Now that MH is on board and HE is headed to the NBA focus is on adding big for next year. HE did Wojo a favor by making it clear that he was going into draft and hiring an agent. Wojo has already reached out to potential grad transfers and one HS senior (I would say from up north but more east north east) that there is playing time next year for a "big". Hope to be able to share some more specifics after the 14th.
I decided to start new string to make it easier for all to share/follow.
By the way, TC is almost a lock to be the starting PG next year.
-
By the 14Th, that is no fun, the kid might sign by then and you have no story. A little gossip keeps us coming back. A name keeps us intrigued, at least Woo
is out there looking around. I agree about TC, but he does need some improvement before I can hand him over the job. He is not Ryan A., yet.
-
Does it sound like they are confident about landing one of the targets?
-
Dominican is north and east north east, ai na?
-
Carter needs to work on his outside shot. I am hoping that Rowsey or Howard get significant time at the point. MU could use a PG whose outside shot needs to be respected - speaking of Archie...
Also, I would be good with Kostas but I suspect you are talking further north and east..

Thinking the same thing. ;D

Sorry, headed out of country for a week. Ok a little extra tidbit. Talked to a Dad today in Peoria and his son will not be looking to be a grad transfer.

Hope Reinhardt isn't one of the grad transfers Wojo's serious about.

Kalif Young
Oh...well that is obvious since MU offered months ago. Thought BD was trying to drop some new hints
-
Not a new name, but more interest, playing time was/is a big concern.

I disagree completely. Hand Traci the keys, it's like you forgot about his 5 3s in a game performance. You really want another year of a freshman PG? I have no idea why people are so dismissive of Traci, he improved throughout the season, way more of an offensive threat than Derrick ever was and a pretty solid defender as well.
-
Can Young play the 4? I see him listed as a 5.
In the video I watched of him he's a big boy, which is much needed. But he looks a bit slow footed and uncoordinated...until he has the ball in his hands off the dribble, which is the opposite of what I would expect. With the ball he looks smooth and quick, without it and defensively he seems to get tunnel vision and flinch at any move a ball handler makes.
-
I don't see why Carter (or Howard) should be handed anything.
If Howard is better in the 2 months leading up to the season, he should play more. If Carter is better, he should play more.
How much more complicated does it have to be? Sports should be the ultimate meritocracy.
I do think there will be times both are on the court together.

He make much more sense if we get a grad transfer PF as well.

No idea. My guess would be Wally - but I have no idea. If only one ship is available, we need a Grad PF - not Young, or really the dude from USC.
-
Rowsey is not a freshmen...
Carter shot 34% last year - lowest on the team. He needs to significantly improve his shooting if he is going to be full-time starter. MU needed everyone of those 5 threes - but that game was an outlier.
-
Neeeeeeeeeeeeed more info. Withdrawls are hitting me hard
-
So no Brett Bisping
-

If they can turn JJJ into an outside scoring threat, I have every confidence that the coaching staff can help Traci with his shot as well.
-
I am excited about TC - while this year was rough at times, he was one that you saw grow every game - even as the game progressed like the Villanova game at home.
I hope his attitude becomes the teams attitude next year.
-
Carter became my favorite player in the loss in the Big East tournamnet. There was a point in the second half that he was in a stare down with a much bigger player. The camera shot showed him staring directly at the other player with no sign of fear. Maybe that is Philadelphia toughness, but I really liked what I saw. Even before that I believed he was going to have a big step up as a sophomore.
My prediction is that Carter and JJJ have big step ups, Wilson a better year and that Fischer and Cheatnam have a tougher going without Henry.The biggest unknown is what Heldt will do. He will get a lot more minutes next year. It is two bad he missed the end of the season with an injury, because he could of got some valuable experience.
-

My favorite TC moment was when he was kicking a little a$$ against Villanova and he went over to their bench and did some trash talking. You couldn't tell what he said, but you know it was along the lines of "You should have recruited me!"
2nd favorite: When he shot some clutch free throws (I forget which game) and turned around to gather high-fives from his teammates before the ball actually went through the hoop.
Confidence is not an issue with this one.
-
Favorite player? Hand him the keys? Wha? This is a guy, a pg mind you, that has a turnover percentage at 29% and eFG% of 41%. He can't shoot the 3, has below average handles and can't defend without fouling...averages 5 fouls per 40 minutes. Those stats aren't just bad, they're downright awful. And then saluting him for acting like an idiot on the court? You actually like it when players mouth off to the bench? You can play with energy without getting in player's faces.
Howard didn't come to Marquette to sit behind Carter for 3 years, if he can't beat out Carter then he's way over-hyped.
-
Who else is leaving ?
Bailey might be going on a two year mission
-
I have said it before and I will say it again, Traci will go down as Wojo's most important recruit.
IMO Howard was brought in here to score.

He's always been going on it.

