Jesus wept

I thought that happened when we lost to Miami of Ohio in 1978.

Or when Al retired.

[jsglow]

it'll presumably be quiet until the guys get home and then heat up again.  Hoping that Coffey gives Wojo a 'thumbs up' call by early September.

Hopefully ellenson is as good as advertised and leaves, and we rebuild with Amir, houser and kostas. Would be a pretty well rounded class and starts to help us balance classes coming up

You think that would be better than the prospects of having this WHOLE team return...and adding Hauser, Rowsey and Amir?

Uhh why "hope" for a rebuild lol.

If Henry returns we have legit F4 aspirations in 16-17

Especially if we add a Coffey level player

I love the smell of Basketball in the Morning!

[PGsHeroes32]

Yup. That's what I was saying.

1 more year of Henry and then a 2017 recruit is 100 times the option than Getting Kostas in 16 lol.

I value your opinion since you have seen Wally play at Minn, do you see any glimmer or potential of improvement?  IF so maybe its due to playing with his Brother, Team make-up and/or Coaching Staff.

Thanks

Well I kept telling people to really temper their expectations because he wasn't impressive at the U even if people want to point to a little injury/lack of PT.

That said I do see potential and I like having him on the team a lot. Points towards improved depth. He shouldn't be leaned on for heavy PT but his athleticism will make him useful for bursts of the bench. And if he's got the hot hand we can ride him. Already looks more in control during this trip than his time at Minny.

Let's hope not!!!!

Amir Coffey isn't going to make or break MU basketball.  I'd love to have him, but recruiting disappointments happen all the time.

Of course i would want HE to return as a beast sophomore but if I think there are 4 realistic options:
1. HE dominates, takes us deep and leaves for the NBA. (Okafor)
2. HE is underwhelming but leaves for the NBA based on potential (Kevon Looney)
3. HE never lives up to his potential and is a serviceable player for 3 years.

I guess the fourth scenario is he sticks around after a slightly disappointing year and really comes into his own as a sophomore. But HE seems like he has 1 and done potential and I want MU to continue to have a rep of developing NBA talent instead of having recruits underachieve.

Like I said, I would rather the guy come in and be a beast leading us to a tourney run then to be a disappointment. What's wrong with hoping for the best year a team can possibly have considering who knows what will happen the following year?

I guess I am also a fan who thinks it is usually better for a player to leave early then lose millions of dollars/experience in college. The guy is a top 10 pick right now and leading this team to the S16 will solidify it. I would never wish for a player to come back in that scenario because it will most likely be against his best interests.

I'm like you guys and can dream HE coming in dominating and coming back to promise a F4 appearance, but I don't see it happening. I would rather have him dominate and leave then struggle and stay.

[willie warrior]

Wow. This is bad.

While I would agree that is disappointing, it is not even close to discouraging. It does not even "balance" the landing of HE. Now that was" bad" for Ky. and MSU. But hey, screw them, ai'na?

[4everwarriors]

Next man up, ai na?

Dude I'm saying it's bad for us that they are predicting he goes to minny. You know, like bad for our chances?

I'm not saying it's a program crumbling development lol.

[MUfan12]

Coffey is a nice player, but I think Stevens is a better fit for the roster moving forward.

[keefe]

Well, Coffey probably wasn't that good, anyhow
