Extra Year for Seniors?

[brewcity77]

There is a movement by some coaches calling for Seniors to be allowed to return for an additional year since they were unable to compete in conference and the NCAA tournaments.

Part of me would love to see another year from Howard, Anim, & Johnson. Part of me feels that watching Howard potentially pass Pete Maravich's scoring record in an unprecedented fifth season would cheapen the accomplishment. It would also create chaos from a scholarship perspective, with Marquette looking at maybe 15+ scholarships.

What say you, Scoop? Would you want another year of Howard and company, though possibly losing Mane in the process? Or do you want to stick to collegiate purism and just let them go without another chance at NCAA glory?

[MU82]

What?

First the coronavirus, and then another year of the cancer? Please!

I'd love to have them back but don't think they should or will be.

[The Lens]

Markus would not come back, he will be paid well soon.  No point even entertaining.   

Sacar & Jayce probably have nice pro careers waiting for them as well, but I would love to see either of them back if they wanted. 

Imagine a 6th year player with 2 good eyes?!?!?   We'd be unstoppable.

Otule had a nice season.

They would need to make changes to number of players on a roster, those with a larger % of seniors on their roster might unfairly need to make cuts or tell recruits No.  I can't see an equitable way to make that happen.

[#UnleashSean]

I'd say yes. Even open the door for declaration and return

[Mr. Nielsen]

Winter sports, no.
Spring sports, yes.

[Billy Hoyle]

Winter sports, no.
Spring sports, yes.

This. They got a full season. Is it only for kids on likely tourney teams? Not happening.

[The Sultan]

Winter sports, no.
Spring sports, yes.

Agreed.

[HutchwasClutch]

I'd like Anim back about as much as Wojo.  Fifth year senior who pulled a major choke down the stretch. 

[HutchwasClutch]

Jayce was a warrior. Limited ability, no doubt, but a guy you can win with. One of MU's better rebounders on both ends in recent memory.

[WhiteTrash]

It really doesn't matter. Still no PG on the roster

[WarriorFan]

All 3 can make money somewhere next year.  Let them go on and do that.  Not many people get a chance to get paid to play a game, even for a few years. 

[Johnny B]

Where can jayce and sacar realistically play and what kinda money ?? Idk i guess some low level euro league for 28k a year

[Nukem2]

Winter sports, no.
Spring sports, yes.

Yes.

[MUDPT]

If they did this and M2N happened, do the Hausers come back then?

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Not gonna happen these guys played 95% of the scheduled games or so, not gonna give another year.  Still think cancelling tournaments was an over reaction.  No fans would have been fine.

Please...just....stop....

[hairy worthen]

No. incredibly stupid idea. Just give them their participation ribbon and send them on their way. Spring sports, I can see that.

[Coleman]

I voted no, but it is not a reflection of "our" seniors. Of course I'd love another year of Markus, Sacar and Jayce.

I just don't see a realistic, equitable way of making that happen across all of college basketball.

[rocket surgeon]

i didn't vote because it's not a simple "yes/no" issue.  why couldn't they entertain resuming everything in may of june?  nothing close to the pandemonium we are presently experiencing occurred back in 2009-2010 during the H1N1/swine flu pandemic.  waiting a couple of months should get this under control, maybe even have a vaccine available.  they could have put all this stuff on hold at least until we could see what the ramifications are going to be.  this virus, nor any other strain are going away.

Maebee Siberia, hey?

[Ardmore Mug]

NO ! ! !   Everybody played the whole season, 30 some games...  No one (team/school) is being "picked on",
Everyone is in the same boat...  Defecation occurs ! ! ! Get on with life.   

[ATL MU Warrior]

no thanks.  ready to move on.

[Markusquette]

no thanks.  ready to move on.

Agree.
