Who Was Future NBA Player Who Wanted to Go to MU and Deane Said NO?

Didn't Polonowski quit the team his senior year to just party?  I remember seeing Polo at every party.

I think you are thinking of Jarrod Lovette. He had a rough senior season.

I don't know. We've had seasons go off the rails after players have written letters.

This post is not getting the attention it deserves.

yeah, Lovette definitely didn't quit to "party." I'm glad to read he's working every day to overcome his struggles and seems to have been successful in doing so.

He may not have quit to party but he spent alot of time at Murph's, the optics were not very good.

It definitely worked out in the long run. Crean, Wade, Big East...lots of dominoes fell into place.

You forgot a couple of dominoes after big east....Buzz, Buzz gone, Wojo, lack of success, loss of Hausrs  and dumping of Wojo-Dukiet.

He was talking about things that you fail to recognize happening, i.e., good stuff.

He didn't quit to party but sometimes what people perceive as "partying" is really a way to hide other things.  He had a very challenging senior year.

Also seeing how Polo played all four years and played in the last regular season game of his senior season it doesn't sound like he quit the team.
