I don’t know how Juan Anderson even got brought up in this thread. He was simply terrible. I’m not sure if he was highly ranked coming out of HS but man did he disappoint every year.
Another unfulfilled potential from the 80sTerry Reason. I think came in as one of the highest scoring players in California HS history. Looked great as a freshman. got in Rick's dog house. Nothing after that.
Juan was RSCI #81 in 2011.He may not have lived up to that ranking, but he was better than players like Jamail Jones (#74 in 2010) and Erik Williams (#67 in 2009)
Jamil Wilson.Ended up a decent player, but never really became what people thought he would become.
Unreal expectations of the fan base?
As good as Glenn Rivers was, he didn't reach his potential at Marquette. His game was muted by both Raymonds and Majerus. He ended up being only a second-round draft pick despite his talent, but then realized his potential during a good, long pro career.
Bingo.Also, holding the lack of tournament success against that group is harsh. As glow pointed out, hey had two seasons where they were all healthy... as freshman and juniors. Got beat by a fluke shot junior year.It's still ridiculous. The only expectation he fell short of was making it to the NBA. Over four years, what he did at MU was as good as anyone could have hoped.
This might help this conversation: http://marquette.247sports.com/Sport/Basketball/AllTimeRecruitsIts a list of Marquette's top 50 recruits since 2000 based on their 247 composite rating.Some names that jump out to me:#1 Henry Ellenson and #2 Vander Blue both left with us wanting more.#3 Jajuan Johnson underachieved his first 2.5 seasons but looked like the star we expected the second half of last season. Could give us a monster senior year.#4 Dameon Mason I think was great when he played for us but after transferring to LSU he really fell of the wagon.We just recruited #5 Markus Howard, very very excited about him.#11 is Juan Anderson? Damn.#15 is Sandy Cohen? Damn.Yous Mbao and Davante Gardner are tied at #31? Yikes.247 massively underrates JUCOs, see #26 Jameel McKay, t-#34 Darius Johnson-Odom, t-#34 Jae Crowder, t-#48 Jimmy Butler.
JFB was rated behind Pat Hazel, Mike Kinsella and David Cubillan but Chico insists he was offered by Kentucky. LOL.
He wasn't?That was sarcasm, he was. Just google it, very easy to find all the old articles.
Butler, on the other hand, had an offer from Kentucky - his dream school - and was set to accept.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
He was....http://www.jsonline.com/sports/goldeneagles/107124358.html
+1. Doc was a major disappointment as a college player - but not because of Raymonds and Majerus. What muted his game was his poor outside shot. Opponents played zones and that's what stymied him.
Some random thoughts on this subject:1) Bernard Toone -- One of the best recruits Al got (which is saying a lot) but wasted a lot of his talent.
