Golden Boy, can you tell us more, who is MU recruiting in 2016, is there anybody good in Wisconsin? Out of State?
Adam Kanter.
Just like Diamond Stone was a 100% certainty to come to Marquette hey!
So, one from 2016, to match the ones from MU has from 2015 and 2017? ;D

Is there any talent in 2016 from Wisconsin? I haven't really heard any names come out.

Here's Rival's recent 2016 rankings. Came out a few days ago.
Cant give out full name but is an in state player, has Vander ties to him.
Quote from: GoldenBoy16 on September 19, 2013, 06:11:31 PM

How is that possible? Buzz and Vander hate each other. Buzz selfishly wanted to keep Vander around but Vander knew it was just to keep Buzz's salary higher than Vander's for 1 last year, so there was a huge argument in the Al's weight room which ruined their relationship. The only way there's a tie to Vander is if it's an enemy of Vander's and he comes and does everything Buzz tells him to, including stay 4 years when really he only needed 2.
Also, when can we expect an announcement? Are him and Stone announcing together?
Quote from: GoldenBoy16 on September 19, 2013, 06:11:31 PM

Um.... so no full name? What about just a first or last name?
Has Buzz even offered any 2016s yet?
By his so hard to follow clues, he has to mean Courtland Cuevas from Memorial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wJdmua3ZPE
I see a spot up shooter with a decent handle. Not the most explosive athlete there, but he is only 14. 6'5/6'6 at 14? I sense a 6'8 spot up switchable by the time he arrives at MU.
Not another switchable! Willie is going to be upset
Quote from: brewcity77 on September 19, 2013, 07:29:00 PM

Only one that I know of. Jayson Tatum, 5 star switchable out of St. Louis.
I really hope this turns out true, it will give GoldenBoy some credibility and I can actually believe his boast about Mr. Stone
As of right now we'll only have one scholarship available in 2016, so it will be interesting if we fill that spot up this early.
Buzz just killing it in Wisconsin recruiting right now. Hope Goldenboy is right about the two in-state guys he's informed us of!
Cuevas wears Wade's number 3. Coincidence?

Still not answered, but I'm pretty confident Buzz hasn't offered any in-state 2016s yet. 2016 looks like a fairly weak class compared to recent years for Wisconsin. I'd be a little surprised if there's anything to this.

So you just parroted this from Mark Miller on IWB's site huh?
The lack of offers I was confident of when I first asked...Mark did confirm the weak class, which is pretty easily seen by the lack of nationally ranked kids. Miller did confirm Cuevas isn't at a MU-level yet.
Ok guys, Cause I would just make this up

You're right, Stone committed a few weeks back and you called that 1 too.

Well you've yet to predict anything correctly here, so you have 0% credibility until something happens. So until it does, expect the skeptics.
I wonder if Thon's middle initial is G.
That'd be awesome.

You started a thread that was bound to lead to speculation. There don't seem to be any current Wisconsin 2016s that fit the bill. Considering you aren't providing any additional information, what did you expect?
The only thing that makes sense is Goldenboy16 is Diamond Stone....
I didn't say diamond would commit a few weeks ago. I said he would commit eventually. And I can't wait to rub it in everyone's face when both reports are right!!! Thanks!

Mark Miller is right, no sophomore is at a MU Level until they get to MU...Phillip Flory is not ready to play at Marquette and is not a MU Level player.... Cuevas is a big-time talent ranked 37th in the country by worldhooperfederation. Definitely expect Marquette to heavily recruit him after HS season. From what I know he epitomizes Marquette basketball.. He is an excellent student, works hard and has a lot of heart. I've seen him play during aau season has Kyle Anderson like abilities.

Nice attempted massage of Miller's statement, but I think that it is clear that Mark Miller is saying that
compared to his peers in the class of 2016 Cuevas is not yet showing the level of talent that would interest Marquette over others in his class. I'm not saying that Mark Miller is correct because I don't know. But, I do think that Mark Miller has earned quite a bit a credibility in this area.

Sam Hauser? But, what would be the Vander connection?
So we are within a week of the basketball season starting. Any updates on this mystery class of 16 recruit?
How about Trevor Anderson? Hauser's teammate at Stevens Point or is Anderson Wisconsin bound. Hope not,
this kid is dynamite. Have to remember is only a sophomore this season. Hope we are not guard heavy.
Looks like a prediction gone wrong....

Ok good news. He said there is about a 75% chance he commits in about 2 weeks.

But he didn't make a prediction. He said that the 2016 recruiting class would start in a couple of weeks. He didn't give a name. It's been a couple weeks, and now it's moved back a couple weeks and to 75%. In 2 weeks the guy will be announcing in a couple of weeks. At some point, unless we don't get a commitment in our 2016 class and just skip it, he's bound to be right.
I'll go on record as saying that within 2 1/2 years Marquette's 2016 recruiting class will start. I'll stick to that.

