Graduating at 26?

Unusually old, yes.

After watching Bartlett go 0/6 from the arc in one game last year, if he can get near that 40% against NBL opposition, he'll be a better player at fewer points. Hopefully the extra years brings some maturity and composure, as well.

The Wildcats haven't won a game with Muo in their line up so he can't be good

Also, the first fresh blood into the NBL so far this off-season, unless I missed a couple signings.

Nathan, Mitchell Young signed with Carins was the first

Looks like a good signing. Very excited about the prospect of having a reliable 3 point shooter - lets hope it works out!

Would love for the Cats to sign Cody Ellis now that Trueman has signed with the Breakers.

@Big Sexy,

Cheers

Pretty good pickup IMO.

Muo is a great shooter and can light it up. He demonstrated in college that he has the ability to explode for 20+ in any given game.

I played with him 2004-2005 in SBL. talented player with high basketball IQ. He is going to bring a lot of excitement to this game. well done Wildcats

Good to get some encouraging news after a lot of the recent uncertainty. Has me feeling hungrier for what our import choices will be.

I'm sure Muo will be good, but is it just me scratching my head why new players are being signed with no coach in place yet??

channel 10 sport ran a story last night that trevor gleeson yes gleeson is favourite for wildcats job.

So we have
Hire 6pt,
Muo 3pt,
Knight 10pt,
Redhage 10pt (29pt)

joining

Martin 9pt*,
Wagstaff 8pt*,
Bartlett 4pt* (21pt)

Giving us 20pts for 3 players.

Bet the Cats would murder to knock off one last point.

Why Gleeson a backward step?

Umm you put the question mark in the wrong place. I'm pretty sure you meant

Why Gleeson?
a backward step

Any chance we can find out what those members said to Marvin to prompt him to say that?

That is, one of the 8,200 members that the rude and abrupt Marvin has helped attract to the club...

If that's true then it's the fault of whoever is dishing out the credit, not the fault of the person on the receiving end of it.

I have had the occasional interaction with Marvin over the years and have never had an issue, so I too would be interested to know what prompted that response from him (assuming it actually occurred). It sounds like a response to something pretty retarded.

Did the member cut himself too?

Marvin once got back to me on a merchandising issue on a public holiday to say it would be dealt with when staff returned. That was pretty impressive.

The Perth Wildcats are lucky to have someone as competant as Nick Marvin running our organisation. The current situation is testament to his leadership, whilst people get on his case to make snap decisions on the roster and coaching appointments he holds his nerve and makes good decisions for the immediate and long term future of the club. Before you whinge about Nick have a look at some of the other clubs and the financial and roster predicaments they get themselves into, i think we should appreciate what we have.

just my opinion

Total speculation on my part but that makes sense to me, as they had an absolute shitload of staff early on. Justifiable too, given the change from Challenge to Perth Arena and the associated huge push for members & sponsors.
I would assume that had settled down by the end of the season with all the changes out of the way, and they were able to return to a more normal staffing level.
