Are you up Michigan way, Army?

[muarmy81]

Are you up Michigan way, Army?

Nope...I'm actually in TX but saw it come up on my twitter feed...

speaking of which,
I guess Wojo and Coach Nelson visited him this week:

Thanks to @steve_wojo and @Coachbnelson from @MarquetteMBB for visiting @ike_eke at U of D Jesuit this afternoon! #AMDG

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

This kid is scary.

[Herman Cain]

We need to make an all out push for Ike. He is exactly what we want. This  6-9 220 pogo stick type kid.

If a 6'9" pogo stick is what you're looking for, Jericho Sims from MN will do the trick

I agree and noted  before that I was very bullish on him .

It might be that I am a fan of Christo Rey schools...but I have a good feeling about this kid. I think he ends up in Blue and Gold

[Dawson Rental]

I'm not sure how we get Ike away from Michigan State and Michigan.  I hope Wojo makes an impression.

[MuMark]

I'm not sure how we get Ike away from Michigan State and Michigan.  I hope Wojo makes an impression.

Maybe because neither have offered?

[We R Final Four]

Well, that's one way.

there's always the new building and don't forget about our weather-eyn'er?

[tower912]

Izzo spent a whole bunch of time landing Ike Eke's teammate, Cassius Winston, but hasn't offered IE yet.

Have we made an offer yet to Jericho?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Have we made an offer yet to Jericho?

Jericho says we have.

[GGGG]

Jericho is a terrible defender. Looks like a brick wall but it usually falls apart in the end. Especially when guarding guys named Joshua.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Haha.

Posted this in the recruiting thread but then found this one. Mark Miller predicted 6'9 2017 PF Ike Eke to MU.

I mean, in general I agree it's a pretty worthless tool. But Mark is pretty connected to MU recruiting.

[Jay Bee]

Yes. If Mark says something to someone, I'm interested. If he clicks a button on 247sports.com for entertainment, I'm not.

The cristal bowel is a little marketing game for the website.

For people like Mark, participating dilutes their respect from some but increases their following by the masses, IMO.

(Not personal comment on him.. just an example and in general.. and I guarantee there are those who would confirm.)

[Stretchdeltsig]

Mark predicts Ted Kalif Young to Marquette too.  Hope he is correct.

[HoopsterBC]

Well if you believe Mark Miller and the Crystal Ball, MU recruiting for 2017 might be over.  French, Ike, and Theo John all to MU.  Three front court players for sure,
I assume John starts as a freshman at center or Heldt, and if Young does not make it her Ike or French would start at the the 4.  Then Carter, Rowsey or Howard
at the point, DWilson or Cheatham at the 2 and Hauser or Cheatham at the small forward.  Cohen outside playing time somewhere.

Young team the following year.

[Herman Cain]

I like Ike.

[Golden Avalanche]

Can you break down his game for us?

John is a 6'8" power forward.  I'm pretty sure Heldt will be a two year starter at center.

[Jay Bee]

Careful with 'positions'.

More importantly, John is an interior guy, both O and D

Yeah I should know better.

I could easily see Young getting developed as a center at MU, so even with Young on board, Ike or French could start at the 4.  Their biggest obstacle to starting could be the four guard lineup option.

Exactly. I doubt Mark Miller believes the crystal ball (his own picks). He's playing a fun lil game.

Is his knowledge valuable? His insights meaningful? ABSOLUTELY. But his cristal bowel picks? No.

A 6-9 powerful body pogo stick dunking machine.  We need someone with these skills on the roster.  The kind of kid that Xavier recruits frequently.

A big who can dunk. Damn. Sounds super skillful.

[Herman Cain]

We need a couple of  those to compete with the type of teams we play in our conference. Michigan State has a never ending stockpile of these type of players.

[Herman Cain]

His nickname will be " The General"

Probably should just have 4 or 5 of those guys on the roster at all times, yeah?

I enjoy your love for Marquette basketball but you really don't actually understand a lot about [college] basketball, do you?

[GB Warrior]

I can't wait for "Pogo Stick" to match up against "switchables" in this year's meme tourney

Ideally two would be best. Xavier has done well following this philosophy and obviously Wojo thinks it is a good idea or he would not have offered Ike  and some of the other bigs he is recruiting.

Detroit Jesuit won the Class A state title in Michigan. That is the real deal. Who do you think Cassius Winston was passing to?

Also my contacts have told me Ike is a very high quality young man.

Unwritten package deal?

Can he rebound. Can he JUMP!

Yes and he can get the hard ones too.
