Wojo may not get close to Crean or Buzz (Though one could argue he's on his way to a Wadeless Crean) but don't perpetuate the myth that he doesn't go after in state talent. The WI talent has either been elite to the point where we weren't getting them anyways (Jalen Johnson) but Buzz failed with those too (Looney, Stone), ended up at MU (Henry, Sam, Joey, Heldt) or dropped off considerably where it hasn't been BE talent. The transfer thing has been beaten to death and I agree is the real issue, it has nothing to do with not getting Wisconsin talent. Tell me one great player from WI during our golden years run 67-78 except Jim Chones.

For the record I don't believe Wojo will cut it, but there's enough actual evidence of that without including false info.

It's strange Wojo has kept his job this long, you would think he'd have been run outta there after this year for sure. But it's about the same with other great programs like St. John's and Georgetown that hire unproven coaches who have nothing but name recognition as a player or assistant.

Done just enough to keep his job. We were a lock this year, and made the tournament 2/3 previous years and just missed it in 2018. If he flops one year he'll be gone but as long as he's stagnant at this level he'll be around
