I stumbled across this, not sure if it has been posted here. See the highlighted part below.
http://www.bigeastcoastbias.com/2014/5/25/5748302/is-it-a-chance-that-2015-henry-ellenson-plays-with-his-aau-teammate
Where will Henry Ellenson land?
Henry Ellenson, who is in the Class of 2015 and plays EYBL for Playground Elite, has a couple Big East offers from the likes of the Creighton Bluejays, the Marquette Golden Eagles, and the Georgetown Hoyas. The Hoyas appear that they are not really involved because they are already stocked full of big men, with three already and the last big man that they are targeting is 2015 recruit Ivan Rabb.
Ellenson plays with 2015 Marquette commit Nick Noskowiak, which could be good news for the Golden Eagles because should Ellenson tag along, then they will have a sense of chemistry between them. Ellenson is a big bodied, athletic player who can score well in the low post and plays with a glimmering presence of confidence.
When it comes to keeping track of Marquette, the 6-foot-9 forward from Rice Lake, Wisc. is far from a stranger. Ellenson told me he's been intently following them and is a big fan of new head coach Steve Wojciechowski. This does give Noskowiak some confidence because, much like his fellow teammate, he's a staunch supporter and builds up the chemistry between the two young men.
Ellenson said he will talk to several coaches in the summer, but also added that he does not feel like he need to take an official visit during the summer because he wants to work on refining his game. Ellenson also informed Big East Coast Bias that he is aware that a few coaches will come to see him play during the live period in July.
I also got the chance to talk to Ellenson's teammate about the possibility of playing with him. "I would feel really good," Nick said. "We really want him at Marquette. We make each other's games better."
With Nick being the first commit, it increases their chances of playing with one another since they both hail from Wisconsin. As we have seen in the past, the in-state factor can play a huge role in this spectrum.
-
Yeah baby--Nick has taken the lead from Duane and could soon be the Mayor of MU!
-
Com'on down Henry Ellenson. Be a "Wojo Warrior"!
-
Bump....Very good news and very good to hear..
-
Definitely sounds positive. Hoping that Wojo can out-duel his mentor for this one!
-
Oooohhhh!!!
The Henry and Nick show at MU!
Premiering in the Fall of 2015!
-
Hope we see them together this winter at BMO Harris Bradley buying nachos at halftime.
-
It's really nice to hear that the current and future players are such active evangelists for Marquette!

