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.

Agreed. I don't know where the idea of Garcia, Oso, or Lewis not showing up is coming from. That only happens if Wojo is not at MU next year.

How many of these guys did he promise they could do whatever they want out there?

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

I don't think a bunch of gifted athletes care what old white guys think on the internet

My man PRN is on point.

When everyone has a green light, the only thing that's for certain is that there will eventually be a car wreck.

Everyone on the Bucks has a green light. They must've missed that guarantee.

For someone who cries about Wojo's leash causing mind games, I would've thought you'd be fully against red lights.

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

Kind of like that sophomore class Wojo inherited from Buzz to comprise the "empty cupboard."

Buzz left Wojo a 5 star?  That's news to me.

But you're right.  Buzz left the cupboard so full that he left him 2 of the top 6 players in minutes per game from a team that went 17-15 the year before.  Only an incompetent coach could mess that up!

??? 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"

He also leads the team in assist rate and it would be higher if the guys around him were making the shots he creates for them. With this group, he might not be shooting enough.

[Shooter McGavin]

Yes.  The talent around Markus is not up to par.  If he had upper level Big East talent around him the critics would not only be silent they would have already put up a banner for him.

We had upper level BE talent last year and they walked.

Still having the bare cupboard debate is embarrassing at this point for Projos.

LeBron James was on the Miami Heat when Wojo was hired. I would've expected the kitchen to be remodeled by now.

There is one poster who brings up the lack of a bare cupboard.  It isn't a projo.  And I agree, it's embarrassing.

We did lose one last year in Sam.  Joey had hit a wall for the better part of a month and a half and was complicit with the collapse.  Sam and Joey would have made this team better this year.  No doubt about that.  Joey will be really good and Sam is already polished. Would have loved to see both stay and finish what they started.   But they bailed. 

[muguru]

Meanwhile, Buzz has been named SEC coach of the year. Just had to go and mess with his happy. Can only imagine where the program would be right now if he were still here. Pisses me off

Would not be surprised to see Va. Make a deep run next year led by Sam. Wojo flubbed it good with Sam.

If you think Buzz was a lifer here, you are fooling yourself. That being said, he is a better Coach than Wojo.

I think it's a leap to think Buzz is still here even if everything is rosy. I don't think anyone at VT messed with his happy.

He strikes me as the type of guy that can talk him into needing to move every so often. He may have left for the Texas job the next year.

The bolded line is an infantile way of looking at the issue.

Yeah.  If nobody else was messing with Buzz's happy, Buzz was going to mess with his own happy.  There's only so many times you can tell the story of cutting your teeth by eating McDonald's on the overnight bus drive rather than the private jet, or the butcher, baker, and candlestick maker.  He was never going to be content in one spot for his whole career.  TAMU wont' be his last stop.

[NickelDimer]

Losing Buzz, whatever the reason (and it's layered) set the program back. Replacing him with Wojo set us back further.

This right here...this is Bingo to the nth degree. Well said Nickel

FIFY.

Hard to question the motives of kids who end up at UVA and MSU.  Two of the most selfless programs in the country.  Your argument holds water if they run to Iowa State or Nebraska or even Bucky but look where they ended up.

I didn't start messing with my happy until my early teen years.
