The ...Wow, you previous poster sounds so negative. The sun is shining. We have a top 15 ranked team. I think we just set ourselves up to be disappointed with Shumpert. All the hype, going head to head with UNC, being a local Chicago product. That's what happens when our expectations are high and maybe not substantiated. Like the popular pretty girl who we have a crush on but has no interested in us, but there are equally beautiful woman who we haven't noticed yet that have an interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-15505383082788591702007-10-30T10:58:00.000-05:002007-10-30T10:58:00.000-05:00It's still a blow that MU didn't land Shumpert. Ho...It's still a blow that MU didn't land Shumpert. However, if they can get Dominic Creek for 2009(Tyshawn's backcourt mate) then all is well. The sad truth is MU cannot get a top 50 recruit and has difficulty recruiting power forwards and centers. I hope Mbakwe can rebound and progresses offensively. Having too many guards is ok but we need big men who can score a little and rebound to make a run in the NCAA. This year will be there best chance to make a run since D. Wade, and if they lose early it will be a major disappointment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-86286116874556781882007-10-29T23:17:00.000-05:002007-10-29T23:17:00.000-05:00Being stocked at the point guard position would be...Being stocked at the point guard position would be the most important in college basketball, and we just landed a big time point guard. Shumpert may have been better for the program perception wise, but I bet Taylor makes a more significant contribution in college.<BR/><BR/>For a tumultuous recruiting season, Taylor and Williams would be very solid bookends. If only Big Frank would have been allowed to join them.Zuchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09155975823397091461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-35327651616906254352007-10-29T21:57:00.000-05:002007-10-29T21:57:00.000-05:00This is a great get and a phenominal way to follow...This is a great get and a phenominal way to follow-up the Iman loss. This is what MU needed to do and they did it. They followed up Shumpert with another highly regarded recruit and did what the big boys do....<BR/><BR/>If you lose out to one big guy, you go out and get another and we did.<BR/><BR/>As for MU's needs and potentially crowded back-court, I don't see this as a problem.<BR/><BR/>Crean said after the debacle of 03/04 that he'd never be with a shortage of guards again. And he's followed through on that. While MU is currently short down low next year, I don't think that means they are doomed to fail. The style MU is running now can be very successful if it's guard oriented. Many teams have won without a standout center. As long as they have some big bodies down low, they are once again set up to be a fun team to watch, and a team capable of winning a lot of games.<BR/><BR/>I also like everything Taylor has said and the fact his coaching tree is so good.Gene Frenklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219722201995664841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-75868723726159170492007-10-29T20:05:00.000-05:002007-10-29T20:05:00.000-05:00Absolutely fantastic news!
