Bottom Line section = raw.

Kid is originally from England.  Was playing at Believe Prep Academy last December when Buzz offered.  Believe is a basketball only boarding school located in a house in Rock Hill, SC.  In a past post, IIRC, Sultan mentioned that it didn't have the best reputation.  Here's a promo for them on YouTube, house looks like it could use some paint.

This could be an example of the type of Buzz recruit that was causing some concern with the administration.

Diploma Mill?

We have got to strive to do better.  Ugh

Yep. Whatever we do, no more Dwyane Wades. Marquette wouldn't survive.

Dwyane Wade came from a fully accredited high school.

He was a Prop 48, but he still came from a fully accredited high school.  Some of these prep schools are fine, some of them are screaming for WTF are we thinking.  We can do better.

+1 ... Oak Lawn Richards is a good high school w/ a diverse student population -- probably a godsend for the kids from Robbins, like Wade, who are (or were?) zoned to go there

ESPN and 247Sports have had a Marquette offer to Legend Robertin for the last couple months, even before Wojo was the coach. I don't think this is new.

So you'd prefer a kid who can't qualify after 4 years at a good high school over a kid who does qualify in spite of having to go to an inferior one? At best that smacks of elitism.

It would be great to have another "big."  Sign him Coach.

It's interesting to note that we are hearing about more and more "bigs" since Buzz left.  Buzz had trouble finding players above 6"7".

I prefer a kid comes from a quality school, not one where the school is a sham.  It begs the question why one would go to a sham school after high school?  Remember, not all prep schools are shams, there are some that clearly are.  I would also go back and look at the requirements for Prop 48 in 2001, that will shed some additional light on your rhetorical question.

If that is elitist, then that's what it is.

Yep. Enrolled at Chipola like I said a while ago. I'm starting to think I need less distracting gifs so people actually read what I say...
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Actually, Buzz found this one.  He offered Legend in December of 2013.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

As Jake Barnes pointed out, Legend has enrolled at Chipola junior college. Buzz recruited him before he left. Wojo may be pursuing him still, I don't know.

Bottom line, Legend's grades were not good enough to get him into a D1 school. That's why so a 4 star 7 footer didn't have that many quality offers. Expect him to get a lot more offers next year when he can start using his grades from JUCO instead of his grades from his "prep school."

I'd prefer a kid that doesn't attend a house to receive fake grades to cover up his awful ACT score. Is that too much to ask? It's not elitism, it's skirting the rules. Before I lost interest, all they showed were guys playing video games, working out and reading the bible. My goodness, the importance placed on sports is completely out of hand.

Minus the whole sham that this school is, I always been intrigued about a boarding school based around fitness and focusing on improving academics. Too many players from where I'm from got caught up with bad influences at home and wasted talent. It is a cool idea to have guys with common goals try everything to obtain them.

Pretty sure he was out of the picture once Wojo took over, but for what its worth he's heading to Clemson. Should be a nice player for them

Another example of the disconnect between Buzz and the administration?  I'm guessing yes.  Crean visited September 23rd.  I guess even being at Indiana isn't a guarantee of quality big men.
