Marquette offers 2015 PG Traci Carter

[jesmu84]

Said player is pretty homesick. That should be be enough info to fill in the blanks based on the demographic of our roster. Again, not saying things wont change but as of this moment, thats where the situation is at.

Well, that's unfortunate. Allegedly, he lost his 2 close friends, so, can't say I'm surprised. But still sucks.

But JJJ just tweeted he loves being at Marquette

[Jables1604]

I blame Ners for messing with his head.

[brandx]

Four McDonalds All-Americans, including the best center in the nation for three years and perhaps the best guard in the country for two seasons ... and LSU won 2 NCAA tournament games from 1989-92.

Now THAT'S some impressive underachieving.

Dale couldn't coach a lick, but he was a heckuva salesman/hustler.

I heard he made some comment about being at a Private School.  Oh well.  Or is Cohen transferring to UWGB?

If there's one thing you should learn from scoop...it is to not trust "sources"

[muhoops1]

Maybe JaJuan informed Wojo at half that he's leaving.  Not on the floor yet.....

[AirPunches]

Would anyone other than maybe Grambling want JJJ?

[Stretchdeltsig]

JJ is just so inconsistent.  You never know when he's going to play well.

[muhoops1]

We're just so bad...

[willie warrior]

has Carter arrived yet, and can we get him in some games this year?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

JjJ could do very well at a Tennessee Tech, East Tennessee State, UT Martin, etc. I also wouldn't be surprised if a team like Memphis, Ole Miss, or Vandy take a flier on him. He's got the athletic ability, he just doesn't have the fundamentals. In theory, those can be taught.

I also don't believe that JjJ is for sure gone. He was for sure gone last season and Wojo still brought him back.

Memphis, Vandy, Ole Miss will have zero interest. He needs to find a home at a low- or mid-major. No one in the Power 5 will want him.

Might be true, but I doubt you're right. Jajuan has elite level speed and that will appeal to some. Not any top teams, but some of the not so good Power 5 teams will at least check him out. His numbers aren't as bad as everyone on here thinks they are.

That's before he saw him play this season.

I think our returning players all have interesting decisions.  Both Luke and Duane will see themselves correctly as starters.  Both are local kids with upsides on a Big East team that will be better next year.  Steve will be a Senior and on track to graduate.  I'd be shocked if he left when he didn't last year.  Sandy saw way more opportunity than most Freshmen typically see and showed he has the ability to contribute and can expect to continue to do that going forward. 

JjJ has the most interesting decision.  Seemingly somewhat over matched at the high D-1 level, I'd think he'd view the incoming recruiting class as a genuine threat to his playing time.  Does he go the route of a Jamail Jones or Jamal Ferguson?  Would a Murray State be interested?  Surely a UT-Martin would be.  Only he can decide if that's his next move.  And if he does I absolutely wish him well.

Look, I want all our kids to be successful and happy.  I give great credit to JjJ for listening to his coach and fighting hard for his team this year.  He could have bailed at Christmas but didn't, probably in everyone's best interest.  But I wonder if a change of scenery might do him good now.  Only he and his family can decide that.

it wouldn't be marquette if we didn't have an off-season transfer

Death. Taxes. And MU transfers.

[GooooMarquette]

it wouldn't be marquette D-1 college hoops if we didn't have an off-season transfer

FIFY

I'd be sad to see JJJ leave.  I feel he would be better served with more talent around him (being more of a complimentary piece rather than a go-to guy).  Let's face it, this year's team was severely lacking with ready, D-1 talent.  With the incoming players next year, including some hopeful graduate transfer(s), there should be more talent filling out the roster - allowing him to better showcase his athletic ability and improved basketball skills.  Duane and Luke will be better, Cohen will improve, Taylor will finally play his position.  He will be one of the leaders on the team.

I hope he stays, works hard this summer, and becomes a regular contributor next season.

[connie]

Love this cryptic stuff. Makes life interesting.

OK ... I'll start ... I can't believe we're losing Mache!

(Don't know which one; take your pick.)

I bet Juan.  Didn't we go through this already?

Do you really believe that JJJ thinks he is somewhat over matched at this level? I don't think he feels that way. He has had an up and down year, but he still attacks the basket confidently, so it doesn't appear he feels he is overmatched, and he has had some 20 point games.
And what about the incoming class should make him feel threatened? He was more highly rated than those (except Ellenson). If JJJ should feel that way, then that same logic would hold for Sandy.
Do agree that he and his family must decide, especially if he feels he is not close enough to family and friends. Whatever he does, good luck to him.

[Lighthouse 84]

I know it's JjJ's decision, but he should get major time next year to play and prove he's ready for a major role on this team. Does he really want to sit a year and then play for a mid major team or maybe a high major that isn't on TV as much as a Big East team?  

I see a lot of upside in JjJ staying, both for him and the program, especially if he can hit the weight room and take 1,000 shots a day over the summer. If he can improve like Vander did from Sophomore year to Junior year, as the great and powerful Ners said he could, he'd be a great keep.

[Lighthouse 84]

Juan is a senior.  Unless he's going the Otule route, I think he's leaving.

[Litehouse]

He flipped.

Not just that... Meyer flipped his Carter prediction from UConn to MU, but Meyer and 2 others also just picked a different 2015 PG, Nych Smith, to UConn.
