Title: JaJuan Johnson
Post by: THEultimateWARRIOR on October 01, 2012, 03:19:48 PM
A Marquette commit (A friend) contacted me, Im not going to say a name, but he asked me to get the fans to make a big push for JuJuan Johnson. He asked that we show him a lot of love at madness and that he might commit if we show a lot of support. This would be unbelievable for our program to have 5 top 100 players in one class.

Posters at Madness would be cool.

@chosenJAUN

Ranked 32 on Scout

Just for you, PTM.

Let's all make sure to Twatt at JaJuan just how essential he is to this program and the success Marquette will have in the future.  Please see THEultimateWARRIOR's first 2 threads on this topic for JaJuan's Twatter name, provided to him by his father.  If, in fact, JaJuan decides to go elsewhere, please Twatt belittling comments on how he should enjoy the NIT for the next 4 years and missing out on living his NBA dreams.

Thank you.

I just posted about JaJuan Johnson last week.  He was on my flight from LaGuardia to Houston last Sunday afternoon.  He asked my co-worker sitting in the first row after first class to switch seats with him as it was the only seat on the plane that had nothing directly in front of it.  He could not stand up straight on the plane either.

How about the part that JaJuan would be the third top 100 player, not the fifth.  Or the fourth, if you count future150's ranking of John Dawson as 84th.... except that future150 doesn't rank Duane Wilson in the top 100.

I would hate to be the poor soul sitting next to you during a "We are Marquette" chant. You would think paying 120k for a piece of paper would allow you to say we on an alumni forum?

Seems like Jajuan is getting recruited by big southern schools. Doesn't seem like Marquette fits his profile but I've been wrong before.

None of us was happy with THEultimateWARRIOR's tweeting in the wake of Nunn's commitment to Illinois. He caught serious crape on this board for it, and I think the time has come when we should follow our own advice to THEultimateWARRIOR and let this one go.

The reason I presumed to edit your post is that I and probably no one else on this board can justify bringing in another guard recruit to midnight madness when at this point in time MU is both out of grants-in-aid for next year and is already heavily pushing for another guy (Embiid).  But, Buzz knows so much more than the rest of us regarding what is likely/going to happen in the next year that he could, if he was able to disclose such things.

Post by: brewcity77 on October 01, 2012, 05:50:35 PM
We aren't out of scholarships for 2013 because Otule has yet to be granted a 6th year. If he is granted a 6th year, that would take up a scholarship, but the reason we are actively recruiting Embiid and Johnson is presumably because we still have a vacancy and you never stop recruiting. We've seen the transfer numbers, even if Otule gets a 6th year, it'd be nice to have Johnson coming in the event someone leaves. And for everyone that gets squirmy about that...well, welcome to modern college basketball. Marquette has ran short rosters every single year since 2007-08. In some cases, we couldn't even practice 5-on-5 because we didn't have enough players. So if you can get Embiid or Johnson, you take them. The rest will sort itself out.

1. Duane Wilson is ranked in the top 100 of almost every ranking database. And if not he will be by the time he graduates.

2. Deonte Burton is ranked top 100 in all rankings.

3. Jameel Mckay is a top 100 player and Juco All American.

4. John Dawson is ranked in only the future 150 at #84. However, he was an under the radar guy and I wouldn't be surprised to seem him as a top 100 player in most ranking systems by the time he graduates. His stock will only rise higher now that he signed with MU.

5. JaJuan Johnson is ranked 32 in scouts rankings, and ranked top 50 in most of them.

If he signed with us it would be pretty darn close to 5 top 100 players. I know rankings don't mean much but its still something that would give MU a lot publicity for having a top 5 class, if not top 3.

By your logic, there would be 140 top 100 players if you count top JUCO's and guys that are in some random site's top 100 or guys who could be in the top 100.

That said, it would be impressive if MU has 5 of the top ~130 recruits coming in with 3 top 65 guys.

If the NCAA has an ax to grind with a school they can make an issue of it. Basically, it is a question of institutional control. MU cannot stop anybody from tweeting, but they can and they do send out the rule book to boosters. They make an honest effort to make people aware that it is a violation and barring a major blow up that is probably all that is needed. What I do not understand is why anybody thinking that tweeting a kid is helping the program? I would never contact a recruit, because there is nothing I can say to convince him to come to MU, but I can say something stupid like many posters do on this site to turn a recruit off. We all should leave the recruiting to Buzz and his staff.

