Well, if it results in 5 NCAA bids, two Sweet 16s, an Elite 8, A Big East title, back to back 14-4 conference records in his first six seasons I'll "enjoy" Wojo's recruiting equally. If he does better, I'll enjoy it more. Funny that you don't want to see the results - odd from a "five year guy", but not surprising for someone who is agenda driven rather than results driven on all issues great or small.
And Willie, somebody has to point out the facts. I know they're more stubborn than living in the phony lonesome cowboy bumper sticker world, but they are facts.

Wojo continues to lay waste to the competition on the recruiting trail!

Welcome Sam and family to Marquette! Can't wait to see you play!

Awesome news! Welcome aboard Sam!

The day gets better and better. Now, if we can just get a big who is a rebounding stud...

I enjoyed the hell out of S16-S16-E8.
Those who now say they didn't either are liars or non-fans.
All that being said ...
Thrilled with what Wojo has done on the recruiting trail and looking forward to the rebirth of Marquette hoops!

Welcome Sam. Enjoy your Senior year!

I enjoyed it as well, despite some of the nonsense that was going on behind the scenes. Of course, the fatal flaw in this argument that people are making is that all of Buzz's players were athletes first, which is not the case. Jimmy Butler was a helluva a basketball player first, with offers from Kentucky, etc. Some of the other kids on MU were also outstanding basketball players who were also good athletes. Having said that, we also had our share of really good athletes where basketball was secondary. I'd prefer it the other way around. I also look forward to our graduation rates improving.....which a number of people enamored with Buzz didn't seem to care much about. Just win baby.

Exactly. Agree on all counts. Go get em, Wojo.
Screw the liars and the faux fans.

Yup
So....
Alot of recruits are great players and not great students. And some are great students but can't play a lick.
But in both cases they get better once they come and get acclimated to a certain University.
But as a fan what does being a "good student" really have to do with you or me or basketball? It's what you want for sure, and it is a great standard to set, but can they help you win BIG?
Most kids who are the "best players" or the top recruits do not come to be "good students" but "Good Pro's." And there is nothing wrong wtih that either...it enhances the Universities portfolio as well if not more so...in many respects.
And there are some colleges if not many that don't even care if the recruit is a good student or not as they [coaches and administrations] profit from them being there in "other ways."
I myself applaud the recruits either way. Welcome Sam! He will have to get stronger...hope he has a healthy and productive senior year.

Wojciechowski joined the Hauser family for a cookout that included a number of brats and some beverages that Milwaukee has been known for.
The Golden Eagles coaching staff then unveiled a booklet that mapped out Hauser's entire Marquette career should he opt to sign with Marquette. One of the first pages in the binder was a front page of a newspaper with the headline, "Hauser commits to Marquette."
On Sunday night, those words proved prophetic as Hauser announced on his Twitter account that he had indeed committed to Marquette University after an official visit to the campus over the weekend.
"It was the right time, I knew it was the right place for me," said Hauser, who had hinted at a summer decision in regard to his college destination. "Right from the beginning, Marquette was the first to offer me a scholarship.
"He believed in me and it's nice to know a coach believes in you. I believe in him that he can develop me into the type of player I want to become."
Also:
"They think I have a bright future and I'm a unique player who can be really, really good and maybe play beyond college," Hauser said. "That's something I want but I know I have to work really hard."

It's the whole package. APR rates are important, or you can be prevented from participating in the post season like UCONN did a few years ago. Thus, getting good players who are also good students who will graduate is a good thing for the program and the university.
-
Welcome to the MU Family, Sam!
Many will be watching you have a great senior season!
-
There was always the fear that this year's incoming class was a fluke. That somehow Wojo got lucky.
The Hauser commitment is huge. Shows Marquette is playing in the big leagues. That Wojo is for real on the recruiting trail.
Nice get .. now what's next?
-
Welcome 2 Warrior Nation Sam!!!! What an amazing weekend for the program, things are looking UP for MU!
-
Hauser visits Virginia, a wonderful university with a pretty campus in a mostly good-weather locale. Virginia is coached by a proven winner and has been on outstanding team for several years with legit Final Four aspirations. One weekend later, he visits Marquette and commits to Wojo.
Ellenson visits Marquette and commits to Wojo, canceling his visit to Kentucky, the No. 1 college program in the nation the last few years.
Moral of the story: We all should stop trying to read into the order of a recruit's visits.
-
Welcome home Sam!
-
Golden Avalanche and Boone think Sam made a bad decision. Pity.
-
This is great news for MU, Sam we can't wait to see you play for Warrior nation.
Rowsey looks like he can really shoot, another great pick up. Wojo is doing a fantastic job.

