Bailey declares for draft

[muguru]

This is one thing I have never been able to understand, why the mods so loosely moderate stuff here and allow all the harsh criticism of players. It's not a good look for one thing, for another, recruits DO read message bards, or if they don't, relatives or their friends or someone does. To think it can't have an affect is wrong.

[Newsdreams]

No, Karim Mane making his decision based off a teams message board is not a fact.

Do work for MSU if you want. I'm talking facts no speculation. But you be you.

3+5=8. That is a fact.

20 year old kid is looking at message boards to form his college choice, is not a fact.

Again, by this logic you should stop wasting time sounding like a complete moron here and instead be on the MSU board say Henry is human garbage.

I spend so little time on here that I had to check the date this thread was started. I truthfully thought maybe I missed this thread on April 1st. If nothing else, this provided a nice chuckle in my home office.

[The Sultan]

...better idea. Set the bar high. Expect greatness, or step aside mon ami. DePaul will take you.

Dude.  Fans on message boards "setting the bar high" doesn't impact actual performance.  Have you not realized that?

IOW, just because you say the three freshmen are better than BB, that doesn't actually make that happen.

[Warrior of Law]

BB was easily the most frustrating player to watch this year. Largely due to the fact that, occasionally, he can be really good.  I highly doubt that a 23 year old, with access to a coaching staff like MU's, needs to have NBA scouts critique his game. If he believes he needs big numbers to be drafted, he should look to a mid-major out West.  In my view, he's a lot like Sandy Cohen.

How dare you underestimate the power of Scoop and News: Garcia dreams MU.

Karim wants to go to a school that is Pollyanna, where its dispassionate fans are spirited in their support of mediocrity and end of season meltdowns.  Who cares if that same fanbase is Top 15 in attendance, despite being a school with an enrollment of just 10k, and not having an NCAA win in 7 years.

You seem to buy into what the meat eaters have to say, and we've been told stone cold lock Mane has eliminated MU from consideration. No chance he comes, ship has sailed.

Why does Mane continue to list MU and do virtual visits? Just bored and wants to see pictures of what the Fiserv would look like (even though he's been in it), what an empty campus and Milwaukee looks like? Getting payback on Wojo for all the mind games he plays with the "non chosen ones" on the team?

Seems weird.

Wojo must be upping his offer$.  You know, just like the other schools do when we lose a recruit. 

Would be an excellent score, should we land Mane.  Getting Carton was big.  Mane would be huge.  But..I am in the camp of the meat eaters, and don't think he's coming to MU.  MSU will be the choice.

You think Wojo/MU are paying players?

At least one member of the meaters still believes Mane is coming

If you are implying that MU is offering to pay Mane for his services, you are incorrect.

Facts have no place at scoop

No.  I don't think that MU is offering to pay Mane.  I just laugh when ProJos use this excuse when we lose out on a recruit to programs who have had a lot more success than us in the past 7 years.

Choosing MU and Wojo over MSU and Izzo?  Thats a tough sell.

Can you try to be less of a broken record and attempt to use your posts to add value?

I believe I have said that about losing kids to Arizona and Kansas. I wonder why I might say that. They don't have coaches on federal wires talking about the players they've paid or anything...

Yeah, you sound like a really reasonable person. Keep talking garbage. When information is a known straight from the source that is a fact. I'll just let this stupid thread be. Go ahead do the damage.

[Eldon]

I wonder to what extent Joey is in his ear about the inner workings of Wojo, MU, etc.

[Eldon]

And this, in turn, gave me a chuckle.

All your other attacks continue to flail, and so now you resort to libeling our coach?  What the hell is wrong with you?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Getting Carton was big huge.  Mane would be huge big.

[94Warrior]

Getting Carton was huge, getting Mane would also be huge, losing Bailey would be equally huge.

how so? To date, what has BB done that would equate to huge loss?

Second leading returning scorer after inefficient Koby, highest offensive efficiency, leading returning rebounder, most made threes, and arguably our best returning defender.

Losing your best returning player is rarely a good thing.

Unless....you can replace him with a better player

[wadesworld]

But when you have 2 open scholarships you don't need to replace him, you can just add the better player and keep the returning player.
