I have a strange feeling that this is not happening.     This will be another Iman Shumpert situation where we all though Shumpert was in the bag, than he picked up a Georgia Tech hat on WGN and Crean bolted.

Are you calling Ron Paul a liar?

Unless there is a change of heart, Ellenson is coming to MU, again very reliable source, who is very good friends with MM.

This is the sort of carrot dangling that makes me nervous and giddy.  Does this source have a timeframe or something?
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

If being an MU fan for any length of time teaches you anything, it is to never assume a recruit is coming based on message board sources.    I will believe the two featured are coming when it is announced by a reliable source.   
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

You are very wise. While it may look very positive, we've been down this road too many times.

Exactly, even a reliable source does not mean a player can be blown away visiting another school.  Kids change there mind all the time.  Until the signing date, Wojo has to be on top of
these kids everyday to keep them happy and together.  I am sure Nick will be here when Cheatham visits, they are friends.  Chances are good for both potential recruits.  100% no, not
even Heldt or Nick are that.  But my source is a good one.

If you follow the 247 crystal ball, both Ellenson and Cheatham are on their way to MU.

Would love to see that happen.

Getting a top ten guy would separate it from those classes for me.

Mr. Bernstein nailed it. This hasn't happened since Al.

Welcome back, Groin!

Thanks. Good to be back. I took some time off and now I'm going to remain calm and avoid any pissing matches.

At least that's the plan.

That is not true. Doc Rivers was top 10 and Raymonds brought in several highly rated recruits, besides Rivers.

Well, arguable about Doc but Street & Smith did have him quite high. I think you are referring to Hank bringing in Johnson & Johnson. Both were extremely well regarded but I don't think either was Top 10.  If I am wrong then I defer to your better intel.

Problem with Hank was inconsistency.

Yes. I believe Rivers was MU's last legit top 10 recruit. I think Trotter was top 20.

Street & Smith pre-season rankings: in '80, Doc was 1st team and in '81, Duane Johnson was 2nd team, Walter Downing 5th team and Mandy Johnson was 6th team.

Not calling you out, because I think you are right that Sharma is going to be a Vadger, but I always wonder how recruits feel seeing adults who have never met them tell other people where they are going to go to school. If I was a recruit, I would troll the hell out of scoopers

I wouldn't say it if I didn't have a very good source saying it was going to happen.

For what it's worth, Corey Evans said he changed his pick to Marquette because he thought it was pretty much down to Marquette and Cal.

Oh don't worry. Henry will be playing at Marquette. And Shaka will do a hell of a job coaching him up!

What do you guys think of Wally Ellenson?  What was he ranked coming out of high school?

3 star on Scout. I don't think he was ranked in the Top 100. He has good size for a SG at 6'5. It appears he had some tough luck at Minnesota with an early injury and then playing for a coach that didn't recruit him. I'm hopeful he can be a good role player.

Worst case scenario is he doesn't pan out on the basketball court and he gives our track program a lot of good publicity. Obviously Henry being his brother makes him an attractive prospect, but I think Wally will be solid contributor in his own right.

The kid has hops like no one I've ever seen. Had th athleticism, just needs to work in the fundamentals. I'm confident that Wojo will turn him into not only a quality role player, but a guy who is challenging for a starters spot.

Safe to say Henry would be the biggest recruit since Doc.
