Maybe we should reach out to Ben about making his new home Marquette

This is very interesting.  As the article says, Buzz recruited this kid for Marquette, so Buzz probably liked him and he was considered Tech's best returning player.  He must have been dominated by Ahmed during summer workouts or not liked Buzz once he saw him up close.

At this point, I doubt that Wojo has a scholarship that he can spare, even considering his talents.  Can't really say sorry to Cheatham because we gave this guy a scholarship.

Probably will pick a Texas school. The article said he was looking at schools closer to home, so I would assume that would eliminate Marquette anyways.

The nice thing about this kid is that he is a proven D-1 talent. If he was interested in transferring , we have two open scholarships.

We have no open scholarships for this year. We have two left for next year and I am personally holding them for Ellenson and Haanif. I would release one for Stone.

My wrong , I was thinking of him as a 2015 not a 2014 which is what he would be as a transfer.
