Brendan Bailey

[silverback]

Apologies if this is already well discussed, but I searched the topics and didn't spot what I wanted to know.

Any idea where Bailey ended up out there?

Thank you.

[rocky_warrior]

Maybe you'll get a better answer...but...

Signed with Arete Sports which tries to place players professionally (US or international).  I'm guessing that market has been especially hit hard due to covid.

And I'm guessing that Brendan Baileys are a dime-a-dozen on the market.

But if Dwight Burke can have a 10-year professional career in Europe, one would think Bailey eventually will find a taker.

Without knowing the Hausers would leave, he appeared to be joining a truly elite team.  I wonder if his calculus the whole time was play for two seasons on a Top 10 team and parlay some deep March runs into professional opportunities.    I wonder if he ever planned on sticking past his 4th year out of HS.

Anyone know what happen to Mane. I pretty sure he was not drafted. He should of went tp college.

Mane recently signed a two-way with Orlando.

I think its pretty obvious that a lot of kids no longer see college as a place for development.  They look to the G League and overseas for that.  A 2nd round grade used to mean come back and get better, now it means "well someone will pay me for playing".

Yup. I see so many people on scoop talk about how if your not getting drafted in the top 12 then college is your best bet. That's a complete false narrative.

Going to Europe or the g league is the best bet for development.

[oldwarrior81]

Has the G League even committed to having a season this year?

I think those 2-way contracts may turn into spending the entire season with the NBA franchise.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

The G-League is talking about a January bubble.

Not basketball related but he posted that he and his girlfriend are now expecting a baby.

Clearly wasn't listening to his words as he was converting people to one of the most anti premarital sex religions

That's not really fair.  He's a young man, that went on a mission like his church expected on him - he's not a priest.  Most religions have very hard line stances on thing (ahem, Catholicism...).  I work with a lot of Mormon's and of the folks know that attend church regularly, I find them
1) To be among the most accepting of those outside of their religion
2) To be far more worldly because of their missions, and stories shared by others from missions. 

So maybe check your high-horse and accept him as he is.

Your experiences with those within that Church are vastly different than mine then as those I have interacted with at various medical camps I worked at when I was younger, were not as you describe (though who is accepting in High school/early college) For me religious hypocrisy is one of the things I disdain most and when I see it in hardliners I get very worked up. You're right it's unfair for me to assume he's a hardliner just because he went on the mission, I just assumed he was because I figured if he wasn't he would have applied for the talent exemption in the church (Jabari Parker for example) 

I do think I'm taking the low horse on this not the "high horse". Wouldn't the high horse be me faulting him for have sex before marriage? I was faulting him for (with lack of evidence) claiming to be on the high horse when he was just like every other "sinner" aka opposite of the high horse.

i was always surprised a Mormon would consider a Catholic school. Review even the basics of Mormonism and you’ll understand. Then again, SJ Society of Jesus seems to mean little at MU these days. But I digress (not seeking controversy here). I hope the young man signs-on to a solid opportunity and develops into a good pro and a long career.

[Johnny B]

Don't know if id call it hypocrisy. Kid was just raised Mormon(LDS). Sorta follows it sometimes, sorta doesnt sometimes."yeah im Mormon". "yeah im Christian, but i kinda just do whatever". This includes sex,drugs, skipping church whatever. This is like 90% of religious students i saw recently in my college years. Religious groups may as well move on to other issues.

Next thing you know, Catholics will be eating hamburgers on Fridays during Lent and getting divorced.

Whether Brendan is living out his religion as he properly should is between Brendan and God.

Good luck to the soon to be parents.

Only 57% of the students at Marquette identify as Catholic.  And it's not just "these days."  Marquette throughout its history has people from all faith backgrounds attend.

his age was an issue too, being two years older than others in his class. And, with his dad's NBA history and connections he'll be scooped up and have a nice overseas career.

As a non-Catholic (grandson of a Protestant pastor too) I did feel intimidated when I first got to MU as to how I'd fit in in terms of faith. There was an orientation session "being a non-Catholic at a Catholic school," and my dad and I were joined by only one other girl and her dad. I wondered what I'd gotten into. After a few weeks, I realized it wasn't an issue and was participating in hall masses at the AMU. The real intimidation was coming from a small, rural public school when so many of my classmates were from high-level private schools.

Eh...whole lot of people living out their religion and using it to hurt others in the name of God.  But I agree that there's no need to judge.  I

This is what I should have posted. I apologize to those I offended here.

I have had a number of Mormon acquaintances, and to a person they have been among the nicest, kindest, nonjudgmental people I know.

Also I think non-devout Mormons have Jim McMahon to thank for blazing the trail for them.

Same here. We have neighbors who are higher ups in the local congregation, so they frequently have guests. Both our neighbors and their guests have always been wonderful, never pushy or preachy. Salt of the earth kind of folks.

Congrats to Brendan and his girlfriend, and best of luck wherever his career takes them.

And Jim McMahon is the opposite of nice and kind. A complete and utter tool.

I have worked with several over the years. Exact same experience. Honest as well. Strange religion, seems to turn out genuinely good people. More religions should strive for that.

I was his oldest son’s baseball coach one year. Wonderful kid and Jim actually helped with the team (great batting practice pitcher who threw strike after strike). He valued his privacy and didn’t like strangers hounding him for autographs. He could be short with people in those situations, but he was always genuine and friendly in my dealings with him.

He was also funny as hell in the “30 for 30” about the ‘85 Bears.  “Jim, did you call the women of New Orleans sluts?”

My experience with him comes from when he played for the Bears, and not as a stranger hounding him for autographs.
