#91 - Cinemon Bowers

Would be a nice addition as far as names is concerned, lol

[mileskishnish72]

Be nice to round up the three locals.

[john_cocktoasten]

I'm glad to see that we are only recruiting 6'4" guards.

[marquette99]

Maybe tokoto slipping a few spots gives us a better chance at him, so I don't mind.  If we got him that would be four top 50 players on the roster at once with vander, jamil and junior.  Wow!

[brewcity77]

No point guards we're looking at there, but a surprising dearth of them at the top. Only one player listed as a point in the top 20...didn't check all the way down, but that surprises me.

EDIT: Also nice that we could potentially land 3 Top-100 recruits without leaving the Milwaukee Metro.

Tokoto drops a little

In the rankings, not in the schools recruiting him or who have offered.  Sometimes as a scout you have to pay attention to the opinions of the top coaches.

[Dawson Rental]

Cinemon Bowers has dropped a class, he was originally a 2011 recruit.

Philip Nolan (Milwaukee Vincent) is already 6'10".  Could this be a BIG GET for Marquette?  Bowers is listed as 6'7" and 240 pounds.