A chance to stay close to your family and have a shot at major minutes on a team that gets national exposure is a powerful draw.
-
Great job by Wojo. The guy can most definitely recruit. Things are looking up.
-
I also know that due to the actual or perceived snub by UW that SAm has a huge chip on his shoulder and is highly motivated to show them they were wrong for ignoring him!
-
Golden Avalanche and Boone think Sam made a bad decision. Pity.
Haha. For an old man, you sure do spend a lot of time in an internet forum creating false realities. If only your family got half the effort you spend here.
More importantly, Hauser is a great addition to the program. Good job by Wojo.

I see we even made NBC News Online.
In-state small forward becomes Marquette’s first 2016 commitment
http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/17/in-state-small-forward-becomes-marquettes-first-2016-commitment/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs
Sunday proved to be a good one on the recruiting front for the Marquette program. Hours after former UNC Asheville guard Andrew Rowsey announced that he was transferring to the Big East program, 2016 small forward Sam Hauser announced on Twitter that he’s decided to remain in his home state.
Proud to say I am committing to Marquette University! Can't wait to be be a Golden Eagle and be apart of the MUBB family!
— Sam Hauser (@Big_Smooth10) May 17, 2015
The 6-foot-6 Hauser, who hails from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, picked Marquette after officially visiting the school this weekend. The commitment comes one week after he officially visited Virginia, and he also held offers from programs such as Creighton, Iowa State and Richmond.
“Sam Hauser has a tremendous skill level for a forward and is a great in-state addition for Marquette,” NBC Sports recruiting insider Scott Phillips said. “He shoots the ball well and has a high basketball IQ for a player of his class and position.”
Hauser will join a program that will not have a senior on its roster in year two of the Steve Wojciechowski era in 2015-16. Among those who Hauser will compete with for opportunities upon his arrival in Milwaukee are Minnesota transfer Wally Ellenson, who will be a redshirt junior in 2015-16, and rising sophomore Sandy Cohen III.
This summer Marquette adds one of the nation’s top recruiting classes, a quintet led by five-star forward Henry Ellenson (Wally’s little brother). Another note regarding Hauser is that he’s the older brother of Joey Hauser, a 6-foot-6 forward in the Class of 2018 who’s already on the receiving end of interest (and offers) from Division I programs.
-
Great stuff. Well done by Wojo and Company!!!
-
For those in the recruiting know, where do you expect Sam Hauser to be rated when all is said and done? Top 50 guy? Not that it really matters, just curious, as he doesn't appear to be in ESPN's top 60, and is rated just inside the top 100 on 247.
Thanks!

IMHO, if Sam rises above 70 it will say more about what recruiting gurus think about Wojo then what they think about Sam.

I think Sam should be a top-50 guy, but don't think he will be. He faces an uphill climb because his AAU program isn't sponsored by a big shoe company. Guys that play in the Nike EYBL, Adidas Uprising, and Under Armour Association have a huge edge in that they are seen regularly playing with and against the best, and all the major scouts spend their time at those events.
Because of that, I wouldn't worry about Hauser's ranking.
-
Scholarship table needs an update!
-
For Freeport and others who have seen both, it almost seems like Hauser has a similar recruiting story to LaChance in that neither are viewed as top athletes so there seemed to be some hesitance by major programs to offer despite very high basketball IQs and shooting abilities. Obviously LaChance played more point guard throughout high school and Hauser is viewed as a wing and Hauser is taller, but are the overall questions about their abilities somewhat similar?
-
If Hauser has a big showing at summer camps that can help his ranking. But I also wouldn't be too concerned about his ranking as so much goes into that. I'd say he's good enough to be top 50-75; Jaybee called him a top 40-70 type player. Great shooter and smart player.
Wojo will ultimately be defined by his ability to evaluate talent and develop players. If guys like Hauser, Cheatham, Anim, and Carter outperform their rankings then we'll know Wojo can do both.
-
Sam's mom was named ast. director of the WIAA.
I never made that connection. That doesn't hurt.

Our priority now is a tough rebounding power forward along side Fischer.

