Is 2014 recruiting over, or is there somebody else in play?
As far as I know, CoWojo has not offered any new 2014ers.
There are still 4 open offers left over from the previous administration:
Malek Harris: 4 star 6"7 200 lb SF from Chicago (definitely not coming here)
DeAngelo Allen: 3 star 6"7 190 lb SF from Dallas
Travon Bunch: 3 star 6"10 212 lb C from Racine (heard his academics may send him to prep school)
Jakeem Yates: 2 star 6"10 200 lb C from Charlotte
Whether or not CoWojo will honor those offers is an entirely different conversation.
There is also Jared Terrell: 4 star 6"4 225 lb SG from Boston. Buzz was in on him but he went to Oklahoma State. Terrell recently decommitted. CoWojo has yet to reoffer.
I'm sure CoWojo is looking still. He might be talking to transfers. But judging on where he's been spotted, it seems like he may be focusing on the 2015 class now.

Yeah, he seems really focused on a big 2015 class with the news coming out this week especially. Honestly, there isn't a whole lot out there to add that we need...which is size at the moment.
CJ Turman is available. 6-8, 240 lb PF. Was released from his NLI by Tennessee.

Any quality 2014 signing would be a gift. Going to have to go with the team we have.

Seems like a big man transfer in the same situation as Carlino would be the best bet for an impact player. I'd like a 2 year transfer big man. 6'8 bruiser type is what we need now.
3-star Tariq Owens was also recently released from his NLI by Ohio. No mention of any Marquette interest though. Visiting Seton Hall

Yates is so skinny he'd get lost behind a lamp-post.

So, Wojo just has to find a 6'8 bruiser type who just happened to graduate in two years. Not sure that that's doable, but if you know of someone....
We also just offered Terance Mann.
Here's an interesting name I came across that could be a potential graduate transfer...
Eric McKnight of DunkCity fame. He was originally at Iowa St, then transferred to FGCU. I think he fits the bill of what we need in the post next season. A bruiser and rebounder with experience, think it would make sense for a guy like him to start the year at the 5, and then we'd get a boost when Fischer becomes eligible.

Apparently had some behavior issues, but it looks like he is getting pushed out of FCGU. No idea what the situation is/was, but maybe a change of scenary and a shot with a high major might help the kid out...

Plenty of time on the clock. The calendar is young.

Who is for from the class of 2015, not 2014.

Recruiting better character guys than this still resulted in Buzz getting offered the door, so I wouldn't hold my breath.