+1. He shared some information (for which I'm grateful). And when circumstances changed he explained that and how they had. Don't want to believe him? Fine. But why beat him up over it, especially when he still may be 100% right?
I think MU only has 1 scholarship available in 2016, whoever it is, it better be a 5 star this early for a commitment. Sure lots can happen before then and now, but why take anything
less than 5 star this early. Am I wrong about the 1 schooly in a couple of years?

There's nothing to believe in yet. You've neither been right or wrong with your predictions so we're merely waiting. From another perspective you would see that it may be a bit hard to believe yet. If you end up being right then people will start view your posts as more credible. So keep coming around, we just gotta be patient.

I'm guessing that if you go back to that September post it will now show 33 posts. All of the personal info is updated to prior posts when a change occurs. For example, If you change your avatar, it doesn't just appear on your posts going forward it also shows up on prior posts which were originally made using the old avatar.
I realize that it would be hard to believe but I don't make stuff up like this. I am trying my best to give you info of what I have been told by various sources. If I could tell you a name, I definitely would. I was not supposed to tell anyone about this, but I put it on here because I thought you guys might appreciate it. Obviously I was wrong, as I get ridiculed everytime I post something. And the family issues that I made up? His mother is sick. So no I didnt make this up, and I can see how you would be skeptical, but there is no need to constantly put me down.

Trust me, everyone here hopes you are right, even Wadesworld. There are just some who have gotten bitter and cynical because of others who have claimed to have the inside have been wrong. Once you are proven right you will have every right to call out every single person who put you down and make them eat some major crow. Also, from then on you will have a lot more credibility in your predictions

There are two schools of thought when someone without a record for predictions brings good news to the board. One, give a person the benefit of the doubt, and hope that they are on to something, or, two, reflecting on past disappointments, ridicule the person until what they say is shown to either be true or not. Hey, if it turns out to be true, you can always say that they really didn't know anything, they just got lucky.
I have chosen to go the first route. When people are exposed as not really knowing what they're talking about they tend to go away on their own anyway.
Even if he is making it all up (which I do not personally think he is) his posts are still 10 times more interesting then the most of the posts here that have nothing to do with MU basketball at all. Just on this thread alone of the last 25 comments I think about 5 had any info or comments about MU basktball, and this is one of the more intersting and informative threads.

Exactly. Remember the guy who posted that Dominic would play in the NCAA tournament game against Mizzou? People laughed and hounded him...and then Dominic played.
There is absolutely no reason to ridicule someone who claims to have inside info. If you are skeptical, that's fine. But the problem with calling them out is twofold...one, the information might very well be good information and you are the one that looks like an ass, and two, it prevents people who have inside information to share it.

This. There's plenty of time to ridicule if the info proves false. Why people would want to discourage those who may have inside information to share about MU basketball on an MU basketball board is beyond me.

Welcome to the Internet.
I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but considering that Marquette has very few offers out for 2016, very little room in that class at the current time, and the prediction is getting delayed, surely you can understand the skepticism? Outside of Jayson Tatum (not an in-state player), how many other 2016 offers does MU have out there? Honestly, I can't remember any.
Like others said, we all hope for the best and would love to see a quality 2016 commit. But I glanced through your posts and you haven't established a track record of getting things right. A couple months ago, I asked the guy that knows more about HS basketball in Wisconsin than anyone else in the world and he didn't think there were any 2016 Wisconsin players that are at the Marquette or UW level yet. He's very rarely wrong on these things.
I hope you can understand my skepticism when a guy I have complete faith in is telling me something that is very different from someone without any proven track record.

Skepticism is probably warranted and there's nothing wrong with that. However, I (and I believe from other posted comments, others as well) don't see the point in attacking someone every time they post and occasionally even when they haven't just because one is skeptical about whether a prediction they have made will come true.
BTW, I have never known you to do this and I am not accusing you of such behavior, just clarifying my point of view.

You're like mr prediction though. You can't fault another person for doing the same.
It's not so much the prediction nature. If you have information and choose to be very, very obscure about it, you are going to be face questions. If you aren't prepared to answer those questions, maybe you shouldn't have shared in the first place. When I offer information or predictions, I try to only do so when I know there's enough information at hand that I can back up what I'm saying. There's a ton of stuff I have heard but don't say because I can't substantiate it.
Quite simply, if a guy is going to put something out there, you need to be able to defend it and if you want to be obscure, you need to have thick enough skin to not pout every time someone questions you or asks for clarification that you won't give.

Well I'm gonna back Goldenboy as the last time I shared info (Malek Harris case) everybody hated on me and I know that in certain instances you need to be somewhat vague so you aren't identifiable as the guy who leaked info.

That's where my last paragraph comes in. It's the Internet, haters gonna hate, and you can't get butthurt when they do.
There is a difference between someone who is skeptical because they have different information from a different source (like brew does with this mystery 2016 recruit), and people who are skeptical for the sake of being skeptical.
Is there no one on this board who can figure out who Goldenboy is referring to? Come on! He's given clues! He's a top 2016 recruit, with Vander ties and whose mom currently is not doing well. Who is he?
