Juan had both an official visit and an in-home recently.

Jim has good info, but dude needs to change the look of that page.

My guess is ASU.

[MUCrew]

Awesome news...but one would have to think, considering the final 3 choices, he would stay closer to home. 

[willie warrior]

Does anybody know his ranking in the major recruit rankings, and what his HS stats are?

[mikem91288]

Why would MU be even in his last three if he "really wanted to stay close to home"

He was just here.... Keep your fingers crossed!!!!

[Skatastrophy]

Does anybody know his ranking in the major recruit rankings, and what his HS stats are?

Rivals has him as a 4-star and the #19 SF, #69 overall.
Scout has him as an unranked 3-star.
ESPN says he's the #40 SF, Unranked overall 3-star recruit with their scouts grading him a 92.

[GOMU1104]

#95 in the RSCI rankings

Just to refresh an old Juan Anderson thread

In particular, I recommend bma's comments.

70-30 he ends up a Sun Devil.

But, in that 30%, there's still a chance.

[foreverwarriors]

take it for what its worth but Mike Broeker just tweeted:
 
"today's going to be a good day!"

Again...take it as you wish

Totally keeping my fingers crossed for Anderson!

[Ready2Fly]

I've got a good feeling about this guy. He's a Buzz prototype. Let's break the seal today!

[tower912]

I like his skill set and hope he comes here.   Having said that, if I was forced to place a bet, it would not be on MU.

Was just going to post this. Wonderful news.

[chapman]

It's all over the Twitterwebs and Blogosphere now.

I hope he said he will be taking his talents to the corner 4th and State.

[cheebs09]

Anyone else worried we only have one commit at this time?

Great News! I think he will be a very good player for us. Sounds like he's a little bit under the radar but is very talented and skilled. I loved reading on another thread that he was very fundamentally sound.

70/30 eh?  Where did you come up with that?  Even before his commit, there was tons of evidence he was an MU lean if anything....

[APieperFan3]

per tweets from CrackedSidewalks and TheRecruitScoop...Juan has commmited to MU and Buzz Williams!!!!

[willie warrior]

Sounds great! Question how good he is. Looks like his national ranking is all over the map--from about 60 to 170.

Hope that the 60's for his ranking proves out.

[GOMU1104]

Regardless of where his ranked...this was a guy that Buzz targeted, went after him hard, and landed him over 2 schools that had alot to offer.

That is what matters.

TheRecruitScoop is a 16 year old recruiting analyst?

I did write there was a 30% chance. It was down to ASU and MU. And I'm certainly not alone in having heard ASU was a tough competitor for the commitment (either in this thread or in private).

I didn't see the "tons" of evidence for the lean. I heard the visit went well. I also didn't hear a word after the visit which is strange as usually something leaks for the lean. I heard he really wanted to play with his buddy at ASU but Sendek didn't close the deal apparently. Typically, for kids, playing with a friend can influence (see: Miller dropping MU without Bello being an option). What was all the evidence you had that he was a Marquette lean for some time?

Let's see what he announces. We need good news.

Well ESPN now lists him as having verballed to us.
