Noskowiak Committed

[Groin_pull]

I do as well, just saying different strokes for different folks.  You can't win them all, would love to get every guy on our list but if we don't we will be just fine.

Totally hear you. People who proclaim a recruit as a "must get" are only setting themselves up for a letdown.

I would bet my entire life savings that Diamond Stone does not attend UW.

How much you got....does this include your 401K, IRAs, equities, etc

You're getting ahead of yourself. They're still convinced they are getting Looney

Lol, plenty.  I'd be hurting if I lost.  But I won't.

Just a little inside info here. Apparently Iowa State thought he was going to be signing with them this week. They had been on him for a very long time. They liked him much better than Koenig. UW thought they had time and played it too cool for school because his parents liked UW. Not worried about MU because they don't get get Richie Davis/Playground kids. MU liked him, but then Buzz went to every one of his games a few weeks ago. Exact words, "Buzz came in a swooped him up."  Bottom line: Buzz is a closer.

Didn't hurt that the kid is a big Marquette fan, not sure how much closing has to happen when he loves MU basketball.

He won't be "signing" with anyone for a long time.

ps. Travis Diener and Christopherson both played for Ritchie and ended up at MU

"Not worried about MU because they don't get get Richie Davis/Playground kids"

This is the reason I asked the question as the above is a fact. 

[Mayor Frank Ortis]

ps. Travis Diener and Christopherson both played for Ritchie and ended up at MU

maybe its just me but it sounds like his game is very similar to travis diener's

Mark Miller compared him more to Koenig than Diener

As did this guy....don't tell the badger fans though since they believe it is an outrage to compare anyone(especially an MU pledge) to Koenig.....lol

You may be underselling him Mark, BK didn't even make ESPN's top 100 list

Just to be clear I am not Mark Miller.....

Don't want there to be any confusion....Mark knows more about the high school talent in this state then anyone else

[BCHoopster]

BK is going to be a freshman in college next year, Nik is only going to be junior in high school.  It will be really hard to compare these players until 2 years from now to see the improvement on
him.  He still have 2 high school seasons to play, after watching the film, he has nice size for a soph, in 2 years he might be physically bigger than BK, who knows.   For sure, 3 seasons from
now, who knows how good he will be.  This commitment is nice but it is more important to sign some size next year.

The article talks about how Buzz attended many of Noskowiak's games.

It made me think just how rewarding and frustrating recruiting has to be. These coaches put in so much time into following numerous high school players and it has to be a big rush when one calls to commit and such a bummer if you finish say second or third to another coach/team.

sounds to me like the kid loved buzz/mu and when mu got serious on him he jumped ASAP...it has to help buzz to get and early/easy commit.

this kind of early commit from a top 100 guy is a big help in building a strong class.  IIRC, MU wasn't Duane Wilson was leaning elsewhere when Burton committed, Duane started to come around and things snowballed from there.
