Wojo on HC inexperience: Thinks he has a overwhelming level of experience. Coached in NBA, USA teams, best college, and coached/seen the best talent/practices. He needs to learn but can bring alot that others can't.

Wojo on Parker leaving: He'd tell him to follow his heart and best interests. Will be a good pro and go to where he will develop the best.

Wojo on father's example: Dad/Mom were best example of work ethic, had a blue collar job/mentality. Sounds simple, but that formula of working hard/show up usually leads to success. That's what he wants to do at MU.

Quick, pretty simple, but he sounds ready to go.

Chris carrawell first assistant to be hired under wojo. Acc player of the year in 2000. Coached 3 seasons in the d league. Sandy Cohen also staying at Marquette. So far so good!

Keeping Cohen is huge. That kid is going to be a player.

Being around GB, I've heard more of Cohen and just on the eyeball test my biggest concern is his size. There is not too much to the guy, so hopefully they can add a little meat to his frame. Otherwise by all accounts the guy can play and seems to have his head on fairly straight after Seymour's Coach took him in.

Wojo was at the Bucks game last night, they showed him on the big screen and he got a pretty good reaction. It looked like they interviewed him on the broadcast too.

Woj was there, pic went on the Jumbotron in like the end of first or early second or so. Shortly after that he was headed for the exit. I don't blame him.

Wojos first staff is completed that include a couple of very good former college players Chris carrawell and Brett Nelson.

Very excited about the staff with the young guys that knew how to play. I think this will be a bounce back year for the team and gets back to the big dance

Same here, I'm looking forward to everything that is going on too. It would've been nice to hang on to the Ahmed Hill though. Oh well.

11 scholarship players with 2 open to use. I'm interested to see if he goes after 3 year graduates or just sits on the two open. He's said he doesn't want to add two just to fill out the team.

I really can't wait for the Duane-Wilson-the-starting-PG era to begin.

Wojo got the 4-star Sun Prairie PG back on board. Solid work.

Losing their top recruit hurts (Hill ranked #54 ESPN) - followed Buzz to VTech - I think a mistake. uzz ended up with 2 top 100 recruits - best VTech has done in awhile. He continues to recruit the hell out of Ohio. Hill also had offers from Florida, Indiana, and Mizzo.

They at least were able to hang onto the local kid Cohen (#83 ESPN) his other top offers came from Creighton and Memphis. Adding Nick (a top 60 player) for 2015 class is big- that POS Buzz had swiftly went and made him an offer to VTech- he really didn't have an offer from one of the premier schools. They are in the hunt for a bunch of top 60 players in that class- which is why I don't think Woj will use the other 2 spots in this class. Among the list of top 60 players are Wisco products Stone and Ellenson. My guess is Stone goes Uconn or Georgetown. I think Ellenson goes to UW.

Wojo has a punchers chance at Stone, UCONN is my best guess, but their coach may end up coaching in the NBA very soon.

ALL the teams that have offered have a punchers chance. I would rate that chance at about 3%. No one right now quite knows what Wojo's style is since he has no Head Coaching experience. He wasn't a great recruiter for Duke either- was more of a bench assistant/2nd chair. I don't know if any of his Assistants hired were more recruiting specialists?

UConn has probably got the edge right now after winning the Championship and especially if Ollie stays.

Wow that's really impressive. Banner year for HS BBall prospects in Wisconsin.

Kerb Hohl · Post #99 » by **Kerb Hohl** » Tue Jun 3, 2014 6:53 pm

And probably only one of them will stay in the state (Noskowiak) unfortunately. Maybe Ellenson.

Thunder Muscle · Post #100 » by **Thunder Muscle** » Tue Jun 3, 2014 11:31 pm

I wonder if that Freshman from Wisconsin Rapids is still committing to Marquette...?
