He has much better upside potential than Borro as a player. I like the fact he played a ton outside the basket because his ball skills are high for a big guy. In right system he has a chance to be an impact player in college. IMO he either sits on the pines at a school or finds a place to be standout player and nothing in between.

Goose -- that was sort of my point -- even with minimal growth, he could be Borro-quality -- IMO he potentially has a ton of upside and would be worth investment.

I'll say it again, younger fans should be so thankful for Crean and Buzz putting MU back on the map. <Insert grumpy old man voice> When I was in school in the late 80s, our team was made up of a large percentage of guys who couldn't even be walk-ons right now. To be talking about guys like Philip Nolan, Burton, Taylor, etc. and all of the other possibilities is truly remarkable. This is a great time to be an MU bball fan. Be thankful.

Agreed on your post big time. My point was I think he a high bar, much higher than Borro, and in right place he could be a stud. For whatever reason I think it is going to be one extreme or the other with him.

According to ESPN predictions, the experts believe Nolan will qualify.

Paul Biancardi, Joel Francisco, Mike LaPlante, and John Stovall predicted Marquette to get him.

Dave Telep was the lone expert to predict Nolan going to a prep school. Adam Finkelstein picked Baylor and Reggie Rankin selected Minnesota.

On a side note, Noel appears head to Kentucky so we wont have to fear him playing for the hoyas.

How can they possibly know if he will qualify?

Agreed, if this were the late eighties we'd be salivating about Nolan as if he were a top ten guy or at least the second coming of Mike Bargain (sp?).

Mike Bargen? Completely forgot about him. Sad to say but that was decent signing for the times. Some of us really experienced a dark period in Warrior history. I remember believing that Mike Davis was going to get over the hump every game and going home disappointed every game. Thankfully we are recruiting different type players today.

No offense to guys like Joe Nethen, John Leurck and Rod Grosse, but when I think back to those days, it makes me laugh.

Makes me cry. I remember first time talking to KO and telling him you have nowhere to go but up. The guys you mentioned, and respect they played for MU, really represented a dark time.

My saddest moment was in 1985, I think, when I heard that Marquette had gotten a commitment from a basketball player from Michigan named Rice.  First, I stupidly thought it was Glen Rice, then I found out it was some other player from Michigan also named Rice who was like fifth team all-state in Michigan.

Joe Nethen was actually a very good player.  Unfortunately, He made Dwayne Johnson look like a genius.  Did he ever qualify?  I don't think so.

Rod Grosse, a top fifty recruit from Minnesota and he was a center!  When he got to MU, he looked liked he'd never played before.  Career numbers roughly equivalent to Ivan Renko.  This was my first awakening to the fallibility of recruiting services.

Twenty-five years ago recruiting a Minnesota prep basketball player was the equivalent of Gopher hockey recruiting in Texas.

Much rather have him then Durley. He'd be the highest ranked big man MU has gotten in 20 years. For the most part, any big man signing we had, was a complete joke (i.e. Mbao, Liam McMorrow,etc.)

Except he's not a big man. He'll play as big as Novak.

With rumors of all these new recruits and transfers possibly coming on board, it sounds like Marquette will have an 18 player squad.

I sure hope so. 6'10" and was hovering around the top 100.....an extra year at prep and he should be solidly in the top 100.  He could very well be in the top 50 next year.  He has length, athleticism, and skills.  That is a good "project" to work with.
