#mubb is loading up on visits tonight
Written by: noreply@blogger.com (Tim Blair)
Once in a while Twitter noticeably trends on certain topics not related to Brett Favre and sexting. With Madness upon us the Marquette hoops corner of the Twitterverse is abuzz with information about high school kids visiting The Al tonight for Madness.
IWB has been on this all day via Twitter with loads of updates (http://twitter.com/#%21/theIWB). Mark Miller is updating too (http://twitter.com/WisBBYearbook), as is ESPN's Reggie Rankin (http://twitter.com/#%21/ReggieRankin). Based on what we know, courtesy of previous reports and the voluminous updates tweeted today by this trio, the following kids (at least) will be on campus tonight for Madness:
2011
Juan Anderson, MU verbal
6'8" Mike Shaw
6'9" Trey McDonald, a big-time sleeper according to ESPN (http://twitter.com/#%21/ReggieRankin/status/27463256200).
6'8" Jarion Henry
2012
6'3" Jamal Ferguson (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Jamal-Ferguson-95016)
6'5" Trey Guidry (http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/68808/trey-guidry)
6'10" Philip Nolan (http://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=8&c=1&nid=4811242)
6'8" Malik London (http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/67499/malik-london)
6'8" Alex Poythress (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Alex-Poythress-99151)
6'6" J.P. Tokoto (http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/67469/jp-tokoto)
2013
6'1" Bronson Koenig (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Bronson-Koenig-106190)
6'1" Duane Wilson (http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/100744/duane-wilson)
Keep in mind that underclassmen are not allowed to make official visits to campus, so the 2012 and 2013 kids paid their own way. Considering the geographic diversity of these young men -- student-athletes from as far away as Virginia, Tennessee, and Texas -- the draw to The Al tonight is strong.
We'll update a consolidated list of visitors if new names pop up. Also, if you tweet please add IWB, Reggie and Mark to your follows.

12 recruits...that's a full roster! It would be fun to watch the visiting recruits scrimmage themselves at Madness.
This. Is. Awesome.
Believe me... I'm very happy JA has already verballed, but with a list like this, I wouldn't give a rat's patootie if we didn't have a single commit going into tonight.
Let's just hope that MU has no more scholarships to give come Sunday morning (even if we don't get the announcement for a few weeks).
I love this post in so many ways.
Impressive, hopefully tonight shows them all what this program is becoming and the bright future ahead for both the program as well as for themselves (provided they pick MU!)
Buzz might have to move Madness to a bigger venue just to fit all of the recruits in.
Granted I have only been a fan of MU basketball for the last 7 years but I have never been as excited for MU basketball's future than I do today. Yes, this list does not guarantee anything but man the possibilities.

Note that this list is fluid. Also, keep in mind that underclassmen are not allowed to make official visits to campus, so the 2012 and 2013 kids paid their own way. Considering the geographic diversity of these young men -- student-athletes from as far away as Virginia, Tennessee, and Texas -- the draw to The Al tonight is strong.

**Edits: Jarion Henry commentary. Added Cimmeon Bowers, Aaron Simpson, Timajh Parker, Arroyo Edwards.

That sucks about Henry. However Arroyo Edwards looks like a wonderful future PG for the Warriors.
please add IWB, Reggie and Mark to your follows.
Anyone know their twitter handles? I'm sure I could look it up but twitter "find people" function can be a pain in the arse.
Cinmeon Bowers is a 2012.