Ummmm, someone better remind TC that 'nova just won the title without him. I would say they're doing just fine.
-

That was taken into account in determining that MU has just one more scholarship to give this year. So, we're looking at either a high schooler or a grad transfer PF, not both, unless someone else leaves.
From what Big Daddy said, it sounds like Young won't come if Wojo tracks down a grad transfer at PF, so we're probably talking about one or the other anyway.
-

You mean where he played 18 minutes, scored two points (free throws) had no assists and two turnovers?

Decent game there but he fouled out and his team lost by 15.
Look I have nothing against trash talking, celebrating and that stuff. But really it doesn't mean anything to be "Philly tough" if the ball isn't going in the hoop or you're turning it over. In fact that crap will get exceedingly old if he doesn't improve.
That said, I think he will improve. Then that other stuff will mean something then.
My favorite game was when he went 5/7 at home v. Butler and by and large played in control. And when he didn't, Wojo pulled him and put Haanif in, and he was still a leader on the bench. That is what I want to see more of.

Agreed.
While I would welcome Reinhardt, he isn't a PF. He's a G/SF, that doesn't rebound much. We really need a PF.
Also not sure Kalif Young is the answer next year at PF - again, I'd take him, but not unless we have a grad transfer PF coming.
-
Man you guys like to whine a lot. 2 facts. TCH was a Frosh and made Frosh mistakes. He does not handle the ball poorly and yes he can shoot respectably. As to his confidence, that will become more positively focused as he matures. Fact 2: As fantastic a recruit as Marcus is, he arrives on campus at 17. Give that a second or two to sink in. Seventeen. Give the kid a chance to settle in.
Anyway, thanks for all the info BD. Guess Wojo does have a plan. ::)
-
Do we dare bring up the fact that we have no transfers out of the program (yet)? 8-)
-

Who's "whining?" No one. People are pointing out statistical facts about his game and saying that if he doesn't improve, all that brashness doesn't matter. Is that wrong?

I suppose what I'm suggesting is that BD makes a simple statement that probably almost directly from the coaching staff and all the armchairs start up like TC is some incompetent schlub and that a historically young player must almost certainly be an immediately better choice. Back-up QB syndrome. But I suppose we're good at that around here.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree with that.
-
Wouldn't it be fantastic if Markus could learn and grow this year in a support role and if he sets the world on fire, well even better.
So based on what BD said, I wonder if we're even talking to Kostas anymore?

Doubtful. I think it is Kalif or a grad transfer. That's it.
-
BTW, I found this statement from Young regarding his decision criteria.
“Fit, coaching and who has had the most professionals that have played my position,” Young said. "
Discuss. (Do players coached at Duke count?)
-

Markus' job will be to come in and make shots. Having Traci/Haani/Rowsey allows him to play off the ball.
-
I think I agree with you guys.

I agree with all of this, Sultan, especially your last paragraph.
I like brashness. In the Superbar, I largely defended Cam Newton. Trash-talking can be fun and funny. Jordan and Bird were masters. Jordan and Bird also earned the right to talk trash through their play and, eventually, their titles.
When I say that Carter should get more playing time than Howard only if he earns it -- and vice versa -- I don't see how that is "whining" or tearing down Carter. I also said I expect both to be on the court at the same time occasionally.
I think Carter can be a very good player. He isn't that yet. Howard reputedly has the potential to be a very good player. We'll see. I don't know how those statements can be viewed as "negative." They are facts, no?
-

I imagine that is what Wojo will be talking up. He was the bigs coach there. Got a lot of guys to the League. He just sent last years PF on Marquette to the League. I think those are the talking points.

That whole "I coached Olympians like LeBron and Wade" thing might factor into the pitch, too.

With 700+ nationwide, it is practically a miracle that we haven't had any yet. How many teams can say that at this point? Not a whole lot.
Edit: I guess the 700 was last year, but as of right now it's about 375. Still an average of more than one per school.
-

Yeah, but how many Canadian Olympians?

I wondered if Dylan was the transfer PF that Big Daddy was referring to. He along with the Martin twins from NC State and Goodluck Okonoboh from UNLV are the best PF transfers available right now. And the Martins are wings with size and Okonoboh is a C. So I guess I'm actually saying that Dylan is the best PF transfer available right now.

None of these guys are available to play next year though are they?

I think BD specifically mentioned 'grad' and a not so veiled reference to Kalif. I can't envision a situation where the one available scholly is used for someone who can't dress immediately.

