Bacon passes the sniff test.

He'll make everyone else better.

I hear that he is a crisp passer

Sure, but does Grandstaff pass the stiff test?

But I heard he is a bit of a ham on the court.

If you're asking will he stiff us, the answer is yes.

Why don't you shoo, shoo.
There! How do you like your name being made fun of?

So you're saying he's not a ball hog?
If 4-star Nick Noskowiak is the #53 rated player in the country, why doesn't he have a better list of offers? No disrespect intended to Creighton, Iowa State, Northern Iowa, UWGB and UWM, but is it because he committed to MU so early that some teams haven't even bothered?

You answered your own question. Well done.

He's not, but sometimes he acts like a hot dog on the court.
Ok, I've had enough.
You guys are just a bunch of hams today.

Well, someone is going to bring home the Bacon.

When a kid commits as a sophomore to MU and calls it his "dream school." How many coaches are going to miss dinner with their family to fly to Wisconsin to watch him play and try and change his mind?

If you look at the interested schools that didn't offer at the time he committed to MU it included Bucky, Florida, Iowa, and Minny, all solid high majors. Seems to me Buzz just got to him before the others had a chance.
Would Diamond Stone be the highest rated recruit MU ever got?
Did they even have recruiting rankings like this in the Al years?
Toone was top 5 if memory serves me.

Street & Smith was the big dog back then for recruiting info (still have all the old mags from the '70s) and I know Bernard was a 1st team pre-season high school all-American.

I have a very strong memory of Toone being ranked second in the country, I believe that he is still MU's highest ranked recruit, ever. Bo Ellis was high also, I don't remember how high. I have no idea where Chones, Lucas, and Meminger were ranked, but they had to be near the top, I'd think. Oh, and Butch Lee would have been high also. Doc Rivers might have been top 20.

That's awesome. Pull the mags out. Give us the answers.
Oh, and if you've got the early 80's mags, please verify that Marc Marotta was a top 100 recruit for me. IIRC, he was ranked somewhere around 60, but BamaMarquetteFan won't believe me w/o proof.

Actually, Toone was 2nd team pre-season. Had some decent guys on 1st team - Darryl Dawkins, Bill Willoughby, Bill Cartwright, Kyle, Macy).
In '80, Doc was 1st team and in '81, Duane Johnson was 2nd team, Walter Downing 5th team and Mandy Johnson was 6th team.
As far as Marotta is concerned, he was on the list of the top 200 players after the first 6 teams. It wasn't broken down more than that.
What was interesting is that in '81, 10 of the top 30 recruiting classes went to Independent schools and even a junior college was in the top 30. Times change.
Bacon is legit. Reminds me of... JAMIL! (Tonight's version.)
His game screams MU.
Was one of my favorites to watch last spring/summer.

Earl Tatum and George Frazier were very highly rated. Kerry Trotter was the last McDonald's All-American we signed straight out of high school.
Sorry to hoop this thread but figured it was as good of a place as any. Henry Ellenson's brother Wally left the Minnesota basketball team today (staying at the school for track). Not sure I would read a lot into it but it's interesting to note as people have speculated about the two brothers playing together.
