Wojo hired as Marquette's new coach

[wildturkey]

Hey Marquette guys, how many of your recruits do you think Wojo will get to stay? I'm obviously asking because it's been suspected that one or two will follow Buzz to VT.

BTW, if I'm a Marquette fan, I'm thrilled. I'd much rather have Wojo than Ben Howland. I know Howland got to two final 4s, but seriously, with the talent his UCLA teams had, they should have won titles (yes, plural). His style handicapped a lot of that talent.

In a realted story Marguette has changed their mascot from a Golden Eagle to a Flopping Eagle.

Cohen and especially Hill are two that really matter. I am worried that they may not stay but I doubt they go to VT either. Harris is but he was never gona step foot on campus most likely before Buzz even left. I heard(who knows the truth) that 3/4 of the recruits have solid relationships with Wojo so I think he has a shot. If I were to guess the one that doesn't I would say Shayok who asked for his release today to open things up. I don't want to see anyone leave but he's the one I would choose if asked.

Went to another Marquette site and just read this
"When I'm losing, they call me nuts. When I'm winning, they call me eccentric." Al McGuire.

Now that's classic.

Al came to my dorm room once. I wasn't there.

We're you an Al fan?

I thought he was a great coach, I loved listening to him. He had a certain flair about him, a certain honesty.

He was friends with my roommates family. All I knew was he was beating us in the 70's and I wasn't happy.

Earlier today I seen where Nick Noskowiak re-opened his recruiting. I didn't expect that one.

Just saw where four star recruit Sandy Cohen decided to stick with coach Wojo. Good deal. Hope the rest of the class will follow. Go Golden Eagles.
