Sam Cassell Jr. to Take Visit to Marquette

[GGGG]

Cassell's official visit to MU starts today per Paint Touches.

[Newsdreams]

So, no posts about TC/IU contract yet?

Said he "enjoyed the visit" (said the same thing about the Missouri visit)

???  If Buzz wants him enough to have him come an official visit, who are you to say otherwise???

Are you confused regarding the concept of a message board?

You might be better off reading:
http://www.gomarquette.com/sports/m-baskbl/marq-m-baskbl-body.html

If you go there, you'll only get all content approved by Buzz, and only content approved by Buzz--without all those other other opinions you find so annoying that might taint your reading experience.

Now that's an in-depth interview!

If I were to bet, I'd say Cassell and Hill end up at Marquette and Missouri. Not sure if it will be in that order, but both schools are pursuing both players for likely one slot. With FSU's recent commits, I think they are out for Cassell.

Not sure where that would leave Shayok or the bigs. Wouldn't surprise me if we ended up with Cassell or Hill, Shayok, and a big (my money on Craig or Miller). Transfer history indicates that would be the prudent option. But all just reading tea-leaves.

Would not be surprised to see a transfer. I think we replace that transfer with a late JUCO or "Russell Wilson" transfer.

You mentioned FSU's recent commitments. I'm not sure a juco PG and a juco SF would scare away a SG. But I hope it does. It'd be nice to see either in MU uniform, though I'm personally much more excited about Hill.

Well apparently Buzz is visiting Ahmed today, so let's hope all goes well.  Would be nice to secure one of these guards and a big.

The Ville's two recent decommits at guard have come back to impact MU's recruiting.  Sam Cassell Jr. has now set up an official visit to Louisville, September 28th.

I don't know specifically, but if I were to guess I would think that MU is going to wait to see what happens with Hill this weekend.  My guess is that Cassell is going to UConn anyway.

[bilsu]

That is my feeling that he is MU's and was Indiana's plan B. MU wants him if they do not get Hill and I suspect Buzz is pretty confident at this point about Hill. However, that is how coaches set themselves up to get burned. Cassell may be plan B simply because he is a three year player versus Hill being a four year player.

Committed to Uconn.

Sorry, didn't see your post.

So much for the prognosticators.

Mizzou and Milwaukee are SO close to CT.

Before Louisville came into the picture, it seemed like Missouri and Marquette were more likely destinations, but the Tigers were zeroed in on Devin Booker and Marquette seemed more focused on Hill and Shayok. Cassell obviously didn't want to wait, so he went with two schools that were showing him the most interest at the time. Of course, when Louisville dropped out, that kind of forced his hand.
