Recruiting as of 5/15/24

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

MUFNY please pass along the message to the Cain family that Jamal will be in very good hands academically at Marquette and not to worry about some people hiding behind a computer screen discussing his grades as a 17/18 year old kid.  Whether or not I had a killer GPA or a horrible GPA in high school, I'm glad my GPA didn't get the attention of some middle aged men on the internet.

(But seriously, if anybody in Cain's "inner circle" reads through here, I for one cannot wait to see Cain grow as a basketball player and a person, and his grades are his own business, not mine.)

+100.

I like everything but the GPA.

I didn't realize that two of the incoming recruits will have recently lost a parent .  I can't even imagine.  I hope that the Marquette family can do some small part to help fill those voids.

I am choosing between Ike and Jamal as the player to obsess over the next four years, now that JJJ Is going to the next level and Kostas found his own Shangri La...

I think Jamal has great character and definitely has a good niche perspective on life . How can you not love a kid who has an In depth analysis of the menu at Wendy's? Of course he is also a pogo stick . Of all of the players we recruited in recent years Jamal is the one that reminds me most of some of our old school greats.

Your right, our Eagles nest academic support  is great, in fact it was the first of its kind . Tom Ford, who is now retired,  knew his stuff and understood kids.

Agree with everything.  I have nothing but sympathy for the young man and think he has a bright future at Marquette.

I have little doubt that he will be fine academically.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Well, I mean, he was dealing with the death of his father, so I'm willing to cut him some slack on the GPA.
Though I'm not particularly concerned by a 2.6 GPA, regardless of those circumstances. As Cardale Jones sort of said, he wasn't recruited to play school.

Hey!  Tommy Boy got a D- minus and a MU degree. Most of us didn't get all A's either

[MomofMUltiples]

MUFINY, how can you pick who you are going to obsess over before you find out who is the target of Wojo's mind games?

Or an accurate neck measurement!

Lots of people go to college for 7 years.  They're called "Otules."

During St. Paddy's Week he's O'Tule

Might need JayBee to confirm

But heard Theo recently had his way with Race.

This could even be old news if correct. I don't follow crap around here

Don't think we were really on him anymore, but Epperson committed to Creighton

Can't wait for our Aussie to eat their Aussie alive.

That writing had been on the wall once Harry transferred.

That should be a fun matchup with Harry next year

I could see Epperson redshirting, though that may depend on Patton's NBA decision.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

It may seem opportunistic, but the reality of a coaching change is that recruits often back out of their commitments and reopen their recruitment. I thought I'd list out the top recruits who committed to coaches who are no longer employed with their original schools.

Michael Porter (Washington): 6-10 213 lb SF from Seattle. #2 per 247.
Jeremiah Tilmon (Illinois): 6-10 220 lb PF from East St. Louis. #29 per 247.
Daejon Davis (Washington): 6-3 170 lb CG from Seattle. #47 per 247.
Jaylen Nowell (Washington): 6-4 175 lb SG from Seattle. #61 per 247.
Justin Smith (Indiana): 6-7 210 lb PF from Chicago. #72 per 247.
Jemarl Baker (Cal): 6-2 165 lb SG from Los Angeles. #73 per 247.
Galen Alexander (LSU): 6-6 215 lb SF from Louisiana. #100 per 247. *Was previously recruited by Wojo
Trent Frazier (Illinois): 6-2 170 lb PG from Miami. #107 per 247.
DaMonte Williams (Illinois): 6-2 180 lb PG from Peoria. #109 per 247.
Brandon Rachal (LSU):6-6 220 lb CG from Louisiana. #122 per 247
Blake Harris (Washington): 6-3 185 lb PG from Raleigh. #126 per 247.
Clifton Moore (Indiana): 6-10 202 lb PF from Philly. #143 per 247.
Thomas Allen (NC State): 6-2 180 lb SG from New Hampshire. #151 per 247.
Juhwan Harris-Dyson (Cal):6-4 190 lb SG from North Carolina. #156 per 247.
CJ Roberts (Mizzou): 6-2 178 lb PG from Dallas. #173 per 247.
Mamoudou Diarra (Washington): 6-9 205 lb SF from South Carolina. #203 per 247.
Javon Pickett (Illinois): 6-3 180 lb SG from St. Louis. #231 per 247.
Aljami Durham (Indiana): 6-4 175 lb PG from Atlanta. #239 per 247.
Trevin Knell (Cal): 6-5 175 lb SG from Utah. #261 per 247.
Justice Sueing (Cal): 6-7 205 lb PF from Los Angeles. #291 per 247.
Alex Hickman (Cal): 6-4 170 lb SG from Los Angeles. #357 per 247.

No inside info, but given proximity, previous relationships, and need I will be keeping an eye on Jeremiah Tilmon, Justin Smith, and Galen Alexander.

Damn.  I had a 2.6 in HS.  And I went to Marquette and graduated just fine.

TAMU


Good stuff!!!

[GB Warrior]

Obviously Porter will be heading to Mizzou, but that's a hell of a list. Would love to supplement another big, but I'm also worried about unbalanced classes again.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Thanks TAMU.  Now, who's got a list of potential grad transfers.

If Jeffrey Carroll of of Okie State came free, I'd be very happy to add him.  Rs-Jr, great athlete and shooter.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Don't worry. I'll start working on that after our season is over

You're going to wait til April?
