Indiana fans are surprisingly calm.It’s Minnesota fans that are going berserk, even saying that Marquette paid him 🙄
For anyone else who watched the announcement, Norlander came off like a completely B10 stooge/clown before the announcement. Rattled off why Garcia would best fit in at Indiana/Minnesota, then mentioned Memphis. Then tossed Marquette in at the end like “well, they will need scoring when Howard leaves. Heh heh, they’re gonna need a lot of help”. It wasn’t even like he was anti-Marquette, just came off as acting like Marquette wasn’t in the same level as these programs and it would be surprising if they got it done. Also, they had the footer announcing Marquette before the delayed video showed him grabbing the hat
I'm still tapped out from paying the Hausers not to go to Madison. That was no cheap date!
Congrats to Wojo and his coaching staff for recognizing big-time talent early and sticking with him, and congrats to Dawson for making a great decision.The very last thing I read about Dawson before the announcement included a comment from him about each team. Frankly, he made it sound as if he was least excited about going to MU. He played it real close to the vest, and that's kinda cool actually.
Another tidbit I learned..well Duke had interest in Dawson(we all knew that I think). But it wasn't just passing interest...they tried incredibly hard to get involved with him in July, but they just got in too late. He talked to Coach K numerous times...for a period of time, he called as much or more than any other Coach. How about them apples?? He shunned Duke for MU
some funny comments @ Buckyville:Why the hell does Garcia have a final four of Marquette, Memphis, Minnesota, and Indiana? The kid may turn out to be great, but isn't the best indicator of quality which other schools are recruiting him?I watched him play twice last season, and I'm 100% fine with him not choosing UW. Think Andy VV....I've never seen a softer or more low-effort player in my life. It's possible his weak effort was just a fluke and happened in the 2 games I watched, but I was not impressed. Skilled, but soft. Sounds perfect for Marquette.
Doubt it. DUKE already had reeled in 6 of ESPNs top 43.
Maybe K was pitching for Wojo.
Any chance of him making the McDonalds AA game?
Not sure if this has been posted, but here is a link to his announcement.https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-recruiting-dawson-garcia-commits-to-marquette-over-indiana-minnesota-and-memphis/
Is he the highest ranked out of state recruit in the last 20 years?
