OK Buzz lets move on and Get Darius smith.

[VwArrior1]

He would provide greatly needed depth at the guard positions and he is a hell of a defender.

[Fullodds]

Darius Smith has suggested his top three schools and MU is not on the list. 

[Boone]

MU wants a bigger guard, so signs point to 6'4" DeAndre Kane.

[Marquette_g]

So who are the names that are still out there for 2009 with MU as a possibility?

DeAndre Kane
Sherrod Wright - although I thought he had moved on
Victor Rudd
Glenn Bryant

Anyone have any updates on where we stand and if over-signing still looks like a realistic possibility?

[Boone]

Kane and Bryant are still very much in the picture...the others, no. Our #1 priority is a guard, so I'm sure we'll use Hazel's scholarship to get one. If we have another opening then I'd bet we land Bryant. 

[VwArrior1]

Rivals has Kane's stats for his senior year and he averages 33.1 ppg, is shooting 53% on his 3's, and averages 11 rpg as a guard WOW.  http://marquette.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=86201

[Pakuni]

I believe MU also remains involved, if not a finalist, for Xavier Blount, 6-foot-4 shooting guard out of Virginia Beach. He put up solid numbers in Va. (23 ppg, 7 rpg) after moving there following an all-state season as a junior in New Mexico.

Hazel's Leavng?

[Hards Alumni]

Still a rumor, but he hasn't sniffed PT for a long long time.

and frankly, he doesn't really belong on the team.

[VwArrior1]

It would only get worse for him with our depth now at the forward and center positions

[Boone]

Pakuni, Blount's a new name to me. Where'd you see we were recruiting him?

[Big Papi]

I think Latavious Williams is still a possibility.

[LastWarrior]

What about Snaer if Hamilton leaves FSU?

[Pakuni]

Pakuni, Blount's a new name to me. Where'd you see we were recruiting him?

I'm pretty sure I first read about it here.

[4thAndState]

I think Latavious Williams is still a possibility.

That would be an absolute coup if somehow Buzz would get L. Williams. He's 6-9 C/PF who plays on Junior's HS team. Saw him at the Al last winter. He's the real deal, someone who could make an immediate impact.

[MU Chi_IL]

Does anyone know the story with Latavious Williams, how he ended up at school with JR?  And has he qualified?