BD mentioned in a previous post that he was close to the Bispings in Peoria. Brett Bisping is a 6-8, 238lb RS Junior PF at Siena who averaged 16 and 10 this year. Sounds like he's staying put--too bad.
-
None of these guys are available to play next year though are they?
No. But the more I think about it, the less I think we will go after a grad transfer PF. I think Wojo is much more worried about the big situation in 17-18 than he is in 16-17. If he gets a grad transfer PF, than we will be in an even more desperate situation next summer. If he gets a Khalif Young, it helps this year and next year.
-

Good point.
I think best would be if someone does happen to leave, we get Young and a transfer for 2017.
-
Setting aside the issue that we are down to one available scholarship unless someone leaves I don't see how a kid like K Young can set as a criteria immediate playing time. I don't believe he is even a Top 100 kid. I doubt he'd be ready to play more than 8-10 minutes in a high major program. So if we could some how get Osetkowski he would only be here for one year. That means Young probably gets the 8 minutes or so in the rotation with Fish, Heidt and Osetkowski next season and the season after that he is the starting 4 as a soph. That's probably all the playing time he can handle.
I just don't see how we defend other BE teams with Haniff or Wally as the primary 4 and there is no way Young starts as a freshman. He's just not that level of talent.
-

Rankings aren't everything. Young is good. I don't know that he would be ready to start, but he seems like a late bloomer big. He's had some blue bloods sniffing around his practices in the past month.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Osetkowski would only be here for on year." He's a traditional transfer that would have two years of eligibility left. He would play for us from 2017-2019.

Osetkowski, I believe, is a traditional transfer, and would sit out out a year and then have two years of eligibility.

Who's "whining?" No one. People are pointing out statistical facts about his game and saying that if he doesn't improve, all that brashness doesn't matter. Is that wrong?
No it is not wrong. Carter does have to improve in several areas. However, you need toughness and he has that. He also is a good free throw shooter and he has shown some ability to shoot from the three. It is my belief that he will improve a lot. Some players do and there are others that do not. I certainly thought Wilson and Cohen would of improved more than they did, so I could be wrong about Carter. There are many posters here that think we will be an NCAA team next year, which I find hard to believe. To do so we will need significant improvement from more than one player and I believe Carter will be one of them.
-
Osetkowski, I believe, is a traditional transfer, and would sit out out a year and then have two years of eligibility.
OK. I just assumed he was a grad transfer based on his stats. In that case having someone to guard the 4 next year even if he is a freshman would be better than a guy who can't play next year.
-
I have said it before and I will say it again, Traci will go down as Wojo's most important recruit.
IMO Howard was brought in here to score.
He was recruited over. Gowne Tracker

Personally, I would prefer Kalif Young. I think Young is currently the better prospect and is more game ready. If Young shapes his body a bit he has a higher ceiling also.
-
Osetkowski, I believe, is a traditional transfer, and would sit out out a year and then have two years of eligibility.
I agree with the Sultan. But, as I mentioned in the other thread, I think we are really only looking at 1 of Osetkowski/Khalif/other traditional transfers.
Any other spot we have is going to go to an immediate eligible transfer if we can find a good one.
I'm pretty sure that we will still have 2 spots to fill.

I would like to see us pursue Marvin Clark and Javon Bess from Michigan State. Obviously they have to sit out a year but will fit in nicely once they are eligible. St. Johns is looking at Clark.

From the Detroit website, looks like he would be a grad transfer. He red-shirted at Colorado in 12-13, sat out 13-14 as a transfer and played at Detroit in 14-15 and 15-16. All of 190 pounds over a 6'7" frame. Interestingly, his major is chemistry with interest in pre-med and biology. And, no, he is not a "traditional".

I like visits. Especially last visits. Seriously, has Wojo lost a HS recruit he actually got to campus?

Glad it is end of April, maybe the weather will be above 40 by then. Basketball at Alabama is second fiddle compared to Providence and MU. This might depend on
if Bentl stays or goes. At MU the 4 spot is open, that is for sure.

Bama will be a player here. Their leading returning rebounder is 6'5 and averaged a little over 5 rebs per game. Plenty of room for a PF to play right away which sounds like a big priority to Kalif.
Do like our chances, though, so long as he does make it to campus.

I think he is our major target, and with Nova's NC he is nudged to the BEAST and we did beat PC twice. Also with Henry gone that spot will look inviting. Will start changing my name around 4/25.
-
If no one else transfers, Kalif Young is absolutely who I want.
If someone does transfer, I want a grad transfer and a 2017 transfer. Say Chris Jenkins (grad transfer from Detroit) and Dylan Oste...ski. I think if we get a grad transfer PF, than Mr. Young will no longer be interested in our alma mater.

Miami, Wake Forest, Marquette, Alabama, Auburn, UNLV, Texas, Clemson, and ECU among those that have reached out Duquesne transfer LG Gill
LG Gill is 6'8 grad transfer
I think this is a very good idea. Can't teach 40 inch vertical leap. He will get the hard rebounds :)

Agree with cannon. If a 2 year eligibility shows up that's long run enough assuming we fill the hole next year too.
-
The videos I've watched of him have impressed me with his athletic ability and how smooth he runs the floor. Also of note is that he played behind thon maker and against some other good bigs on a fairly regular basis.
Sounds to me like the coaching staff may be visiting him this weekend or during this past week if I'm putting things together correctly.
-

No one is saying that. Wojo is absolutely trying to win today but isn't doing at the expense of the long run. If we had two schollies, a grad transfer and a 2017 transfer would make perfect sense. It addresses our immediate need for a PF and our greater future need for a big of any type in 17-18. Its winning today and being in it for the long run.
You would have a better argument if we only had 1 schollie and we went after a grad transfer over a Kalif Young or a 2017 transfer.

