Title: Excluding Wade.....
Post by: MuggsyB on April 13, 2021, 08:11:56 PM
Who is the best outside the top 100 recruit Marquette has ever landed?  I'm not including transfers or JUCOS.  I realize that back in the day they didn't really have a top 100 but  I think you catch my drift.

I had him in mind Galway.  I'm a big Davante fan despite his defensive limitations.

Tony smith or Tony Miller.....not sure about their rankings, but I think they were not top 100, coming out of high school.  Amal as well...

Where was Smith out of curiosity?  He was my fav player as a little kid.  It's a real shame he had no help whatsoever.

Was Novak top 100?  Hard to find old rankings - guess we need to archive those.

Yep, though with the caveat he was a 5th year guy.  In any event, he was a touted recruit as TC noted often.

Lazar was my first thought but looks like he was in the 80 range.

I thought Novak was and it looks like Hayward was as well.

MacGaskill (sp) average 4 pts in high school and became an NBA player.
Another O'Neal recruit, who also became an NBA player would be Chris Crawford

What rankings are we using? Fox Sports had Wade 48 at the end of his senior year of HS.

One vote for Hutch.

Lots and lots of high major coaches knew very well who Wade was and would have loved to have had him for their programs.

I love that 2013 Syracuse game at the BC.  Two prime-time triples for Mayo.  It's too  bad he never came close to his potential.

Each of which was significantly more important to the outcome of that game than Jake's much-celebrated 4-point play.

Absolutely.  Of course Davante's perfect 2nd half was what catapulted us to a W.

Once in a lifetime game from him. Dude couldn't miss.

Loudest I heard the Bradley center in my four years as a student.

That was a fun one.

Our old seats in 441 gave a perfect angle on threes from the left wing by the MU bench. You could pretty much tell out of the hand if they were going in.

Todd's late shot clock three was one of them. Same with Sam's against Nova that cut their lead to three late.

Technically Comstock. My Middle School team beat his in a tournament we won. He got better, our team did not and my teammate who was MVP of tour tournament never grew after middle school and wasn't even on Varsity.

He was a pretty well regarded pitching prospect for Houston. I think most people figured he would play baseball.
