Nick Faust....

[jfmu]

i am pretty sure i saw faust on campus this morning, could be wrong though. does anybody know if he is visiting?

[4everwarriors]

Should probably stick a surveillance camera in the Broken Yolk. Bound to frequent that joint if on campus along with the 2020 building.

[dmjt4160]

Fausts team is at AAU Nationals in Orlando right now.

nick faust is so fast he can run from milwaukee to orlando in the duration of a fart.

Sure that didn't conclude with the E1 T1 vs St. Louis championship game last night?

Baltimore Elite was actually bounced on the first day so yea Faust could be at Marquette now.

Colleges can't make contact with players at this point under NCAA guidelines since it's an Evaluation Period.  I suppose Faust could travel to Marquette and set up a campus tour like a non-athletic prospect, but he couldn't talk with anyone regarding athletics.

Ahh good point. He has visited Marquette already right? I highly doubt he would go out there again if theres going to be no contact with coaches or anything. Might as well just wait a week or two until you can take an unofficial there and have the whole staff present.

What's the latest on Faust?  Is Maryland the front runner?

[dmjt4160]

Hes visiting Louisville on September 4th along with a host of other top 50 talents.

As I said earlier in the thread nearly every "source" in Baltimore believe he is already done to Maryland.

What difference does it make who I am a fan of?

Im not posting my opinion on the matter, I am simply telling you that everyone in Baltimore with a read on his recruitment thinks he is MD bound. Im sorry if you don't like the info.

Just curious. If everybody in Md. thinks he is a lock for them, why has he not yet announced/committed? If he is still taking visits, then that suggests he has not made up his mind.

Could be.  Some kids also like to use up their full allotment of official visits to solidify their decision, or just to have fun.  There have been more than a few kids that have come and said they knew where they wanted to go but took all 5 trips anyway.

Thats what several have been asking. Kids often have their minds made up awhile before they announce. For one I know if I was him and I was offered a free trip to Louisville to watch a rivalry college football game, tour a brand new state of the art arena, and be courted for a weekend I would go regardless of how interested I was. During the summer kids often don't commit out of allegiance to their teammates and AAU coaches as big time prospects bring coaches to their teams games and give lesser known players a chance to get noticed. Maybe he wants to hold a little press conference thing at his school. Maybe hes 95% sure but figures it doesn't hurt to take a couple officials and make sure.

If I were a recruit I would take every single official. So who knows. Certainly possible he commits to UL on his visit or that he drags it out into the Spring. If thats the case it isn't good for either MD or MU.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

I'd especially go to UL.  Pitino is sure to be serving up the poontang.

I think you'd fit in better at Tennessee. The waitresses at the Waffle House don't shave their legs.

Yeah--that is a big benny--poontang on the restaurant table--Italian style--only problem is that Pitino will be dining on the best and the players will get the leftovers.

I would have no problem if Faust chose Maryland over MU, for various reasons:

-Hes from Baltimore
-Their Williams is more established and has a better history than our Williams
-The influence of Bino Ranson
-Maryland needs a guard like Faust more than MU does. There will be more PT available there.

I would not be shocked at all if he chooses Maryland...but to say it is a done deal right now may be a little bit of a strech. Things change constantly in recruiting.

All valid points, and let's not forget what the Maryland fan actually said.

As I said earlier in the thread nearly every "source" in Baltimore believe he is already done to Maryland.

He didn't say it's a done deal, he didn't even say he thought it was a done deal, he said that the locals believe it's a done deal. Just like all the people who have said JP Tokoto to North Carolina is a done deal, or Vander Blue to Wisconsin was a done deal. Until a player is signed, it's not a done deal. Let's not crucify the messenger who hasn't tried to confirm it as done.

[dmjt4160]

Faust is no longer taking that trip to Louisville. Hes currently setting up in homes and will only take 3 officials.

I'm assuming Maryland...but the others?

[dmjt4160]

They have in-homes set up with Oregon State, Florida State, Maryland and Marquette. Everyone else is battling for the final two in-homes. Those visits will decide which 3 officials he will take.

GOMU, how about we delete that post of yours! 

No need to point out reasons to go elsewhere!
