Marcus didn't get a single offer above mid major when he was being recruited out of high school. Missouri Valley, MAC and Horizon league schools dominated his offers. So Wisconsin was hardly the only high major to undervalue Marcus. They offered him out of the portal just like Illinois did.Would he have been part of the non-recruitment of Marcus by Wisconsin? I will see myself out. 😂
That was my cousins car twice removed. He was looking for some good BBQ sauce and heard that there is some in those partsa marroon car was spotted pulling into stillwater.
the maroon car has pulled into a joint called "the smokey pokey.'
That’s my other cousins place. He serves a mean BBQ along with what you will have in the back room 😉🤔😳
NONE of us actually know haha
It was interesting to watch the MO ST board go through 1500 posts and NO ONE mentioned Cuanzo Martin.
I’ll give those involved their due credit. Better even than no leaks, this has involved bad leaks and great ball fakes. And I apologize for spreading what I thought was credible info about a good hire. I should know better.
On a more serious note, this is the kind of stuff that irritates me a little bit:
I have a particular section of the extended family who have athletic backgrounds, all SIU alums too. By all accounts, they are knowledgeable sports fans. They attend high school games, tournaments, watch college ball, flip on the Cardinals every night - you know the ilk. But they attended, like, maybe one or two SIU games when Bryan was here - because work, family, too old, my back hurts, you know the drill. One of them tunes in to the radio broadcast and gives me the same, "I don't know what's going on with those sons uh' bucks. They just....they just can't...they can't get it going. I don't know what's going on with them.." (it never occurs that in-game coaching could ever possibly be a liability, it's always the players fault for running straight into the trap, etc etc)
And when I tune them in a little bit as to who SIU may be looking at in this coaching search it's, "I still think firing Mullins was a mistake."
I mean, come on. Aren't you going to watch a few more games than just the three that aired on Bally Sports Midwest before you make such a strong, defined opinion?
Did you see the offensive sets? Did you see the anemic motion offense that contained very little "motion" at all? Did you see Leonard's head turning into a tomato as we accrued yet another shot clock violation? Do you know that Mullins was well under .500 against the top 3-4 teams in the conference?
Just ranting. It's so frustrating because all three of them are r i g h t t h e r e. You're so close, guys. You're smart individuals. And you played sports! Call me up and I'll take you down to the Arena when I go. Mileage and snacks on me!
Anyway, just a small rant as we all wait out this process.
EDIT: By the way, this post wasn't meant to bemoan Mullins in any way. Rather, it was just to show some of the "blind faith" sheep type people that have those generic opinions to throw out there.
I live about 30 minutes away from Ferris State. You guys want me to drive up there to ask Andy Bronkema if he is going to come to SIU? (Of course, Ferris plays tomorrow night in the D-II Elite 8 in Evansville, so maybe it would be just as easy for one of you to go there to ask him.)
I researched Bronkema after Eli Hoover mentioned him as a potential candidate and really liked what I saw -- seemed a lot like McCollum with a terrific record, just a little bit more under the radar. Tried to whip up some enthusiasm for him on the board, but he didn't catch on.
Spradlin v. Krabbenhoft?
I'll go with with the Badger dude. The last time we hired a Big-18 assistant (albeit, Big-11 at the time) it worked out well for us. Maybe lightning will strike twice.
here is what I do know 100%.
lane did not like the style of play.Wisconsin does not seem to be where you would get a coach to change that
so now Lane didn’t like our style of play? So if and when he leaves is the new chancellor going to llkie something different. Like tough D. Who is running this search?

I was honestly gonna suggest Cuonzo as an option a couple of weeks ago but the dude hasn’t been coaching anywhere. I can’t believe they hired him.
The plane that came from Madison is scheduled to leave at 3:50 for Madison and come back to Carbondale. So guessing no announcement today?
Maybe he's taking the contract back for his lawyer to review tonight.
Go Dawgs!
Entering my name into the coaching search. Used to run quite the offense in NCAA 2k8

Literally the game me and a friend are playing on a daily basis still today 😂😂
So how many legit names do we have that have interviewed, will interview or are going to interview and pull their names out. Getting dizzying of all this conjecture. What’s the record of number of pages for a topic. BK?
@dunkledog maybe that’s how they get their hours in flying solo. We do have a national calibre team.
