Nick Faust....

[NersEllenson]

I will agree with the UNC, Kentucky or Kansas argument but you have obviously never been to Duke......even Duke students agree that their women leave a lot to be desired and head to Franklin St in Chapel Hill hoping to meet a Carolina girl......Duke is not so affectionately referred to as the University of New Jersey-Durham campus.....need I say more?

You are correct - haven't been on the Duke campus..and you need not say more regarding University of New Jersey-Durham..that paints all the picture I need.

Maybe Buzz can get some Duke recruits to come our way by telling them that Jersey girls are only marginally cuter than Milwaukee girls.  Plus warm weather is overrated and our beer is fresher.

The point people are making about us being a top 5 team in the 70s are making the exact point brought up earlier. We haven't been on that level in decades so of course Duke, Kentucky, UCLA, and UNC all have up ons us.

It was also a different ballgame back in the 70s, that was before we ever had to worry about BCS bs.

I love these threads titled for a potential recruit that has 1 post in them about the recruit and the rest of the thread is just bickering back and forth between posters about something completely unrelated.

Does anybody have any information on Nick Faust and his recruitment or should I just stop reading any thread with a recruit's name in it and assume it's not about said recruit?

Im a MD fan, we heard today that a commitment from Faust could be coming very very soon. FWIW I think if he commits say this week it is either to MD or Marquette because those are the schools that have been on him the longest. He hasn't gotten a Duke offer or something of the like that make him commit on the spot. There has been a ton of buzz about Faust to MD lately and several people feel ultra confident that we land him. Seems like there is a good chance that we will know soon but if his recruitment drags out more and more he will continue to get offers and take visits which wouldn't be good for either MD or MU.

Thanks for the info. I hope it's MU but if not I wouldn't mind MD. Much rather them than another BE school or even Duke, Kansas, or Kentucky.

It took almost 2 pages and a Maryland fan to get any information on Nick Faust in a thread titled "Nick Fuast." Kind of sad

It would be great for this kid to commit to MU. Hope he makes his mind up soon.

[Ready2Fly]

If I'm not mistaken, this is right around the time the Jamailman committed last year. It would be sweet if we got a lengthy athletic sniper two years in a row.

Obviously all of us who post here would like top 20 recruits to come to MU (except a few Badger trolls and some occasional conference rival posters), but the reality is that in most cases we will lose out to Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, and other signature programs...at least that is what our recent history had been under Tom Crean..we got down to a lot of top recruits Final 2 or 3, but ultimately kids decided to go elsewhere.  We are right in that next category.  Buzz is doing a great job, and I sure hope he can land  Faust, Dawsen or Hood - to me just gettin 1 of these 3 would be huge.

Believe it or not Mbao was offered by Kentucky.  Butler was offered by Kentucky.  UCLA and who knows who else offered Blue.  Buzz is a game changer for MU recruiting.  He won't get everyone he wants, but we don't have to back away and say "shucks" anymore just because a recruit has gotten interest from one of the top name programs.

ESPN doesn't even have MU listed? I heard at the Pro-AM in the next 10 days, he will come to MU.

What do you mean?  Within the next 10 days he will be at Marquette to visit?  I believe he already took his official visit here.  Do you mean within the next 10 days he will commit to Marquette?  That would be fantastic.

[dmjt4160]

He hasn't taken any officials. He did visit Marquette unofficially a couple weeks ago.

Thanks for the clarification.  I'm assuming that explains the "he'll be here in the next 10 days."

Sorry, I heard he will give a verbel commitment to play basketball at Marquette, from a good source at the Pro-Am.

We will see.

WOW really?!  I hope you're right!

[Blackhat]

The MU program will have officially shifted up a gear if Buzz lands Faust and a legitimate big in the '11 recruiting class.

Can you be a little more specific about a "good source", I don't need a name but maybe a little bit more info on who this guy is?

Dude seriously, change your name. 0-2 so far. And 0-3 if you include the first time Wilson was in your name. Jamil will never step on the court for MU is my prediction if your name stays this way.

[VegasWarrior77]

Change it to "Faust to MD 11"

Win

[Blackhat]

Bino Ranson another former AAU coach turned prime time college assistant has landed Faust for MD?

This will become a trend in college basketball... actually it already is.

[dmjt4160]

Bino has known Faust forever apparently. Dude has serious, serious connections in Baltimore. Might be just what Gary needs to actually land some studs since Gary clearly can't do it on his own.
