Remember Malek Harris, the 6-foot-7 forward from Chicago Sandburg High who committed to Marquette before he was suspended for disciplinary reasons his for entire senior year?
The Golden Eagles did not sign him last fall while the news of his dismissal from his high school team was still fresh.
But from what I know, mutual interest remains for Marquette and Harris, a top-100 recruit. If neither party changes their mind, he;ll probably sign with the Golden Eagles in the spring or summer.

"What Mike Hunt knows" is a pretty big damn qualifier.
Got to love a four sentence blog post BTW.

You were expecting what, exactly? 14 inches of copy on this?
People here b*tch endlessly about Hunt not breaking any news.
And so when he finally does break some news, people here still find a way to b*tch about it.
My guess is Hunt "knows" more than 99 percent of the wannabe insiders here, given that he has direct contact with MU officials and the coaching staff.

But what did he break? That he'll "probably" sign? What kind of breaking story is that? He'll probably sign, but may not.
That information on Harris has already been out there.....he wants to come here and MU will take him they have room. Right now they don't.....
If Malek didn't play all year what does he do? Any info on how he stayed in shape? Improved, etc? That would be interesting to know.

What exactly did he break? "Mutual interest exists?" No kidding. That's not news.
"If neither party changes their mind, he'll probably sign.." Probably??? This is a nothing piece. No news broken at all.
And what do I expect? Perhaps a conversation with his AAU coach...maybe his high school coach...

Who was the last top 100 player we had that did not play their senior year in HS?
Erik Williams (because of injury)
How did that work out?
When did people think that Hunt was an informational source when it comes to Marquette Basketball?

I'm skeptical that the two are necessarily related.

Where is he spending his senior season?

Hunt? Hopefully in the Home. And soon
He will play AAU ball in the Spring and if he does well MU will sign him.

At Sandburg. The story (that I got from MUScoop) was that Buzz told him that if he went to prep school to avoid his punishment, MU would no longer be interested in him.
Sounds like the Buzz! Thanks

+1 if true, that is fantastic of Buzz to teach Harris a lesson in owning up to mistakes. It is also great that Buzz is going to honor the offer if Harris holds up his end. Buzz is a class act. Hope he stays here a long time.

Haha. Thanks for that. I stole that photo and will be using it going forward. Nicely done.
Unsure what happens if Harris signs--does that put us over by one? Does anybody know for sure?

Yes, that would put us over by one.
What is the cut off date for having only 13 scholarship players? How long can we be over signed?

That's not hunt though. The guy's hair in the picture is groomed.

Yeah--if Harris signs, who is unsigned?

Right now, we're not oversigned. We're overcommitted by one, Harris, who has not yet signed a LOI. The Aaron Durley and Newbill cases seem to indicate that even accepting a LOI from a player doesn't obligate a school to provide the promised Grant-in-Aid. Even the eight guys who are on scholarship currently who won't use up their eligibility this year are not guaranteed a scholarship for next year. They are all eligible to be Buzzcut, so to speak (like Mbao), since scholarships are given on a year to year basis. Louisville uses this fact to routinely cut players when they need room for a recruit they really want. So, its all very squishy.
Sometime over the summer, the school involved has to sort out who's coming and who's going and let the NCAA know who the 13 Grant-in-Aid guys will be. I don't know when that date is. Schools are not foolish enough to wait until then to let players know that they won't be coming back, so the players can look for another school. So schools usually work in all out between the spring signing period and the end of their school year. Although when really good prospects are let out of their LOI's late (due to a coaching change or whatever) a school like Louisville will drop a player mid-summer to pull that recruit in.

MU usually brings their players to Milwaukee in July. It would have to be resolved by then. So even if Harris signs in April, and so does Jarvis Garrett for instance, Buzz would have 2+ months to figure things out. But my guess is that by the time it gets to that point, things would have already been figured out.
