A few recents tweets on him...
@coreyevans_10: Gotta say, Jarvis Garrett does pass the looks test, yet senior is a constant producer and controls the flow of every game. Worth HM risk
@ASlater247: At #NPSI , Jarvis Garrett was named MVP (24 pts) of the ND Prep/Mt.Zion game. One of the top available PGs.
http://t.co/Eil8Zofuie
@AdamFinkelstein: Jarvis Garrett played through stomach flu & had 6 second half 3pt'ers to lead Notre Dame over Mt Zion. Says he down to Marquette & URI.

Are you sure MU hasn't even offered?
Is he related to Diante Garrett?
Is that the ND prep school Mayo went to?
So Marquette is already over by 1 scholarship and still recruiting for 2014? Maybe Juan Anderson is going pro.
RhodyHoops @RhodyHoops
URI vs Marquette for Jarvis Garrett. Marquette has no available scholarships and hasn't offered. URI staff working it hard. #npsi
Lets see, DWil, Dawson and Duane Wilson next year and Nick N. the year after. Why would a pg even consider coming? Again, don't see it.

Weird quote...did he mean to write doesn't pass the look test - yet is a constant producer??
Interesting we are looking at a PG - and given the several different mentions of us being involved - gotta believe we are. Could be interesting to see if Nick N makes his way to MU if Garrett were to sign too? Think Buzz probably at this point knows he HAS to have a really good PG on the roster at all times to be successful...and would err on the side of signing one too many...and having it work itself out, versus getting caught with his pants down.
Regardless - with both Dawson and Duane in the fold - highly doubt Garrett or Nick N will sniff minutes until their Junior years...

Why do we need more point guards? If someone is in fact leaving then I suppose it is worth taking him but if not then why do we need another point guard? Noskowiak is a top 60 recruit who CAN in fact shoot the ball so what gives?

As far as I am aware we have not officially offered him. We may have expressed interest and there would be obvious reasons why he would love to come to MU.
But at this point, I am unaware of an official offer and given that even without Harris signed, we do not have a scholarship to offer.
Guess we very well may know for sure in a week or so.

This year, yes, a better point guard would help, but next year we have Derrick and Dawson who will hopefully both be improved, and don't forget a healthy Duane.
Perhaps Buzz has been told not all his point guards will be around next season.
Maybe Garrett is using MU's interest as a chip...

And if his committment means someone else is planning to leave, so be it. It happens, and there is a lot of young talent on the way to replace whomever it happens to be. We just need to survive as fans until they develop.
When I consider who might transfer I look at who is not getting playing time. I do not think Buzz wants to play players that are going to transfer. Until recently Dawson was not being used much, which could be an indication. JJJ was not being used much. Taylor was not being used much. Recently Anderson has not been used much and adding in he almost transferred last year he has to be considerred a possible transfer. Although he plays all the time, maybe Derrick Wilson is tired of all the criticism and probably would not be happy not starting as a senior, if Duane Wilson takes it spot. Mayo has always been a question mark. There are only two players that I am 100% confident that they are returning and they are Burton and Duane Wilson. I suppose I should add JJJ to the list of players staying, because there is no way he would of started the last two games, if Buzz thought he was leaving. Now all the other players are not going to transfer, but one or two transfers should not be a surprise.
From Eric Bossi via Prep Showcase analysis (December):
Schools on the hunt for a point guard in the class of 2014 don't have very many good options. Three-star floor general Jarvis Garrett is certainly one of the good ones. A native of Milwaukee who now attends Fitchburg (Mass.) Notre Dame, Garrett was easily one of the best point guards on display Saturday.
A solidly built 5-foot-11 floor general, Garrett is very strong with the ball and was making good decisions. He defends with toughness and what really opens things up is the fact that he is a very dangerous pull-up jump shooter. His shooting keeps defenders on their heels and almost at his mercy when he is hitting them.
Garrett finished with 25 points and four assists while controlling the tempo. He's yet to take any visits and currently has offers from UTEP, Rhode Island, Creighton and Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
"I'm just looking for a place that feels like home," Garrett told Rivals.com. "Somewhere that I can hopefully play right away and somewhere that plays fast and that plays tough defense."

Not trying to stir rumors, but does anybody know if any of the juniors can graduate in spring?
I have never understood the idea of a JR transferring, then sitting out an entire year, to play one year. Seems to me after your soph year, a decision needs to be made.

We are overcommited by one at this point. But this will all be sorted out after the season and before the late signing period which is the earliest that Harris (or someone else) can sign an NLI anyway.

