Cassius Winston announces 5 visits, MU not one of them

[Celtic Truth]

Winston announced today that he will visit(in order) Stanford, Pitt, Harvard, MSU, and Michigan. For what it's worth MSU is still at 100% in the crystal ball

[GGGG]

Yeah I think that ship sailed long ago.

[4everwarriors]

Next man up, hey?

[MUchamp22]

I have a friend who played in high school with Winston and is still very close with him. He says there is no way he leaves the state of Michigan and would be shocked if that didn't mean he goes to MSU. Told me he only put Marquette on his list because it "looked cool" to have high majors on his list.... That's an actual quote

[Norm]

Did Wojo and staff ever really put the effort in reaching out to Winston? Or was he considered pretty much a lock to go to MSU or UM so they focused their efforts elsewhere?

So your friend played for UD Jesuit?

[tower912]

There are lots of good players.   Wojo has already landed his share.    He will land more.

Yeah he's Sophomore in college now

No Wojo tried. I know he was at U of D a few times (also recruiting the 2 bigmen they currently have) and Cassius took an unofficial to MU. I also know that once we got Rowsey (who Wojo loves) we gave up on Cassius and any other point guard for the class. All along MSU has been the favorite, but we definitely tried to steal him.

We'll be fine next year with Rowsey and Traci.

Well, if a man wants to cheapen himself with the stench of second tier that's his choice....

[tower912]

Go Green!    Seriously, even the most ardent UM fans would never call MSU basketball 'second tier'.   Would loathe them, despise them, curse them, but never call them 'second tier'.

Good stuff.  I always felt that Wojo saw the writing on the wall and once he knew it would almost impossible, if not totally impossible, to land Winston he focused on Rowsey and 2017 PGs.

[Dawson Rental]

If Amir Coffey's Dad is correct about Amir's best position being point guard, then Wojo may be pretty close to having that 2016 PG spot filled.

Well, I hope Rowsey is the real deal then.

So, keefe isn't an ardent UM fan?  I smell a Haiku coming.

Wojo let Winston go a long time ago. He ain't escaping the high five state

All very good schools academically. I know he is slated for MSU, but it would not surprise me to see Stanford and Harvard pick him up.

Tens of thousands of University of Michigan, Stanford and Harvard alum just went "uuuggghhhh" while shaking their head's in disbelief and have no idea why. 

MSU is a good school but it isn't in the same conversation as the others.

chris webber's timeout
the fab five couldn't do it
Maize and Blue ain't Green

Magic and Mateen
Izzo frequent final fours
Green and White stands proud

Lost in old glory
Poor u of m fans cry out
"Behold what we were!"

"Big Jim has come back
The times they are a changing!"
A story retold

I love the smell of haiku in the morning.

In other words ...

Wojo cooled on him.
