While I do not expect Garcia to return, I read his comment about possibly returning as leaving the door open, even if just a crack. To me, it does not matter at all that it was the last item mentioned. This is the same board that had a solid majority absolutely certain that Wojo would not be fired.

Once you've opened the door to transferring a crack, it's awfully hard to close it.

There have been circumstances, but this is often just saving face

Garcia may have more of a concern who his PG will be.

I believe that you misread my post. Leaving the opening the "door open just a crack" referred to the possibility of Garcia's return to Marquette.

Anyone have stats to show how often a player returns to his team after entering the portal? My guess is only a few. It's not a sure thing that he's leaving Marquette, but its very probably so. Its still possible he will return. We should know soon.

Morsell?

Maybe that's why he left open the possibility of a return.

Hey, why not?

I was one of them. I thought MU’s financial woes would prevent it from happening.someone stepped up financially, and I’m appreciative of them.

Sultan (and maybe others) insisted it was a fact, not an opinion, that Wojo was coming back.

Poll on this very board in February- 246 votes cast- 78% he would be back. I was in the 22% 😁

I think things changed dramatically and quickly.  I thought he’d be back as well and was pleasantly surprised they made the move.  I definitely thought it was around 99% he’d be back because of financial reasons but I think it was Doc who said to rip off the band-aid now and that made sense to me after thinking about it.  They were probably going to pay at the box office next year if he was a lame duck coach come Big East schedule time in 2022.

Was very happy to be wrong about us being stuck with Wojo in 2021-22.

Let's remember that the same guy who was demanding apologies from Scoopers after Wojo did get canned also had insisted that Lewis would be gone. I guess he owes the rest of us apologies for that one.

I'm confident Lewis will still leave. By the 2025-26 season, he'll be gone, mark my words!

I, too, thought he'd be gone against popular belief. While COVID hurt all schools and businesses financially, keeping a failing head coach had the potential to cripple the basketball program for years to come.

It was no secret the fan and alumni base were done with Wojo.  With fans allowed to return fully this season, there was legitimate danger in ticket sales tanking. Couple that with the on-going (now known) uncertainty of both Dawson and DJ, and it really became a no brainer.

I'm glad the right decision was made, despite the hesitations many had for obvious reasons on this board.  And I still wish Wojo the best in his future pursuits.

What do you expect from JLew in 21-22?  Could he be a 14  and 10 guy with solid shooting percentages?

Well most thought it wouldn't happen because there was going to be backlash if money was spent for a buyout while employees were being laid off. A big donor was willing to part ways with a couple of million or maybe 3.

If we have a morsel of good news on Monday, I think the door goes from being open a crack to ajar. Just a wild guess, but I think our chances of Garcia returning may go up to 1 in 4, maybe even 1 in 3. Let's hope that Morsell will become the pivot point.

Without Garcia, I’m expecting close to that. Maybe 13 and 8 with plenty of Double Doubles. If he can stay out of foul trouble, he could be even better. Hopefully he plays good enough defense and is injury free so he can put up big numbers. The ceiling is high for J Lew.

Morsell coming and no Dawson is where I would set your expectations.

I set my own expectations but thanks for the kind offer to help. By stating that I think the chances for Garcia returning will increase to 1 in 4, maybe 1 in 3, obviously I do not expect Garcia to return.

I can't speak for all,  but I know many who said Wojo was back gave a pretty big caveat.... unless a donor or donors offered to pay the buyout. That caveat was mercifully fulfilled and Wojo was thankfully shown the door.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Contrarian theory would be that Morsell might be choosing MU because Garcia is leaving?

And everything I heard was that he was going to be back - until things got really bad in the BET.