Has there been anything to suggest that Malik is still in the picture? Whether it's Harris or Garrett, seems like they assume (or know) someone is leaving. Hope the fact that it's a PG doesn't suggest inside knowledge there...unless they know that De Wilson has realized he's a better fit for linebacker on the club football team.

The NCAA has clarified that you do not have to graduate to be eligible for the graduate student transfer waiver. But.. hopefully that waiver goes away soon. I think it will.
Lockett was a rare case in that he was ready for grad school in 3 years.. most of the guys who transfer for a final, immediate year of eligibility have been at school for four years (and sat for one for one of any number of reasons).

I guess I should have used teal as I was trying to get back at Jaybee for making fun of my misspelling of "Malek." My previous statement was that it looked like he was going to matriculate given his talks with buzz and telling the twitterverse how he "had a great talk with my future coach buzz"
I have no inside knowledge, but my guess is that Malek is still committed because Buzz anticipates that one of the following will happen:
Juan will be tired of Wisconsin winters and transfer
Derrick will realize that he is the worst PG ever and retire from playing basketball
Mayo will wear different color shoes from the rest of his teammates and have to be cut for the obviously bad attitude that displays
Taylor will transfer because he's bitter about having to go though rehab before getting playing time this season
JJJ will transfer because he was only the 5th most utilized freshmen during Buzz's tenure (+dreadman has talked to him already)
Burton will transfer because he was only the 6th most utilized freshmen during Buzz's tenure
Dawson will transfer because he was only the 7th most utilized freshmen during Buzz's tenure
Duane will transfer because he was strongarmed into redshirting by Buzz or some other "there's more to the story" conspiracy theory
Luke will transfer to Wisconsin because he wanted to go there all along but was going to be blocked by Big Bad Crean
Hill will switch to Mizzou because some old farts tweeted at him that he should
Cohen will get out of his LOI because he doesn't want to be at a university that has stereotyped native americans in the past
Shayok will get out of his LOI because he's tired of Scoopers misspelling his name
Pierce will get out of his LOI because he'll realize that "Buzz can't develop bigs"
Sorry, couldn't resist poking fun at scoopers and some of the rumors/statements that have been thrown around here.
All kidding aside, my guess is that Buzz anticipates 1 or more departures, which a coach should always prepare for. He's keeping Malek committed, but not signed, so that if/when that departure happens, he has someone on the back burner. Same reason he's still recruiting players in the 2014 class.
Malek's on the outside looking in. But he's the first one in if someone decides to leave.
If I had to bet, I would guess that Juan Anderson decides to transfer closer to home for real this time. Some comments by teammates and Buzz make me think that he is homesick again. But again, all speculation, no inside information.

I thought the reason that Shayok was going to get out of his LOI was because of how bad we spoke about our last person from Canadia.
Did Pierce sign a LOI in the early period or is he a commit at this point? ESPN.com shows him as unsigned.
I am sure Pierce has signed. I think the most likely player not to be here is Juan. He seems only to be happy if he is starting. My impression is happier starting and playing 5 minutes than coming off the bench and playing 10 minutes. I do not think he can expect to start next year and therefore he will transfer where he will start for one season.

I like the energy Juan brings, but he really isn't much of a high-major player. If he thinks he can be a real player, he should transfer to a school that can give him real playing time as a senior.

I'm damn glad Robert Jackson understood the idea of a junior transferring and then sitting out an entire year to play one year. Because if he hadn't done just that, we almost surely wouldn't have been a Final Four team in 2003.
There are all kinds of reasons for all kinds of decisions. It doesn't happen often, but those who do so always can find reasons to justify it.
He's a Milwaukee native and Corey Evans (a scout I personally trust) seems to love him. For what it's worth, here is a recent mixtape:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M60ydbJ5nac
At about the 1:40 mark he literally brings two different defenders to the gym floor because of his jukes. He's got athleticism, can shoot, SUPERIOR court vision, and can dunk despite being 5"11. Seems like he could be a great addition for the Warriors.
I still don't see it yet, but Jerry Meyer and Matt Gravett are rarely wrong. If he commits to us on February 9th, let the transfer rumors begin!

What's interesting is that MU has *not* issued a press release about Pierce signing. They have done this for every other player who has signed an LOI since I can't remember when.
However Buzz publicly commented about him via twitter. So what's up? I doubt Buzz made a recruiting violation. Did he sign a grant-in-aid versus an LOI? (The former is rarely signed but it basically a non-binding agreement that would allow him to leave for elsewhere.) Or did they decide simply not to issue a press release?
It's very odd to say the least.

