Title: Recruiting targets
Post by: tower912 on August 05, 2007, 04:57:34 PM

Does anyone know of a link that shows who MU is recruiting and who they have offered?   I hate working backward through the lists of recruits and looking for the magic Marquette.    Thanks.

main 2008 offers that I know of:

Iman Shumpert 6-4 G
Quintrell Thomas 6-7 PF
Frank Ben-Eze 6-10 C
Maurice Sutton 6-10 C
Josh Crittle 6-7 PF
Lance Goulbourne 6-6 SF/PF
Tyshawn Taylor 6-2 G
Jared Swopshire 6-8 SF

The 2008 class will hopefully be filled out by 2-3 guys from this list...but you never know.

While it doesn't have a database, a good place to start is the wiki .. has a couple of decent links to databases.

I believe Marquette is one of the final six for Patrick Jackson, which he just recently announced.

MU is out of the running for Jackson, actually.

here's a list we've compiled for the blog - - 2008 recruits for MU

I have a question about style of play in regards to these potential recruits:

Assuming Shumpert accepts our offer, which is of course a big if, we will have Shumpert and Williams committed.

This leaves one to two scholarships available:

Would a guy like Crittle or Thomas fit best to round out the class?  It seems to me that Crean needs another banger in this class that can rebound out of his area and become a great compliment to Mbakwe in the frontcourt?

Just curious of all of your thoughts...

need a big guy that can run the floor, if they fit that roll, then yes, that would be the type of guy to get.
