A weekend full of updates

Written by: noreply@blogger.com (NY Warrior)

Just in time for your Monday time-kill at the office.......

First, a look at recruiting.  2009 Chicago point guard Chris Colvin will take his official visit to Marquette this weekend.  Colvin, a senior at Whitney Young, is also considering USC, Iowa State and Providence. Per the Bullseye Brothers each of these programs stands an equal chance of landing him.    Colvin will be on campus for Marquette Madness which  is scheduled for 6pm on Saturday, October 25 in the Al McGuire Center.

There is a brief blurb about the start of practice at gomarquette.com.  Not only that, but MU is rolling out podcasts at a breathtaking rate these days.  The previous link has podcasts with Lewis Orr, Scott Monarch, and Robert Frozena.  Plus, Dominic James and Jimmy Butler recap the first weekend of practice.  (Again, all of the links open up mp3's directly).    There's plenty more in this informative series -- here's the landing page.

Over the weekend Bob Wolfley of the Journal-Sentinel filed this report which included updates from MU -- mostly on player reactions to the new coach.

BIG EAST media day will be held this Wednesday in NYC.  Ahead of the curve, Adam Zagoria picks MU for an underwhelming 7th in the Big East -- which I suppose speaks to several factors, namely coaching turnover, a much-improved league, and MU's rotten front line.

the more i think about this season the more excited i get. i actually dont mind seeing predictions where MU finishes 7th in conf- it gives the staff some bulletin board material i suppose

the most shocking thing to me is looking at the guys All BE teams. i mean honestly looking at the 2nd team hes got there shows how stacked this conference is- Blair, Young, Williams, Hayward, Harris... that list is loaded

btw Louisville, MU, Pitt, and Uconn each have 3 guys in the top 20

ps i think MU will have a good year and i predict mcneal, james, and hayward all on the first team with mcneal as POY... I also would take sosa, reynolds, and devendorf off the first team and add Lazar, Sam Young, and McDermott to it
