Trey McDonald

[MarkCharles]

Another one bites the dust? I am holding out for Miller.

All signs point to a Baylor commitment in the next couple days.

[MarkCharles]

I checked OSU's scout board and there is no mention of McDonald at all, much less that he committed. We shall see....

"That's not to say we don't like high-school guys. But we'll always be inflicted with some JUCO guys as long as I'm here because I'm a JUCO guy."—Buzz during media day.

He's 3 for 3 with getting JUCO players in his recruiting classes, why would this year be any different?

Evan Daniels from Scout tweeted earlier today that he is hearing McDonald will make choice today. Tweet has since been deleted as it only said leans of OSU and DePaul. He has a new one up saying MU as well, but info on committing was taken out.

So McDonald is good enough for Thad Matta, who recruited Oden & Koufos (among others), but some posters here just write him off?  I hope these reports aren't true and he picks MU.

@EvanDanielscout: Trey McDonald is headed to Ohio State, per a source.

A bunch of tweets saying he's committed to Ohio State, a couple before that one even.

Matta obviously missed the youtube video. It's the only way to explain this.

yeah, I had seen that...though I was holding out hope until I saw Evan Daniels tweet it...

I blame the Marquette message boards.  Surely McDonald would have picked MU if not for that.

[ATL MU Warrior]

didn't he watch their football team get spanked on Saturday?  Why on earth would he go there?

[tower912]

Willie, call up Thad and let him know that Trey isn't good enough for the school of Oden.   Let him know what a mistake he is making.   

[Aughnanure]

This is disappointing.

[HoopsMalone]

Terrible news.  Missed on this one.

[MarkCharles]

Really disappointed by this, as much as any of the recruits we've lost this year. I had hoped he would be a step in a progression of MU developing high school big men. I don't know what it is with this program. We just can't get the guys we want, and it will continue to be a major hurdle that will prevent us from reaching the potential we have with the rest of the roster. Really disappointed.

I still have confidence that Buzz will sign somebody, but I don't have any idea who it will be. Maybe Keith DeWitt or another JUCO who would be ready to play right away. I just don't get how we can convince 4 star after 4 star to come to MU, but time after time strike out with much lower rated big men when we have tons of time to offer. This has been a problem for a decade.

Totally on board with a Keith DeWitt commit.  Let's hope Buzz can work his JUCO magic.

Ding ding ding....winning post. 

[brewcity77]

Keith Dewitt would be a really nice addition at this time, and after losing McDonald and with the Shaw situation seemingly having no end in sight, it may be our best option. Though honestly, I'd love to see us add both Dewitt and Shaw, but that might just be hoping for too much.

[HoopsMalone]

Dewitt smeems like he would be just as good and could maybe contribute more right away. 

[MarkCharles]

I wish there were more attention given to JUCO recruiting so that we actually knew who we were interested in and vice-versa.

Although, that would only lead to more disappointment.....

[MUWarrior4Life]

Heard Trey McDonald chose a Big Ten school? Anyone know who?

Ohio State never gets any good bigs, they deserve to get one every once in a while
