Marquette's not done recruiting for 09?

[nyg]

Keep Roseboro and Otule, they will be great practice players and not complain about playing time.  Another four star recruit, good grief, what is going on here?

Obviously, if we can get another four star recruit, that would be great.  But, someone would have to go.  Who would it be?  Liam was the easy one to figure out.  I don't know who the next one would be.

There is a rumor that he could reclassify to a 2010 by going the prep route.

[dwaderoy2004]

we need another PG in 2010 before another 4/5.

My guess is that McMorrow frees up a scholarship for painter. Mbao's scholarship was already covered by something else. The question is what? Before Mbao signed Buzz had been quoted as saying he may sign up to two more players, so something else must be happening. I wonder if it has to do with the open assistant coach position? Could the father of a Marquette player become an assistant coach and then the player would not need a scholarship? I do not know the rules, but find the idea intriguing. Buzz seems to consider all possiblities(no stone left unturned) so if it is possble he has thought of it. Imagine UW fans uproar if we made Maymon's father an assistant coach. Imagine the effect on Van der Blue who is good friends with Maymon and therefore must know Maymon's father. Maymon's father did play basketball, so he must know something about the game. Now I do not really believe this will happen but the thought of the Badger's reaction to this especially if Van der Blue came along would be very enjoyable.

Man... that's taking a pretty big leap.

From how our team looked last year, I'd have to say that Coobie not playing  any longer is more likely than whatever it is you just suggested *boggle*

Dude, are you for real? This scenerio won't play out. If another recruit is signed, rest assured someone won't qualify freeing up the needed schollie.

There is another option.

So before the kid's even stepped on campus, you've already relegated Roseboro to the status of "practice player"?
Call me crazy, but I'm going to give the kid a year, maybe even two, before deciding that's he's essentially a glorified walk on.
But at least you know him well enough to say he'll be satisfied with that role.

[4everwarriors]

There is another option.

OK, hit me up with it.

[GOMU1104]

OK, hit me up with it.

Look up at the post by Buzz4Prez...


Regardless...the playes and coaches know with 99% certainty (a "Trevor" accounts for that last 1%) what is going on with the roster.

[redbirdwarrior]

Check CCAP.  Buzz will not have Maymon's dad coaching.

[Marquette84]

There is a rumor that he could reclassify to a 2010 by going the prep route.

Then he would be a 2010 recruit along with Bowen and Clark.

Which leaves open the question as to whether or not we are done for 2009.

Crean still pulls his crean.

Nah, don't you read his Twitter?

Joanie made him stop pulling his crean. Something about too much would make him go blind.

This isnt the first place I've heard Painter has a good chance of commiting to marquette.  Can I have the link?

I don't have a link or a written source.  I heard it from somebody who has some inside sources on Marquette basketball (it is not Marquette employee though).  Like I said, it is not 100% for sure, but it is likely that he will do so.  If it turns out to be false I apologize.

Just out of curiosity, where did you hear this from?

[VwArrior1]

It was in another forum somewhere.  I'll look for it and try to post it asap.

In a comment below the article in the JS about changing the injured player FT rule, somebody stated that he would sign with MU.

He has been to VT, NCST, and he is at Maryland this weekend and a  few articles are saying he is done with Visits and he will pick between the 3 schools. 

Does anybody know if he is going to visit MU?  Or is it possible he would pick us without visiting?

[77ncaachamps]

Just throwing this out there...

I know MoAck has one year of eligibility left, but is he in any position to pull a "Kelly Lam" - graduating with one year of eligibility left?

They both were transfers so I figured the year sitting out should have made him on the graduation track...no?

I bet it won't be this kid: 

 "When I was at (The Montclair (N.J.) Kimberley Academy), Coach Crean was at Marquette and they sent me my first big-time letter," Irving recalled. "He went to Indiana, and the relationship developed. They have showed me a lot of support and love."

This could be one of the dumbest posts I have ever read. Maybe you missed the news that Tim Maymon is an ex con and former drug dealer? You want to see the Badgers reaction to something like this? I would hope the reaction from the Marquette community put to rest such an idiotic idea before it ever got off the ground.

The NCAA's reaction would be much more interesting.

Virgina Tech took a commitment from a Power Forward today which should eliminate them from Getting Painter.

why, has having 7 recruits stopped us from recruiting painter, including 2 PF's?

[bma725]

There's really only one PF recruit coming in, Roseboro.

Maymon may be listed as a PF by some of the services, but he's really more of a 3.
