Caleb Swanigan to MSU
« on: April 10, 2015, 09:48:37 PM »
If I remember correctly he was at the same MSU recruiting as Henry . I think MSU is not done recruiting and there may end up being a transfer or two out. Maybe we can pick up one from them.

I hope we're past waiting on Michigan State castoffs.  Henry was the first MU win in a recruiting battle that I can remember.  I hope that that's the start of a trend.  May Michigan State cull MU's transfer list!
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
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.

They'll have to battle Iowa State.

Not sure what this means, but Swanigan was a bit different than others in this class in that he didn't reclassify from 2016 until ... ~11ish months ago, IIRC.

With Deyonta and Caleb in the mix... still some room for Schilling... (and Costello?).. Valentine, Eron Harris, McQuaid as off guards/wings.. yeeesh. Scary team.
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Will they be better than they were at the end of this year after losing Trice and Dawson to graduation?

Overall better, I believe yes.

Will they PERFORM? Tough to measure up to what was done this year. A hot Trice and BJ combination (nh) was great at its best.

But they'll have talent all over the place next year... PG maybe a ?

Definitely more talent. Could be a scary team by the end of next year.

I'm skeptical of Michigan State. They remind me of us after the elite 8 season. Talent all over, great recruiting class coming in, but a very questionable point guard. Tum Tum may have an elite name but I have seen nothing from him that makes me think he is a point guard that can lead a top 25 team. He either needs to imporve or they need to find a graduate transfer PG

Narins plays just like Derrick Wilson, went to the Duke game and thought I was watching MU, 2 talented scorers and the rest were awful.  No wonder they are after Winston hard.

They will figure out a solution to the point guard issue. I agree Tum Tum is not a viable long term solution. Unfortunately I think they will get Winston , who would have been a good get for us.

They will get Winston. I'm 95% sure of that. But that doesn't help them this season. And next season they lose Valentine, Forbes, and Costello and Swanigan and Davis are both potential one and dones. If they had a PG next season, they would be one of my favorites to make the final four.

Shame we weren't one of the contenders. It'd be a nice body to have given our striking out with transfers.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Well, when you have the chance to go to a Big 10 bottom feeder, you gotta go for it.

I'm guessing Cal.  He considered going their before and now can team up with Jaylen Brown and Ivan Rabb.  (Davon Dillard is there too.)

Man, what a terrible class for Cuonzo. We were definitely too good for him  ::)

How do we know who turned down whom? Cal doesn't have a rich hoops history, but there are plenty of reasons why it's  a better job than MU.

Nope, the whole thing doesn't smell right with this kid...

Committed to MSU out of nowhere when everybody said Cal was a done deal.  Doesn't sign his LOI but tells all reporters that he is 100% committed to MSU.  Decommits only weeks after his surprise commitment to Sparty.

His legal guardian is an NFL agent and Purdue alum that seems to be managing everything for his client son.  Now there's speculation that he is leaning to Purdue, headed back to Cal, or maybe filling out Kentucky's uncharacteristically underwhelming class.

I am glad that we aren't involved in any of the above at this point.

Good to know. I wasn't suggesting that I wish we had ended up with him over Wojo.
While Martin is building a killer class at Cal, those same players wouldn't have automatically followed him to MU. For one, there's no possible way Rabb comes to MU.
