Nunn visit schedule

[TallTitan34]

The California Penal League worked out alright for this guy.

When OSU's football team loses with recruits in town, the boosters just reach for the bigger duffle bag of cash and prizes to help make the case for becoming a Buckeye.

I live in Columbus...and I hate to say it... boosters may throw cash at these guys Matta brings in...but my money has Nunn coming here on 10/6...a night game against Nebraska...This town is crazy for any buckeye game, but a BIG TIME opponent at night and it is ELECTRIC.(win or lose)  Marquette doesn't have football and I didn't miss it at all...but you go to a night game at the Shoe, and it is hard not to get a little extra charge.

That's exactly when Nunn will be in Columbus.

That's great—except that Nunn doesn't play football. I'm sure it's a wonderful atmosphere, but I've never understood why a hoops recruit would fall in love with a school because it's football-crazy. If I'm a football recruit—of course it makes sense. But as a hoops player, I'd want to know if the school is passionate about basketball—or is it just an afterthought.

+1...but it is easy to let the mind transfer that fan fervency from football into basketball for a high school kid.  The good news here is that Nunn has been to MU big time games, and he seems grounded on his hoops criteria after his A&M false start.

i have to believe it's just as easy to let the mind transfer to "man this is really a football school, where football is king."  it must have a positive effect on recruits, as big time football schools do this all the time, but if i were a recruit i'd want a school where basketball was king and got taken care of first. 

[avid1010]

Yeah, I feel bad for this guy...

i do.  i take no pleasure in watching any high school kid go to jail, nor do i take pleasure in paying for him to sit in jail, nor do i think his jail sentence was unfair.

Believe it or not, a lot of these guys want to be part of the student body and want to be part of a vibrant overall campus experience.

Is it so hard to believe that a basketball player would love to be part of a spectacle as awesome as Ohio State football -- or, for that matter, that a football player would love to be part of a spectacle as awesome as Kentucky or Duke or Kansas basketball?

I mean, none of us was on the Marquette basketball team but we sure loved rooting for the Warriors. Many of us chose Marquette at least partly because of the basketball team's success even though it had nothing to do with our business, journalism, philosophy or nursing majors.

You beat me to it by eleven minutes.  Unfortunately, I believe that you are spot on.  Hopefully, MU makes more sense for Nunn basketball wise, and he comes back to that.

Unfortunately, how good a school is in football could have a big effect on how good of a conference the school might end up in. That could be a legitimate concern for a hoops recruit. Nagasaki?

Tampa Bay?
Denver?
San Diego?
Moscow?

Give it a break, I don't think the fans are going to meltdown if Nunn goes somewhere else... The whole Hiroshima, Nagasaki thing gets way over played.

I can honestly say MU hoops did not enter into my decision to become a student. If I was going to select a school based on its sports teams....I would have picked a school with football. And I certainly wouldn't have attended MU (I was a student during the Dukiet years).

I understand the excitement that a big-time football game can generate on campus. But if I'm a hoops player, I'm much more concerned about the status of the basketball team. Why go to a fotball-crazy school where basketball is a complete afterthought?

I don't believe any player is a "must get." And certainly not Nunn. He's a decent player, but somehow, I think MU would survive without him.

[strotty]

I would be just as happy with a player like Darin Johnson as I would be a player like Nunn. That being said, I hope Nunn commits because he seems like the highest-major target Marquette is after. But we're not talking about his teammate, Jabari, here.

Rest assured, OS is passionate about Basketball. If he is looking for the big time atmosphere, then going to OS for a prime time night
football game against Nebraska is a good as it gets.

Sure, if you don't mind being in Ohio.
