If we dont this whole durley thing really backfired.
Huh? Jones is going to transfer, so, at this time, Durley has no bearing on Lockett coming in.
With JJ transferring, we now have two open spots.
Assume Buzz knew JJ was leaving so if he needed a spot for Lockett, releasing Durley was not necessary.
Two questions,
* How long until these spots are filled? Can you see it going past Memorial Day? Do you think one (both?) of these spots is not filled until fall?
* What are the odds one of the guys that takes one of these spots has not yet been discussed on this board? (In other words, are their any other name out their we have not considered?)
durley stunk regardless. 2 guys out. 2 coaches out. and the planes haven't even left for hiroshima yet. :o
coaching hires 1st priority, need more recruiting power.
Durley not coming had nothing to do with Lockett and everything to do with Otule getting hurt. Buzz said as much. Jones scolly will go to a transfer or a 2013
Id really like him to just make a selection though

Beautiful '84.
Yes, Lockett is definitely coming to MU.
I just tweeted it, so now he has to come, right?

Finished. Done. Final. He'll take a visit to somewhere else this weekend, though.
Yeah, lets Lockett up already.
Lockett must be weighing his best offer$...

How cynical. The truth is he is waiting for an MUScoop email campaign to prove that we really want him.

This supposed to be funny?
did you not see he was also considering Baylor after Quincy Miller declared - think there may be a reason he has not made a decision yet?

Every report I've seen from guys like Zagoria and Rothstein have said it's ISU and MU, with MU the leader.
Semester is coming to an end. His mom might not be doing well. It could be a lot of things delaying the decision.
Beyond Lockett, what about the other opening (the JJ spot)?
Who is the leading candidate for that?
suspect the decision will be announced the Friday after the semester ends.
Is he waiting to see if any spots open up at Minnesota?
Why state facts when speculation is so easy??...
Lockett stated after his visit to ISU that he would take a week or two to decide. Seeinh how he visited iSU 5 days ago.....well let the wild unfounded speculation begin. Seems what this board is best at
Lockett socket put him in Buzz's pocket already. Or something like that.
My dad said he was coming.
When's graduation for the majority of students?
I'm guessing we'll hear in the coming week.

Yeah, that makes 10% sense. Since we haven't gotten that orange yet, eating that apple really backfired. Ironclad logic.

No, he's waiting for the flood of self-congratulatory posts here about how important the email campaign was before he makes his decision.

Finals are next week. After that...?
I think he is going to Wisconsin and hasn't told anyone yet!!!!
Bo knows!

You want to get personal? Better breweries in Portland, OR than Seattle. BOOM.
Iowa State might be getting tough to beat out. Was hoping he would have announced by now.

They seem to be the go to destination for all things transfer these days.
Interesting that Iowa State has become a destination for transfers.

I think UNLV is the destination place, but Iowa St is also makling a living off of transfers.

"Marquette Warriors" in the article's tagline!

I don't like to get into the "our school is better" stuff since Trent has to make his own decision and there could be factors none of us know.
One thing is the practice facility situation. Iowa State's facility is actually off campus by two or three miles and looks to be a developed commercial building turned into a practice facility. I personally believe the McGuire Center is still one of the best in the country and it's proximity to the center of campus is a big benefit. Whether this is a big factor remains to be seen and I think it's probably just one thing to consider and the facility itself is the only thing I think you can compare without too many opinions.

If we're reading tea leaves, the fact that one of the tags on this story was "Marquette
Warriors" seems to be a great omen to me.
Damn it , MU82 beat me to it!
