Sounds like neither MSU or Virginia would Crean their roster to make room for both, so Joey Hauser to MSU and Sam to Virginia, instead of both to Wisconsin, who was the only one with room for both.

That got weird. Much rumblings they told UW coaches they were coming last week, then suddenly a change and this split. 

Puts a damper on what some UW fans were already dreaming about as a special season in two years, but only slightly changes the fact they need to recruit some groups to reload the next couple years.

Wow, Howard Moore. I don't know how I could possibly recover from something like that, if it were to happen to me. Jeez. I can't imagine.

Kinda sucks to get screwed by the same recruit twice in 2 years.

shouldn't recruit those types

Rumors are that the parents hate Gard.

I can't figure out how you could have that strong a reaction to him either way to turn down a chance for your son's to play together in state at a really good school and a really good program, to send them to two different programs, far away.

Yeah, it’s odd. I mean, if the kids want to go to those places, good on them.

I can’t tell if the Mom part is real or internet scuttlebutt. I’d be fascinated to know how Gard offended. It also makes me more annoyed how UW ended up in this saga by not being in position to recruit Sam Hauser way back when. Maybe that wouldn’t have mattered, but it could’ve helped.

Not offering Sam had little to do with not getting Joey. Izzo didn't offer Sam either...

Herro being committed had more to do with not getting Joey, and then he completely F'd Gard over with that late de-commitment and flip to Kentucky.

 Fair enough. Very weird landing spot for Sam. One of the message board insiders pointed out he’s going to have to sit a year to play year 1000 miles from home learning a new system. And shoot, might get him dumped as well.

I suspected this all along, but if it is final, that is a big development for the Buckeyes.

Gavitt Games are announced. Michigan got what appears to be a favorable matchup with Creighton at home. However, the others appear to be not so favorable except DePaul @ Iowa and Sparty @ Seton Hall (see below). Aren't the ACC Challenge games usually announced by now, too???....

Villanova at Ohio State
Michigan State at Seton Hall
Purdue at Marquette
Providence at Northwestern
Penn State at Georgetown
Minnesota at Butler
DePaul at Iowa

Did they move the dates?  MSU had never played in it before due to conflicts with the Champions Classic