I am with you on this desire. I think he has a good chance to be an impact player here and has the coachability to reach that level. Given Vandy turnover, I really think that Marquette is in the driver's seat--especially given Kalif's desire to work under someone with a proven record of getting bigs to the league (Henry, Plumlee's, etc).
-
Lets go Wojo, get Young. Make Marquette basketball great again. Just win baby.
-
Young is just kind of...meh. Now he may develop obviously, but the problem is, you want as many studs as you can possibly get(talent wins over the long haul), and he is NOT a stud...MU NEEDS(it's an absolute must) to get in the tournament next year, zero question about it...go get TWO studs that can contribute major minutes right now( one 4 and one wherever), and roll...that's how you do it.

Gosh, I didn't realize it was that easy. Just go out and recruit two stars. Why didn't Wojo think of this???

So the two studs are gonna split the last scholarship? Or is Wojo adopting one of them? Why are we proceeding under the assumption someone else is leaving?
I also laugh at how some people think recruiting is easy. Can't just go get studs in a minute, especially this late in the game. With transfers, you've got a very small window of time to develop a relationship, get them on campus, and seal the deal. Wojo has been decent in this regard with Carlino and Rowsey (missed on Lee and others).

Don't worry, by going after Mr. Young, Wojo is going for THREE stars :)

I know, I know, rankings don't mean everything, but 247 has Kalif Young as the #318 player in the country. Not exactly someone we need to get. Sometimes I think we just want players because our coach is in on them and to boost the short-term collective ego of MU nation.

What was Davantes ranking? Furthermore, what was Steve Taylor's ranking. Davante was ranked lower than Young while Teve was a top 100. Let's dial it back on the rankings being end all be all.

If we get a grad transfer this year it will be the third "one and done" player Wojo has brought to MU in three years. And he's gone hard after at least two others. Before that, Trent Lockett is the only grad transfer in MU history. My conclusion? The idea that he's sacrificing winning now to "build" for the future is nonsense. His #1 priority (like any decent coach) is to win today - because if you win today it's a whole lot easier to win tomorrow.

247 also shows him with several offers from other high majors besides MU. Maybe the coaches see something that the "experts" don't.

Good plan! Should work just as well as our three headed monster of Ellenson, Damion Lee, and Shonn Miller did last year. Was really satisfying seeing us back in the tourney with secondary one and dones and a traditional one and done.
The only thing that didn't work out with that team and their Elite Eight run was that pesky little thing called "reality", but why let that ruin the season that was(n't)?

actually, watching some of young's highlights, he kind of reminds me of davante after he dropped a few. remember when buzz recruited him, he was north of 300 +. by the time he hit the court/game time freshman year, i think he had him at, what? 290's, then his sophomore year, cheezus, he looked almost emaciated

there sure are quite a few big name programs looking at him. he may have potential written all over him for a number of reasons. does he not fit what wojo is looking for or too much of a project, or ...?? i know this has been discussed somewhat here, but seeing these other schools looking at him and if he turns out to be pretty good, that would suck knowing he was right in our backyard.

I'll take my chances with Sam and Bailey.

Scoopers complain when we can't shoot well and about too many slashers and "athletes." Many of the same Scoopers are now complaining that we aren't seemingly interested in Kostas, who is about as raw a players as there is out there right now.

Kostas only getting scrap minutes in a blow out but buried his only shot (only one I saw at least) which was a deep 2 with his foot on the line.

Bailey is 2 years away. Plenty can happen before then.
-
Bailey is 2 years away. Plenty can happen before then.
That's exactly the point. We have a SF coming in this year in Hauser and a SF already set up to come in in 2 years. There is very little need for a SF to come in this year who couldn't even stand out in D4 WIAA basketball. Could he wind up being a good college player down the road? Sure. But after 3 years of no postseason, I'm not sure MU's in the position to use a scholarship on a kid who's, at a minimum, 2 years away from contributing. There's a reason he's just now, in April of his senior year, getting any type of interest from high majors. And it's not like he just lacked exposure. He had a top 10, McDonald's AA on his high school team last year. And oh yeah, he's Giannis's brother. If college programs thought he might be able to help them, they'd have been all over him for a long time.
-
If Kostas goes prep and improves, I'd hope MU gets involved. But at this point, they can't afford to take a guy who is at least two years from being able to play at a high-major.
-
Wit those schools interested, he ain't goin' to no prep school, ai na?

