Title: Recruits at Madness
Post by: TAMU, Knower of Ball on October 03, 2013, 11:42:24 PM
Madness is almost here!!!!!!!!!

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere but I looked and couldn't find one. Does anyone have a list of all the recruits who will be at madness this year?

I'm sure there are others, but the list includes:

Ahmed Hill
Barrett Benson
Marial Shayok
Sklyer Nash
Tory Miller

The "J" key on the computer keyboard in the sports information office is already starting to show small cracks, so they have to back off on guy's with names staring with J.

Sounds like PT thinks we should be very excited about the recruits at Madness.  I am still not the most apt at reading the twitters, but sounds like something might be brewing.  Here is the exchange (in chronological order for all of you that prefer such a thing):

Evan Daniels had a write up which says Hill is only waiting for visit to MU prior to committing.  He is saying that MU is solidly in the lead for his services.  He still has a visit setup for the Hoosier Hysteria event but he has previously stated that IU is off of his list and that he was still going on that visit.  If Hill feels that Madness love there is a very good chance he will commit.

I don't know if Miller is in the same boat.

Hill actually cancelled his trip to Indiana. I'm not referring to the story from weeks ago. He cancelled his rescheduled trip yesterday.

When a recruit is choosing between Marquette and Missouri can we try to not use MU? Saying MU is solidly in the lead means nothing. It's pretty obvious what you mean but I've seen it elsewhere and thought I'd do a quick PSA

* Now you need to "make the bunny ears tight so they don't fall off". Then make another "X" using the "bunny ears", slide one "ear" under the "X" and pull tightly.

I hoping that Miller, Hill and Shayok all commit. However, I cannot believe Buzz is essentially putting all his eggs in one basket, by having them all attend MU madness as their official visit. MU madness overall has been a bust with our recruiting. A bad production could result in us losing all three.

I'm going to timeline this one, because it's had me confused as well...

.
I could be totally wrong, but the way I read this is that the kid probably has his mind made up and will announce a decision after Marquette Madness. However if Madness doesn't go as hoped, he keeps Indiana in the loop and hasn't burned his bridges there.

I feel 80% confident Hill will pick Marquette, and really believe he's using Marquette Madness to confirm that he's making the right choice. If things go to hell when he's here, he will reschedule the Indiana visit. Maybe I'm totally misreading this (It is mostly info from Twitter) and maybe he's already decided on Mizzou but wants to give Marquette one last chance while keeping Indiana in the mix in case it's too close to call, but this one has a good feeling around it.

We should cancel the whole thing.  Cohen and Harris may be there.  We risk decommits.

Post by: brewcity77 on October 05, 2013, 08:41:06 AM
I think the staff has high hopes for Madness. That was always Miller's date, but both Hill and Shayok seem to have been deliberately scheduled for that same time. While I understand reservations, this could be a unique Madness. How often are you able to get that many committed recruits from various years to work to try to help seal the commitment? Harris, Cohen, Noskowiak, and Flory can all help the staff's cause. And having three guys, 2 of which seem like very good bets for Marquette (Hill and Shayok) could lead to a great result if Miller is on board.

I think we see at least one and possibly two or three commits in the next two weeks. If we don't get the third, the staff moves on from Miller and pushes for Satchel Paige, a JUCO, or other three-star big men to fill that slot.

And brains. This was his problem at Marquette. All signs point to a kid not coming to Marquette yet Crean continues to desperately try to convince him the relationship isn't over. Then he's left having recruited nobody else in case he didn't get that 1 kid. Otherwise he creeps the f*ck out of a kid, showing up at a kid's house in a limo while the kid is sleeping or Tweeting about how much he was thinking about him over the weekend and he ends up losing out on someone he had in the bag.

My understanding of the situation is the same as Brew's. IU is still on the list only if MArquette doesn't pan out.  He didnt cancel but rescheduled.  It is also more than just a 2 hr showcase as he will get to see the campus, meet all of his teammates, etc.  Remember Hill is from Georgia and has not seen campus yet and in my mind it makes sense to get a feel for where you are going to live for four yrs prior to arriving.

I am sure he does. Hill has come to know Buzz well and he seems to have been Buzz's top priority for the better part of the past year. I feel like Madness is the effective sealing of the deal. If it goes well and Hill still has faith in all Buzz has told him coming in, a solid visit will just assure him that Marquette is the place and Buzz is the coach for him.

Is this true?  What's wrong with MM and why wouldn't the program invest in making it better. Is it not well attended?  I've never been to one and I can't understand why it would not be great considering the awesome  fan support at the school and city.

