Zero, still worth recruiting grimes

Why would we get grimes if we don't have any scholies. No way he would go to MU

a lot can happen in 12 months

Believe me, if Grimes wants to come to MU a scholarship will be made available.

Because statistically speaking someone is going to transfer allowing for an opening and a talent like him is worth going after simply because he shows interest. You just don't say no to players of his caliber

We 13 available scholarships for 2018-19

Could be wrong but my guess is that Grimes will be waiting until Spring to make a verbal commitment. I expect that Wojo and Co will keep in pretty close but probably more quiet contact throughout his senior year and if someone does indeed transfer, go pro, or decommit, he will be offered a scholarship on the spot.

Buzz:  "Never stop recruiting."

Somewhere around 40% of college basketball players transfer.     For the sake of argument, at Marquette,  when is the last season that no one left the team for reasons other than graduation?

I doubt it'll even be quiet contact, and if he wants to commit now I'd be shocked if we didn't take him.

Could always give someone da "Wojo heave ho," ai na?

The accepted nomenclature is "Poleaxed"

Are we really even in on Grimes.  Hard to think we can beat Kansas, Kentucky and/or Texas for him and we don't have a schollie.

How are the PG's looking in 2019?

Top option seems to be Rocket Watts. Top 75 per 247composite and plays AAU with The Family. Same team as the Motown Trio (Cain, Eke, and Elliott).

Amen.  And with Joey's commit, maybe Grimes has another reason to consider MU.  If we are Lucky to get him, I think one of the 4 freshmen gets a colored shirt their 2nd year.

[GooooMarquette]

Every kid wants to play, and inevitably someone who thought he deserved more playing time will transfer.  Maybe the kid wasn't as good as advertised...maybe he didn't improve as much as the players around him...maybe injuries slowed his progress so others passed him by...maybe he just didn't buy into the system. Whatever the causes, it happens all the time at the high-major level.

If a 5-star PG wants to come to MU, there will be room...and it doesn't necessarily mean Wojo will have to "cut" anyone.

Might get a sophomore year redshirt, but someone would have to get a pink slip to have room for Grimes. A transfer or two is never a surprise in this day and age, but I think it's more likely a scholarship for Grimes would come from someone who plays this year, but maybe not as much as they hope.

sorry for the stupid question, but if someone red-shirts does that open up the scholarship?

No.

Redshirts only benefits the individual's scholarship maximum (i.e. extra year of eligibility = extra year of scholarship), not the school's maximum.

This is another 1 to keep an eye on

Thank You.

That wouldn't free a scholarship if that is what you're implying

It wouldn't be the first time marquette has cut someone.