Did you read what you posted? This quote hardly says "huge upside." Basically says people are paying attention to him because of his brother.
Kostas Antetokounmpo: His jumper has excessive arc but is fluid and should be above average for a player of his height. Antetokounmpo doesn’t have the extreme length of Giannis and is also not quite as athletic. Antetokounmpo is unmistakably getting extra attention due to his brother and also how players with his length and skill-set are so coveted with where the league is going in positionless basketball, but the skill level remains raw. Kostas is a better shooter than Giannis but he’s not even close in any other consequential way at this point.

One of my favorite Mbao moments...well, actually the only one I really remember, so I guess my favorite by default, was in one of his first appearances. He came in and Lazar slid down to the 4. As the opponent came up court, everyone was backpedaling, and Lazar came up behind Mbao and pretty much put his hand right on the small of his back and shoved him to the top of the key, with that sort of "this is where you need to be, meat" kind of direction. Just one of those moments you could tell Hayward was like having a coach out on the floor. Miss having that kind of senior leadership.

There was a separate picture of Sacar as well.
Where's Waldo?

SACAR!!!!
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?? IS HE STILL HERE???

If I could do this kind of stuff, I would put Sacar in a Where's Waldo outfit.

He's been busy rewriting the Footprints in the Sand thing.

Will Kostas be playing there ?
-
EYBL / Adidas Uprising / UAA all kicking off, who's playing in Minny for 17u / 16u?
NY2LA has their new league playing games, as well as a bunch of non-league teams. WI Playground Elite's performance last year got them a trip out of the EYBL, so they are in NY2LA's league... will Kostas be around? Not sure, but he could be. I believe their league rules allow 3 unsigned seniors per team.
Flory should be her with the Wisconsin Shooters.
Here are the teams in the 17U "league" (http://www.ny2labasketballassociation.com/association.aspx?agegroupid=3)
I believe the Howard Pulley 16's are playing up in 17U at the NY2LA tourney... but, their top 2018's are with the 17U EYBL team (Tre Jones, Daniel Oturu, Gabe Kalscheur)
-
Will Kostas be playing there ?
Can't tell if serious... We're not recruiting him

He's very serious. But I agree, I don't think we've recruited Kostas in a very long time.

Mine was sort of

I will point out that just because he said he's been contacted by Marquette, that doesn't necessarily mean that contact was relatively recent.

Flory just joined Shooters last week and has looked real good -- kid does not miss from 3. That team should be pretty solid now. Brandon Hau, the 6' 8" wing has a D1 offer and Andrew Lewis from MKE Vincent is tough as well.
Funny thing about Playground Elite getting booted from the EYBL is that their 16U team now has a spot and they are absolutely horrible (much, much worse than their 17s (last year's 16s) who went like 1-17 in the league). Because of them getting the boot, Jordan Poole will play with Mac Irvin during the league.
I'll look for you at Hopkins this weekend JayBee.

Anybody care to give a bullet pointed update on players we are truly in on that could be coming in in the current recruiting class?
Sounds like Gill (Duquesne) and Carter (UNLV) could be graduate transfers at the PF position? Young an incoming freshman at the PF/C? Who was the other big who would be a 2 year transfer after sitting out a year?
Gill and Young have visits set up? Does Carter have mutual interest or is it "MU reached out" and nothing more?
Anybody else we're pretty seriously pursuing?
Thanks, a lot of long threads that sometimes go off topic so just trying to get maybe a bullet pointed update.

Marquette. Is. Not. Recruiting. Kostas.
But apparently we are still recruiting Eron Gordan.

He looks like a string bean for sure , but I thought he looked good in the Hoop Summit the other day. Give him a year with Todd and he will look much different physically.
Also I am not saying he will be as good as his big brother but all we need him to be is a quality college player and I believe he can be that.
Also some very good schools don't see him as a project.

Yes they do......they might be willing to gamble but at this point if coaches thought he was as good as you think he is he would have some real offers.....not just interest.

He hasn't taken any visit yet. I expect when the visits come he will get plenty of offers.

Why are you bearish on Kostas?
Because all of D1 basketball is?
I'm not trying to have a guy on our team for 4 years out of hope he can be good for 2 of them. Unless it's a big man like Heldt.

Not a full report. Jet Lag is hitting me hard and was late to the show and only talked to some folks, I know I am not showing my Warrior side very well right now.
But some updates:
1. Wally not there, was with Cross country team, but plans to be part of team next year.
2. JJJ, DW, SA, HC, TC, AR, MH, LF, all good.
3. SC3 not sure…just don’t have info, don’t draw any conclusions on this.
4. Kalif Young still target. If they can get him or someone else significant they will figure a way to make it work.

