Kolek planning to go pro
That is simply not true. http://www.slamonline.com/online/college-hs/high-school/2010/10/quincy-miller-diary-no-2/
We're a longshot, but, except for maybe a local kid (Novak?), we haven't even been mentioned in this kind of "final 5" since Al.
Iman Schumpert is another...and does Kris Dunn count?
Schumpert came down to Geogia Tech and us. Georgia Tech is not in the same league as Texas, Louisvlle, Florida and Ohio St. Didn't Dunn end up at Providence?
Duke and Louisvlle are bluebloods. Oklahoma and Baylor (where he ended up) are a notch down.
What about Trotter and Rivers? Last I checked, those weren't Al's recruits, and they didn't just have us in their final 5, they picked Marquette. Certainly bigger gets than Novak was.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
Hello, Vander Blue.Final five; UCLA, Arizonia, Florida, Tennessee, MU.Wasn't MU in the final five on Luol Dieng? Besides Duke, there must have been some other biggies in there.
On his final 5... http://www.zagsblog.com/2012/05/21/dorian-finney-smith-cuts-list-to-five/Dorian Finney-Smith Cuts List to FiveBY ADAM ZAGORIA ON MAY 21, 2012, 2:44PMVirginia Tech transfer Dorian Finney-Smith has trimmed his list to five schools.“Florida, Louisville, Texas, Marquette and Ohio State,” his mother, Desiree Finney told SNY.tv Monday afternoon.No visits are currently set but after the current dead period ends, Finney-Smith plans to begin taking visits.“What I’m going to to now is I’m going to get with the coaches and see how we’re going to do that,” she said. “We’re going to start some visits at the end of the month.”An ACC all-freshman team member in 2012, Finney-Smith averaged 6.3 points and 7.0 rebounds as a freshman. He started 30 of 33 games.The 6-foot-8 small forward from Portsmouth, Va., opted to transfer after coach Seth Greenberg was fired.
It's nice to be in the final five, particularly since it wasn't necessary to be in the final seven to make the final five. It looks like ultimatewarrior's news that Dorian was going to pare the list to three came to pass, then two more schools (Ohio State and Louisville) popped up. I guess Louisville isn't certain that Rodney Hood is coming their way.

I know MU has been in on Clark since he was a freshman or so and if D Wilson is more of a natural combo an additional ball handler my be a good fit... then look for a front court player for the remaining 2013 scolly (if there is one remaining).
Clark would be a great add, especially this late in the recruiting game. Not sure how strong our interest is, but I remember his mom tweeting at some MU assistants (either Aki or Benford) that they should tell Buzz to come check her son out when Clark was dropping monster statlines. As I recall, very smart kid and a religious family, Marquette seems like a perfect fit, and his mom seems to think so too.I don't know how ready he'd be for Big East basketball, with his small frame, but I'd love to see some competition behind Junior at the 1, and it'd also put pressure on Duane Wilson next year, which I think is a great way to ensure that these guys are giving everything they have. Would also love the ability to have a legitimate 2-PG attack, it worked very well with Cooby and Acker. Still think another big is our most pressing need, but I certainly wouldn't complain if Stevie Clark fell into our lap.
I would assume Clark goes to either Louisville or UCONN would love to have him aboard though.
Don't we have a pg coming in 2013 with another on the roster? Not exactly sure where clark would fit.
