I have lived near campus at UW and Marquette. Both great places.. I don't think it is fair to cry and assume a kid would have to be paid cash to choose Marquette. UW is a great program, but its not like its the only option in the state for elite prospects.

MU is trash.. coaching staff/boosters on down. They need to get rid of Wojo.
They were in the NCAA last year and have a lot of young talent.....not convinced Wojo can coach, but they have talent.

I don't begrudge him going to play with his brother, that connection was always going to be tough to overcome. It sucks because he his game would've been a perfect fit around the players we already have coming in.
Will be interesting to see where we turn now with the open spot.
I dont either, that family is like the Ball family of Wisconsin. I think everyone knew that was where he was headed. They can dictate his minutes and his usage there. Plus, I’m sure they got a few duffle bags full of cash from the boosters at MU, that never hurts either.
There was a zero percent chance he was going to UW, it was MU or if a natural disaster happened MSU.
They are still headed to the NIT though.
Lmao! The family is nothing like the Balls, Bo Ryan turned them off (and other families) and Gard just couldn't over come that....Hilarious screaming pay off.

Why? It was clear he was going to MU since his sophomore year. Nothing new. Just wish him well in the NIT and I hope he buys a nice car to drive around the couple block MU campus.

Will be interesting to see if they use the scholarship. They're still looking at a few guys, apparently.

Man the salt is real in here! Welcome to MU, Joey. All those pointing at Wisky success vs MU success may be eating major crow in a couple years. Let's remember that Wisconsin has only been decidedly better than MU for circa the past 5 years over both schools' histories.

Haha, MU has been saying that for 15 years now.
Hauser will just be another soft MU bust that maybe hits the NCAAs once, guys like him can’t handle the structure in the UW system, nor the winning.

You seem like the type to call a woman a fat slut after she turns you down. Must be rough.
But the irony is real considering the crown jewel of the UW class has never been a player who plays within structure and who just got his HS coach fired so a puppet HC could be installed AND has substantially more street ball tendencies than Hauser.

Since 2003
MU - 4 1st round exits, 5 non-appearances.. lots of sub 4th place conference results (297-159) cupcake scheduling
UW - 2 1st round exits - never missed NCAAs, 2 final fours, 1 finals. (363-127) - more difficult scheduling
During this timeframe - UW is top 10 nationally. MU somewhere top 50 probably. Not even close, even outside the 5 year window with Dekker and Kaminsky UW was still better. But taking that window out of play is just nonsense. Just like 15 years ago if i said, well if they didnt have Wade and Diener... that would have been just as stupid. UW clearly developed Kaminsky well and turned Dekker into a pro-ready SF... while surrounding them with NCAA capable winning players during their entire tenure. Heck UW hasn’t missed the tournament since some of you were in diapers. All that with only 2 real marquee recruits during that time period.. Butch and Dekker. You can argue Devin Harris, but he wasnt highly regarded until later in his senior season.

This whole process seems to be the status quo. Lose a national recruiting battle that goes [somewhat this time] late into the cycle. Then we'll hear about 4 or 5 guys they're in on but it'll be too little too late and we'll land as a runner-up because we don't have the major force to sway any players late in the process.
Will eventually settle on a late-bloomer and be fine.

He missed a comma or something since he was talking about conference results and then said cupcake scheduling.
Either way the point stands, the BEast can be a really grind some years a sub 4 conference finish is still a solid tourney team.
There are many reasons why Joey chose Marquette and he's just making UW fans look bad with his allegations

No one schedules their conference foes. That should have been pretty clear, no?
But yeah... comparing MU to UW in terms of recent (last 15/20 years) success is laughable. I think anyone can acknowledge that. Nor does MU have any prayer of getting much better with Wojo as coach.

Not flipping out, didnt think Hauser was going to UW anyways.
Just acknowledging that MU is an inferior team in the state that seems to get recruits way above their last 2 decades of results. Their campus sucks, the school isn’t very good, the coach is terrible.. there is next to nothing there worth choosing UW over except... bags full of cash. Anyone with a frontal lobe knows this.
