So his April 3rd tweet about his brother now becomes a lot more relevant
-
Should chick and I go to the hat ceremony?
-
The tweet I referenced for the curious:
@Markushoward11: My brother is so gifted man @JordaniHoward can't wait till April 3rd

I'm a little nervous :-\. This kid would be a great get for us, so I really hope his relationship with his brother or his friend at Balylor don't give another school the edge.
-
Central Arkansas wouldn't be my first choice. Personally, I would never base my college decision on where my brother was.
Guess some family bonds are stronger than others.
-
Hmmmm, don't like that the ASU image is larger. Also, we've lately been targeting other guards. Wonder if he verbaled to Hurley and given the Duke connections Wojo already knows.

Perhaps I'm just conditioned to expect the worst, but I think the uptick in recruiting other guards is very telling.

I see the Baylor Bears Insider changed their prediction on 247sports to Marquette on March 17th. Not much stock in that obviously. How accurate are the other guys on there? Meyer, Finn, and Miller?

As has been indicated here before, he's a big Baylor homer so when he switched away it was considered quite telling.
Let's start with this n Remember that step one was reclassifying to '16. So that appears to be certain. I'd say we're better than 50/50.
-

Yup. If he goes there, then a Top 50 recruit can play against Sam Houston, Houston Baptist and Incarnate Word.... as opposed to Nova, Xavier, Georgetown....... Just don't see it happening. Probably be the highest ranked high school kid ever to the school, heck, maybe the Southland Conference.
-
And remember all that chatter about what a threat USC was going to be? Yeah, right. I believe in my heart he wants to be a Warrior. We'll see soon enough. Best to him whatever he decides. If anybody sees any prediction movements, please post.
-
His brother is a video maker as well and is making the video a video on Markus' commitment. That's the talent he was talking about.

Not a big deal but..
'League me' will be making the video. Which is his other brother. He said Jordan Howard (Central Arkansas) was talented

Whoever made that MU image should be fired.

I remember when College of Charleston landed the #28 overall prospect in 2011 per Rivals, Adjehi Baru.
Always seems odd. Would really suck if Markus followed in those footsteps for MU.

Should have clarified. He tweeted tonight that his brother would be making the video. I would copy/paste but I'm on my phone

+1000
-
Howard now up to 83 percent for MU on 24/7 - latest on April 1.
-
Look at the 4 photos he made, the MU one (aside from the one with his brother) is the one with the most in depth school spirit and logos.
I think it's MU for the win
-
Does anyone here really feel confident about Howard picking MU? And could he live up to the expectations folks on the Scoop board have for him?
Can't say I'm too confident he'll commit to MU. Would love to be wrong.

Yes and yes. Does that mean both will happen? No.
-

1) Pretty confident, yeah.
2) He can really shoot it. Very good handle. Don't know if it's a function of Findlay's system, but it's hard to tell how he is defensively. There's a very real chance MU will have to play a lot of four guard sets next year. Markus can certainly help them.

Very confident. If nothing else, consider the other options...
1) Arizona State: He committed to Stan Johnson, who left. Didn't bother taking an additional visit though he could have.
2) Baylor: His lead recruiter left to go to Arkansas State. Basically the reason he would have committed is gone.
3) Central Arkansas: Okay, if he goes there, he does, but it's still the 11th best team in the low-major, 29th ranked conference in the country.
As far as how he does, we'll see. I'm sure someone else has a better comparison, but he reminds me of Scottie Reynolds, Not really a point, can score reliably at multiple levels, likely a better collegiate player than pro.

If he is anywhere close to Scottie Reynolds if Marquette lands him the next 4 years are gonna be a lot of fun. I wouldn't jump on the Reynolds bandwagon yet, I think people forget how much of a stud that kid was. One of my favorite ever college players.
-
Speaking of Nova guards, I see a little bit of Brunson in his game too.
-
If one looks at the picture and considers the ASU display, things are obvious.... Markus to MU.

