Duane Wilson deciding next week...

[wadesworld]

Wilson is like the opposite of DJO - he shoots it right handed but loves to dunk it with his left.  He looks good jumping off 1 and 2 feet, and the fact he can use his off hand to dunk exhibits uncanny athleticism...think he would be a great get for MU.  He comes, then Diamond Stone, along with Burton...could be MU/MKE's version of Michigan State's Flint-stones...

Don't forget Kevon Looney.  He's the guy I want maybe most (Stone's size is hard to beat...).  Extremely smooth.

I like the comment, Buzz knows, we do not.  If we all just take a break from this distraction (wanna ride bikes?) and step back a bit:

Let's look at the principals involved: A bunch of twitter happy 17 and 18 year olds who are completely unpredictable.  And Buzz and Tony.

Hmmm....Our coaches foster extremely close and honest up front relationships with their recruits. I trust them to know how they will fill spots on the team with recruits who are actually going to come here. 

All the speculation on this thread and this board is truly fun but, at the end of the day, it's all a a lot of mental whacking off.  Feels good for a minute, then you have to clean up and move on...

Looks like Duane Wilson took that comment off his twitter. Maybe he read this thread.

maybe he realized there is already a d. wilson on the team and doesn't want to put Du. Wilson on his jersey

[MUWarrior4Life]

what he said above says it all

[MUWarrior4Life]

The only distraction would be on this board and this board is always distracted about something.

Wat he said above

Duane Wilson Jr. was very impressive for Dominican tonight and Diamond Stone had a triple double.  Wilson would look great in a Marquette uniform.

Sam Dekker will be an outstanding player for the Badgers.

Leave the talent evaluations to people who understand the game.

Stone had 14? blocks.

I hope Duane's criteria for a decision between Missouri, Memphis, and Marquette consisted of who is going to make it the farthest in the NCAA tournament this year.

He plays at noon today for the championship if anyone is interested in an appetizer before the big game.

Cuba City will pose major problems for Dominican with their 1-3-1 defense and Cuba City has the size, athleticism and experience to be the favorite.  Very good test to see how Duane Wilson Jr. handles this defense and the game in general.  

His performance today is not going to affect my opinion of this kid as I think be should be a top or the top priority to add to Deonte Burton in the 2013 class for MU.  Based on what I saw of him versus Colfax in the semi's, there won't be too many point guards nationally who will be better fits for what Buzz likes to do in both the halfcourt and fullcourt.

One of the nation's top point guards in the class of 2013 will be making his college decision soon.

   
Point guard Duane Wilson is close to a decision.
Duane Wilson of Milwaukee (Wis.) Dominican has decided to speed up his timetable.

Currently ranked No. 128 nationally in the 2013 Rivals150, the athletic 6-foot-3 point guard had initially planned to make a decision in the fall.

Instead, Wilson should have a decision ready next week after taking a series of visits during the winter and fall.

Wilson's father and summer coach with Milwaukee based Playground Elite, Duane Sr., confirmed to Rivals.com that a decision will be made within the next week.

"It's going to be between Memphis, Marquette and Missouri, the three M's," Wilson Sr. told Rivals.com. "They all play a style that fits him."

Before he makes his decision, though, Wilson -- a unanimous All-State selection as a junior -- has some business to attend to. After scoring 22 points and dishing out seven assists in a win over Colfax in the WIAA D4 semifinals, Wilson will lead his team into a state title game Saturday night against Cuba City.

An exact day hasn't been picked for his decision yet, but it will likely come earlier in the week.

Hopefully he soured on Mizzou after last night.

Memphis too.

Ranked 128th nationally?  Why would we oversign for a guy down this low?

Come on man....what was Jimmy Butler rated? Jae Crowder? DJO? Todd Mayo? Lazar Hayward?

Not to mention he's a MKE kid.  You don't let Top 150 talent out of your own backyard if you can prevent it - assuming all things are in place with the kid from an attitude/character standpoint, etc.

[damuts222]

Every year I watch Marquette basketball I learn that the national ratings are only one measuring bar. For Marquette, toughness, intelligence, and most importantly the WANT to be a part of something. The players that Buzz is recruiting are the types of individuals I want at Marquette. High character hard working student-athletes. At most other schools the word student is lost. Buzz is one of the good guys and his work ethic is second to none and rubs off on the players.

That being said I trust in Buzz' judgement in recruiting, over-recruiting etc. Buzz is an honest individual and I'm sure he is being honest with incoming recruits and current players regarding there status on the team. Every year is renewable as he has stated on multiple occassions.

[TedBaxter]

Sam Dekker will be Mediocore

Hows this for an analysis?  Best player and college prospect that I've seen at the WIAA tournament since Joe Wolf.  That's 29 years of basketball in Madison.  Not mediocre.

We wouldn't officially be oversigning since a final decision on Otule wouldn't occur until the end of next season.
