One exciting part of Madness is seeing the squad of potential recruits? Does anyone have a list yet of who might be attending?

Also are you attending?

Mr. Nielsen · « **Reply #1 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:20:31 PM »

I'll be going, but the Brewers are making me think twice about MU Madness. Maybe the Brewers can win in 4 and put this point to bed.

BrewCity83 · « **Reply #2 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:24:21 PM »

I'm going to MM, unless the Brewers are playing Game 5. So, that means I'm probably not going to MM.

chapman · « **Reply #3 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:31:52 PM »

If any surprise guests are attending they should just get it over with and announce beforehand. Unless the Brewers sweep it could help get an attendance boost.

GGGG · « **Reply #4 on:** October 10, 2011, 04:25:50 PM »

Is there a chance that attendance could be embarrassingly low due to the NLCS?

WarhawkWarrior · « **Reply #5 on:** October 10, 2011, 04:33:57 PM »

Maybe they should change the time to midnight!

brewcity77 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 10, 2011, 05:09:27 PM »

Regarding recruits, I know Philip Nolan is scheduled to be there. Haven't been as many names as usual publicized, but that may be because we only have two open schollies for the next two years. Maybe some 2014s and beyond we don't yet know about.

TallTitan34 · « **Reply #7 on:** October 10, 2011, 05:51:48 PM »

I always plan on going, then either back out or end up losing track of time due to drinking. Hopefully be there this year.

"Toby Hegner, Kevon Looney and Diamond Stone"

What's the scoop with these guys???

MuMark · « **Reply #33 on:** October 13, 2011, 02:33:04 PM »

All local kids. Looney and Stone are big time. Looney is 2014, Stone 2015.

Dead on. Looney is a likely 5-star prospect and currently probably top-20 for his class (though we know how much can change in a few short years). Stone is probably the best big man prospect in the state. Haven't seen any rankings yet, but I'd guess he'll be ranked very highly as well, probably top-50 or better.

As far as Hegner, he's a 2013. 6'9" power forward, but needs to add weight. He's mostly getting looks from mid-majors, but is an in-state kid and we have offered him. Wisconsin, Iowa State, and Northwestern are also interested.

Looney is currently #14 overall and #2 nationwide at his position. Not for sure on Diamond "In The Rough" Stone. I'm assuming Hegner is your basic traditional.

We've got Dwayne Wade, Wes Matthews, OJ Mayo, Steve Novak (probably), Lazar Hayward, and Jimmy Butler. Not too shabby.

Just found this out as well. I'm pretty sure he's a lock. If he was in Milwaukee and didn't come I'd be upset.

I have nothing against IU and I can understand that Wade might be tight with Crean, but that would still not be cool.

I have nothin' against IU either. It's that prick Crean who I can't stomach.

Not sure if a complete list of visitors was listed before but CBS is reporting the following visitors.

Marquette: 2012 commitments T.J. Taylor, Jamal Ferguson and Steve Taylor will take official visits, but that’s not all. Phil Nolan, Kevin Looney, Duane Wilson, Diamond Stone, Monte Morris, Juwan Parker, Jaquan Lyle, Dennis Williams, Charles Matthews, Dominique Williams and Toby Hegner are also attending.

Seriously.... Who's going to top this?

IMO... if I'm a recruit, I'm going to be much more impressed by the attendance of those first three than I would by some wooden plaque they'll be tossing around Storrs tonight. As a fan however, I'd prefer the wood.

4everwarriors · « **Reply #46 on:** October 14, 2011, 02:06:56 PM »

Always prefer the wood. The wood is for a lifetime.

But wood only comes with talent. So I suppose it's a chicken vs. the egg sort of thing.
