Joel Embiid?

[Knight Commission]

Weren’t we a finalist on his list?

[Hards Alumni]

That was the rumor at the time, yes.

[wadesworld]

Until Luc Richard Mba Moute told him he didn’t want to be in Milwaukee and then Kansas dropped the bag when he became better known.

[MU82]

Obviously, NIL's fault.

[tower912]

I seem to recall a Buzz story about one of Buzz's children asking why his big buddy Joel wasn't coming to MU.

[Uncle Rico]

Weren’t we a finalist on his list?

Just another Wojo failure

[Pakuni]

Weren’t we a finalist on his list?

We were definitely among the first schools in on him, but his finalists were Kansas, Texas and Florida.

Dude, this woulda bin on Buzz, hey?

[Uncle Rico]

Dude, this woulda bin on Buzz, hey?

So?  Why didn’t Wojo get him at Duke?

[4everwarriors]

ACT score of 6, aina?

[Nukem2]

Embiid did visit because his fav guy from UCLA was with the Bucks at the time.

[cheebs09]

let’s not forget the only reason he went to Kansas was Paint Touches told him to.

Lol…. I forgot about that.

Well he could have gotten into dental school.

[NCMUFan]

He was a one and done at Kansas.  We got Henry Ellenson, also a one and done.  So, no matter.

[bilsu]

I thought we had a good chance, until Kansas got in at the last minute. Just like we had a good chance at signing R. J. Davis until North Carolina showed up.

At the time, having his mentor Mbah a Moute in Milwaukee seemed like a positive, but it turned out Luc didn't like living in Milwaukee so I think that was more of a negative.

Embiid was the '13-14 season at KU.  Ellenson was the '15-16 season at MU.
Embiid would have been Buzz's last season, following our Elite 8.  Let's just say things would've been different.

We didn’t get Embiid because Creighton is a mid-major

If I remember right, Embiid was kind of a late bloomer that Buzz got in on early. He didn’t start playing basketball until later on. At one point were we his best option, especially with Mbah a Moute close? Then the big guns got involved late?

You ever been to Lawrence?  I imagine Mbah a Moute hadn't either.

[wadesworld]

Money talks.

[brewcity77]

That wasn't the relevant part. The relevant part was Mbah a Moute did live in Milwaukee, had a strong opinion about it, and Lawrence had a blue blood offering.

[MU82]

There’s no i in team, but there’s 2 i’s in Embiid.

[Pakuni]

So Marquette didn't land Embiid because:
1. Outsiders influenced him to go elsewhere.
2. He got paid to go elsewhere
3. He couldn't make it academically

Scoop is becoming Buckyville before our very eyes.

Feels pretty relevant.  Otherwise why bring up that Luc didn't like Milwaukee?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I have been to Lawrence, and its a nice college town.  Wouldn't particularly want to live there now, but I can see why its is attractive to college students.

The atmosphere at KU games is the best I've ever seen for a college game. It must be a pretty impressive place for a recruit on a visit ... and that's even before the money starts getting doled out.
