Well, well well.....look who's coming to Madness....

[ChicosBailBonds]

I can tell you that back in the early 80's, the only place that rivaled Mad-town on Halloween was Southern Illinois.  Both too much fun at Halloween...

UC Santa Barbara and Ohio University during Halloween were also major events....and the UCSB babes never disappointed.

Chapel Hill annually has 60-80,000 people descend on Franklin St from schools all over the SE. They come from as far away as UVA and you have to see it to believe it.

Van Blue's Facebook status is "MU here I come!". I know he's only talking about MM, but God I love those words

Vander is actually on campus now. He started his official visit sometime today.

I wonder if any of these guys will commit this weekend?

I hope Blue is enjoying his time on campus today/tonight.  Any sightings or insight pass them along!  We WANT Blue to be at MU - Go Marquette!

Anyone planning on hanging a banner from McCormick welcoming the recruits?!?

OK, just thinking as to why Blue would be coming to MU's as opposed to Wisconsin's.  Maybe Buzz can use Bo's lack of enthusiasm to his advantage anyway.

I left 2040s for my 10:00 class at 9:40 and saw Fulce walking out of Broken Yolk (where they all eat a ton) and thought it'd be cool to run into Blue.  Sure enough The rest of the team walks out with Buzz, and Buzz took Blue and Maymon to check out 2040s.  Buzz asked how I was doing on my way by.

I'm liking it more and more. Back in the day Chones and Lackey lived at the Catholic Knights building.
Nothing wrong with providing some upscale digs for upscale recruits.

You might want to talk to the basketball office to see if this is allowed. Duke's compliance office posted this on their boards a few weeks back and we don't want to jeopardize our position with a potential recruit.

A message from Duke Compliance
We wanted to offer a little more information about NCAA rules related to prospects on campus for official and unofficial visits. In general, the NCAA prohibits all public recruiting. To that end, coaches (and other staff members) are not allowed to comment, twitter, etc. publicly about a prospect until after the prospect officially signs with an institution.

In addition, an institution may not publicize or arrange the publicity of a prospect's visit to its campus. This extends to signs and other public displays around campus, even if no one from the athletic department is involved in the creation of the displays.

We understand that such displays are often done with the best of intentions, and we appreciate the tremendous support of our students and fans. If you are a student, you are welcome to introduce yourself to and have conversations with potential student-athletes on campus, just as you would with other prospective students visiting Duke. However, we ask you to refrain from creating or inviting publicity for any prospective student-athlete on campus. This includes signs, t-shirts, chants, and other similar displays.

Please feel free to contact the Compliance Office at compliance@duaa.duke.edu if you have questions about these or any other NCAA rules.  Thank you for your support of Duke Athletics.

I mean I want Vander to committ to Mu as much as the next person, but facebook stalking this 17 year old kid is a little creepy.

My only question is why are they checking out 2040?  The entire team has lived in Humphrey for quite a few years now and I can't really see them changing from that. 2040 isn't university housing and with the number of open rooms Humphrey has had the past few years I'd be surprised if the University allowed a move.  Unless the boys want to pay for their own housing that is.  I know a few volleyball players that used to live in St. James so maybe if they really wanted to be in a different building, I guess.  Who knows.

I was wondering the same thing, but Broken Yolk is attached to 2040s, so maybe they were just checking it out since they were already there.  I've seen O'Tule leaving and entering 2040s before so maybe Buzz is just showing him different places that MU students live.

Breaking News out of Marquette. Blue's mother has just stepped foot on campus.

[Lighthouse 84]

I guess this is why we can't pay attention to these types of sites...

the Warriors aren't even listed as being considered on this site.

What's the skinny on JP Tokoto?  Originally going to Kansas but changed his mind?  Can anyone confirm?

He'll be there, I'm told. Hard to think it means a ton at this point, but it certainly can't hurt.

[4everwarriors]

The key is Blue. When he commits, MU will be a major player in the recruiting game.  It will define Buzz's tenure. That's something Crean never was able to do.