Well, not to be a wet blanket, but I'm drawing conclusions. Your assertion is that Wally, Jajuan, Duane, Anim, Cheatham, Carter, Rowsey, Heldt, and Fischer will all be back. That's 9. Safe to say Hauser, Howard, and Reinhardt are all safe. That's 12.
Currently, we are recruiting for 2-3 spots. You state Young is a target, Gill is coming for a visit, and we continue to look at other transfers.
I have no problem with the always be recruiting philosophy, but if everything you say is true, either the staff hopes they can replace Sandy with Young or Wojo is drawing up some adoption paperwork.
I always appreciate the info, but the numbers just don't add up.
-
I'm with BrewCity, more confused then ever after the latest BD knowledge dropping :)
Was Sandy not there or something? If he was, why would he if he's transferring. Just thinking out loud

Not really sure what the confusion is -- sounds like one person on the current team won't be here next year. Wojo is recruiting multiple bigs for that one spot considering you don't always land every single person you recruit. Just because he is talking to/recruiting 3 people or so doesn't mean there are 3 open spots. We aren't Kentucky when it comes to recruiting.

Remember, Wally has a lot of options. He could decide to go pro in track and then pay his own way to still play basketball.
That way he can focus on Track all summer and come back for his senior year to be a part of the team.

I don't claim to know much about how college athletes maintain amateur status, but the pro track route followed by a return to the basketball team sounds like a red flag for the NCAA. Could Wally actually do that?

That sounds like the situation the ruined Jeremy Bloom's college football 10 years ago. Olympic mogul skiier who was sponsored and as a result lost his amateur status and couldn't play for Colorado anymore.
However, I think they changed that rule to be sport specific as a result of Bloom's fight. So Wally, if he turned pro, would be ineligible to compete for Marquette track, but could still compete in basketball or other sports.

Agree, Wojo recruiting for ONE spot and it seems he has plans in place to have an open spot. My choice would be Kalif. I'm sure MU in NY would not agree

This was my understanding. The professional ineligibility is sport specific now, so Wally could go pro in track, but would then be ineligible for track (he's exhausted eligibility anyway). He would then still be allowed to compete in basketball, but would be ineligible for scholarship support.
See Chris Crawford and the Houston Astros.
-
Wally has been in college for 4 years, so he may be on track to graduate this May or have very few credits remaining. If he only pays by the credit next year it might be much less than full tuition.
-
How long is the spring signing period. I'm surprised someone as good as Young is still doing visits this late in his senior year.

Technically goes until mid May but really it'snow ppretty open ended until school starts. Of course I'm describing this for '16 graduates.
-
'Make it work' could still be Wally with HE paying his brother's tuition next year.
-
Henry Ellenson is not paying for little bro's education. Just like OJ Mayo wasn't paying for Toddler's, Giannis isn't paying for Kostas's, etc. etc. etc. We can move on from that thought. That's not how it works.

I use the word 'could' and you make a declaratory statement. Truthfully, neither of us has any idea about what HE would or wouldn't do.

In fact, just 2 seasons ago Stainbrook gave up his scholly at X while he was still on the team so his brother could play if my memory is accurate.

Henry Ellenson is not paying for little bro's education. Just like OJ Mayo wasn't paying for Toddler's, Giannis isn't paying for Kostas's, etc. etc. etc. We can move on from that thought. That's not how it works.
Could Wojo adopt him though?
-
In fact, just 2 seasons ago Stainbrook gave up his scholly at X while he was still on the team so his brother could play if my memory is accurate.
Stainbrook's younger brother was a walk-on. After the elder Stainbrook graduated, Xavier allowed them to swap so that the younger brother was the scholarship player and Matt was the walk-on because tuition was lower for a graduate student. Saved the Stainbrook family some money. Not quite the same scenario here.
-
Remember, Wally has a lot of options. He could decide to go pro in track and then pay his own way to still play basketball.
That way he can focus on Track all summer and come back for his senior year to be a part of the team.
Wally's younger brother could drop a few to cover his senior year as well making him a walk-on. Should certainly be enough cash laying around for the family in a few months.

Stains also landed that sweet job at Uber to supplement his tuition.

Thanks for the clarification CT. Point is that the Ellenson family is close to MU. Some form of scholly concession is more plausible than 'adoption'.
-
Does anyone know if Wally has completed enough credits to qualify as a grad student? I wonder how much cheaper MU would be if he has. I've always thought these "brother pays" scenarios were crazy, but it seems like nearly any scenario is pretty crazy at this point. What's more illogical - Wally as a walk-on or a transfer (different player) who STILL hasn't announced that he is transferring (while others are taking potential spots)?

Not a full report. Jet Lag is hitting me hard and was late to the show and only talked to some folks, I know I am not showing my Warrior side very well right now.
But some updates:
1. Wally not there, was with Cross country team, but plans to be part of team next year.
2. JJJ, DW, SA, HC, TC, AR, MH, LF, all good.
3. SC3 not sure…just don’t have info, don’t draw any conclusions on this.
4. Kalif Young still target. If they can get him or someone else significant they will figure a way to make it work.
Name change. Nice

The most logical would be Wally giving up basketball to focus on track. So there is no issue of time.

