Are we to assume that the pitch to Garcia is "the keys are yours next year" with Markus gone

If they lost out on Garcia because of the Osa commit...

I got a bridge in Brooklyn, I'd like you to see.

He has said as much.

[Dawson Rental]

Yes, MU is in his final 7...great, now land him, that's what matters. Anyway, no one here understands recruiting?? We just saw it with Hawkins...Now, I'd have rather had Osa then him, but kids don't like being "recruited over" like that. They want to be your priority. Multiple players at one position does scare off recruits. It happens all the time. And it's not because they don't think they can't beat that other player out, it's because they feel jilted.

If only you detested mediocrity in your own posts....

Hawkins and Oso were the same type of player, tall wings with a good handle as opposed to being a stretch four like Garcia, and you're hardly being recruited over when you're the higher ranked player and are taken after the other player.  It's at least plausible that getting Garcia might make Lewis feel recruited over, but not the other way around.

I have a headache

[muguru]

So can I go back to being happy about Osa, or are we still worried about unintended consequences?

I'm on record as saying I loved the Osa commit...look it up. But I will NOT be happy about it. IF IF it costs them Garcia. We don't know that it will..I hope not..I'd LOVE to finish this class with 2 of.. Davis, Garcia, Hoggard, Suggs or the Canadian kid.

Every post u come across as more of a lunatic and what you think is reality isnt.

Conditional Love, Got it.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Hardly advisable, unless you’re hoping to see the visits from RJ Davis and AJ Hoggard in the near future get cancelled.

Disagree

Ya you know, that one kid 🤪😂

[Jay Bee]

That was a bizarre article this morning, but never a doubt.

Got to see Dawson go up against one of our kids Sunday night... always interesting to see guys in a variety of competitions.

As usual, his parents were in the gym. Would be easy for them to slide over to Milwaukee to check out a lot his games. MU makes a lot of sense for him!

Pretty sure that’s what they’re telling RJ Davis. Tough to “give the keys” to a forward.

Tell that to Henry Ellenson

[MuMark]

You offer both a chance to show they are the best driver.........then you give out the keys.

Bottom line is both guys know they are top.priorities for us at different positions......so they will get every opportunity to make a big impact as a frosh.

That's all anyone can ask......everything else is earned.

[JakeBarnes]

Any ice cream trucks spotted for the Hoggard visit?

[swoopem]

Tell that to Henry Ellenson

I’d argue that Henry did not have the keys. The offense just ran threw him. Totally different.

Point guards get the keys

Marquette, Pittsburgh, Temple, Maryland, and Old Dominion were in today for 2021 prospect Daniel Nixon, a source told @Stockrisers.

I love how you always pretend to know what I would think or say about it. That's hilarious.

naw son, its because you're as predictable as a sunrise.

Literally something you can never know.

Give it a rest.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Semantics...if you aren't in his final 7, you obviously have ZERO chance of getting him. And the ONLY reason they wouldn't be in his final 7 would be the Osa commit..That would absolutely infuriate me..

So dumb. So you don't take a commitment from a highly regarded player because it may eliminate someone you might not get anyway? 

Do you see how absolutely absurd that is?

Listen sunshine...here's the deal...let's say MU only has one scholarship to give yet..and it's between Osa and Garcia...Are you telling me you're going to take Osa, just because he'd commit first, or are you going to wait another month or two and see what Garcia does.

I will dumb this down for you(and others) even more...let's say you have this cute girl that is interested in you and is willing to commit to you...however, you also know that this really hot chick is possibly obtainable, but she isn't ready to commit to you yet, but she is definitely interested. Now, sure, you can "settle" for the cute chick, that is a wonderful chick in her own right, but you also know the one you REALLY want and the one you'd be happiest with is the really hot chick that's interested in you.

You can "take" the cute chick right now because she wants you and is ready to commit, but that possibly takes you out of the running for the hot chick. However, if you wait until the hot chick is ready to commit, you might end up getting exactly what you want, and if you don't ultimately end up with her, what have you lost?? There's other "cute" chicks that would commit to you. Or, you could just stay single for awhile, wait things out and perhaps land another "hot" chick later on after she breaks up with her previous boyfriend. Seems like a no brainer to me, but...of course no one would agree with me, because well...that would go against everything anyone believes in even though the analogy is 100% SPOT on.

Yes. No question. Only an idiot would do otherwise.
