A little harsh towards Looney, no? The kid can go anywhere he wants. I assume he'll end up at Duke. Not a bad choice. Anyway, no loss...doubt he ever considered MU seriously. I would love to see Paul White at MU...but not because Looney isn't coming. White is a stud.

Feels like MU has a good chance to grab Stone. I'm liking their odds.

Not sure why anyone would consider playing at UW-Madison. But hey, to each his own.

I think he would "lose his respect" for Looney because Looney effectively eliminated Marquette while other schools were supplying under-the-table stuff.

"Allegedly" from some anonymous emailer.  I have some doubts that's true.

I don't really think that Looney is taking cash under the table, but either way I'm glad Buzz is no longer wasting time on a kid who never really expressed any interest in staying in his hometown.

I'm sure Buzz was clued in pretty quickly. Better than being strung along.

That was the same with Tokato, but many on this board were still recruiting him after we had no chance to get him.

Everything points to Looney leaving the state. Let UW waste their time and resources recruiting him and let their fanbase kid themselves that they were the runner-up when in fact they had no chance at all.

The same folks who were the only ones to have Dawson in the top 100.  Hopefully, they are correct on both.

These guys also have Looney ranked number 2.  They obviously don't follow the crowd which is good to see.  On the other hand, they don't even list Duke as involved with Looney.  And they list L.J. Peak from Whitney Young HS in Chicago as being from Gaffney, SC.

Apparently close to signing with MU.  Committed to Baylor out of high school, but took the prep school route and ended up with Duquane.  Is this the kid that punched the ref in high school when he was at Milwaukee Washington?  Either way good fit or no?

Why did he punch the ref is what I want to know. I missed that story!

I remember an early quote from Kevin O'Neill about recruiting the guys that everyone was after.  It went something like; "So and so will brag about getting in the door on this or that recruit.  Big deal, unless you land them you didn't accomplish anything."

All Buzz had to do was ax me

Agreed, the notion implies Coach K, Izzo, and Ryan are putting their careers and reputations on the line for Looney.

+1 on Sid!! Not saying this specific to Looney case, but Buzz knows when the game is being played at different level. He knows when piranha's are in the water and moves to next guy.

Well that's where he's from and he played 2 years there. He's also moving back there for his senior year.

Yeah. Regarding Looney being ranked #2, I think they recently updated that. He was towards the bottom of the top 10 last time I checked. Regardless, I've always thought they do a good job - I hope they're right about Dawson and Norris (if we get him).

Winters was rated 2 Stars by ESPN when he signed with Duquesne last year.

I heard that too. And I don't get that guy's emails. I'm not saying there's any truth to it, but his isn't the only voice.

On a side note, how do we pronounce some of these names.  Quevyn Winters and Kevon Looney.  Are they both Kevin?  Is Kevon actually Keh-vonn?  Spelling these days...

Looney is------Key Vonn

Didn't think of that.  Thanks!  Too bad we probably won't be saying it much,

When I get my Marquette Basketball news, I make sure it comes from Ogden and Co, a real estate firm offering commercial and residential sales, property management, and development with five offices in the Milwaukee area.
