Marquette Basketball Recruiting Chart

[Philawolf]

Hey Golden Eagles,

I used to keep up a NC State Basketball Recruiting Chart over at PackPride (the NC State Scout boards) which combined all the links and ratings from Scout, ESPN, and Rivals. It got difficult to maintain by hand, so I automated the process, and threw a basic UI together and put it up on the web. I did the same for all the other schools while I was automating it. I threw in YouTube highlights and Twitter feeds for every ranked recruit that I could find, and added the depth chart at the recruits position for each of their offers.

I started cleaning up the rosters on the ACC teams first, and then moved on to the rest of the BCS conferences.

BTW, I haven't gotten to validating the active rosters for schools outside the BCS conferences yet, so that data will be inaccurate due to red-shirts, prep schools, junior colleges and transfers.

Obviously this info does not contain any of the great inside info that you get here at MUScoop, as they'll have all the latest and greatest on Marquette Hoops, but it might make a nice compliment to the info you're getting here. It's more of a 10,000 foot view if that makes sense.  It'll also be an easy way to look at other teams scholarship situation.

Anyway, here is the Marquette page and a couple of your recruits' profile pages, (you can navigate to other schools at the top, its a bit wonky, but it should work if you select the team then hit the "Go!" button).

Let me know if you see any corrections, or have any questions. Hope you enjoy!

Wow this is sweet. Thanks for sharing!

P.S. We're the Warriors.

I'm glad you like.

My bad, I didn't know that you still used the Warriors sobriquet, thought you had switched over completely to the Golden Eagles.

[buckchuckler]

We have.  People can't let go.

[nyg]

Nice job, especially the links to each players profile.  Keep it up.  

[Alaskan Warrior]

We have.  People can't let go.

Why would we let go?  Let's just settle for "We are Marquette" and live with it.

[Goose]

Great job, thanks for posting.

[GGGG]

We have.  People can't let go.

Officially we have.  Unofficially we haven't and I won't let it go until the day I leave this mortal coil...or later.

Is Thomas really going to be a senior next year? Or am I reading the chart incorrectly?

And, we will always be Warriors.

You're reading it wrong.

Class year is the top header.  Position is the row description.

[jsglow]

Thank you.  Great work.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

wow! Super job  thank you   like the links to players

[MUrugger]

Thanks Philawolf--those are great links.  Has Philly let go of the LaSalle NCAA championship?

No, I think I'm reading it correctly: he'll be a senior. Currently, DJO is listed as a senior on the chart.

But Jake will have TWO years of eligibility...right?

We have?  When did this happen?

[Hards Alumni]

This is a great site.  I like the simple readable layout.

Its interesting that other than Looney, we offered no 5 star players. Hopefully that will change in the next few years.

We have offered a lot of 5 star players.  It all depends on which site you're looking at.  Looney is a 5 star on some sites and a 4 star on others.  We have offered a lot of guys like that.  If they are a 4.3 star that means at least 1 site has them at a 5 star.

I think I saw it mentioned in another thread, but Wilson and Burton will be playing in an AAU tournament in Milwaukee this weekend(Homestead and Milwaukee Lutheran). If anyone sees them play I would love to hear what you scoopers think of their play.

Like the chart.

Besides all the info on current and incoming Golden Warriors, it offers interesting examples of why one can't get too starry-eyed.

For example, Jae wasn't even a 3-star while Erik Williams was a 4. Mbao was a 3, higher than both Gardner and Otule. Derrick Wilson, Jamail Jones and Juan Anderson all were far more star-decorated than Todd Mayo. Etc., etc., etc.

Once you get past the obvious 5-stars, scouting services are VERY inexact sciences.

Agree totally, the system of ranking kids after the 5 stars is ridiculous.  Wilson, Jones and Anderson in my mind might be 1 stars, not high on any of them, hope I am wrong.  Juan may have
a chance as he played out of position last year, hopefully he will be good enough to pass Jones and be the back up for Vander. I do not see that much from DWilson compared to other guards in the Big East.  D is fine, O shows enough to dribble the ball up the court, maybe he will make a shot in the future.  Jones after 2 years, won the Cinci game for MU, but other than that game was a non-factor.  One thing positive I can say, is if they work hard on there game, there is an opportunity.

But this year, there are players behind them that will come in hungry for PT time.

Holy shite, this was a lot of work.  Thanks hardly seems to cover it.

He will, that was an oversight on my part.  I've added his expected red-shirt designation for the current season (and filled in his weight).  Just to confirm, I have him coming in as a walk-on, is that correct?

[Philawolf]

Holy crape, this was a lot of work.  Thanks hardly seems to cover it.

Being able to show my wife quotes like these definitely helps ease the tensions on the home front.
