Thanks for the schedule.  Appreciate the great recruiting reports.

[TedBaxter]

Xavier Tillman and Spiece are playing at home in Ft. Wayne in the GRBA Nationals

[MuMark]

Prentiss Hubb?

[Herman Cain]

Will Terrence Lewis play in this event?

[Jay Bee]

Will Terrence Lewis play in this event?

I believe WI PGE is in Florida this week.

In Vegas, there are a number of good events all this week. Makes for a difficult time planning/scheduling for someone like me.. especially when once you get into Friday for some, and Saturday for sure for all, you're into bracket play.. times of games are dictated by how you've done up til then and how you do after... lots of driving!

[wadesworld]

BeeJay, I would assume that there are a few other kids on Joey Hauser's team that are getting some looks from colleges, and I believe I remember hearing that one of his teammates may be committed to Iowa already?  Any idea of who is getting offers on that team?  I liked the point guard (#4) but he seemed more low major, maybe mid major to me.  They had a couple big boys down low but not sure any were HM worthy.  They had a nice energy guy who could play the 3/4 but he is undersized to be either of those in college I would think, and didn't seem to have guard skills.  Seemed like maybe their better wing might've been the 2nd best player beyond Hauser?  Not sure.

Yeah, Joe Wieskamp is a 6'6" wing.. probably who you're thinking of. Nice player, committed to Iowa.

AJ Green is the point guard... obviously looks very young, but kid can play. Wonder how tall he'll get. MM interest at this point.. kind of kid that could go to a UNI or Dakota school and have a very strong career.

[Freeport Warrior]

I would think Deontae Long is playing wit his 15U Young Legends/Spartans team as they are better than the 16U. The 16U YL are horrible - they were something like 0-15 at some point in the Under Armour league. Diamond Stone's dad was "coaching" and they are brutal.

Only others thing I would note is to be sure to check out Nobal Days 15U Butler Elite team at the Adidas. They added two players from Ray Allen for the tourney, including the #1 rated WI kid, 6' 4" Marcus Damask from Waupun.

The point guard you guys were talking about from Barnstormers is AJ Green, I think he is starting to get more interest and some low offers. Wieskamp is the other kid on the team who is the Iowa recruit.

Yeah I would too, but looking at the Fab 48 pools.. I see the Young Legends 17's and 16's there... but don't see the 15's.. perhaps they're elsewhere... or I just missed it.

[MuMark]

I believe AJ Green is the son of former MU assistant Kyle Green

Gotcha, thanks.  I liked Green's game a lot, but even moreso than his height is he's a pretty slight build and not incredibly athletic.  Solid floor general though.

[Freeport Warrior]

15s are in NY2LA

[Jay Bee]

MU was at, among others....

Expressions Elite - Lawrence
NY Rens - Nwora
Iowa Barnstormers 16's - Joey

Very glad to see we are pursuing Nwora with vigor.

BeeJay, I'm bored as phook at work today.  Gimme your free version of what you're seeing out there in Las Vegas, hey?

[JakeBarnes]

I would second that.

[Jay Bee]

That costs too much!

Circus Circus is a circus

At Butler Elite 15's now watching Nobal Days. 6'6" 2019 from Waupun Marcus Domask has been excellent. Smart player, makes the right pass. Attacks off dribble, can shoot from outside, competing on boards.

Days hasn't done much offensively, but has gotte his blocks. His size & ball handling at this point -- as a somewhat younger 15 -- and the possibilities are intriguing. Has a ways to go.

Say hi to Stan. Sounds like he just arrived.

[4everwarriors]

Den at least post some pics of da escort, hey?

[Herman Cain]

I agree with this analysis.

[Jay Bee]

Race's D1 MN16 teammate 2018 Jarvis Thomas - I'm a believer

Theo John was banged up good. Ankle injury was bad, wrist hurt, busted lip, still played & competed. Still go back to the Faisal comp. well put together kid (nh).

WI United, DC Premier, NY Rens on deck

Jets Ramey 16s late afternoon

[DienerTime34]

Do we have any shot to land any Top 100 players in the next two classes?

[Jay Bee]

In gym w/him now. WI United v We-R1 17's at Fab 48

[HoopsterBC]

If they do not, it will show on the court!  Or shows that Wojo can not recruit.  That should get MU82 going.

[HoopsterBC]

In gym w/him now. WI United v We-R1 17's at Fab 48

Well, you can ask him one question since he can not talk about individual, ask him how does it look for 2017 recruiting?  Hope he gives you a big smile.

[forgetful]

Do we have any shot to land any Top 100 players in the next two classes?

Well Terrance Lewis in 2017 is a top 100 guy.  And I think most believe we are in the lead on him.

For 2018, we are in the lead or near lead on:
Joey Hauser
Tyler Herro

So, I'll go with yes.

And we have a shot at Xavier Tillman for 2016. Consensus top 100. And Theo John, who is 90-115 most places.

[4everwarriors]

Ax Stan watt his crypted message was all 'bout, BeeJay, hey?

[JakeBarnes]

Ax Stan watt his crypted message was all 'bout, BeeJay, hey?

Also ask him about who is signing soon and what his favorite pizza place is. We need something to develop on this board.

[wadesworld]

What school's shirt is he wearing?

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

What is his opinion about the other Assistant Coaches whom Wojo favors in his facebook posts

What is the preferred method for the coaches to push someone under the bus

Why don't you recruit the sons & brothers of NBA players more aggressively

Touche - let me amend by adding 'current' in front of NBA players

Ax Stan watt his crypted message was all 'bout, BeeJay, hey?

Just texted JB for you to get a special update. 

[Jay Bee]

So when I ax'd Stan how he thought we'd do in today's TBT I thought I'd get a "oh hopefully pretty well."

Now I'm a 50% player in a $1,000 bet for us to win

Leggggo MU

Prentice Hubb of DC Premier - just an '18... took a backseat role much of the game & not a great one, but I totally get it. Really like him - scoring & most certainly passing.

Nwora & the Rens got gobbled up early by Indy Hoosiers & Paul Scruggs (!!). Nwora you'll see listed at 6'8", but I think he's a 3 in college.

Gonna throw back a couple & watch the first half of MU.. then heading out to see Torrence & Courtney with the Ramey 16's, followed by Tyler & the WI PGW 16's

Saw one of wesley's buddies last week, said Wes was really excited to coach and was actually talking to former coaches in the Madison area about what offense to run, who to play together, etc.

Days hasn't done much offensively, but has gotte his blocks. His size & ball handling at this point -- as a somewhat younger 15 -- and the possibilities are intriguing. Has a ways to go.

Days has started the last 3 (of 7) games for Tulane. Looow usage so far 11.7% - with an ORtg of 101.9. DR% only 12%, but a nice 10% OR%. Turnover city (22.6%), solid block rate (4.3%). Hasn't been able to draw fouls. We'll see how he progresses.

Marcus Domask, who went to Southern Illinois after the N'n KY coach left, has been excellent. Immediate starter. Last game 21p, 5r, 5a, 1b, 1s, 0 turnovers. 116.9 ORtg with a 21.9% usage. 12.6% on the DRebs; 57.5% eFG%. Assist rate of 22.8%, turnovers only at 13.0%. 2.0% blk, 1.8% stl, getting to the line plenty. Really nice player.
