Oso planning to go pro
Akanno was supposed to be a savior. Nobody had seen a player like Jamil Wilson since D Wade. These are rough quotes from articles and posters who got to go to practices. Genuinely hope the kids decent enough to be impactful in two years.
Akanno got COVID early. I am going to hope that we get an Anim level contribution.
Interestingly, of all the guys I remember sitting out since Wade, Sacar might be the one we heard the least about. Guys like Fitzgerald and Froling were going to set the world on fire (along with others already mentioned) but Sacar is probably the best sit-out producer we had since Wade.
And how many red shirt players have been anointed out of this world? Im gonna temper expectations
Keeyan has good ball skills and a decent looking outside shot. Skill wise, he's ahead of where Oso was last year.The way Oso has defended in the post has been the biggest surprise. Very aggressive in ball denials even though he gives up size.
rowsey but that was a transfer sit out not a traditional red shirt.
So I know Oso is a RS freshman this year w/covid, but did anyone hear that tidbit from the game that he entered school with Junior level credits. Maybe I heard it wrong, but I thought that's what they said. If that's the case he'd be on the path to graduation this year. Will be interesting to see if that plays a role in his following years.
I remember when he was being recruited hearing he was so intelligent that he could have gone to Stanford or Princeton on an academic scholarship had he not been awesome at basketball too. So the fact he has this amazing, super unique pedigree and is from Arizona and still picked Marquette is amazing. He’s also extremely hard working and team oriented and could be a catalyst in taking Marquette to another Final 4 before he leaves.
That he picked MU is largely due to Stan Johnson’s efforts.

IRRC, Markus also was involved.
And, Markus was also here because of Stan…..
