Hopefully they didn't share a piece and pull an old "Dukie Twokie"
They may have shown up at the same time, but I can't imagine them seeing Ellenson at the same time. That would be odd.

Add it to the demand thread, pal.
I'm very curious about the dynamic between Coach K and Wojo.
Coach K knows he is almost done at Duke, and he obviously cares about the university and its basketball program a great deal. As a result, I would assume the Coach K has an idea of who he would like to see replace him when he retires. If that person is Wojo, he would have a vested interest in seeing him succeed at MU. Could that lead him to influence certain recruits to consider MU? Is that ethical? Is it counter to the spirit of competition?
Obviously this is all purely hypothetical speculation, but it is interesting nonetheless.

How can they make visits, I thought this was a dead period?
Ellenson may not be good enough to cut it at Duke....if Coach K doesn't have the schollies, maybe he gives a glowing Wojo recommendation to Ellenson

Here what is happening. Wojo and K are visiting Ellenson on the same day but not the same time. Each are pitching their respective schools/programs. The timing was so K could also see his good friend Wojo on the same trip.
I wouldn't be surprised if we find out Collins of Northwestern (which Ellenson is also considering) was in today as well or at least drove up so the three coaches could go to lunch together.

How am I wrong? What are you threatening to do if Wojo commits the sin of not landing Ellenson and every other top state prospect?
Neither Buzz nor Crean nor any MU coach before them landed even a particularly high percentage of them, yet you apparently are still a Marquette fan. So what will be the repercussions from atk13thst if Wojo MUST land Ellenson but doesn't?

Doughnut vs. donut
The dictionary-approved spelling for the ring-shaped cake made of dough and fried in fat is doughnut. The shortened donut has been around since the late 1800s, but it wasn't popularized until the late 20th century, when the successful American doughnut chain Dunkin' Donuts made it ubiquitous. Today, writers outside the U.S. still favor doughnut by a wide margin. Donut appears about a third of the time in published American writing.

As I reside in the US, and certainly wouldn't want to be mistaken for a foreign writer, I will stand by the colloquial spelling originally used.
I also will refrain from issuing you a citation for your omission of the registered trademark in the word Sharpie®.

And all along, here I thought DONUT was spelled because people didn't want to pay for "unnecessary" letters on their neon signs!
Back to the visit, I bet Coach K told Ellenson that he could be part of his Farewell Tour and be one of the last players to ever be coached by Shesheffski.
i haven't looked, nor do i know if the schedules for the next 5 years are out yet, but does marquette even have duke on it's schedule over the next 5 years? if not, i don't see why the polish k wouldn't be going on a little fishing trip to up north wisconsin/rice lake region with his fishing partner, wojo and what do ya say we pick up a high school hoops game after we filet both the walleye we caught in the slot limit allowed due to the over spearing of the lakes by our native americans, if mikey k has any thoughts of when he may retire, no doubt he wants his star pupil to have success at his first job ready to take the reigns to cameron indoor

Nope. "Mikey K" has "star pupils" all over the NCAA. He's not secretly planning his retirement, spending the start of the recruiting period for Marquette rather than himself at Duke, and wasting time fishing. If he wanted to do some fishing with Wojo he wouldn't be doing it in North Woods, WI at a time of year there still may be snow. The guy is like 70, he'd much more likely be found in, well, North Carolina basking the sun with his free time.
This is absolutely silly. Right up there with people thinking Doc would quit his job as one of the 2 best coaches in the NBA, living in SoCal, making $7 million/year to come be Marquette's AD to convince Shaka Smart to coach Marquette or that Dick Bennett would come out of retirement to become the AD of the school that is the biggest rival of the school he took to a Final Four in order to convince his son to leave the program he just coached to an ACC regular season and tournament title and had a #1 seed in the NCAA Tourney.
Somebody in another thread asked if all posts should be screened through me first. With these kinds of posts (and it's not just you suggesting this, "rocket surgeon"), that would be quite a good idea. Could you imagine Duke, Wisconsin, or any other college basketball fans reading those things? If I were a fan of any other program I would be rolling around on my floor historically laughing. That is not how college athletics work. None of it.

Wojo follows Ellenson on twitter. That could mean something..
Something to keep in mind. There are other bigs besides Ellenson and Stone at the top of the 2015 class.
Blue Devils Digest @BlueDevilDigest Apr 10
If Duke is looking for 2 bigs in 2015, I could see Stone and Ellenson emerging as major options. Stone already has a Duke offer.

The problem with your reasoning IMO is that it assumes that Coach K wants to be replaced by a coach that he is not confident can do the job without his help. Presumably when Coach K retires, he'll want to actually retire and not hang around holding Wojo's hand. Which if he had to do when Wojo was at Marquette, he'll certainly have to do when Wojo is at Duke.

Yeah, he may just want to walk off into the sunset.
Also, I'm not suggesting that Coach K would "hold Wojo's hand" at MU to make him successful. I'm assuming that K wants Wojo to succeed, and wondering how much he would be willing to support Wojo at another school. He probably wouldn't do much, but provide moral support and advice when asked. However, I wonder if there is a scenario where Duke decides not to continue pursuing a recruit, and K points him in the direction of MU. I am honestly curious if a coach would do something like that.

Probably not. The egos involved with these kids are ridiculous. I don't think many of 18 year olds want to hear, "Well, you're not good enough for us, but Coach Wojo up at Marquette is a really great guy!" I think the recruit would likely hate on Marquette moreso after that than give Marquette a good, hard look.
Now if Duke didn't extend an offer to a kid who wanted to go to Duke and the kid asked Duke's coaches how Wojo is as a coach and a guy I'm pretty sure they'd put in a very good word, but I doubt that happens much, if at all.
