Kolek planning to go pro
I dont know why but I just have this feeling that there is going to be some sort of announcement at Marquette madness on the 11th. Maybe not a commitment but maybe at least an announcement date.
That would be a big no-no at a University event.
Haha you guys are funny.Henry is going to Big Blue Madness. We heard it from him, we heard it from Big Daddy, there's no reason for him not to go, enjoy himself, inform himself, and then make a decision. His decision will come shortly after he goes to Kentucky's Big Blue Madness. Even if he decides on Kentucky, I would bet against him announcing his decision while on his visit (which is why I don't think that if we don't hear about a commitment during his visit to UK that it necessarily means we have him locked up). His family is very familiar with the recruiting process. They understand it's easy to get caught up in the moment. They will take their time, visit each of the 3 finalists, and make a decision based on what is best for Henry and his family.And heck, even if Henry were to decide he wanted to come to Marquette going into the weekend of Marquette Madness (again, I am 99.9% sure he won't), I would home Marquette University and the basketball program would be bigger than putting him up on a giant screen announcing that at Marquette Madness. Marquette is bigger than 1 high school senior.
You forgot one vital piece on information though. It was said odds are he isnt going to Big Blue madness because Rice Lake homecoming is that weekend. Not saying he wont reschedule but he could be going down to Lexington sooner rather than later. In regards of putting him on a giant screen at MU madness, I have no problem with that and I dont think Marquette would either considering hes a top 10 recruit and number 4 in ESPN. Thats kind of a big deal, especially since you have kids already enrolled at MU recruiting him hard. Marquette may be bigger then him but a talent straight out of high school like him hasnt come around in a very long time.
You have your dates mixed up. Someone mentioned he's not going to MU's Midnight Madness on Oct. 10th because the Rice Lake Homecoming is that weekend. The UK Big Blue Madness is the following weekend on Oct. 17th.
Ah ok, I expect a late October announcement then. Right before the start of the season.
I remember hearing somewhere that he wanted to give a verbal before the high school season starts, which is very soon.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
We were in Matthews top 3 correct? If he did get Calicut I would like to see us put out hat back in the ring.
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.
For those still hoping that Henry commits before Big Blue Madness...this probably kills ithttps://twitter.com/SteveJones_CJ/status/517013112877510658Steve Jones@SteveJones_CJHenry Ellenson's dad confirmed he'll officially visit UK on Oct. 17 - date of Big Blue Madness
Why do we think Ellenson's father knows anything? If my father knew half the sh1t I did in high school he would have hobbled me.
He should go. Great experience. Then come home.
You don't seem to understand that Marquette would likely be committing a big recruiting violation if they set up a scenario where he announces at Marquette Madness.
Scenario: Ellenson attends Marquette Madness. Three TV stations, Hunt and an online reporter see him there. The five reporters gather around him, ask him questions and Henry says whatever he says ... maybe even (although almost certainly not) that he is committing to attend Marquette.That would be perfectly legal. Marquette will have set up nothing.But you would be right to say that probably is the only legal scenario.