Five-star 2015 forward Henry Ellenson working to become a more versatile player
Jul 10, 2014, 6:51 PM EDT
http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/07/10/five-star-2015-forward-henry-ellenson-working-to-become-a-more-versatile-player/
One of the best individual matchups of the first day of action at the LeBron James Skills Academy was the one consisting of five-star 2015 prospects Henry Ellenson and Ivan Rabb. While both performed very well in the first half of the contest, the fact of the matter is that neither was on the court at the same time. That changed in the second half, as they were faced with the challenge of defending each other.
With the resistance having increased, both had to work harder for their offensive opportunities. But that’s what the point of camps such as these should be, with the saying of “iron sharpens iron” being the one that applies. For Ellenson, the opportunity to compete with and against his peers is something he can use to his benefit as he works to improve his skill set.
“I’m just trying to take in everything that these coaches are teaching us,” Ellenson told NBCSports.com. “I worked with the bigs yesterday and tried to take some lessons from that, and I worked with the wings today. Just trying to soak it all in.”
The 6-foot-10 forward has been the object of attention for many high-major programs, and he’s part of a family that doesn’t lack for athleticism. Henry’s the third of four children, with two (Wally, who recently transferred to Marquette, and Ellwood) having already landed college scholarships. The tallest of the bunch, Henry’s next in line due to his wide array of skills.
While there’s been the need to go into the post to battle with some of the bigger prospects at the LeBron camp, Henry’s also shown off the ability to step out onto the perimeter and get things done offensively. And on the defensive end he’s performed well, both in the paint and defending in the pick and roll games that tend to dominate such camps. The goal for Ellenson is to be able to help a college program in a variety of ways, as opposed to being pigeonholed into a particular position.
“Being a ‘mismatch’ guy who can take a big man out on the wing and go by him, or take a smaller guy into the post. A guy who just really picks his spots on offense,” Ellenson said.
As a junior at Rice Lake (Wisconsin) High School, Ellenson posted averages of 27.5 points and 13.1 rebounds per game and was a unanimous first team Division 2 all-state selection as a result. And with that ability on full display, programs such as Duke, Marquette, UCLA and Michigan State were among those mentioned by Ellenson as being the most active in his recruitment at present time.
“I’ve taken visits to Marquette, Northwestern, Duke, Michigan State, UCLA, Iowa State and Michigan are some of the other schools that have contacted me,” noted Ellenson.
Of course, with the presence of Marquette the question of how much his older brother’s decision to join Steve Wojciechowski’s program will impact Henry’s decision comes up. And while it is something Henry has considered, according to him that won’t be the biggest factor when he decides on which school to attend.
“It’s a bonus, but overall I’m going to make the decision that’s best for me,” Ellenson said. “[Wally's transferring to Marquette] is just another positive for that school.”
Among the factors Ellenson mentioned when asked what he’s looking for in a school were his relationship with the coaching staff, the style of play and the program’s ability to develop its players into pro prospects.
Taking the style of play into consideration, the goal of avoiding being placed into one particular “box” is something that’s important to Ellenson. But it’s clear that he also understands the need to work hard enough at his skill set to make sure the positional options remain available. Because without the skill needed to handle multiple responsibilities on the court, it becomes tougher for the coach to place the player in a position where versatility is required.
“I’m looking to improve everything,” said Ellenson. “A lot of ball-handling, because I do want to be able to play all over the court and ball-handling is a huge part of that. Also, I’m working on developing strength and quickness.”

Kyle Singler anyone?

Kyle Singler anyone?
Yeah but with more of a Plumlee rebounding presence, I'd say.

If those are his top factors, I would choose Duke. We could do all those things for him but Wojo has yet to prove himself.

Then again it is a pretty generic description of what he wants ... what elite player would disagree with this?
-
It's funny how much things can change within a year. A year ago, with Buzz as coach, I would've said that the odds of us landing Henry were under 5%. He didn't seem like a Buzz switchable, and the running gag about never recruiting solid big men certainly carried some weight. I would've guessed we would have had a better shot (not much higher, but higher nevertheless) at Diamond Stone who appeared to fit within Buzz's program much more.
Now, today, we have a very realistic and reasonable chance at landing Henry with Wojo, and, to a lesser, but still realistic, extent, Diamond. Very cool.
Bottom line, whether it's a year, a summer, or a half in a game, things can chance very quickly. Things looked up a year ago. Things are looking even higher today. Very proud and excited to be an MU grad and basketball fan.
-
I agree. I'm just used to getting my hopes up only to have them dashed. I feel like a Cavs fan right now...full of promise and hope waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under me at the same time.

“I’ve taken visits to Marquette, Northwestern, Duke, Michigan State, UCLA, Iowa State and Michigan are some of the other schools that have contacted me,” noted Ellenson.
Interesting that neither UW or Minnesota are mentioned there at all.

This statement is confusing. Which schools did he visit and which schools have contacted him?

