Title: MU offers 2016 SF Lamar Stevens

Team Final (Pa.) 2016 SF Lamar Stevens has just picked up an offer from Marquette.

Philly kid. Maybe he's tight with Traci Carter.

Per Pakuni's links: Villanova and Indiana seem most involved at the moment. Xavier also sniffing around.

I like that Wojo isn't doing a Lavin and just sitting on his top guys assuming that he'll get them. He obviously has backup plans.

I also like that these offers seem to come out of the blue. Wojo keeps those recruiting cards close to the vest.

To Buzz, I think switchables meant switching from the bench to other institutions.

Like Butler leaving MU for the Bulls. You keep recruiting because every player does not work out. I do think Wojo seems to be more aware of basketball IQ than Buzz was. However, if you think about in 6 years Buzz recruited two switchables that made the NBA. Butler and Crowder. Eventually Blue might make the NBA. 2 or 3 non burger boys in a six year period making the NBA is a pretty good record.

Add Buycks and DJO to the list. And switchable Wes Mathews who he "unleashed". And Lazar, who he coached up (against all odds) to a first round pick.