Women's team first intros pumped up speech and scrimmage. Then Men's similar activities-- depending on the coach you may see karate outfits, boards being broken, atvs being ridden,etc. Usually some MU nbaers and a dunk contest. There may even be a singing contest if all goes well.

Very very low.

When Wade came he was recovering from an injury.

When everyone came the NBA was locked out.

I'd guess the best bet is Jimmy 90 miles south but even that seems unlikely.

When a recruit attends Marquette madness he witnesses a huge production that takes up coaches time, so the coaches do not focus on the recruit as much compared to a recruit that comes in on a different weekend where the coaches can pay attention to the recruit. When you bring in three at once it further dilutes the individual attention given the recruit. It also is a gamble that the three recruits get along. As they say one bad apple can spoil the whole bushell.

Disagree with all of this. The coach isn't going to be with the recruit 24 hours a day for the entire weekend anyways. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the coach didn't see the kid outside of the gym and maybe a meal here or there at all on these trips. He has plenty of time to hand out quality time to all 3 recruits, no issue.

As far as the huge event, Buzz doesn't do anything for it. He shows up and talks but he's certainly not spending time planning what is going on and he's not spending time in the spotlight at Madness on an ATV. He spends much more time walkin through the stands shaking fans hands than anything. I would be beyond shocked if he wasn't sitting with each recruit and any family the recruit brought with him during some of Madness.

Let the recruits get just a bit of a taste for what playing at Marquette is like. Then tell him 4x the fans fit into the BC for home games to come watch them play. Have all 3 talk about the big things they could do together and recruit each other. "If you commit I'll commit." I'm guessing Buzz has some sort of ideas as to what recruits will get along and what won't, which is all part of recruiting kids and putting together a program.

I'm not so sure about that. The coaches have a set amount of time they can spend with visiting recruits regardless of what weekend it is. I suppose we'll see this weekend. From a number of reports, it sounds like Hill and Shayok may be close to decisions. If things go well, we can discount the "Madness is a drawback" idea. If we lose all three, maybe there was something to it. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that Erik Williams and Vander Blue were committing on the heels of Madness visits. I'm optimistic this is the year we get back to that.

Those sunglasses were very 80s Robocop.
If he was truly thinking of the future and went with the theme of his then school, he should've donned these:

Nothing today from Coach Mullins on Harris....Malek mentioned a week or so ago that he was excited about going but obviously that was before the latest news.

Bulls have an Oct. 12  preseason game in Rio de Janeiro,  so I'm guessing it's a no for JFB.

Bulls play in St. Louis on Monday Oct. 7th before leaving for Brazil, so keep your fingers crossed for a JFB appearance.

Zero chance JFB is at Marquette Madness the night before playing in Brazil.

More excited that Tory Miller on Jerry Meyers blog that Corey Evans feels that Tory will commit to MU.  Need at least one big body next year.  Then you add Stone, that gives you
the 2 big bodies you need to go deep into the tournament.  His column has Hill, Shayok and Miller committing to MU, I wonder if that happens then, does Harris get left out.  I have
a feeling that Buzz will not sign him in the early period, and sees how it works out for him in school.

Not really stories.  247 does predictions and for the 3 players, they're overwhelmingly Marquette (Except Miller):

Corey Evans ‏@coreyevans_10 8 Oct
Sounds like Friday's Marquette Madness will be loaded headlined by 2014 prospects Marial Shayok, Ahmed Hill, and Tory Miller.

Corey Evans ‏@coreyevans_10 8 Oct
Others who could also be in attendance for Marquette Madness include Diamond Stone, Charles Matthews, Cody Schwartz, Nick Noskowiak (1 of 2)

Corey Evans ‏@coreyevans_10 8 Oct
(2 of 2) Philip Flory, Roosevelt Smart, Barrett Benson, Skyler Nash, Sam Hauser, Trevor Anderson, and Matt Heldt. #mubb Absolutely loaded!

If all these folks are coming, we are putting a lot of eggs into this basket. I hope we have a plan to knock madness out of the park this year.

Given the recent 2014 Offer to 7' Satchel Pierce, what's the prediction of the final make-up of the 2014 Class?

Cohen- Yes
Harris?
Hill- predict yes
Shayock- predict yes
Miller- Yes
Pierce?- Backup if Miller says no

I think (I hope) we sign:
Cohen
Hill
Mayok
Miller
Pierce

All in the early period.  Miller is more of Big Body PF type that looks to be more of post PF then Face-up.  But we still need a true Center for 2014 so if we offered I think Buzz takes both.

Or a spring signing anticipating someone transferring/going pro if Harris doesn't make it to campus