Man I hope you have inside knowledge, and are right on this one! The rumor I heard floating around coupled with the latest info on Jarvis coming here has me nervous.
I have no inside info on Juan and Derrick, but those thinking they will transfer I think are stretching it. I just can't see them transferring for their senior yr, but who knows. Derrick will be the returning starting PG. Juan should expect a lot of PT knowing Buzz likes veteran leadership, and we are losing 4 seniors that play a lot.

You also have to look at it from the other school's point of view. Would you give up two years of scholarship for one year of Juan Anderson? I suppose you might if you were a low major or maybe a mid-major. R Jax was definitely good enough for that kind of investment.
Those juniors are going nowhere.

Because this year hasn't proved that options at PG are good...
If he commits, means that I feel Malik is gone, and of course, somebody else is gone. Really it would be hard for Buzz to know exactly who wants to leave as he is playing the freshman and
Steve Taylor now. Duane Wilson would not have redshirted if he was not coming back, he would have left by now and do you think he wants to sit out? Dawson told by his father is happy
at MU, which leaves Johnson and Burton. Johnson is the only possible transfer in my book. The juniors are staying unless Buzz cuts them which after 3 years of service would be harsh and
on-called for unless they want to leave. If anything, it should be interesting.
I would be more than stunned if JJJ left. I think he's in for huge minutes next year anyway.

G-Mayo/Hill/Duane
PG - Derrick/Dawson/Duane

I haven't seen anyone overpower JJJ this year...just because he has a skinny frame is overrated in my opinion. Reggie Miller was a string bean even throughout his NBA career and it didn't seem to hamper him. JJJ has a great first step and just explosive in general. Once the game slows down for him the sky is the limit...Weight added or not, and if he adds too much weight it could negatively affect him in my opinion.
Quote from: BCHoopster on February 03, 2014, 11:59:51 AM
Not sure about that, as Amed Hill will get a chance to start as his body is college ready, JJJ really needs a year in the weight room.
Buzz has shown he's going to give returners every opportunity to start over younger guys and especially freshman. If Hill is a stud he'll get minutes, but it will JJJ's spot to lose going into next year. He'll have a much better understanding of Buzz's system and another full off-season in the weight room. Really would be surprised if Hill starts over JJJ.
Quote from: The Sultan of Syncopation on February 03, 2014, 12:12:37 PM
My guess for next year:
C-Taylor...eventually Fischer / Pierce
F-Burton / Shayok / Anderson
F-Anderson / JJJ / Shayok (JJJ will get the bulk of the minutes)
G-Mayo/Hill/Duane
PG - Derrick/Dawson/Duane
Spot duty: Cohen / Shayok
And Steve will get additional significant minutes at F when Luke becomes eligible.
JJJ seems quick and explosive on offense but has trouble staying in front of his man on defense. That is what will keep him from getting significant minutes going forward. Right now Jake Thomas is a much better defender than JJJ which is why Jake gets more minutes despite his shooting woes.

If he commits, means that I feel Malik is gone, and of course, somebody else is gone.
Or one of the incoming guys doesn't qualify. No inside info, but you never know how the roster will shake out.
There could be a host of things that happen between now and the summer. I have a feeling they'll work themselves out.

I haven't seen anyone overpower JJJ this year...just because he has a skinny frame is overrated in my opinion.

Vander Blue was never terribly big either. As frozena said, JJJ just needs to be better on the defensive side, which will come with time.

I agree, JJJ just needs time to mature, learn to play D. Most of the freshman never are ready to play D, even the first time I saw Jimmy Butler play, I saw a few players blow right by him. My
thoughts were this guy can not play, was I wrong. He learned to play D, that is why he is in the pros. His offense is a little better than average for the pros. D is really good.

Reportedly, Buzz was going to offer Garrett after seeing him play. But given that ND Prep's game yesterday was postponed due to bad weather, perhaps that's what prompted the kid to push back his decision. The game was rescheduled for today, but who knows what Buzz already has on his docket.

I would also guess that if he were eventually going to decide to come to MU, that Buzz would ask that he holds off saying anything until the season is over. As it stands, someone that we expect to be here isn't going to be...another verbal only makes that situation more sticky.