Yeah that's what I think too. The effort to point out all of the MU stuff in that tweet really shows pride in MU.
-

I am not arguing he will go there, but if he is as good as people here are saying Central Arkansas would probably be the best team in the conference instead of the 11th best team.

Good call MuEagle, I didn't see that tweet you were definitely right.
Win or loss, atleast we know tomorrow already

Bingo. I feel great about our chances. ASU and Baylor make little sense now. More than anything, I think his relationship with his brothers is so strong I could see them/Jordan getting excited about making a cool video that is NOT a commitment to UCA. Just seems like a solid family who has each other's best interests in mind. Can't wait for tomorrow.
P.S. I watched the end of Findlay Prep's game and Howard looked devastated - easily the most bummed on the team about losing. Could lead you to believe he knows it was his last HS bball game.
-
It sure looks like MU is struggling a little bit in recruiting, I think Howard is really a big get for them right now. Hauser, Howard and Rowsey can make up for the loss
of HE, still need one big somewhere if possible. More concern for MU, is how they are recruiting for 2017 with the loss of Fisher and JJJ. Will need 2 bigs next year
and at least one small forward. I do not think there is much in Wisconsin next year. Obviously, a few in 2018.

Was watching the dicks sporting goods high school basketball championship on ESPN today. They ran a graphic of the top five Junior point guards in the country. Howard was listed as fifth, number 32 overall.

The addition of Markus and were sporting another Top 20 class. Add a 4 star big when HE announces and it's borderline Top 10. That's more blue blood than struggle m

Wojo is definitely on the right path. It's a process...
I sure hope Markus is wearing a Marquette hat in a video tomorrow!

Stan sure has been gold. Nice desert pipeline he's developing.

Nothing groundbreaking here but I asked Jerry Meyer for his thoughts...
Bill Maus @bmaus1090 16m16 minutes ago
@jerrymeyer247 How confident are you in your Markus Howard to Marquette CB pick? Think he'll reclassify to 2016? Announcing tomorrow.

How on earth does it look like MU is struggling in recruiting?
Lets see, he was after Damion Lee, Shonn Miller, Darrell Willis, Bruno Fernandez, for starters, he is really trying hard for a ton of kids now, which means
besides Howard, not sure if anybody is interested. Heard very little about 2017. I would say if he does not get Howard, he will be struggling. How do you see
it?

If you get 1 out of 10 you are probably doing good, if Howard does commit, it probably puts Wojo at a solid B. If Bailey was playing next year, maybe A-, but without
one player with some muscle, this team looks rather small next year. Fisher is not Ocefu and Cohen is not Jenkins, but will have to play like him.
-

That might be a very good point. Right now they just need an average 6'8" player with some muscle, has to be a grad student somewhere that can see that they can
start on a pretty good team next year!

I am seeing that he landed a top ten 2015 class. Has two top 100 recruits for 2016 (one who wont be here until 2018), and could land another top 40 one today if he reclassifies and chooses Marquette.
Hardly struggling.
-
My gut says we land him. My head says we need him big time.

Were we really going after Fernando or was that just a half a$$ed offer we threw out there? Either way if you look at the disappointments you're gonna be disappointed I view it as Carlino, Cohen, Henry, Haanif, Traci, Sacar, Bailey, Houser. Sought after grad transfer, 5 top 100s and a top 150 plus Sacar isn't too shabby.
-

Wojo visited him 3 times since January (twice in Florida & once in NJ/NY). MU definitely tried getting Bruno to visit. Just didn't seem interested in leaving the south (SMU, nc state, and FSU as his top 3)

I'd always thought it was Khalif or a transfer. Bruno seemed like a pipe dream.

