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]

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?

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.

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.