UMass has offered his sub-6 foot replacement.
Luwane Pipkins simply was taking the bait.
The Bogan junior isn't shy, and he wasn't thinking about the target his words were drawing on his back.
Asked after a December victory over defending Class 3A champion Morgan Park whether he thought he was the best guard in the city, Pipkins explained why he believed he was.
He spent the next seven weeks proving it.
Five feet 10 inches with a chip on his shoulder, Pipkins is the leader of a Bogan team that has clawed its way out of Simeon's and Morgan Park's shadow.
His 27 points, five steals and four assists per game, along with his 90 percent free-throw and 46 percent 3-point shooting, vaulted the Bengals past Simeon, the four-time defending Class 4A champion, and Morgan Park for the Public League Red-South title.
For his accomplishments, Pipkins is the Tribune/WGN-Ch. 9 Preps Plus Athlete of the Month for January.
"I just answered the question," Pipkins said. "I'm not going to say another guard is better than me. I feel great about saying it. If I said it, I meant it. Most people say I was cocky about saying it. (Curie's) Cliff Alexander told me I was cocky. He asked a question, I answered it.
"I'm glad it's out there so people can come at me. I want you coming at me. I'm going to win, though, because there is no other guard like me.
"Other guards aren't as strong and quick as me. Defense-wise, I can stick any guard in the city."
QB or not QB?
Pipkins is from Englewood, right in the middle, he said, of rival gangs. He has been left alone since grammar school out of respect for his basketball ability, he said, and perhaps the size of his older brothers. College, he hopes, will be his ticket out of the city. He dreams of getting his father out of the neighborhood. His brothers were good football players in the Public League, and the speed and toughness so apparent on the court can translate well to the gridiron. Even after establishing himself as a legitimate Division I prospect last winter and again on the AAU circuit, Pipkins decided to play quarterback for Bogan last fall. His reasoning belied his typically bold words. "I played because I wanted to get stronger, and I wanted to have options for college in case basketball didn't work out," Pipkins said. Bogan basketball coach Arthur Goodwin compared him to Michael Vick. Goodwin also predicted he would last only two or three games. That part was not an exaggeration. After running for cover in consecutive games, Pipkins ended his football career.
"Luwane was in shape from playing basketball all summer, and conditioning is our thing," Goodwin said. "Those guys didn't do that. They didn't do the things they needed to do to be ready to play football. Luwane was out there playing suicide. Every time he touched the ball, in two seconds they were right there."
"It didn't work out," Pipkins said. "We didn't have a line, but it wasn't just that. It was like everyone was loving losing. I can't stand losing."
Something to prove
Pipkins did not put Bogan on the basketball map.
Goodwin brought the notion of winning with speed and toughness to Bogan in the 2007-08 season, and the Bengals quietly won the Red-South title in 2009-10 — the first of four consecutive seasons in which Simeon won the Class 4A title.
Despite his Englewood roots and grammar school reputation, Pipkins chose Bogan instead of Simeon. In hindsight, all parties involved believe it was the right call.
Offensive freedom and defensive harassment highlight what Pipkins does best, and he no longer is burdened by trying to draw a scholarship offer.
DePaul, Loyola, Illinois-Chicago, Bradley and UMass have offered, and a number of high-major coaches will be watching closely on the offseason circuit.
"I just want to go to a school where I can play and it would fit my playing style," Pipkins said.
The competitor in him is head-to-toe, though, and a high-major offer is recognition of greatness.
Yes, he wants to use basketball as a vehicle to "experience a new life and take my daddy out of Englewood too."
Being the best guard in the city is nice, but it's already proven.
Being ranked behind Marian Catholic's Tyler Ulis and Stevenson's Jalen Brunson is stuck in his craw.
"I always want to be the best," Pipkins said. "They are giving more hype to Tyler Ulis and Jalen Brunson than they are to me. It is stuck in my head; I know I can be better than them if I put the work in."

I'm guessing the other poster mentioned the other guard because he thought some might find the story interesting. I guess I don't see what the harm was. If you don't want to read it, there isn't a gun at your head forcing you to read it.
Maybe we should have segued into another Derrick vs. Dawson post, though. That would have been timely and full of interesting new debate!

Why should we care about a PG that doesn't play here and another one we aren't interested in?

Thanks for posting irrelevant information to threads. It is very informative!!
Two inane threads are started today by KenoshaWarrior and Dreadman24, and these are the posters you call out?

Sultan, you and I are usually reasonably on the same page. But you're wrong on this. Who the hell made you moderator of the entire site? If you can do a better job than the actual moderators, start your own effen site.

I'm not the moderator nor have I complained to the moderator.
I just figure if you are going to post irrelevant information, I might as well post irrelevant commentary on said information.