Wojo in Las Vegas watching Henry Ellenson
By Michael Hunt of the Journal Sentinel
July 11, 2014 6:00 a.m.
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/266731081.html
College basketball coaches are in the midst of the all-important July evaluation period, during which staffs may travel to watch prospects at various camps around the country.
Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski is in Las Vegas to keep an eye on five-star power forward Henry Ellenson, who will be a senior this year at Rice Lake High. Here is a report from nbcsports.com on Ellenson's progress in the LeBron James Skills Academy in Vegas.
The Golden Eagles recently tapped into the Ellenson family by getting brother Wally as a transfer from Minnesota. Whether it works out as a package deal remains to be seen because all of the major college basketball powers are in on Ellenson.
Speaking of package deals, center Diamond Stone of Whitefish Bay Domincan, one of the top recruits in the country, recently told the same website that his package deal with point guard Malik Newman is not set in stone.
UW coach Bo Ryan is out in Philly watching Stone.
Wojo has been successful with in-state players during his first four months on the job. Swingman Sandy Cohen of Seymour stayed after Buzz Williams left. Guard Nick Noskowiak is on board for 2015, as is center Matt Heldt of Neenah.
-
Interesting that neither UW or Minnesota are mentioned there at all.
I think Wally was mostly what gave Minnesota a chance. Last fall was the last time that they were really mentioned.

Would love to see Henry play for Marquette. He can lead them to a NCAA championship. When will he commit?

Haha. Why not?

Ellenson could be MU's future and we are the frontrunners to get him! When was the last time MU got a top 5 recruit? Has that ever happened?

I believe Doc Rivers was top 5. As was Bernard Toone.

The Destroyer, The Dream, McNeill, Chones, Luke, Tatum, Toone. Not sure about Doc but he was very highly regarded.

Why did he stop posting?
BMA not posting here is my fault. It's been brought up numerous times. Back when Chicos was critical of everything Buzz did as our head coach, while supporting Tom Crean when he left...we'd battle on....my point...why take up for the guy who left....and why be critical of our current coach in his first couple of years on the job...BMA sided with Chicos ultimately....and blamed me for him not posting. The reality is BMA never really got in the inner circle of Buzz, and therefore wasn't a huge Buzz fan...while he was a Crean fan...as he had access to more info under Crean..
WE all know 6 years later and Chicos still has a hard time not slobbering over anything Tom Crean, and defending Tom against anyone who write a critical post. I've yet to see Chicos be taking up for Buzz in any way, shape or form now that Buzz is gone. Zero credit for anything he accomplished at MU...yet 6 years later and he can't stop himself from standing up for Tom Crean. Hell, I loved Buzz, defended him like hell for his first 4 years - while some were still calling into question his ability/skills - but I can call it like it is...and not continue supporting someone who doesn't deserve it..once they're ego has become super sized....which is what happened with Crean after he became successful, same as it did to Buzz.

Grow up and move on!

Kentucky just offered Henry today per 247sports

Now we're fooked, hey?

Fook Euuuw Kaaaay.
Mouth breathin', cousin doin', possum eatin' door knobs.

While a challenge, we know the blue bloods will be all over him. We just have to stay the course and hopefully he chooses Marquette where he will be a super star.

I've called it like it is for Crean for many years...he's a jerk, prick, tough to work for, etc. That doesn't mean people get to make up stuff that is patently wrong or false. Some of us told you about Buzz over the years, but it took this year for folks to wake up to it.
As for defending Buzz, sure I have and I've also criticized him, too. I also said he would do well at Va. Tech, but I'm feeling a lot less squirmy with Wojo at the helm. http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=44300.msg633033#msg633033
My belief is Buzz walked into an insanely good situation at MU, a ready made team and he didn't screw it up. That bought him legitimacy, from there he recruited well. His second year, was fantastic, all things considered, and that bought him even more legitimacy. Sometimes in life it is all about the timing, sometimes its a bit of both. Yet, he also botched some things, some high profile things that he should not have been involved in...things his players did. When the administration clamped down, he took it as a slight, bad move. I feel less squirmy now, but thank him for his accomplishments.
If people say categorically wrong things about Buzz, I'll defend him. If people attack his wife, his skin color, his kids, as many here have done incessantly about Crean, I'll defend him. So on and so forth.
I wish Wojo all the best.

So Kentucky has offered Ellenson but may or may not be after Stone? Hmmm?

I think a lot of people are beginning to see Ellenson as a 3/4 with a good inside/outside game. And Stone's rise seems to have stalled.

Comically, I think you gave us the answer to why he no longer posts with this very post. The real genius is Keefe who I believe knew this was coming as an answer.
Brilliant.

I've decided I want Marquette to get Henry Ellenson.
And if that isn't enough to swing it to our favor, I don't know what is!

I doubt Keefe knew the answer...in fact...go ahead and ask him directly. It was yet another example of Chico's being a D-Bag...trying to bait someone into uploading the exact post. I simply owned it and gave the answer instead of for about the 10th time in the last two years...after Chicos posting: I miss BMA...which in turn sparks the very question Keefe asked...Chicos posting the link to the post where BMA gave his reasons...which ultimately are what I describe.
Sadly, if Chicos weren't so hell bent on tearing down Buzz his first 4 years on the job, all the while trying to take up for his mancrush on Tom Crean....none of the crap would have gone down...that lead to BMA getting "mad" at me...and taking his ball and going home. It is more than 6 years later and Chicos still has to defend Tom Crean. I stopped defending Buzz Williams last January...even though I had a ton of love for Buzz in his prior 5 years on the job. I took a ton of sh$t for my love of Buzz early on...and ironically have taken a ton of sh$t from many of the same posters here he used to bash me for the Buzz love...this past season when I was highly critical of Buzz.

When my kids were little, the older one could sometimes beat up on the younger one as kids are wont to do. When his excuse was "well he made me do it," it didn't really fly with me.
So stop blaming Chicos for your inability not to respond to him.

Can we PLEASE stop this complete nonsense about posters being "driven away"? If BAMA, Brew, Hoopaloop and others choose to no longer post here that's their choice. Nobody drove them away. They're grownups who got in their own vehicles, turned on the ignition and drove themselves away. Miss them or not, their absence is their choice. Want to bitch at somebody about it? Bitch at them. The whole "I didn't leave Scoop, Scoop left me" meme is a big whine we can all do without. If they want to return, they're welcome. If they don't, that's ok too.

And just as my point was...you often post in response to things you disagree with...just as I did with Chicos for the first 4 years of Buzz's tenure...when he'd bash Buzz at every chance...to which BMA had an issue with my defense of Buzz.
So in the future, please refrain from posting anything where you disagree with what the quoted poster, posts, okay? Nobody is making you post rebuttals. Take some personal responsibility.
As for BMA, yes he brought good information here, but he turned out to be thin skinned baby - those usually don't last very long here. He could have taken some personal responsibility and my posts certainly shouldn't have caused him to stop posting. So its okay for BMA to blame me for him not posting, yet you take issue with me blaming Chicos for posting what I posted? Uh okay.

I will just point out that a lot of what BMA complained about back in that epic post three years ago still rings true today...
"...your willingness to attack anyone who might express even the slightest of bit of an opposing view"
"...your inability to make a coherent argument without resorting to name calling"
"...your inability to ever let anything go"
"...following posters from thread to thread attacking them"
I'm done. The board doesn't need this. I'm just sticking to basketball. I hope you can manage to do the same.

Give me a break....it's a freaking message board....with varying opinions. Do you guys let things go?

So you guys aren't attacking me, when you disagree and post contrary opinions to me...in virtually any thread that begins? I can find numerous threads where you guys disagree...does that mean you are "following from thread to thread attacking me.?" Why are you guys any more "right" than I am - why aren't you "attacking me," when you disagree and carry on? I'm convicted in my convictions just as others are...doesn't mean you need to change your beliefs just to please those who disagree.
Jesus....you act like you don't attack people's arguments...and state a dissenting opinion. I don't get all think skinned because you/others don't agree with me and don't drop your counterpoints. It's part of the deal here...
And btw - those items listed - the same could hold true for you and many other frequent posters here..

I am with you. Henry will be a Warrior.
To both of you guys (and anyone else who has chimed in for that matter), aside from the momentum we seem to have lately, Wally's transfer, what else gives you guys such confidence that Henry will commit?
Have you heard anything else/talked to anyone in the know that leads you to believe he'll be donning the blue and gold in 2015?

Sometimes a bird talks to ya, sometimes the tea leaves just point in that direction, and most of the time, when ya been doing this as long as Goose, myself, and some others, ya just are feelin' it. Just gotta be be certain it's not gas pains ya feelin', hey?

Haven't heard anything that is #donedeal. Not by a long shot. But CoWojo does seem to have a great relationship with Henry and the entire Ellenson clan. Is that enough to beat out what the blue bloods have to offer? We will see.

I sometimes forget that you all have been arguing with each other for much longer than I've been on this site. This adds interesting context to some things.
Let's have our own dispute with each other so that all of our future posts in the same thread can have some subtext and angry tension.
I really do hope that Marquette is in a good position with Henry. He has all of the tools and more that I have dreamed about for a "complete" big man at the University. With him at the 4/5 it could be a heck of a lot of fun to watch the team in 2015 and on.

Are certain people here really too stupid to use the IGNORE button? I mean, this guy quit posting on a forum he had been on for years and years rather than just using one, simple click on IGNORE.
Show some dignity or willpower. Stop the OCD behavior to defend your manhood every time some stranger disagrees with you. It happens. It's normal. But if you don't have the mental strength to do it, then click IGNORE.

I said LATENT, NOT BLATANT ...
Reminds me of a joke Steve Martin used to tell when he was actually funny back in the '70s:
OK, I don’t like to gear my material to the audience but I’d like to make an exception because I was told that there's a convention of plumbers in San Francisco this week. ... So before I came out I worked-up a joke especially for the plumbers. Those of you who aren’t plumbers probably won’t get this and won’t think it’s funny, but I think those of you who are plumbers will really enjoy this.
This lawn supervisor was out on a sprinkler maintenance job and he started working on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7-inch gangly wrench.
Just then, this little apprentice leaned over and said: "You can’t work on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7-inch wrench."
Well, this infuriated the supervisor, so he went and got Volume 14 of the Kinsley manual, and he reads to him and says: "The Langstrom 7-inch wrench can be used with the Findlay sprocket."
Just then, the little apprentice leaned over and said: "It says sprocket not socket!"
Were these plumbers supposed to be here this show?

Your signature is hilarious. My favorite part are the reactions of the crowd

I have never seen him play, but based on what has been written about him I see Taylor and Fischer at 4/5 and Henry Ellenson at the three.
-
I think a lot of people are beginning to see Ellenson as a 3/4 with a good inside/outside game. And Stone's rise seems to have stalled.
Beginning to see aka finally starting to understand...Oct 12 on LNH (http://latenighthoops.com/recruiting-notes-usa-basketball-mini-camp-for-2015-2016-classes-oct12/#.U8c9EYm9LCR):
His strength and quickness are not areas of concern, but there is opportunity for him to be elite if these areas progress nicely over the next few years. In college, there is no reason Ellenson can’t be a 3/4 switchable type who can score at multiple levels and defend multiple positions.
At a minimum, he’s a very good college prospect. With hard work, I can see Henry winding up as a top 10 player in the 2015 class.

That's great news...can't wait for the Badger meltdown...if Henry comes to MU...which we all sure hope he does.
Though it sounds like Stone could potentially go to UW which would help soften the blow. Would be great to see those two guys both at MU...but..if not...if they end up squaring off against one another while at MU and UW...would be fun to see it play out..

If they get Sharma and Stone, they will not care one iota if Henry doesn't come to MU.

Verbal Commits lists Jaylen Brown as a UK offer, but doesn't list Gill-Caesar or Purifoy. Maybe those are the issues.

Could be, but since so much of it was apparently wrong I'm hoping he can enlighten all of us with the proper list.

I guess we're going to have to wait for the corrections on the UK recruiting list
