[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Wow, I thought Hauser was a 75-100 type kid. Never thought I'd see him in the top 50. Well done Sam!

All names associated with Marquette:

28. Cassius Winston
35. Amir Coffey

73. Kevin Huerter

75. Brendan Bailey
93. Myles Powell
95. Quentin Goodin
UR. Daquan Bracey

Not a bad list of offers that Wojo has out. Gotta believe that he can grab at least one (in addition to Hauser) off this list.

Also, no mention of Kostas. Must not have gotten the memo from Jerry Meyer.

[The Lens]

If Wojo sticks around, this could be better than TC & Buzz.  And I loved Buzz. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Awesome to see Hauser rise big time. Hopefully the other sites catch on as the summer goes along.

I honestly think Coffey should be top 30 but obviously 35 ain't bad!

[MUfan12]

Also, no mention of Kostas. Must not have gotten the memo from Jerry Meyer.

Hah. I'm hoping the rumors of him prepping for a year are accurate. He could really use it, and it would only help MU's chances.

[Loose Cannon]

I believe Haanif has been similarly underrated……..Still is!

[Dawson Rental]

Plus he'd have a chance to start for two years in High School.

Love it, hauser in top 50 trumps all

[Ellenson Guerrero]

How does it help MU's chances?  I just think it means one more year towards Giannis' free agency.

Assuming the team is in MKE, Giannis will be as well.

MU has built in advantages here. But, the 2016 scholarship situation doesn't bode well for taking a player who is a project at this point. If he preps, and hones his skills a bit, I would think Wojo would be all over him.

Basically helps our chances in having more open scholarships

If he preps anywhere other than St John's, I'm not sure that having a year to adjust to being away from family will help MU's chances.

[Goose]

Wojo is going to get players. I am very confident that he will recruit well and get guys to play hard. Probably different types of guys than Buzz chased, but in long haul probably a better game plan.

[Dawson Rental]

I've got to think that the extent of Hauser's jump in the rankings is a nod by the gurus to the evaluation abilities of Wojo and Bennett. 

[MUFlutieEffect]

Anyone else notice that #50, Isaac Humphries, is an Australian attending "La Lumiere School"??? 

All WoJo should have to do is show off our piece of crap honeycomb building and he'll surely be heading to Milwaukee.

Since it's winter down under right now, if Wojo can get him to visit this summer maybe he'll think Marquette is a warm weather school.

Lots of good bball players have gone through La Lumiere. Including.... Hanner Perea of Indiana East Tennessee State.

A couple of years ago, La Lumiere played in a tournament my kids' school hosted.  At the time, they had seven players with D1 offers.  At the time, I didn't really know about the whole prep school concept.  All I could think about was what it would be like have a high school team with D1-quality players coming off the bench.

A childhood buddy of mine is the head coach at LaLumiere... maybe I'll have to send him a Facebook message.

You're a back channel man.
What the NCAA don't know, the MU fans understand.


Apologies to Willie Dixon.

How come?

I would think it has more to do with Sam's ability and continued improvement. Kind of like the baseball myth of lineup protection - that having a better hitter after you in the lineup makes you a better hitter.

[keefe]

Apologies to Willie Dixon.

You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree
You can't judge honey by looking at the bee
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover

Tell Automatic Slim, tell Razor Totin' Jim
Tell Butcher Knife Totin' Annie, tell Fast Talking Fanny
A we gonna pitch a ball, a down to that union hall
We gonna romp and tromp till midnight
We gonna fuss and fight till daylight
We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long

[Spotcheck Billy]

Hamilton on a ten can get you straight
But Jackson on a twenty is really great
And if you're talkin' about a poor man's friend
Grant will get you out of whatever you're in

Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

That the mighty Elgin HS Maroons defeated I might add.  East side, Maroon pride.

When was the last time Elgin was good? Not trying to be fececious I just honestly don't remember. They always play in my dad's volleyball team in a tournament every year so I know for a fact their volleyball team isnt spectacular.
