Lockett Picks Marquette

You win some and you lose some. Good luck to Lockett thanks for considering us hope your mother gets healthier.

Honestly, I think it's better for the Cyclones that he didn't pick them. Lockett is good, but not a "must have" type of player. I think they will be better off finding a younger player to fill the void.

There are two rides available, and unless Pelle has an academic epiphany it's highly unlikely that two players of consequence will be signed. Lockett as a one-year guy would have been win-win.

What type of system is Wisconsin? Wouldn't that be similar to Creighton's? And isn't the reason he said didn't want to play at UW was because of the system? Pretty sure he's looking for something a little more upbeat.

Also not much to base that on but the assumptions that I've had.

That's my train of thought, too.

But something seems "off" about his reason to transfer.

Didn't he know what system UW had when he chose? It's not like it's a 2nd-year coach.

Maybe he just had a change of focus. And if that's the case, why go to another program that seems similar in philosophy?

Pretty sure he didn't want to big a big man at UW. And that's where they were trying to play him.

Ah - that makes sense.

Precisely. They were trying to fit him into their big man mold who can also shoot 3's. See Jon Leuer and Jared Berggren

Were they pushing him to the 4 position because of Sam Dekker playing the 3? He is a beast.

He didn't mean it like that. He's saying that it was worth a shot going after him. But we aren't in any worse position from having gone for him.

He said "nothing gained, nothing lost". That's a completely appropriate statement. No where did he say "Lockett has nothing to offer".

You win some, you lose some.

Thanks guys! I'm not sure how he interpreted it like he did, I thought what I said was pretty clear.

I didn't think about Dekker coming in. That was probably a factor. Either way, Uthoff felt that he was going to be used in a way that he did not want.
