Duane Wilson deciding next week...

[dw3dw3dw3]

Dominican is just down the road from me maybe I should go walk up and down Silver Spring in full Warrior garb.

Way to ruin the surprise Lance, couldn't wait 5 hours!

Lance Allan ‏ @lanceallan Close
Again in email Dominican spokesperson just said Duane Wilson will announce verbal commitment to @MarquetteU @muathletics tomorrow #mubb

[madtownwarrior]

wow - if true, lance allen should be ashamed for releasing it....

I understand the need for immediate news and being the first to get a story but come on, Lance! It's a high school kid. Let him have his moment. Why ruin it?

[cheebs09]

Technically 29 hours, but still that's pretty bogus if he let that out. What does Lance Allen gain from providing a scoop like that? Sure it's always nice to be the first to report it, but for a local news guy to do that like that is pretty crappy for Wilson.

[wadesworld]

This would be huge.  Not only will he be a great college basketball player, but hopefully Looney and Stone are both seeing all the Milwaukee basketball stars go to Marquette (and hopefully enjoy it and succeed).

[Skatastrophy]

I like how you guys are irritated with Lance instead of happy that we've recruited an in-state 4 star guard.

Welcome to Marquette, Duane!  Hope you can take a little time off of school this weekend to watch us punch our ticket into the Final 4

People, Lance Allen was reporting what was in an email from a Dominican Spokesperson.  Why would that person send the email?

Glad to hear, if true.  Duane is the guard I wanted the most to compliment Burton in that class.

It will be huge. Kid has great PG skills and is 6-2/6-3. Wilson is a great get for MU.

Kendrick Nunn, come on down...

I'm sorry....Who is Lance Allen?

I am ecstatic...I was just hoping for one of those made for tv moments with the hats of each team sitting in front of Duane, and then him picking the Marquette hat. Just so anticlimactic.

I would assume they told them so they would know it's worth their while to come and get the footage, not to tell everyone.

Anyways, in my mind, PG is now locked up 2013-2017. Maybe he doesn't take the reigns completely in 2013 right away, but close enough. YES!!!!

Grrrreat news.  Yeah, if it was leaked early against Duane's wishes that's super weak.  We're Nunn away from a dream recruiting class and exhibiting a pattern on bringing in both Milwaukee and Chicago's top talent.

Kendrick Nunn, come on down...

doesn't Wilson's arrival use up our only 2013 scholarship?

And let it begin...

I'm sure Buzz has things figured out, but the speculation on this board will run rampant. I have to say I love this signing, not only because Wilson should be a solid PG, but also because it positions us well to get Stone.

[Bob "Big Daddy" Wild]

Assuming Otule gets a 6th year, it oversigns us by one with Deonte Burton having already committed.

As of right now, yes

That would be 2012.  I believe Duane is a 2013 prospect.

[brewcity77]

According to Lance Allen, Wilson will be announcing Marquette tomorrow:

Mark Miller @WisBBYearbook & I just talked about this. Dominican spokesperson says Duane Wilson will make verbal commitment to @MarquetteU

[wildbill sb]

Anybody who can't see the talent in Decker is either blind or stupid....take your choice.

You gotta love those forced "either...or" choices.  

[Bob "Big Daddy" Wild]

Both are class of 2013:

Makes my day!!! Love this kid.

No, Otule's 6th year would be 2013-2014.  He would have to apply after the 2012-2013 season for the Hardship Waiver.

[Silkk the Shaka]

Neither Burton nor Wilson have signed or will be able to sign until November of this coming year.  Even if Wilson's commitment is true (if so it would be AMAZING) MU will not be oversigned.

I really hope this is true.  Wilson looks incredibly smooth on the break and his jumper looks money.  6'3" with athleticism by itself is awesome for a PG, but when you add in his obvious skill level on top of that the sky is the limit for him.  This would be a great, GREAT get.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Does this commitment suggest anything about the feedback from the Big East that Buzz has gotten regarding Otule's waiver?

They wouldn't be able to apply until after next season.
