Oso planning to go pro
Louisville and G-town are tearing it up on the recruiting trail right now. I don't know how Marquette is going to be able to stay in the upper echelon of the BE with the kind of talent Pitino and JTIII are reeling in right now. Louisville and G-town are both going to have a great shot to win a national championship in the next few years with the caliber of talent they have coming in. G-town just got a commitment from Greg Monroe the #1 prospect in the 2008 class, and they have a sick class coming in from this year. Louisville already has a verbal from a top 5 kid in Samardo Samuel, who I might add is a frickin' monster. It also looks like they will get another commitment from a top 5 kid whenever Tyreke Evans decides. Add those two recruits to a couple other top 50-100 kids and Louisville has loads of talent coming in. Plus, both G-town and Louisville are already stacked with a lot of really good talent at the moment. It's scary how good those two programs could be the next 2-3 years. Crean needs to start getting some more high caliber talent in here otherwise MU is going to take one helluva a nose dive after next year. Jamil Wilson would be a great start.

Upper echelon of the Big East, to me, is finishing top 5 every season. Pretty sure we can still do that.Pitino has always recruited like this. He has always "out-recruited" Marquette and Crean when it comes to "big names" and rankings. Nothing different now. Crean has a great record against Pitino and I'd expect that series to remain even at worst.G'town has some great talent coming in but whose to say that all these kids will pan out? Perhaps Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert are the best 1-2 combo they'll have in this 8-10 year span? Whose to say our guys won't turn into great combinations? It's just too much of an unknown to get that worried about it.I'm not saying all is well with our recruiting but I also don't see a point in being worried about a season that won't take place for 13 months or 25 months.

Go checkout the talent programs like Cuse' and Villanova also have coming in. They're reloading with some very talented players as well. Like I said if Crean doesn't start getting more high caliber talent Marquette will be falling to the back of the pack in the BE. We already have a severe lack of talent in the frontcourt that gets exposed heavily every year. With Barro leaving next year it looks like it will not get much better either. We're going to be left with prolly only one good legit big in Mbakwe. That is going to be a huge problem if you ask me. Especially when you got teams like the Georgetown's and Louisville's that run out 3-4 really good big men.
