Malik Newman

[Dish]

I know this is semi off topic (feel free to move to Superbar), but now that it's been publicly announced, I can share what I know.

Malik will be announcing his college decision this Friday. He had texted me last Friday that he was going to make his announcement this Friday, but asked me to keep it private. Sadly, despite my efforts, he is not going to Marquette.

Instead of holding a traditional presser, he's going to announce it in a private gathering that will be live streamed on clarionledger.com.

He's a really good young man, been interesting getting to know him and see the process play out.

Well, thanks for trying, Dish!

Had DePaul given the job to Howland, there is still absolutely no chance whatsoever that Malik Newman would have gone there. The only reason he picked MSU was because his dad played there. Howland helped, but he didn't give MSU a look because of Howland, he gave them a look because of a family history that DePaul simply didn't have.

All true, but a real good get for Howland no matter how you slice. Would HE be here if WE was not?

Probably not. Just saying that I don't think DePaul screwed up with Howland. With Drew and Hurley? Yes, but if they hire Ben, there's no marquee recruit he brings to DPU.

More importantly,
UCLA messed with "happy" by letting him go.

I am not sure who you are, but you personally pursuing a recruit seems to me to be a recruiting violation.

Been under a rock? Dish's son has been sick with cancer. They spent time at the Ronald McDonald House in Chicago this past year, including when the McDonald's All American team visited the kids and families there. There is nothing untoward about this.

I'll send Malik's text messages and Face Time chats to me and my son to the NCAA.

We are not North Carolina, so expect a three year suspension. Yes, I consider teal, but I am not sure I am joking about this.

Opening up a can of worms------Does anyone think Malik Newman would have come to MU if we had hired Ben Howland? I don't
think so. I bleed MU, but my former best buddy says we are slowly becoming a Mid-Major BB School. Even though we got Henry
and a very good recruiting class.

Your best buddy is a moron.

If someone thought Marquette was becoming a mid major, they'd be my former best buddy too.

[Dish]

There is no way Malik was coming to Marquette.

For reasons in picking Miss St, Ben Howland was #3, behind his father and Adidas.

Why, because I believe in following rules. MU sends out a brochure to season ticket holders warning them about talking to recruits. While it probably will never amount to anything a booster talking to a potential recruit is a clear violation. Someone else posted on this site after the awards banquet a lot of detailed recruiting information. He basically made it sound like inside information, which you can then assume is coming from MU coaches, which if so, is another violation. It is bad enough committing potential violations, but then they actually post them on the internet is just not smart. Another thing on this site that irritates me is the constant saying we do not want this recruit or that recruit. Wojo is not going to recruit a player that he thinks will not help the team. Sure there may be 100 better players that we might want to be recruited, but if they are not interested it does not matter. I just do not think it is smart for MUScoop to work against Wojo's efforts. As we have been told in the past recruits sometimes read this site, so negative comments here by posters who do not really know how good a recruit is just counterproductive. My wife's nephew is the Dominican High basketball coach. I never once asked him what Diamond was thinking as I considered it inappropriate. I like to hear the recruiting news, but I am not willing to follow recruits on twitter or communicate with them in any other matter. Just because it is not likely to result in a sanction by the NCAA does not make it right to interfere with the coaches' recruiting efforts. Besides that there is not much we can say to a potential that will actually help Wojo succeed in his efforts and a dumb comment to a potential recruit could actually hurt Wojo's efforts. I think Badger fans actually hurt Bo's efforts to recruit Diamond. We need to be patient and not interfere with the coaches recruiting effort. That is the way I feel and I do not care what you think about it. So again I am not embarassed.