I would say he is struggling, because he keeps recruiting the same type of player. Are we back to the Crean years, where we could not recruit bigs. Only time will tell.
-

Agreed, was very small chance with Bruno. Wojo "liking" ten of his tweets since January was also interesting, but showed he definitely wanted him.
-

Keeps recruiting the same type of player?
So Henry Ellenson and Matt Heldt are the same type of player as Traci Carter and Markus Howard?
Sacar Anim and Sam Hauser are the same type of player?
Wojo landed two top 100ish bigs in his first recruiting class, including a McDonald's AA, but now he can't get bigs?
Huh.
-
I find it very curious that as of yet we have seen no mention of MU being involved with any grad transfer bigs. You'd have thought by now, SOMETHING would have leaked. I know they have made contact with Katin Reinhardt but he's a Guard. If Wojo can't/doesn't get a REALLY GOOD PF grad transfer in here then he is definitely struggling with recruiting. To me, by now, there should have been a parade of offers/visits lined up by grad transfer bigs...but we haven't heard a peep. Is Wojo even pursuing anyone?? Or does he think "we'll get by next year", because if he does...There's something seriously wrong. Because of the connections...Savon Goodman seemed/seems like a very logical get, yet there's been nothing on that front. That's just to name one, there are several others that his focus should be on as well. You can't drag your feet on these guys...or they will be gone. You absolutely have to zero in on your one or two guys you want and pounce...ASAP.

I don't think this is really fair Pakuni...lest we forget those are both in state kids...that makes it A LOT easier to pull them in(not always guaranteed, but much easier). When he can pull in a top 50ish big from say Georgia or Carolina or somewhere else, then it's fair to say he can recruit bigs...But I can't really count in state kids.

Wojo is a lot more private with his recruiting. Just because you haven't heard doesn't mean it's not happening

Wojo offered Darrell Bowie (6'8 PF) grad transfer from Milwaukee (Northern Illinois) but he chose Iowa State instead, a few weeks back.
-
You guys do know that assuming Markus commits we're at 13, right? So did it occur tosome of you that mamaybe someone isv waiting on HE? ::)
-
Can Wojo really go public with anything on a PF until Henry announces? Seems to me he doesn't have an open spot until Henry gives his up.
-

Could be, but I think you still have to be talking to kids if it was a case of the waiting game... would be great if there was a good grad transfer that wanted to come, but was just holding off to get an update on Henry..

BTW, the new NCAA rules do seem to put some teams into a bit of a bind, a''inal? Interesting times...

No time given. He's posting a video on twitter that his brother created for him.
Markus Howard @markushoward11 Apr 1
I will be releasing a video made by my brother @JordaniHoward about which school I will be attending Sunday, April 3rd as well. Stay tuned

Really? I think he's pretty open and transparent. Who on our roster didn't we know was an MU target?

Totally agree JB. Now we're all rightfully confident that the Ellenson family is totally keeping Wojo in the loop that according to BD might involve 2 slots. Certainly we're all better off once we have further clarity. No doubt replacement players are being asked to wait. Bruno decided not to. All's good.

That comes from the kids directly, not the coaching staff/Wojo.

That's my point...someone in the national media always tweets out interest from grad transfers ta some point, because they ask the kids...and so far, none of them have mentioned MU. Wojo's not waiting on Henry. I'm sure he's known for a long time what Henry was going to do. It's not a big secret. Certainly not to Wojo it isn't.

It's early April, how many grad transfers are to still come? I think the list is far from being done.
-

Maybe so, but there are plenty of good one's out there right now that he should be all over already...with Grad transfers(especially bigs), you can't wait around. Especially since MU likely won't be in the tourney again next year and that's what a lot of grad transfers are looking for even more than playing time. So Wojo is going to have to work harder to get one...which means he has to put in more time.
-
Now 100% in crystal balls for Markus Howard. Will sting if it isn't MU when he announces
-

I mean, sure, Marquette's on the cusp of back-to-back top 20 classes, but obviously Wojo can't recruit because it's already April 3 and he hasn't landed a graduate transfer yet.
-
How old is Markus? If he is the age of a HS Junior does that concern anyone for his short term contributions?
I guess for 2016-2017 I am banking on learning to play small ball (4 out - 1 in), maturation of all returners & Rowsley.
All otter contributions would be gravy.

