Yep, and that's good for him. Was not a fit for Buzz's system. Guess he'll stick it out for GTs 6 year engineering program, which obviously does not leave a lot of time for serious Div I BB. But, his decision is hard to argue with. Best to Ben.
Sorry, guys, I just can't resist

Yup. He did not fit the system. Translation: We did not want him because he was not a switchable and only a two start.

Staff seemed to be very high on him until the visit. Not sure what went wrong, but that Marquette never scheduled an in-house visit the week after Lammers visited here is pretty telling.

Too bad, we've got a good track record with big men who have stayed for 6 years. I'll be happy with Miller or Craig though.
I hate to put too many eggs in one basket, but we could really use Stone to break the perception of MU as a guards-only school. A lot easier to convince top-line bigs to come if we had Gardner and Stone to point to.
This is no surprise as Buzz is no longer bound by the demand of Pilarz to bring in a traditional center
Good luck to Lammers. Don't know much about him.

No, no--MU is a switchables school. Listen to the Gurus on this board. We do not need Bigs. They all go to Kansas or Ky. or Duke or NC or Georgetown or Louisville or Syracuse or the OSU or Wisconsin or etc. We want switchables.

WTF?! seriously, is there anyone on this board who doesn't want a stud big?! do you really believe that?? what 'kool-aid' is there to drink? no one wants only 6'5" guys. no one wants only guards or switchables. and it's pretty obvious buzz/this coaching staff wants a big as well. do you think the whole world is against your idea of getting a stud post player? jeez!
Just like Crean before him, Buzz is recruiting bigs. Like Crean before him, he is having difficulty getting his first choices to say yes. But a year from now, assuming no transfers, there will already be two 6'9 players and two 6'7 players. As well as a plethora of big guards. A big would be welcome, but it isn't like returning to 09-10.
I think MU gets one because of one thing, potential playing time, JC kid, transfer, anything is possible. If Tory Miller does not see the opportunity or Jabari Craig then I am missing
something. Kids want to start.

Glad to hear you feel that way. If you read some of the posts, every time we lose out on a big, there are comments that we did not really want the guy, he really is not a switchable and other excuses--and those people know who they are. And if anybody offers any concerns/comments/criticisms about that, that person is crucified. So, yeah, there is plenty of Kool Aid slurping that goes on. Do not register any concerns/criticism or you are drawn and quartered. Such tolerance.
When we lose out on a big, no one has ever suggested that the reason was because he was 'not a switchable.' But, whatever feeds the agenda.

willie, the Lammers situation is actually the best case you will ever find of Marquette choosing not to pursue a recruit. Let's break down the timeline:
- August 31: Lammers visits Marquette
- September 9: In-home visits begin. Buzz visits with Cassell, Cohen, Stone, and Tory Miller among others.
- September 18: Lammers trims list to MU, Miami, and GT, showing Lammers is obviously still interested in Marquette.
- September 19: Marquette has still not visited Lammers. Buzz has been to Florida (Cassell), Georgia (Hill), Canada (Shayok), and Missouri (Miller).
- September 25: Lammers commits to Georgia Tech.
If Marquette was still interested in Lammers after the visit, wouldn't Buzz have visited? He was all over the country. And Lammers still had interest, since he cut his list and kept us on it. I won't pretend to know what happened or why MU lost interest, but if this isn't a clear-cut case of a school losing interest, I don't know what is. That said, we need to land Craig, Miller, or at least one of the other bigs we're in on. Letting Lammers get away could bite us.

But see this is the kind of stuff that got Crean in trouble sometimes. He would focus a lot on the "studs," and got in the top 3 for a number of real good players, but in the end they went elsewhere.
IMO when Buzz knows that a stud has turned the other way, he cuts his losses and moves on. He isn't going to waste time swinging for the fences on kids that he knows aren't going to come here. He went after bigs like Okafor, Goodluck, Quadri Moore, etc. But when it was clear they weren't interested, he moved on.
Maybe I am not remembering as well as I should, but how many guys has Buzz lost on when we were in the final three? Not too many. It seems like one thing that Buzz is really good at is sealing the deal versus other coaches when the kid is truly interested in Marquette. Now that might change this year, but still....Buzz knows what he is doing.

let's see, how did that philosophy work out with guys like Roseboro, Durley, and Mbao. It is always amazing how people twist the facts on the recruiting of stud bigs. Let's just cut to the quick. Law of averages says sooner or later we will land one.

Not well, but in each case we cut our losses. But it certainly did work well in the case of Otule and Gardner.
But in the larger picture I'm not sure what your end game here is. Do you want to recruit a "stud big" for the sake of recruiting a stud big? Or do you want to win basketball games. Because it is pretty hard for me to criticize the recruiting philosophy of a coach that has produced the best three year run of Marquette basketball in the last 35 years - and did so entirely with players he recruited.

Testify. S16, S16, E8. Buzz knows what he is doing. He has stated that he wants one PG, and one big in every class. This class, he has 2 PG's, two decent sized wings, and one Rodman-type big. He's working on bigs. One of them will sign and then MU/Buzz will have ANOTHER top 20 class. [/list]

Not well, but in each case we cut our losses. But it certainly did work well in the case of Otule and Gardner.
But in the larger picture I'm not sure what your end game here is. Do you want to recruit a "stud big" for the sake of recruiting a stud big? Or do you want to win basketball games. Because it is pretty hard for me to criticize the recruiting philosophy of a coach that has produced the best three year run of Marquette basketball in the last 35 years - and did so entirely with players he recruited. And just landed the #9 RSCI class of 2013.
End game is FF. IMO the missing ingredient with the rest of the talent is a stud big.[/list]
Ok. I get that. But if he doesn't land a "stud," what do you want him to do? Just get any sort of tall player? Or get the best possible option? I mean this team was just one game away from what you describe is the goal. And it wasn't a lack of a stud big that lost that game.

You got that right. If we had a couple of wings/guards who could actually make a few 3-pointers, we'd have been in the Final Four.

What????
This is the first we have heard of this Willie--why didnt you say so earlier....now we understand your position on a stud big--you think that we should get one. Got it.

MU's problem last year wasn't size, it was lack of 3 pt shooting. Make three of the contributors (say, Cadougan, Lockett, Blue) from last year high volume 40% 3pt shooters, and MU might have cut down some nets. With MU's 2pt efficiency, FT shooting, and rebounding last year, elite shooters was about the only deficiency.