Welcome to MU.
I enjoy Wojo's recruiting so much better. Basketball players that are athletes, not athletes that are basketball players.
I like the Hauser signing, but he really isn't much of an athlete. If he was given how well he can shoot the ball, that kid would have been a top 30-40ish recruit. He'd also likely be signed with Wisconsin.
Shooting is really important though for not just making threes, but also spacing. Maybe Buzz would have also recruited Hauser even with his limited athletic gifts, but probably not. There is a pretty stark difference in the type of players both guys recruited. Hopefully it results in winning, but on the surface at least, Wojo seems to be a quality recruiter.

I don't worry about anyone's ranking.
I'm happy to wait to see how they "rank" once they are actually playing for the Warriors!

Is there a single top 30-40 kid on Bucky's roster? Was there last year or the year before? I mean to be fair Bo did develop some outstanding players. But none were McDonald's AAs recruited by Kentucky or Duke.

From what i recall reading, Hauser supposedly wanted to play at Wisconsin, but just never got an offer and he didn't want to wait around just hoping to get one.

Besides, Bo will be 87 before Sam graduates, ai na?

Sam might have felt that way when Wojo was first hired, but Wojo won Sam over fairly quickly. A Wisconsin offer in the past 8 or 9 months wouldn't have mattered.

For Freeport and others who have seen both, it almost seems like Hauser has a similar recruiting story to LaChance in that neither are viewed as top athletes so there seemed to be some hesitance by major programs to offer despite very high basketball IQs and shooting abilities. Obviously LaChance played more point guard throughout high school and Hauser is viewed as a wing and Hauser is taller, but are the overall questions about their abilities somewhat similar?
My opinion is that Hauser and LaChance are similarly effective shooters. Both have an excellent pump fake (or two) and get their shot off quick. You never really understand it until you see it at game speed. They are just heady players who have seen it all through high-level AAU. They get guarded by some of the top athletes in the country, but rather than force anything, they are patient and wait for opportunities. The next thing you know, they just reeled off three threes and a pull-up jumper from the elbow. They are at a different level than most. Take a guy like Jake Thomas for example. He was a was a good shooter in practice, but he could never really get his shot off because he didn't do anything other than shoot. Hauser and LaChance set you up. They have pull-ups. Double pump fakes. Step backs. And even better, they have been working off the ball since a very young age. There are a ton of very talented kids out there who do nothing unless the ball is in the hands. Not these guys. They do some of their best work off the ball setting guys up. Very psyched to have Sam on our squad and what better entree for Joey Hauser in 2018.
-
Great stuff Freeport. I too am psyched about Sam's commitment. One thing I notice is Sam is very good running off screens and squaring up. Great footwork. That allows him to be more than a spot up shooter standing in the corner. Combine that with his smart passing, timely drives, and post moves and you have a very nice offensive weapon.

Riley was small and traditional in every way. Besides his shooting, what I liked was he was a gamer. Big time competitive fire.
Athletic & overall game, Hauser is on a diff level. LaChance is a shooter; Hauser can help you in many ways.
I think part of it is nat'l guys having not seen him much. It's a "recruiting (ranking) miss" at this point and should be corrected to some degree if more folks view him in July.
All in all, I don't think the same concerns re: Riley are warranted for Hauser. Very diff players
-
Thanks for the insightful report, Freeport.
-
Good stuff. Love watching guys who can create their shot either via off ball movement or fakes, etc. It used to pain me to watch Dougie. But he was incredible at it at the collegiate level. And if he had played for us rather than the other guys we'd love him here.
-
All in all, I don't think the same concerns re: Riley are warranted for Hauser. Very diff players
Have to agree to disagree. I think the main concern is EXACTLY the same: lack of athleticism. Hauser has average athleticism IMO. LaChance, perhaps slightly less. Both get everything they can out of it (gamer reference is right on). Other that height/position (which I assumed were a given), they have a very similar game IMO. Sam gets a few more rebounds simply because of height. They both play "good enough D" but excel in with their IQ, fundamentals and shooting. Without the height, Sam would probably be seen almost identically as LaChance. I know that seems like an odd statement, but that is how much I think their games are the same. Sam might be able to back down a 6' 4" power forward from Wisconsin Rapids, but it will certainly not be his calling card in college. He can shoot and he has great fundamentals -- those are his main skills. Here is the main difference IMO -- exposure. Riley was "seen" by national scouts early on, but the offers were not rolling in, due to the athleticism concerns. He blew up his junior summer in July (ended ESPN #99 I think) because of his duel with Melo Trimble at Homestead and his Vegas tourney (I think Fab 48). Sam was seen as a "star to watch," but he made his real mark in the WI state tourney and has been increasing his profile steadily ever since. Hauser didn't need the July period to get his dream offers. La Chance did. People have been talking about Stone/Ellenson since 7th grade; Sam was not in that same hype category, alas his 3-star ranking (similar to Lachance). I don't know Hauser's personal camp schedule, but his AAU team ends in Louisville at the Super Showcase. That is where he will get seen. Thankfully, it doesn't matter any more. Hauser's team doesn't travel too much beyond the region, that is why he hasn't really been "seen." His team is good, but they won't win any real national tournaments IMO. Making it to the final four of the national 17u tourneys is when you really see how you stack up. Thankfully, it doesn't really matter now. Just one man's opinion.