Could be wrong but I believe the week of the home Nova game he had just turned 17.

At least somebody agrees, Howard and Hauser, add Rowsey are all nice recruits, add Bailey even better. But you can not add Bailey because he is not available to 2018. To me he is just a verbal commitment, no one knows for sure he will be coming here. Just hope Stan Johnson is here then, and that is no guarantee. Normally
most people would say it was good recruiting year and it is, but looking at the roster right now, there is 1 big hole, even if Henry came back (in Florida, working out) MU was short a big. Wojo so far, has not filled that slot.
Good luck today, hope for the best. Not sure the talent is there to make the tournament, but I will never forget, when MU was short a strong forward, and out of nowhere came Bob Lackey. Anything can still happen, lots of time till fall.
-
What time is the announcement?
-
I relish the idea of a Marquette team with great shooters. Too many years we had great athletes who were lousy shooters. Next season should prove to be different in a "lights out" way.
-
The midgets 2.0
-
Lackey was a junior college transfer. We don't seem to really want to get any jc transfers. I would also guess all the top jc players are committed. I think either a grad transfer or a 2 or 3 star highschool player would have to do. I am afraid our 4 will either be JJJ or Cohen. Luke will have to average 12 or more rebounds.

I really did not care where he came from back then, or do I care where they come from today. Findlay Prep, is that really a school, or a basketball factory, That might
be worse then a JC. As long as the person, is a good person, and stays out of trouble.

Not fur sure on 100%, but #5 was thought ta be goin' ta Durham 'til da old Bruin cap appeared, ai na?

They have a school that accompanies it. He goes to class at Henderson NV, is a 4.0 student and appears to be on track to graduate in 3 years. Let's not start this.
-
Agree w/Hoopster. Not saying Howard isn't good, but we have a glut of wings as it is -- including a near-Howard clone in Rowsey (how many sub 5'10" types do we need?). Hopefully, Wojo will address our frontcourt problem, b/c I'm not looking forward to seeing Cohen, Hauser and JJ rotate at the 4.

Can you believe how much Jay Wright struggles on the recruiting front? I mean, it's been FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS (and basically since they were playing 4 guard sets with the Foy/Ray team) where Jay Wright has had ONE GLARING NEED and he has FAILED to address that. Landing a REALLY GOOD power forward is SO EASY when you are stacked at every other position. With such a clear struggle at the most important aspect of a college basketball coach, how is Jay Wright's seat not FLAMING HOT every year?!

How many sub 5'10" types do we need? None. How many do we want? If they're as good as Rowsey and Howard, I'll take like 5 of them on my team.
How have you liked watching Nova rotate Jenkins, Hart, and Bridges at the 4 the last 3 weeks?

Has there ever been a 100% that was wrong
Yep. The cristal bowel is stupid.

Cliff Alexander.
Kansas was 64%. Enless I'm reading it wrong

Here's an example.. Kevin Dorsey. All the children on 247 picked Maryland. Went to Minnesota.
I rarely see what cristal bowel %'s are, because I don't care about a marketing tool... but, was familiar with Dorsey because people in Minnesota talked about the cristal bowel a lot...

On NO planet are Cohen, JJ and Hauser comparable to Nova's Jenkins, Hart, and Bridges! Not even close to analogous!

Hmm. Their heights are very comparable, actually. Jenkins is built a little bigger, but he doesn't play much bigger.
-
Maybe height wise, but not talent wise.

Cliff Alexander.

Cliff Alexander.
He wasn't 100%

Maybe the kid will grow an inch or two.
I'm sure the ladies in his life would find that disappointing.

Will he be able to play this year?