You're actually going to pick a fight with a reasonable poster over this. Great. See ya.
Seems like Garrett may have headed back to Milwaukee based on some of his twitter posts. I can tell he definitely wants to play for MU but the roster needs to be sorted out. If Harris doesn't come to MU, does that mean we have an extra space for Garrett?
Quote from: LittleMurs on February 09, 2014, 04:51:05 PM
Would we have heard if someone told Buzz that they are leaving? Would we have heard if there is a frosh with questionable grades or an incoming frosh who may be headed to prep school? No, no, and no. So, why worry?
At schools like Louisville oversigning by two and even three is not uncommon. I guess the question then is do we want to be like Louisville? Wait, who's the national champion?
Lots of ways to skin the cat. I'd rather not be like Louisville, but it has nothing to do with oversigning.

With Harris we are oversigned by 1. In order to make room for Garrett we would need two to drop out...which is possible. I've heard transfer rumors about every single returning player and decommit rumors about most of the recruits. I don't think any of them are worth the paper they are written on...but you should always be recruiting.
Anyone know how Garrett played when Buzz saw him on Sunday?

I would typically go through a members posts to see where they get their "information", but in your case I would want to rip my eyes out if I had to read all of your posts again. So, please remind me, where have you heard this? Or is this just a hunch you have.

Why? Because Ahmed Hill is coming? If so, bye JJJ. I'd rather he stay but if he's too worried about PT next year rather than having the confidence to stay and force Buzz to play him because he's that good, then maybe we need someone else. Again, I want Trey J to stay and think he'll be very good for MU but why would he go?
And I'm with Merritt. If JJJ stays, Dreadman goes.

What good does it do to put him on ignore if you guys keep responding to his silly posts?

I learned long ago he doesn't provide any information. Just random posts. And, for some reason, they're all pretty trolling in their tone.

It's tough to imagine what would happen but it's always a trend with our team. Buzz will never have a problem filling the roster though.
It is what it is

All of Dreadman's knowledge comes first hand, but he can't reveal that or the team will find the hole he drilled in the locker room wall.

I don't think Dreadman knows anything. However, I wouldn't be totally surprised if he left. I love Buzz, but his playing rotations are crazy and it has to be very frustrating for certain players. It also has to chap his a** that a D2 caliber player gets most of the minutes at sg. That being said, I think he wants to be here...his bench enthusiasm is great and he looks engaged.
Please stay JJJ

If you're so confident, put your money where your mouth is. If JJJ is on the Marquette roster at the start of next season, you leave Scoop until JJJ leaves Marquette.

I think he wants to be here as you mentioned. It would bother me too if I were a top recruit and a "D2 caliber player" was outplaying me in games. Jajuan looks like he is 16 years old. He's still learning and growing. If he stays, next year will be his time to start shining.
JJJ has started I believe the last three games. Hope Buzz is not doing that to appease the young fella in order to keep his ego intact. JJJ is a nice looking athlete with a load of potential when he puts on some upper body strength and would love to see him stay. But Ahmed Hill is the real deal folks. Thats why Buzz went down to see him play in just a regular season game, keep the MU thing going on with Hill.
I'm with Litehouse on this one.

I doubt anything has changed so significantly where Buzz believes JJJ has warranted the starting role. I think you're right in that he figures JJJ values starting and it keeps him happier and more involved. Hope JJJ and Ahmed will be able to get time with Todd next year. With all these new wing players coming I wonder how Juan is feeling.

Juan needs to transfer... It would benefit all parties. My guess is this is Todd's last year.

Regarding the former, I think it would be extremely valuable to have a good team player on the bench who has gone through summer workouts, the ProAm, etc. for three years. He doesn't make waves if he doesn't play. He's a hard worker. No harm at all having Juan stick around.
Regarding the latter, I wouldn't bet against it.
JJJ may leave. But from everything I have heard, he loves being a Golden Eagle and isn't planning on going anywhere. He knows the starter's job is his to lose next season.
Literally the only thing I have heard to the contrary is Dreadman. He is trolololololing
I hope JJJ stays. I think he and Hill have the potential to be a very potent duo down the road.
Should be plenty of minutes to grab for JJJ, hope he stays.
So, has Jarvis been offered yet? Or, do you expect him to be offered soon?

I don't think he has been offered yet, but Buzz can play his cards real close to his vest. I mean even if an offer was made, and he accepted, I wonder if we would hear anything before the end of the year.
I assume we would hear about both the offer and commitment before the end of the year if it happens.
Three new predictions on 247 Crystal Ball of Garrett to MU.
http://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/Jarvis-Garrett-at-Notre-Dame-Preparatory-School-60142/Predictions
I really hope that Buzz offers soon. I don't know if Garrett is any good, I just want to start a new "who's leaving" thread.

Well, Buzz delayed his commitment almost a month. It's hard to hold a guy back from solid offers with "I'm sure we'll be able to work it out in spring"
JJJ must be reneging on his transfer announcement!
