Also, according to earlier reports:

Glynn Watson (brother of Demetri McCamey)
(Never mind. Bullseye just tweeted that he's going to Purdue's madness instead)
Roosevelt Smart
Prentiss Nixon
Malek Harris (maybe)

Isn't Mckay going to be there also? I saw him tweet that he was pumped about it so I kinda figured he would be there. Having him, Wilson, and Burton there to talk to all the other guys is a huge plus.

Nixon and Smart are both guards. Harris is a power forward.

I say if all the recruits are sitting in one area we get the whole place to start chanting "future warriors" clap clap clap clap clap. That would be a cool scene.

According to Bullseye:

"6'11 2015 C Tyler Jackson will attend Marquette Madness tomorrow night. One of 5 IL-based recruits who will be doing so."
(Parker is not one of the five they're listing)

Mckay is on his way back to Milwaukee right now....he will be there.

Isn't Mckay going to be there also? I saw him tweet that he was pumped about it so I kinda figured he would be there. Having him, Wilson, and Burton there to talk to all the other guys is a huge plus.

Obviously Looney isn't going to be there tonight, anyone know if he's attending another school's madness?

I'm not sure about that. He hasn't announced where he's going to be. My guess is if he's going to be at a Madness, it'll be ours. Not like he's going to suddenly at 2:00 in the afternoon on the Friday of Madness going spur of the moment decide to go to Kentucky, or Duke, or Kansas. I'll be curious to see if he ends up at the Al tonight, but would be more surprised by him being anywhere else than him being here.

At least six Chicago area prospects will be there tonight, according to Illinois Prep Bullseye: Paul White, Malek Harris, Prentiss Nixon, Roosevelt Smart, Tyler Jackson and Joseph Toye.

Enough of a pipeline for you, or do you need every kid who's ever dribbled a ball in the greater Chicago area to come out?

Blurb from CBS Sportsline on MU MM visitors:

JaJuan Johnson is headed to Marquette this weekend, and he could be closing in on a decision in the next couple of weeks. Miami (Fla.), Alabama and Texas are also in the mix for the 6-foot-5 scorer. He will be joined on campus by 2014 prospects Paul White and L.J. Peak, plus 2015 star Diamond Stone.

Edit: Didn't Johnson drop Texas off his radar?

Johnson cancelled his visit to Texas last week and it was announced that both decided to move in other directions at the time. Seems like it's between us, Alabama, and Miami now. A commit this weekend wouldn't shock me.

Alabama and Miami arent exactly top of the totem pole (although we arent either) but MU is far better than both. If he's going to a school between us and those 2 because he wants to win then MU is the easy choice.
