Still better than Wojo with Markus Howard on his roster.  Doh.

Dwayne Wade is a far, far better player than Markus Howard.

Because Markus is as good as one of the top 50 players of all time?    Wow.   Kudos to Wojo for recognizing that and landing him early.   Without Wade on the roster, Crean went to 3 NCAA tournaments in 7 years.     Wojo has gone 3 of the last 4.     We can do this crap all day.    And I don't consider calling Wojo 'Crean without Wade' a compliment to Wojo.      I have spelled out my concerns about Wojo many times.    But he isn't going anywhere for a while.   

So, about recruiting.....

Interesting transfer related nugget from talking to college coaches. Guys NOT having to sit out, is actually making them less attractive to options to a large number of coaches. A lot like the notion of being able to balance their roster with a sit out year/year of development

Good! More for us!

As you said, big week ahead. Happy with one, delighted with two. Need to git er done!

[Its DJOver]

Since everyone is "announcing" next week, does that mean that they've already made their decision and told the coaches.  It would seem relevant since a lot of the same programs are finalists for multiple players.  For example, if DeJulius picks Iowa State, does Wojo already know that, and is now using that to pitch Carton even harder?  With this much overlap between finalists, and most decisions coming around the same time, it would seem that something similar to this is in play.

Yep, Crean without Wade, Pearl Jam without Vedder, Jordan without Pippen, Wright without Jalen Brunson, The Beatles without McCartney, etc.

Sign me 100% with Wojo with ???? that will win at a high level.

I've thought of this very scenario...it is definitely no coincidence(in my mind), that Turner, Burton and Now DeJulius are all announcing around the same time. Burton I guess is an outlier as far as schools he has in his final 4, but still has an impact on MU. To me, Turner is the big prize, simply because A. he's the best player available B. The impact he will/would have on next year's team. After that, it's Burton(even over Carton), that kid is a flat out stud. He just never got to showcase it enough at Wichita. I have been singing his praises since MU made his Final four. He was often the best player on the floor for Wichita most nights. The impact he has on games, even beyond his box score numbers is clearly evident, which is proven out by the numbers Paint touches posted on him a few days ago. I want Turner to announce first so there is ERO reason for him to even be remotely, possibly scared off by Burton(if he's eligible next year). I can live without DeJulius, but I still say, if they get Turner and Burton, it would be a fantastic job by Wojo this off season, and if they get those two PLUS Carton, they need to build him a statue.

Rehashing the same talking points and arguments for the 1000th time isn't necessary?

Per Jon Rothstein, Justin Turner will make his decision on Monday as well.

If you guys had to guess...who do you think ends up at MU, if any?

My gut says Turner is more likely than Burton, but that may only be because I want Turner badly(Burton too though). Ah screw it, why not just get both?? 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

1a. Dejulius
1b. Burton
2. Carton
3. Turner

The dream is to get all 3 but that's a tall order. If I had to guess,  Dejulius to MU, Burton to Texas Tech,  Carton to MU, Turner to Mizzou

If we get one of two of the above four, where does that put Mane?

East Lansing, hey?

Where does Joey transfer to after he writes his letter to Tommy about shot distribution with Karim, aina? Does big bro sign the letter from Charlottesville?

Not buying it. If anything, the guy I think is most vulnerable to everything happening is Koby McEwen.

I’m still optimistic about Karim and I’m sure if he see we get one of these folks, he’ll see the strength of our line-up and think twice about going to green hell!

As Coach McGuire once said: “Son, we’re going to win with you or without you. You decide!”

Pretty sure Izzo can say that more than Wojo.

Fluff, ole buddy, don’t sell our Warriors short.

If One of the top 4 join us (or even two), we’ll have a line-up with legitimate pro prospects in Mane, Burton, Garcia and maybe Oso. With our bench, we may have the deepest team we’ve had in years. That’s a great way to play college ball.

Big question will be whether Wojo can “coach ‘em up.”  If he proves he can, then “wow!”