The one Difference is WE have paid 3 years of education to the Ellenson family and made Henry the focus of our team and put him in a good situation to go pro after one year. OJ and Giannis have no afflation to MU at all. Do you think Butler, Wade, Wes do not donate a little cash to MU? If Henry approached them and said I want to donate $50K from my rookie contract that would not be unheard of. henry is a WISC with Big MU ties, I'm sure at some point he donates some Money to MU. This is the only way he can give it directly to the basketball team.
-
Really if I were Wally and the Ellenson family and the suggestion was made that big brother pay for his tuition, I would flip out. Unless this was a predetermined move OR a move initiated by the Ellensons, and I really, really doubt it was, the entire idea would be insulting.
-
Look, if they really want to make room for Young, it will just involve a frank discussion with one of the players where they tell him "look, you're a great player. But next year I don't see you getting off the bench. And I"m not sure you'll ever get off the bench here at Marquette. If you want to work at it and prove me wrong, do it. But if playing time is your priority, transferring might be your best option."
There won't be any complicated adoptions, brothers paying for each other, etc. They will just talk to a player and convince them it is in their best interest to find another program. Happens all the time. How do you think Buzz got rid of players like Mbao, Ferguson, and Christopherson (damn...that last one was a mistake).
-
I agree that this idea could never have been suggested by MU - would have been driven by Wally making a decision that he is going to be more focused on track, but he'd still like to be a contributor to the basketball team. I'm pretty skeptical that this would happen...but it also would be surprising to see someone announce a transfer this late in the game (unless it was a kid planning to downgrade to a smaller school where openings are easier to find).
-

Agree. No idea how it suddenly became Henry's responsibility to pay for Wally's education. Silly discussion.
-
How long is the spring signing period. I'm surprised someone as good as Young is still doing visits this late in his senior year.
Kalif & his coach are on record saying they could definitely wait until May to pick a school
-
Thanks for the clarification CT. Point is that the Ellenson family is close to MU. Some form of scholly concession is more plausible than 'adoption'.
Both of those scenarios are just as plausible as each other: not at all. Either of those are just as plausible as Drake deciding to pay every players' tuition on the entire roster because he's close to Haanif. It just doesn't work that way.

This.
-
I'm actually trying to imagine the conversation now.
Wojo: Hank, your leaving puts us in a pretty tough spot at the 4. Your brother is going to have the opportunity to log some decent minutes there if he continues playing with us. The problem is, we really need someone better at the 4, but we don't have any scholarships left to give out to someone who would take Walter's minutes away from him. Do you think, with your new wealth, you'd be willing to drop $35K for your brother to lose his minutes?
Hank: You know I got you, coach!
...yeah...no.
-
Is Wally's collegiate track elegibility exhausted or does he have a year left? Is it possible (I.e, is it allowed) that he gets a track scholarship and be a walk-on for b-ball? Seems like he did the reverse last year.

These types of arrangements are not allowed.

If he does both, the scholarship must count for basketball.
Most football teams would put a bunch of guys on track scholarships to make room for more football schollie players if they could. Believe Miami tried this, which either got them in trouble or caused the NCAA to make this rule.

The only reason this crazy notion has come up is BD's post. His post leaves four options:
1. BD has bad info
2. Sandy is moving on (since he's the only ? for BD), and likely to a small school where a late transfer announcement isn't a big deal
3. Hauser is not coming (seems very unlikely, but he's not mentioned in BD's post)
4. Something unorthodox with Wally
Option 2 seems most likely if BD has good info, but otherwise something odd is coming (unless we're hosting officials without a spot available).
-
more amazing scoop sceculations
-
Agreed with rooster. We have official visits set up. That means Wojo has a way to open a scholly. Maybe nothing happens. But maybe someone currently counting doesn't 30 days from now. In my mind, Wojo has a clear understanding of how that works out depending on these visits.
-
Hasn't Sam signed his NLI?
-
Hasn't Sam signed his NLI?
He has.
-
Wally exhausts his outdoor track eligibility this year. He still has two seasons of indoor eligibility, but as that conflicts with basketball season and BD says he plans to participate with the team next year, I doubt he will be doing any more college track after this season.
-
Sam has, which is why I put that as a very low probability. I wasn't even going to put it in there, but I wanted to cover every single possibility based on BD's post.
-

Coaches always have a way. Simply don't renew a guy's scholarship. It sounds harsh but these are only one year deals. If Wojo wants Gill, Carter, or Young, it will happen.

BD's post did not mention any of the incoming signees (Hauser, Howard and Reinhardt). I assume they will all still be coming next year.

