The deciding factor was our obvious need, Cain, B.E. and the opportunity to contribute significantly as a freshman.....

I am glad we landed this young man. Just about none of us have seen him play so we are judging only based on scouting reports and hearsay. As I said in another thread: If Izzo wanted him, I want him.

For us newer-ish folks, when was the last time we brought in a pair of players who had been teammates, and did that chemistry help them adjust right away to the college environment?  Last I can remember is Fulce and Butler.

'Bottom line is that Marquette snagged the most underrated perimeter prospect in the country in my opinion. He is the prototype combo-guard in terms of having a versatile skillset and good athletic ability. Marquette fans should be really excited that Greg hasn't even touched the surface of his full potential, as he will no doubt add a ton of muscle mass and refine his skill set as a freshman. Greg has a rare combination of skill, length, athletic ability and motor that could see him be an all Big East type player in a few years. More than anything on the scouting report, Greg Elliott is just a competitor. He plays at 100% every single play, on both ends of the court and does not back down. Greg is the epitome of a dog on the court, he just has it in him to be candid.'

Congrats to Greg, Wojo, the coaching staff and the rest of the team. Player by player, we're seeing the MU program restock and upgrade its talent level.

The scouting report immediately made me think of Vander Blue. A 6'3" combo guard who's athletic, quick, plays hard but not necessarily known for his ball handling or outside shooting. Fortunately, we shouldn't need Greg to run the point or produce a lot of offense right from the start — where Vander was immediately expected to step in as a major contributor (6th on the team in minutes and 5th in points scored as a freshman).

They were only teammates for an all star game not in HS, can't remember if they played AAU together or not.  The last HS teammates of the same year I can remember is Hoops Dream star William gates and Mckaskell.

Well....

1. He's a 3 star. Borderline 4 star on 247. Missed it by about 10 spots

2. Because he has offers from Providence (recent successful program) and some guy named Tom Izzo.

3. High ceiling.

4. Pretty sure you're a troll anyways so this was pointless, but there are plenty of obvious reasons to be excited even if you choose to ignore them.

Spent 20 years in Detroit area...when you get the best of the PSL you got something.

I remember seeing Jalen Rose, Voshon Lenard and Howard Eisley play for Southwestern (Eisley was a year ahead)...all eyes were on Rose who had the swagger...winked at the cheerleaders, smug grin...scored 30 without sweating. Hardley noticed Lenard with 17 but he ended up great too.

Chris Webber was also Detroit but got recruited to a suburban prep school...he was going to go to Southwestern with Rose....what a HS team that would have been.

Also, the young actor who played Elliot in the film, Henry Thomas, later went on to star in a film called Fire in the Sky, in which he played a character named Greg.

And exactly 18 years ago today, Thomas had a supporting role in a foreign film called The Thickest Neck in which he played a character named, I sh*t you not, Steve Wojchiechowski.

Yes, those are chills you feel running up your back.

Was that the one where young Steve learned about thick necks from his best friend Stan, whose father John was the title character because he had the thickest neck? I was very confused by the subtitles.

Why is everyone excited for a 2 star (3 in some services) recruit?

Not even a top 100 guy.

Because recruiting services and star ratings tell us all we need to know about a player.  Great point!

Yeah who would want guys like:
Jimmy Butler
Chris Otule
David Cubilian
Marcus Jackson
Dwight Buycks
Ousmane Barro
Jae Crowder
Darius Johnson-Odom
Davante Gardner
Todd Mayo
Dwyane Wade

We've never had success with any guys who weren't in the top 100

Yeah, but those guys weren't nearly as good as Eric Williams or Jamal Ferguson.

Eric Williams played in the NBA. Unfortunately, Erik Williams played at Marquette. Never made the NBA but was top 100.

I'd like to know how many times someone on this board has posted this list in response to someone else complaining about us not recruiting 4 and 5 stars. Happens every single time.

We probably had a better track record with 2-3 star players than we did with 4-5 star players under Buzz. Makes it easier to tout that type of list ;)

QuoteMore than anything on the scouting report, Greg Elliott is just a competitor. He plays at 100% every single play, on both ends of the court and does not back down. Greg is the epitome of a dog on the court, he just has it in him to be candid.   
Man have we been missing THIS!

Spent 20 years in Detroit area...when you get the best of the PSL you got something.

I remember seeing Jalen Rose, Voshon Lenard and Howard Eisley play for Southwestern (Eisley was a year ahead)...all eyes were on Rose who had the swagger...winked at the cheerleaders, smug grin...scored 30 without sweating. Hardley noticed Lenard with 17 but he ended up great too.

Chris Webber was also Detroit but got recruited to a suburban prep school...he was going to go to Southwestern with Rose....what a HS team that would have been.
Ditto

Also, the young actor who played Elliot in the film, Henry Thomas, later went on to star in a film called Fire in the Sky, in which he played a character named Greg.

And exactly 18 years ago today, Thomas had a supporting role in a foreign film called The Thickest Neck in which he played a character named, I sh*t you not, Steve Wojchiechowski.

Yes, those are chills you feel running up your back.

Mind blow!

So wait, is MUFanInNY referencing this movie when he talks about recruits having thick necks? Or is that just a weird coincidence?

Well....

1. He's a 3 star. Borderline 4 star on 247. Missed it by about 10 spots

2. Because he has offers from Providence (recent successful program) and some guy named Tom Izzo.

3. High ceiling.

4. Pretty sure you're a troll anyways so this was pointless, but there are plenty of obvious reasons to be excited even if you choose to ignore them.

With Providence's success with players at the 1-3 during Cooleys tenure.  Many of which have been 3 stars, im on board with anyone Cooley has identified as wanting.  Their 1-3 positions lit us the hell up twice this year and all return next year.
