I thought I posted this b/4, but the morning Tucson paper refers to DG as a transfer from Narquette who has contacted AZ  and several others who were named. Looks like he's gone.

He may be gone, but how the Tucson newspaper referred  to him is irrelevant.

You did post this morning. It wasn't news.  DG said a few days ago that he was entering the transfer portal but its also considering returning to Marquette. That last part may just be a courtesy

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

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

If it makes Lenny’s feel better to admit I was wrong, I’ll admit I was wrong.

Anyone who posts frequently here sharing opinions re future events is wrong sometimes. The point was that you claimed it as a fact, a #done deal, and not an opinion or a prediction - and stated as much. Now it was still a #done deal but one bad loss (of many) turned the tide? Sounds like IWB and the Mrs Shaka story.

I have 5 text strings of #mubb. About 26 alums involved.  By February if 2021 it was 100% negative. 

I knew he was done. You can’t operate with that negativity.  There’s no ticket sale potential.

And yet, unless Scholl was lying to everybody's faces, he and Lovell gave Wojo every opportunity to keep his job if Wojo had agreed to make changes to his bench.

Whatever the total truth is, the vast majority of us are glad Wojo is gone, and I optimistically look forward to the Shaka Smart Era.

With the personalities involved, it is completely believable.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

No, bc I surround myself with pretty diverse group of thinkers.  This was the worst it ever was.  My "off line" MU world is a lot like Scoop, rarely is everyone completely aligned.

I don't think Scholl was lying, but my guess is that he presented Wojo with a bit of a sophie's choice.

Good Lord but this is absurd. Seattle had 4 days in recorded history above 100. We will double that by tomorrow.

We moved out of our downtown high rise (Seattle has turned into a craphole in many ways) for a place on the water. Jumping into the Sound never felt better.

Our place has central air but it's amazing how many homes here do not. Some friends have booked themselves into hotels for the week. We are on the coast for the weekend so we letting a family squat in our place.

We played 18 on Saturday though TBD's mom insisted on riding. It might have been 102 but compared with Tikrit it was balmy.

Frankly, I blame this all on Al Gore. He's the sonuvabitch who invented Global Warming. Bastard.

Strange as it may seem, Wojo returning may have been the key to keeping Dawson and DJ on board.  DJ seemed to be on board (even tweeting pro MU stuff) until he had some time with Shaka on campus.  DJ might not have liked what Shaka had to say about his game.

If this was the case, then the trade of losing DJ and Garcia was worth it for the long run.  A slow swirl (further?) down the drain has been avoided, although next year is going to be bumpy.

Dawson seemed to me that he was gonna declare either way. DJ I agree, seemed on board at first. Would definitely like to know what those conversations were like.

So claiming to have facts that don’t exist is a minor detail in your world (Chicosesque pedantry, lol). Sad.

+1. Keeping a bad coach because you don’t want to lose the players that just got you a 9th place finish in the Big East is flat out dumb.

So now that Garcia's in the portal does he have to commit by July 1st? Or can he take his time deciding where to go?

Hes fine. He just had to be in the portal to not have to worry about any sort of waiver
