I don't understand the dislike for Storr.

Storr is not Skyy Clark or Matthew Mayer. Clark CLEARLY being a selfish, me first player who is willing to turn his back on his teammates...and Mayer, while talented, was more of just a weirdo then a bad guy. IMO Storr has not shown to be anything as bad or weird as those 2.

Storr is an elite athlete at 6'6" who is at 16 ppg on 43% from the field. There is so much room for growth still as well. You could do so much worse for a transfer and folks are already talking about him as team cancer.

If the staff thinks he can be coachable and that he would be willing to fit into what they wanna do, I would take a real hard look at Storr, were he to become available.

Listen. I hope I am wrong!! I personally don't always go by stats...I mean I think Epps led the Big east in scoring ? I go by the eye test, and I see a lot of separation between him and his teammates. Also, I would be interested in just how hard Wisconsin would/is/did even try to keep him. That to me is telling. Read any newspaper from that area....are they freaking out about maybe losing him? Again, I really hope I am wrong, although I did not deem him a cancer. I am saying I don't think he will fit into our every day guy attitude we have built and want to maintain. jmho


EDIT: I will say he no doubt has the NBA skills and athletic abilities....but that still doesn't mean he would be good for our FamILLy!!!

stuff has blown up on Brad. doubt he has forgotten. roster makeup is critical. he's gonna do his due diligence. agree that there are caution flags and they need to be resolved.

I've watched ~90% of Badger games this year (Illini daughter did her vet med in Madison) and while Storr is not as bad as Epps or Clark, I don't see enough team player and too much "I'm gonna get mine."