Fair enough and thanks for the thoughts. Yes, it was Fab 48 for Riley - I remember watching several of his games at Bishop Gorman that year. Dad yelling and him scoring.
But, with Hauser what I thought when I watched him a few weeks ago: he's gotten stronger and made some aggressive, relatively athletic plays around the bucket. Physically, I think you might be selling him a little short.

That's funny because I was at a workout last week and thought the same thing of Riley. He looks so much stronger, yet still lean. He can dunk pretty easily now and I remember him always struggling. It shows what a year with a D1 strength and conditioning coach can do. Can't wait to see similar growth with Hauser and Heldt.

Is that all in one big breath? Paragraphs are your friend.
Seriously, thanks for the report.

Love joshing most posters here but JayBee and Freeport are excellent hoops experts. In all seriousness, there are a lot of great posters here if you follow on all sorts of topics. Nothing is stale on Scoop, quite a worldly and impressive portfolio of posters, especially if the veil of anomity is lifted. Quite amazing, actually.

Scholarship table (finally) updated.
http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?page=8
Notes:
- Adding the 16-17 column for Sam, I finally had to drop the 11-12 column, waving goodbye to Jamail Jones, Jae Crowder, and Darius Johnson-Odom
- The scholarship counts are wonky for 15-16, and 16-17. Technically, by my own rules, 16-17 should be at -1, since if we used the remaining two for this year on 4 year (or any multi-year) player, we'd be at 14 scholarships for 16-17. But until things settle out over the summer, I'll leave it at 2 and 1
- On a similar note, I may finally discard my rules and just change it to a scholarships used count. That way there's less ambiguity. Or maybe that would cause more confusion. I donno, I'll think about it.
Of course, I probably inevitably still have some mistakes, fire away.

Rocky,
Out of curiosity, is there a permanent link to the Scholarship Table now that it's no longer visible under the Resources box in the upper left?

- The scholarship counts are wonky for 15-16, and 16-17. Technically, by my own rules, 16-17 should be at -1, since if we used the remaining two for this year on 4 year (or any multi-year) player, we'd be at 14 scholarships for 16-17. But until things settle out over the summer, I'll leave it at 2 and 1
- On a similar note, I may finally discard my rules and just change it to a scholarships used count. That way there's less ambiguity. Or maybe that would cause more confusion. I donno, I'll think about it.
Of course, I probably inevitably still have some mistakes, fire away.
Thanks for keeping track of this. It likely is a pain in the butt to keep track of the comings and goings and eligibility.

Do we know for sure that the Maches are coming back?
Interestingly, if HE goes pro after one year, and we recruit two additional freshmen for 2016, we will have achieved the allusive "CLASS BALANCE!!!!"

Is there such a thing as class balance? Thanks for providing and updating the roster.

No. It's one of the Scoop memes that makes the Meme CBI now and again.

Its on the Features tab.
Thanks Sultan.

No, not at all. I've penciled them in. If I had to guess, they won't show up on the roster next year, but Marquette's roster page is currently stuck in 14-15 mode.

No problem. The state of transfers these days, it is hard to keep up to date -- I'm hopeful that will slow a bit under Wojo. It has been a pain, but mostly on the technical side -- have to use 3 programs on my PC to get the table correctly convert to web format. But last night I spent a few hours getting it to automatically embed from a Google spreadsheet. Looks like it works well, and I'll switch to that on the next update.

I think I like the 'new' way Rock. I get it. There's 2 this year. If one multi year kid signs now for '15-'16 then each of this year and next goes down by one to 1 and 0. If two multi-year kids actually sign, then 0 and -1 meaning somebody's not coming back (or alternatively not inking his NLI and coming) for '16-'17. That's my vote. Nice work. Thanks.

Just realized we have no scholarship seniors this coming year. When's the last time that's happened?
Also, if people stick around, we are going to be really, really, good in 2016-2017.

Hm, probably quite a while. Especially since Otule was a senior for 18 years or so.
