The Stevens Point connections/familiarity give UVA a nice selling point. Plus, TB is one of the nicest guys around and as far as coaching he is stern but fair. He has his father's Xs and Os, but has a much sunnier disposition that players seem to like. The other side of this to me is Paul Jesperson -- he was a very highly rated 6' 6" shooter/wing from Merrill, WI who got a ride to UVA. I don't think TB recruited him, but he did coach him. He was almost identical to Hauser (size, athleticism), and it didn't work out. I think Jesperson was one of the top 3 recruits in WI (could have been #1) in like 2011. Jesperson transferred and now plays/played at Northern Iowa. I never saw Jesperson play in HS, but just by looking at him back then, he looked much weaker (almost fragile?) than Hauser (and Hauser doesn't look that strong at this point either). But he was a wissports top prospect. It seems like TB is making him a priority, so it may not matter, but I'm sure they are aware that very recently a 6' 6" shooter/wing from WI went there and ended up transferring under Bennett.

Bennett did recruit Jesperson. He has been at UVa since 2009, and Jesperson arrived there in 2011. The connection was Brad Soderburg's brother is the head coach at Merrill.

I'd say Hauser is more athletic and better off the dribble. Granted I'm comparing them off of my limited viewing of them at the State tourney. But Hauser jumped out at me more than Jesperson did. By that I mean I saw more tools in Hauser that should translate to the high major level.

I've seen Hauser play a ton, but I never saw Jesperson. Perhaps his high ranking was due to a weaker recruiting class. I tried to look back in the archives of Wisports player ranking and it only goes back to 2012/13, but holy crap did that class have the D1 players, looks to be 15 guys. Jesperson's brothers was #15 to Pepperdine, btw.

Mr. Basketball that year in Wisconsin was Nimrod Hilliard...if that tells you anything.

I thought of Jesperson as a shooter. Hauser is a lot more. Similar "look" to them, but Hauser is a lot better, more athletic, more versatile, etc.

That is exactly what I thought, but I never saw Jesperson actually play. Going to watch the 15U feature game tonight, WI Playground vs. Howard Pulley Black (MN). We may eventually play the loser down the road in the bracket. What do you know about Howard Pulley 15U Black, Jay Bee? Is Sage Booker on that team?

Not a lot, but yes Booker is on that team. Traditional Ryan Larson from up north can fill it up. Big 6'6" Daniel Oturo from Cretin-Derham Hall is another to watch. Coffey teammate (Hopkins) DeLawrence Aaron can play too.

More self-hatred from MU fans.

Seriously I have been to both places. Charlottesville is nice. But some people prefer the urban environment. And Marquette gives you a very nice education to succeed in society today. He should go where he is most comfortable.

Guy, I have zero self-hatred. I know this area has become your raison d'etre these last few months but I didn't write one negative word about Marquette University or its basketball program.

IIRC, I had a disagreement with Chick and others over Nimrod Hilliard's name when the possibility of him transferring came up or something. I think that Chick even had a hoodie from his High School because the Glows used to vacation near there. I thought that "Nimrod" was an unfortunate name due to the connotation that "Nimrod" now has. Others pointed out the origin of the name Nimrod in the Bible as "a great hunter" or some such.

Long story short, I think this guy is real.

Four schools in four years (1 JUCO) with no sitting out as a transfer red shirt. I've got to think that he has a brilliant law career ahead of him, if he so chooses.

TedBaxter · « **Reply #216 on:** May 16, 2015, 12:30:54 AM »

Former MU guard Jamal Ferguson was one of Hilliard's teammates this year and scored 22 points in the conference season. Ferguson was an outstanding prospect as a sophomore in high school and has never seemed to improve.

Yes, but do you know if the Hypobaric chamber caused Crean's numbnuts, or did Crean's numbnuts cause the Hypobaric chamber?

I watched a lot of Nimrod at the 17U level (pause). He was a fun player to watch - very good low to MM guard.

They had a non-traditional big, who looked to be about 6' 7" who just destroyed every big on Playground Warriors including Jack Plumb. I believe it was Oturo. PG Warriors have 7' 0" freshman from Apple Valley who made Rod Gross (old school reference) look coordinated. Oturo just abused him. Howard Pulley had them by 7 with a minute left. After 4 offensive rebounds on the last possession, Jordan McCabe hit a fade away three in the corner to win by 1.

Rod Grosse, the biggest disappointment I ever experienced in terms of an over hyped recruit. I do wonder whether it would have been different if he had the opportunity to play for the guy who recruited him, Majerus, instead of Dukiet. Oi Vey!

Sounds like a decent game to go along with some solid talent. Even though I'm not all that concerned with who wins or loses a travel team game when I'm evaluating certain individual players, it sure makes it more enjoyable when it's a close, hard-fought game.

Sounds like Oturo. His high school has produced numerous star-athletes in various sports and sends many kids to Marquette. Here's a pic of him:
