Time to update the scholly table!
Time to update the scholly table!
Shooting guard Haanif Cheatham just verbally committed to Marquette. He’s wearing the blue and gold hat now at Pembroke Pines Charter HS. If we get Henry Ellenson, I would argue that this class will be MU’s greatest recruiting class. Ever.
Ellenson (5 ESPN; 6 Scout; 9 CBS Sports)
Noskowiak (49 ESPN; 89 Scout; 68 CBS Sports)
Cheatham (78 ESPN; 80 Scout; 61 CBS Sports)
Heldt (Unranked on ESPN, but #17 center and #15 center is 89 overall; 56 Scout; 94 CBS Sports)
Just so we show some respect, I believe his first name has 2 a's and 1 n, not the other way around.
If someone knows better, please share.
That's correct. Too bad there were plenty of people that never could spell Davante's name correctly after four years.Wasn't it Devante
If we get Ellenson, our 2015 class will be #2 in the nation.
If we get Henry Ellenson, I would argue that this class will be MU’s greatest recruiting class. Ever.
I would argue that we should wait to see how this class does before we - as Denny Green would say - crown their ass.Well put, but it could be the highest RANKED class we have ever got.
For example, I have no idea what the 2000 class of Dwyane Wade and Scott Merritt (and Terry Sanders) was ranked, but the mere presence of Wade ended up making it superior. I mean, is this current class going to have a future Hall of Famer and a guy who averaged 10 ppg for a Final Four team? We'll see.
I'm guessing the same could be said about several of Al's recruiting classes, given that he sent numerous players to the NBA.
Make no mistake, I already am absolutely thrilled with Wojo's first recruiting class and will be even happier if Ellenson is a Warrior. But I would argue that there is a big difference between rankings on paper and production.
Let's let the kids play a few minutes - let alone a few seasons - before we anoint them, no?

Plus Wojo beat out Brent and a lot of good schools for Haanif. Welcome to MU!!
There must be some sort of mistake here. These top 100 players can't really be coming to Marquette. Buzz said he left because the New Big East TV package was garbage and it was not possible to recruit top players to the New Big East. Could it be that Buzz if full of something that smells bad?
Welcome to Marquette University,one ofthe greatest basketball schoolsin the country!
Well put, but it could be the highest RANKED class we have ever got.
His name sounds like it came out of the Hunger Games Trilogy. Perhaps we should change our mascot from the Golden Eagles to the Mockingjays!Golden Eagles to Warriors!
Golden Eagles to Warriors!
Maybe Golden Warriors !!
If you include transfers, Kevin O'Neill's 6 recruit first class (1990) would probably win out, although Ellenson would be the highest ranked player in either class, and highest ranked recruit since Doc Rivers (1980) or Bernard Toone (1975).
The high level of this recruiting class, especially if Henry finishes it off, I think goes a long way to debunking the notion that the Big East is quickly sinking to the ranks of mid- major status. We'll have to see what the others do too, but if just three or four of schools like Georgetown, 'Nova, St. John's, Butler, maybe Creighton hopefully can pull in natinally ranked hauls as well (just not as good as ours hopefully) ;), that will be huge for a conference trying to establish a brand and indentity nationally.

Seton Hall has an excellent class coming in and it's not at all just Whitehead. Delgado and Nzei would = no rebounds for the opponent.yes, but can they all stay consistent(SH,PROV,STJ) and continue to bring in good talent.
Providence has Alex Owens (another rebounding stud) and Ryan Fazekas in 2015.. and PC and Lindsey this year. Really good recruiting.
Plus I often hear DePaul is a sleeping giant.
I think St. John's will come through as well.
Plenty of talent coming into the Big East.
Obviously Al's classes were great, but based on the "future nba" player criteria, over the past few years we've had more former mu players in the nba at once that Al ever did

Or Dwayne's.Including reporters because that is how and why I misspelled it a couple times. Especially Wade's. Some spelled it Dwyane instead of Dwayne.
And that includes the Al years when the ABA was still around.