As an example, UI made Nunn feel like a rock star. Part of that were the hundreds of tweets. Of course pushing the local hero, state school aspect was a larger part of it, but when dozens or hundreds of people are wooing you over social media, it's hard for a teen to ignore. Some may not like it. I'm sure with a kid like Jabari Parker it wouldn't matter. But for kids like Nunn and Embiid that seem to live on Twitter and retweet nearly every mention of their name, I find it hard to believe that they don't notice where the adulation is coming from.

You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent."

Oh, and every 12 minutes I will scream in agony, "My foot, my foot" while accustorily staring and pointing at assistant coach Aki Collins.

Hopefully this will help our cause with Jajuan without violating any big bad NCAA rules.

I watched Kentucky tweet at Diamond Stone all weekend. I watched Illinois fans tweet at Nunn. This is how kids view the support of the school. The NCAA will not do anything about it. Im not saying tweet him, Im just saying it would be nice to get a chant going or something at Madness. Duane Wilson asked me to tell the fans to do something special guys is it that big of a deal...

They're prospective student athletes (as defined in most cases - not all) until they start fall classes, also.  There is no difference between a kid that has committed to MU, signed an NLI, etc... vs. a kid who that you might like to one day have an interest in coming to MU.

If you want to gush about how much you like a player, there are plenty of places to do that, including here.  Unless you're credentialed media, if you talk directly to a prospective student athlete then you will burn in eternal hellfire.

I just find it ironic that posters want to text potential recruits, but seem equally adept at bashing recurits who commit to MU.

WTF are you talking about...he texted me...asking for a favor. He is not a potential recruit, he is a committed recruit. Please inform me how it is a NCAA violation if you are friends with a recruit? This board is a joke. Please remind me what recruit that committed to MU did I bash?

Just support the damn kid. Do you want him at MU or not... stop bashing me and get back to talking MU hoops.

There is absolutely ZERO difference as it relates to boosters.

Soooooo, back to JaJuan Johnson, I think it may be notable that he lists - according to future150 - Marquette as his FAVORITE...

It's the non-MU commits you bash.  You tweeted Nunn on twitter and bashed him when he chose Illinois.  That is the problem I have with you. 

Don't ask for proof because you have since deleted your tweet.

If we get this guy I'll be glad Kendrick picked Illinois. Big if though - lots of heavyweights involved.

I was not commenting on texting a recruit that did not commit. I was commenting on posters who were not happy with the Dawson commitment, which resulted in his father posting on this site.  For the life of me, why do we down grade our own recruits and then we pine over Tokoto and Nunn. I predict that Dawson will end up being a better player than Nunn by the time his college careet is over.

http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncbrecruiting/national/post/_/id/3914/espn-100-sg-jajuan-johnson-nearing-a-decision

"I have already visited Miami (Fla.) and Alabama," says Johnson. "I am going to Texas this weekend and Marquette [Oct 12-14], then I will think about it and make a decision."

Sounds like Marquette will be his last visit.  I hate to infer from his quote but it makes it sound like  Miami, Alabama, Texas, and Marquette are on his final list.  Also, there's not much else in the article.

Johnson cancelled his visit to Texas this weekend.  Would be great to get a verbal from him next weekend.

No reason to think he won't. I'm almost expecting a commitment by Sunday of next week, Monday probably at the latest. How that will impact our recruiting going forward I do not know, but I hope that if we take a commit from Johnson, it doesn't affect our recruitment of Embiid.

He is ours.

Question is, what happens when Embiid and Parker commit.  After that, Stone.

Can you say dynasty?

Is that supposed to be an interview with audio? All I heard was music during the conversation portions.

I was worried about TX snagging both Johnson and Embiid... at least that won't be the case for Johnson.

Miami already has 2 shooting guards in there 13 class, so I would think its MU or Alabama.

I'd anticipate Deonte and DWilson to put their arm around JaJuan today and talk about the '3 Amigos Deuce'.  Be nice if he reached out to Buzz tomorrow morning but I think it is possible he'll want to go home and talk with his family first.
