Apparently we just offered to him, is he Canada's top 2015 prospect?

[marquette20]

18th ranked player in any country so I would assume Canada's best.
Main offers are from Michigan State and Kansas.

Definitely a Coolest Name candidate.

I have seen 6'5, 195/ 6'6 200.    So somewhere in that range.   A nice athletic switchable.

Montaque to Marquette?

[Dawson Rental]

But he is not a traditional 

What exactly is your point?

[Dawson Rental]

There is an interesting comment about Montaque possibly reclassifying to 2014 that accompanies the You Tube video.

"....has been the topic of discussion lately as he ponders whether or not to reclass to 2014 and enter college a year early."

I saw that.   If he were to re-classify and Wojo were to land him, IMO that would be Wojo's first major recruiting coup.   The only downside is that he would have the same size and skillset as the other incoming freshman. 

[Skatastrophy]

Et tu, Montaque?

Thurston Howell III.

Back to the age old question:

      Ginger or Mary Ann?

[hairy worthen]

Back to the age old question:

      Ginger or Mary Ann?

My question is why either or?  If I was Gilligan I would be trying to do both. Some days you feel like a little Ginger, some days Mary Anne. If I was forced to choose one, the obvious answer is Ginger not even close.

Wojo beating Kansas for a recruit would put to rest the any questions about his recruiting ability.

http://www.rantsports.com/ncaa-basketball/2014/04/11/gary-harris-to-return-to-michigan-state-after-montaque-gill-caesar-wont-reclassify/

Sounds like he stated in April that he will not be reclassifying as seen in the above article.  See the relevant quoted text:

Couple that devastating loss with the stress of possibly losing Gary Harris to the NBA and you have one coach who might not be looking forward to a long offseason. Now Izzo has to deal with losing out on five-star recruit, Montaque Gill-Caesar for the 2014 recruiting class.
No, Gill-Caesar didn’t commit elsewhere and he’s still a favorite to pick MSU, but he announced on Friday morning that he would not be reclassifying to the 2014 class — as many thought he would be.

Back to the age old question:

If your only competition is Gilligan, the skipper, the professor and Thurston Howell III I think you go after both.

Youre missing Mrs. Howell

Mary ann is the girl that you make sweet, sweet love to on the beach.  Ginger was the kinda broad that you try to film a bukkake video with.

[Dawson Rental]

Even experience with Thurston III?  I'm skeptical.  Mrs. Howell also seemed to me as likely to have her share of hangups.  Being raised in high society could have it's disadvantages, particularly mid-2oth century.

Only on scoop could a discussion about a 5 star recruit quickly degenerate into a debate about the pros and cons of boinking Mrs. Howell.

(As far as Mrs. Howell goes, eewww! I would rather do that fat head hunter island girl that wanted to marry Gilligan.)

In our defense, Mrs. Howell may have been a 5 star at one point.

I mean when youre only one of 7 people on the island and the guy to girl ratio is not in your favor, the pickings are slim.

[BrewCity83]

Mrs. Howell is certainly the blueblood of the group.

[Dawson Rental]

I mean when youre only one of 7 people on the island and the guy to girl ratio is not in your favor, the pickings are slim.

Let's see you've got a slob (the captian), a dimwit (Gilligan), a nerd (the professor), and an old snob.  The ratio is more like 0 to 3.  Lovie (Mrs. Howell) should have been alright, but there must have been many frustrating nights for both Ginger and MaryAnn.

Back to topic; does Montaque Gill-Caeser appear to be more of a Ginger or a MaryAnn type of guy?

[warriorchick]

I mean when youre only one of 7 people on the island and the guy to girl ratio is not in your favor, the pickings are slim.

My guess is Ginger and Mary Ann didn't hook up with any of them.

Look at their options: A personality-challenged geek, a dorky-looking idiot, an obese guy who spent way to much time with his "first mate", and an unattractive, ascot-wearing old man whose wife was always around.

[Les Nessman]

Obviously, MaryAnn and Ginger were keeping each other satisfied.

"Unattractive"?  I guess that that's a question of taste, but there is no denying that Thurston could do a killa Mister Magoo impersonation.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

I had that on VHS in the early 90s.

[Tums Festival]

Who's to say Mary Ann wasn't a wildcat in the sack?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I had that on VHS in the early 90s.

The nice thing about VHS is that you never lost your place in the "film" Could always pick right back up where you left off.

[willie warrior]

Youre missing Mrs. Howell

Now that is downright perverse, unless you are trying to bag her money.

[real chili 83]

I'll bet Gilligan watched.

[warriorchick]

Now that is downright perverse, unless you are trying to bag her money.

Yet you didn't think it was perverse that I included Mr. Howell among the available men.  Hypocrite.

I've got a feeling Mrs. Howell could do some special tricks with that chiffon scarf she was always waving around.

Just reacting to some of the early complaints in other threads about Coach Wojo - he is not working hard at recruiting, not hiring the right coaches and he is reshaping MU roster to resemble UW.  Seems to me that he is doing a great job on all fronts.  MU BB is in great hands.

[tower912]

MU has a schollie waiting.   The problem is that he is a 6'7 wing, and MU would need him to play a spot-up 4, at a minimum.

You assume all the guys like girls, and vice versa.

Possession of pot, ah ha!  While everyone else I knew assumed Gilligan was a simple man, I knew he was just stoned out of his mind all the time.  His habit must have rubbed off on poor MaryAnn.

Another MU connection (other than our recruitment of MGC): the MSU lead is former MU asst coach, DwAYne Stephens.

MU makes his short list!  And even though UK offered, they do not.




Montaque "Teki" Gill-Caesar reportedly has a short

http://www.bigeastcoastbias.com/2014/7/30/5953331/two-big-east-schools-make-short-list-for-gill-caesar

Hoops Hype CA tweeted out earlier this afternoon that Class of 2015 wing Montaque "Teki" Gill-Caesar has a short list of Florida State, Providence, Missouri, Marquette, Indiana and Michigan State. The native of Ontario plays at prep powerhouse Huntington Prep in West Virginia.

Marquette received some more good news earlier today when Class of 2015 shooting guard Levan Alston kept them in his final six. They have two open scholarships for the Class of 2015 and adding a combo guard in Alston and a wing forward in Gill-Caesar would be nice but I would think most Marquette fans feel a big man, namely Top 10 forward Henry Ellenson, needs to fill at least one of their open scholarships.

Providence making the short list is good news for Ed Cooley. Providence has some wing talent on the roster like Gill-Caesar's former Huntington Prep teammate Jalen Lindsey but for a program that has a lot of open scholarships for the class of 2015 (4 currently), stockpiling talented players with guard skills would be just fine.

Missouri is seen by many as the favorite because in late June Missouri head coach Kim Anderson hired Rob Fulford, formerly the head coach at Huntington Prep, to be an assistant coach for the Tigers.

Definitely happy to be in the running. I think Michigan state and Mizzou are the two to beat. MGC and Ellenson would be a helluva way to round out the 2015 class

This would be an excellent pick up. Hopefully we can get him in for an official visit.

Going to Mizzou, per Goodman.

[Jay Bee]

He's a mature player - ready now. Thought he would do this (very late reclass), but wrong school (if you wanted him at MU).

From a 2014-15 player-personnel perspective, MU could use a big today more than Teki (See Calvin Godfrey post).
