Where's the "Welcome to MU Henry!!" banner on Scoop?

How long before the Vadge-nation chimes in?

One of the resident a-holes over there said last week, "If Bo wanted him, Henry would be a Badger."

How long will it take for the first badger fan to post a topic on how he hopes Henry is happy with his decision after MUs first tough loss this season?  Im starting the line at 30 minutes...

Yeah, bro, you didn't hear? Wiscy went to the Final Four last year; players come to Bo now, and he turns down 5-stars with a flick of the wrist.

Back to reality, truly a pathetic statement.

I'll take comfort in the fact that as great a day as this is for Marquette, it is a similarly unsettling day in Badgerland.

Now for Stone to head out east

Now all that is left to see is whether MU has landed their first McDonald's All-American in a VERY long time.

Taylor is looking great...

Gabe was not going to play 3-guard or small fwd so it was 4/5 only for him.
Hard to ask a player to sit out a full year and then not look to play much in next couple of years. Better for player to transfer now and get into a new program asap where playing time will be available.  That was the situation Gabe thought he was coming to here.

WOJO did not tell him to go. It was Gabe's choice and he feels it is the right choice for him, so best of luck to Gabe. Things can change in a few months and they have for MU basketball.

Next year we have at 4/5
STJ - JR PF
Luke F-JR C
4 star Freshman Center
5 star Freshman PF

Gabe would have been 5th man, in a rotation that will more than likely have >95% of the minutes taken by the four above for 1 year for sure and who knows after that. 

PS Are recruiting for 2015 with additional schollie available.  Charging hard now on a top 100 that has been associated with MU and STJ connection.

Hats off once again to Big Daddy for calling it before it happened.  This was posted in the "Levin" thread.

I love it!

I especially love the idea that he committed to MU the day before he was to travel to Kentucky for a formal visit at their Midnight Madness!!

Welcome, Henry. Very, very glad to have you.

I think with the Wojo link to Duke Henry could very well be a McDs all american.  Years past I would have been hesitant to say so.

Is it painfully obvious to anyone else (without naming names) who Big Daddy is?

There's that F-word we keep seeing.

EllenDONE BY ERIC BOSSI RIVALS.COM

For a while now, Marquette has been considered the heavy favorite to land five-star forward Henry Ellenson. But being favored and closing a prospect are different things. Thursday morning, Ellenson shut the door on his recruitment.

   

Henry Ellenson is a mobile forward.
Steve Wojciechowski and his staff can celebrate now after their top target ended his recruitment.

Sources close to Ellenson's recruitment confirmed to Rivals.com that the 6-foot-9 combo forward from Rice Lake (Wisc.)High committed and he is clearly a huge addition to Marquette's 2015 recruting class.

Possibly under ranked at No. 17 nationally, Ellenson is as skilled on the offensive end as any player in the country. Considered a slow footed face up five man earlier in his high school years, he has totally transformed his game while developing into an elite level recruit.

Yes, Ellenson still loves to face the basket and shoot jumpers. Yes, he can be a quit trigger happy when it comes to his shot selection but it is hard to blame him. Ellenson has a well developed mid range game, scores with either hand on an assortment of jump hook and up and under moves in the post and he can shoot past the three point stripe.

However, the most significant developments with Ellenson's game are his ability to put the ball on the floor and his mobility. Ellenson can create for himself in the open court and is the rare big man that can utilize a ball screen like a guard. While others can jump higher, Ellenson is highly mobile, changes directions well and he can run very well.

What it all adds up to is a player who should be capable of making an instant impact in Milwaukee.

Now that Ellenson is in the fold, the Golden Eagles have put together a strong recruiting class in Wojciechowski's first year on the job. In addition to Ellenson, they hold commitments from four-star guards Haanif Cheatham and Nick Noskowiak plus Rivals150 big man Matt Heldt.

Nope. But do tell.

I'm assuming its a parent of a player?

[ChicosBailBonds]

Welcome to MU....I hope our fans let you enjoy the experience and are realistic with expectations.

Go Warriors

Seriously?

[GGGG]

Seriously?

Are you surprised?  Just doing what he loves to do best...making it about him.

[Blackhat]

Twin Towers now with Heldt and Ellenson.   Something MU hasn't had in a long time, length inside!

I'm getting a tingly feeling down in my plums!!

[Lighthouse 84]

Nope. But do tell.

I assumed it was someone pretty high up in the hierarchy in MU Hoops.  But then I saw this post and thought again.

Chico's just took "We Are. Marquette." to a whole new level?  Our fans?

He's gonna be top 10-15 in the final RSCI I would imagine, thats pretty safely in McD AA territory.  I wouldn't be hesitant even without the Duke connection, I would be SHOCKED if he wasnt.

Two years ago commentary. All holds true; obviously long before MU was a #DoneDeal:

He registered on Scoop in 2008.  I doubt he is a parent of a player.