Not certain that's accurate.
IT ISN'T! Please see my post just 5 above yours.Thank you MU82 for schooling the heretics. Al was the man and put MU on the map. All that have come after him may be good coaches, but none will ever replace Al.
Question: In the Al era, there were many guys who made the league but did MU ever have three players competing at as high a level as Wade, Wes and JFB?
One thing you are overlooking.
In 1974 there were 18 nba teams, now there are 30 teams plus developmental league. That's quite a few more players that can make a nba team now vs 70's.

No one has played to the level of Wade, but that's one guy and a special player. Wes? and JFB? I would categorize them as solid nba players. Certainly not perennial all stars.
Congrats on the Pick up guys, obviously if it couldn't be us, I'd rather he pick you and keep the talent in the BE.
Haanif, welcome to Marquette! You will make a mighty Warrior.
In unrelated recruiting news, Malik Beasley committed to Florida St. He had Brent Tech as one of his finalists.
Makes Haanif's commitment that much sweeter.
He also had us as one of his finalists...
I mean I know its early but currently according to 247 were number 11 in recruiting class and VT is number 75. Even DePaul is ahead of VT right now. Hows that lack of Big East recruiting again?
I guess I get annoyed that we feel the need to keep bringing up Virginia Tech. It really seems like the teenage girl who keeps commenting about how ugly her ex's new girlfriend is.

Heres the thing though. He made it a point to basically rip the new conference and praise the ACC. MU is dominating the recruiting scene right now, especially if Henry commits. I will make a wager that VT will not get one top 100 recruit for 2015.
Like it or not, it's human nature to do this. You might be annoyed by it, but it would give a lot of Marquette fans great joy to see Buzz fall flat on his face.
I think "dominating the recruiting scene" might be reaching a little, but your enthusiasm is great ;D Brent's history suggests that he will be able to pull recruits, so I would wager he would pull at least one top 100 recruit.
Is it? Because I know plenty of teenage girls who move on and wish their ex's and their new girlfriends happiness. Or even better, they don't give them a second thought at all.
But there was also the ABA, no?

It was a slap in the face to his team and all MU fans. Id be lying if i said i wouldnt be happy to see buzz lose..hard,at least a coupple seasons.

I think this is an appropriate response to my own post.
Unfortunately, who broke up with who is one of the most popular topics where I work. It's one of the hazards of supervising college students.

No one has played to the level of Wade
Maurice Lucas. Hall of Famer Bill Walton thought so much of Luke as a teammate and, more importantly, as a man he named his son after him. Luke Walton went on to play in the NBA and now coaches with the Warriors. Somehow that is only fitting.

As a pro, Wade is likely the best. But at the MU collegiate level, an argument could be made for a number of guys that played to the level of Wade including: Meminger, B. Lee, Ellis, Kojis, T. Smith and G. Thompson. Probably forgot a couple, also.

Back in the day, Lucas was the prototype power forward who struck fear in the heart of the opponents. He was an incredible leader. Not taking anything away from Wade at all but Lucas was most definitely an equal. Tough was an understatement in describing him.

Link isn't getting me anywhere, but I noticed Steely Dan in there and quickly figured you were going to this song.Through With Buzz
He takes all my money
You know I'm through with Buzz
Yes I'm through with Buzz,
All right, oh yeah, uh huh
He's not very funny
You know I'm through with Buzz
Yes I'm through with Buzz,
All right, oh yeah, uh huh
I remember when he stole my girl
Drug her all around the world
You know I'm cool, yes I feel alright
'Cept when I'm in my room andit's late at nightI'm on MUScoop
Maybe he's a fairy
You know I'm through with Buzz
Yes I'm through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh, all right
Thank-you Haanif for helping my attention divert from the arse whooping the Pack took last night and the Brewers nine game skid! This class will just be so stellar if we get Henry, and I think we're getting him, I'm putting it 85/15 he's a Warrior come November signing period.
Apologies to Haanif for the delay, but he finally made the scholarship table!

Thanks for the bump so I can pat myself on the back about...
...this. Good call.
Do we have a realistic chance of landing Stone and/or Ellenson? One more than the other?
We will not get either.
Yea man, you nailed it
