they are discussing Mbakwe and why he left MU...my fav thing about reading MU's board is how arrogant they are that they are in the BEast and how much they hate on the B10. I say stay in ONE conference for more than 5 years and then we'll all talk. btw, your coach left for Indiana. enough said.
these are a few of the posts:
-"TM's handlers have a lot to do with his decision. But, why on earth would one give up a year of PT in the BE as a starter to play at a JUCO (and I DO mean Minnie as well as the actual JUCO) ? Its not as if TM will be a pro pro prospect in a different system. In the end, I guess there was a lot of pressure to stay "home" ( wherever that is for TM )."
-"Let's not kid ourselves that Mbakwe wouldn't have been a three-year starter.
That is, provided he didn't go into self-destruction mode. Transferring from a Big East program with great guards to attend junior college defies logic. Something is rotten in the State of Denmark.
Tubby breaking the rules!? I'm appalled someone would posit such derogatory drivel. He is a fine man of Kentucky stature. Kentucky has always done it the right way."
-"Okay, so suppose he wanted to transfer to Minnesota the whole time. Why would he transfer to a JUCO in the hopes that UM would keep a scholarship available for him? He had to have known Tubby would make room for him. And in that case, why not just transfer at the beginning of the summer and let everyone move on? He waited until the last possible second, using MU's resources and leaving his teammates and Buzz without a post option they were relying on.
So if Tubby told him to stay for the summer, get the benefits of working out with a high major program, then transfer at the last possible second, that doesn't seem unethical to you? Maybe it's not against the rules, but it's slimy to the Nth degree."
anyways, just thought I'd share....so I guess screw my parents and GO BUCKY this Saturday! sorry, I know what I just typed, I just can't help myself...I hate the BEast and I am starting to hate MU fans.
