Traci Carter is still out there. He is a high level talent at point guard. An injury set him back so he's the classic late bloomer type. I'm not optimistic we'll get him, but he would be a huge late get. Anim is another talent. Smart player, great at driving and defense, and the one weakness, his shot from range, seems to be improving. I do think he'll commit to Marquette, possibly as soon as next week.

But for instant impact, it has to be JUCO or grad transfers. Dequon Miller and Travis Outlaw are two guys Marquette has shown interest in that could make an immediate impact. Then there will always be transfers.

You can go negative nellie if you prefer, but there are a lot of good unsigned players out there. While the freshman crop isn't what it was, the job of the staff is to find talent wherever it may be. Will they be as good as Buzz at landing late studs? We'll see, but don't forget Jimmy Butler, Jae Crowder, Davante Gardner, Trent Lockett, and Matt Carlino were all added at this point or later in the recruiting cycle. Certainly not time to panic just yet.

We're back to 3!  And I'd like to give props to Brew.  What he wrote 10 days back is spot on.  If our 4 schollys wind up being the 4 exact guys he mentioned......

Wojo hasn't signed anyone new yet? What sort of crock is this?
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Huh?  He signed Anim.  And the last sentence begins with the word IF.  I'm simply saying that Brew had a pretty good picture on things at the beginning of the month.  Have a nice day.

Sorry, that should have been in teal.

Traci Carter looks like a nice prospect, we actually have a fair chance of landing him, with our staff of guards
and being in the BIGE He said he wants to play right away, hand him the keys and let him grow.

I have to believe he's Wojo's top target now.  Then add a wide body rebound magnet that plays just like Jae did as a Junior and we'll be formidable.

Wojo and staff are searching high and low for a PG, or even 2 PGs. Traci Carter is the top player in that search

Thanks, js! Will be interesting to see what happens with these last scholarships. Carter does seem to be the top target, but probably won't decide for another month or more if he takes all his visits. If we get Carter, we have two scholarships left.

Will Wojo opt to pursue any more high school kids? Dillard and LoVett seem to be out. Would Wojo still go after a scorer like O'Field or Outlaw, or perhaps renew interest in Tyson Jolly? I always got the sense Jolly was out after Anim committed.

I still think a PG (even if we get Carter) and rebounder would be the biggest needs. The problem is if we don't make a serious run at JUCOs sooner rather than later, we'll miss out on the best ones (many are already gone) and have to rely on grad transfers for immediate impact. Hoping to get even 1 grad transfer that can play at the level of a Carlino or Lockett is asking a lot, hoping for 2 seems like you may as well ask for the moon.

Coach K probably told Wojo which ones will be moving on

Interesting comments by onepost that Wojo seemingly hoping to avoid Juco route.  So if he gets Traci maybe he'll fill out with a traditional transfer and a grad if he can find one. Personally I'd still like a rebounding big for one of the last two slots.

I can't keep up.  Is it 3? 4?  Perhaps 8 because 5 HS kids have signed LOIs. 

Oh yeah, they can leave too if they choose. 

WTF.    >:(

Right now he may be our best choice. However, keep in mind that Cohen was ranked higher than Haanif currently is, so we should not expect to much out of him as a freshmen.

I would pretty much guarantee Haanif played against much better competition in high school than Sandy Cohen.

First, I think the 'ranked higher than HC currently is' is false.

Second, based on the type of players they are and tendencies, Haanif is further along in terms of ready-to-contributability (new word).

Player X is ranked higher than Player Y on site Z. Therefore, we can't expect anything different or better out of Player Y is flawed thinking.

After watching a few games in the tournament, it's obvious that we need to load up with players.  Let each year play out.  Recruit to the maximum with plenty of bigs and shooters.

As I posted in another thread--the way things are going, we need an atomic calculator to keep track of the schollies. The guy who does the Scholarship table can't even keep up.
