watch their worst conference game of the year?  What a joke.

Probably "roots for all Wisconsin teams to succeed"

[Ardmore Mug]

Butt of course if they are reading  Scoop everyday , they would pull out and not come here ! ! !
