PS... You can believe the Illinois kids want be leaving for Wisconsin or Madison... Ha...ha... Not a dream for them... Looks like PJ will be starting at this point, I'm pumped! No dis-respect but we coming for whoever.... Right at the 1.07 mark you can see it being handed to some WI kids on PGW team (who going to WI too)... In a month it all begins...

I am not going to lie, I am disappointed. I didn't think he was the best fit for the system but he was a gamer and had some confidence that I liked. In the back of my mind I always kind of worried about something like this since he does have such confidence...that maybe he would think he was bigger than GB. I don't know that I see him being a great player for UW but I am sure he will contribute eventually. He needs to work on his handles, especially at that level, as well as learn how to get to the hoop and finish. With a year off who knows how good he can get.
For GB this stinks for two reasons. One because the staff put a ton of time into him and that seems wasted now that they only received 20 games played. The other is the timing of his departure, it is kind of late to lose another starter.
With only 4 guys returning who have played for GB in the past it will be an interesting start to the year.

I have three things: 1. What if this was Trev's plan the whole time? For example, what if Gard told him to go play some where else for a year and then come walk on? We'll never know but it's a good possibility. 2. Who ever said Hankerson will turn out to be a better player for UWGB is most certainly right now. 3. I am sure they are working their tails offs right now but this move is huge for Pipes and Hankerson. 1. I could certainly see that being the case 2. That was me, I'll be signing autographs later 3. PJ and Kam sounds like a ridiculous combo at the 1 and 2 spots, I'm excited!

I am sure they are working their tails offs right now but this move is huge for Pipes and Hankerson. This may not be too far off. Playing a year at a mid-major school (and started most of the season before the back injury) where he started gave him a good barometer of where he would stand playing for a top flight Big Ten program.....Remember the days when UW was NOT a top flight Big Ten program in the Steve Yoder days? Even when DB was there, they were a middle of the road program initially. The redshirt year will do him some good and get used to the speed of Big Ten caliber guards in practice. I think he could be a little bit better than Zach Schowalter. I don't think Linc is in over his head. He's an experienced HC (albeit in D2, but has won a Nat'l Championship and has taken other teams in deep playoff runs) and compared to the other candidates that interviewed, he had the most HC experience and his teams at FSC went deep in the D2 playoffs. He took a team with mostly BW's leftovers and JC transfers and got to the NCAA's. Trev's back injury cost the team another run in the HL tourney. Next season will test Linc's HC experience again......Hankerson at PG is very intriguing. But still.......When I saw the Twitter feed.....I did yell out "S**T!!!!!"

Of course you have a negative comment Shooting the J about Darner and his staff, it really comes as no surprise. Kanter and Anderson both expressed their appreciation for Green Bay's staff, faculty(yes and even coaches), and teammates. They are both transferring to Power 5 conferences, not low D1, or D2. Kanter could have transferred last year if he recieved(what is it you say no coaching), he hardly played Darner's first year, prime opportunity to transfer and didn't.
This is the landscape of college basketball today, especially graduated athletes with one year of eligibility left. Memphis, Marquette, and Bradley to name a few, have been plagued with athletes transferring out the last couple seasons. I'm sure those coaches are in over their heads as well to.
Good luck to Anderson and Kanter.
Go Phoenix!!!!!!

The last couple months have been a major downturn for the program with today's news sort of being the cherry on top of a s*!t sundae. I think Trev had a chance to be a really good player as an upperclassman. He was a guy they were building around and now they kind of have to do some major retooling after losing what should have been some good building blocks in Anthony Brown, Trev, and Paul Turner.
Things looked so rosy after Linc won like 10 of the last 11 games of '15-'16 and got them to the tourney. After how last year ended and how this off-season has gone, it's not going to be easy for him to get the program back on track.
This is looking like a team heading more towards the basement than they are the top.

Some of the folks on the Badger board seem to think that between Trevor and his dad, they can deliver the younger Hauser.

Oh please, Anderson left to go to his dream school. Kanter left because he thought it would give him a better shot at the NBA playing in those Big East/NBA arenas and cities. Anthony Brown got into an altercation in student housing. Stuff happens. Darner has a solid track record at three other colleges before GB. He knows how to run a program and will be fine. Barring injuries to Anderson's, Charles Cooper being dinged up all season and Warren Jones multiple injuries -- this past season could have been a repeat of the NCAA run.
Yes, lots of new faces and a lot of opportunities for players willing to grab the chance.
I was more concerned three coaches back when non D1 players were being given scholarships and when the Wardle investigation was underway. FYI, in the end that turned out well for the school.
There are two scholarships open and lots of quality transfers, JUCOs and the best high school senior point guard in the state available.

Another reason to hate the badgers. Hopefully he doesn't turn out as good as everyone says he would and is another brevin pritzel. So much for wanting not to just be another guy and wanting to be the star. Why didn't he just go to butler or another big school when offered? He expected to be coached here. Then he found out Linc is in way over his head here, and jumped ship. Very similar to why Kanter moved on.
We'll gladly take Linc back. Can he leave today?

This is looking like a team heading more towards the basement than they are the top. I really couldn't disagree any more. Look, stuff happens. In this day and age, guys transfer at the drop of a hat for the most trivial of reasons. We just landed Manny, got another solid transfer in Schwartz and to top it off, we might not have to deal with Valpo any more. I think we will achieve great success in the next few years.

Hope Linc can bring in McKnight at the very least and hopefully another big JC man......Let's hope for slightly above .500, and hope we are surprised by the end of the season. We still have some talent and/or experience, but will have a lot of newcomers once again.

Lets flip the equation and realize the players and potential recruits have a unique opportunity because of the situation. Anderson's timing sucks but it is what it is. In this situation Karma goes to Darner and the Green Bay program.

Translation: Green Bay is a stepping stone, my teammates didn't pass me the ball enough and they didn't make me look good enough.