He has, just like Nick Noskowiak.
Sam, of course, isn't going down that road, and even if he does, he certainly won't be grabbing the steering wheel away from the driver.

It seems that you have missed the Duane going to Europe to play professionally rumor.

1. Wally not there, was with Cross country team, but plans to be part of team next year.
Guys, I've figured it out -- BD was ambiguous about what team WE plans to be part of. Clearly he means USA Olympic track and field team.

Well, aren't you just full of piss and vinegar today.

Did anyone think that perhaps BD isn't the oracle that people claim he is?
He comes here with information, and I appreciate that, but instead of doing mental gymnastics to figure out how everything his says is 100% truth, maybe the simple answer is that he got bad information.

How did Heisenberg hack Sultan's account?
-
Absolutely, Sultan. I put down four options, noting that one was very unlikely (Hauser). Translation: BD may have bad info. Otherwise, it is very likely something involving Sandy or Wally. If BD is right, the realist in me says Sandy. The unrealistic optimist in me says Wally (in a scenario where he is still on the team), as I really like all the guys on this team.

Stan Johnson just landed in NYC, I presume for the opening of the recruiting period. What's there this week, EYBL? Anyone know our targets that might be playing there?
Looks like Theo John running with Howard Pulley. They have a squad with Tre Jones and Gary Trent Jr. as well.

Look, if they really want to make room for Young, it will just involve a frank discussion with one of the players where they tell him "look, you're a great player. But next year I don't see you getting off the bench. And I"m not sure you'll ever get off the bench here at Marquette. If you want to work at it and prove me wrong, do it. But if playing time is your priority, transferring might be your best option."
Boys and Girls this is the way it works. And anyone on the team might be "at the basketball dinner" and "might expect to be back with the team as of yesterday" and then come 5/1 after these other recruits come in they get "invited" to the Coach's office for a little discussion. Wojo knows what he is trying to fix for next year and he has in his mind who will get the "talk" if recruit A or recruit B says yes. And I can say with certainty he is not going to tell Big Daddy or even his own wife who is going to have to go. Its far too confidential. You can also bet that these recruits will be told when they are offered (if they are offered) that the offer has a 48 hour expiration. "Either tell me now or there won't be room." That way the player who is the focus of the discussion will have reasonable time to transfer themselves. Call it what you want (Buzz cut, Bo cut, Wojo cut) they all do it. That is the way it is in big time college athletics.

Not really sure what the confusion is -- sounds like one person on the current team won't be here next year. Wojo is recruiting multiple bigs for that one spot considering you don't always land every single person you recruit. Just because he is talking to/recruiting 3 people or so doesn't mean there are 3 open spots. We aren't Kentucky when it comes to recruiting.
Just look at it for a mathematical perspective. Both Young and Gill were originally scheduled to be here the same weekend. You don't bring two guys in at the same time for one spot. Or if you do, you are creating a very, very awkward situation.
-

I'm not so sure Brew. This might be a situation where Wojo is dealing from a position of strength. This feels like big time 'you've got 18 hours to decide cause I've got a line at the door, brother'. I have no idea how ruthless it was at Duke. But the principles can be the same. I'm coming around to the theory that the bottom 10-15% of our roster is always at risk of 'the talk'. Now to be fair there should be some limits on that for sure but always improve, always recruit. And that's not to say that the 10% rule should always be applied to on court issues exclusively. You're a mediocre teammate or not performing in the classroom that counts too. It'll be interesting around here the next 2 weeks.

Just kiddin' ya. I appreciate the knowledge that you share here.

I think that if one or maybe even both of those grad transfers want to commit, then one or two of our undersized 4s (Wally, sandy, anim) get "the talk". I would say all of these undersized 4s are closer to the bottom 10% than they are the top 10%. I think the team will be best next season if one of the above guys transfer and we get a grad transfer. I'm all for running with the 13 guys we have now though.

Michigan State had Henry and Swanigan in for the same weekend and got neither. It would be great if Wojo could close the deal with Gill. He is just what we want a seasoned D -1 player ready for a big final year.

Did not mean to confuse anyone last night. My brain battery was in the red and felt like I was landing with with a dead stick. Keefe can explain that.
All three recruits are coming next year.
My guess on what was meant by "we will make it work" is something with Wally. I didn't ask specifics. I don't pry or push, that way I am only sharing what I am told and not putting anyone in a tough spot. In regards to SC3 I was not able to talk to him and Lil' Momma is closer with him and she was yapping with HE (see below) and did not talk to him either. So I do not have anything to say one way or another on that subject.
What I know is that they are looking for another player for next year and want it to be someone that can play inside. However, Wojo has made it clear he is not going to add a body, just to add one.
As side note, I did not talk with Henry last night, but Lil' Momma spent a fair amount with Henry. He told her he was head to LA today with his agent to start work outs. This may have been posted elsewhere, but I did not have time to look.
