Stan Johnson is new LMU Head Coach

[Silent Verbal]

You almost never hear it for an at best low major recruit, Silent Verbal's comment.

Wally was a bad basketball player, Chico.  I don't know what Minnesota was thinking when they recruited him, but he belonged in the Horizon League.

Minnesota was thinking the same thing we (and everyone else who recruited Wally) was thinking - his baby brother is really good.

I can't believe this is even a discussion 
When you're a first-year coach at a place like Marquette and you're recruiting against the likes of Kentucky and Duke for a kid, you do whatever you can (within the rules, I would hope) to rise to the top.
Wojo took advantage of an opportunity to bring in Wally in order to get Henry.
For this be should be praised.

Any other take on this situation is, frankly, quite dumb.

This, obviously.

He would have been raked over to coals if he hadn't. And as the more rational here have shown, Wally was a legit recruit.

But the same people who would have ripped Wojo to shreds for not doing the deal are ripping for doing it.  He just can't win.

Agreed.  But let's be honest.... Ellenson's minutes would have been reduced on any of those teams given his "skillset".  I feel going to one of those places may have hurt his draft stock a tad.

[The Sultan]

Not sure why you are putting quotes around skillset.  He was very much a skilled college player.

[Galway Eagle]

Agreed.  But let's be honest.... Ellenson's minutes would have been reduced on any of those teams given his "skillset".  I feel going to one of those places may have hurt his draft stock a tad.

He probably would've been reigned in from outside shooting but he still would've been a high impact player, and potentially would've helped his stock because he could've been more efficient in less minutes.

[MU82]

Another wonderful Scoop wormhole. Started with Stan getting a well-deserved head-coaching gig ... so of course now we're rehashing the recruitment and coaching of the Ellensons.

Can't believe I'm the first to point out the obvious:

smoke and mirrors

Is Chico's still denying that he is Warrior's Dad?

[MU82]

Is Chico's still denying that he is Warrior's Dad?

Not saying he is or he isn't. But the stats show that after not posting at all from Feb. 1-28, WarriorDad has posted 101 times since Feb. 29 (and those are just the ones that weren't taken down by mods).

I guess it's just a crazy coincidence that hoopaloop was sent packin' (again) in the same time frame.

[wadesworld]

WarriorsDad is a Cubs fan. Chicos is an Angels fan. Therefore, WarriorsDad is not Chicos. I heard it on the internet.

Case closed.

A clown is a clown. No coincidence.

Debated whether to spend one second on this.  Let this go unanswered and it becomes true, or respond.   

To my knowledge none of my messages were taken down.  Why would they be?

Since Feb 29th you have over 170 messages.  In that period of time with MU in the stretch run of the season, Coronavirus pandemic taking over the country, Markus Howard AA discussion.  NCAA and Big East tournaments canceled, and I have made all of three messages per day here?  Some of you have 15 or more a day. 

The person you and others keep saying I am was still messaging when I returned which means your theory is wrong. This place was so negative and ugly a step away from here was my decision.  My choice.  https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=59845.msg1200996#msg1200996

Thank you for the hit job and smear.  Maybe go back to reading only again.

Chico's you are correct that comparing someone to Chico's is a "hot job and a smear."

That's really classy and says a lot about Stan.  I can't remember any coach doing something like this when moving onto bigger and better things.

Really nice gesture. Class act.

[Elonsmusk]

Really nice gesture. Class act.

Absolutely. Would seem Stan would be a viable candidate to come back to MU should he prove out to be a good coach at LMU over next few years, and if Wojo continues to underwhelm.

Possibly.  I just envision him in the PAC 12 at some point if he does blossom.
