He'd never see the court at IU.

"LOUD NOISES!"

n a Florida State basketball class that is expected to be smaller than normal, Demarcus Croaker (Orlando, Fla./Jones) appears headed for at least one of the vacancies.

The 6-foot-3, 180-pound prospect has tried to be in near-constant contact with the Seminoles' coaching staff for the last calendar year. Relationships, specifically with assistant coach Stan Jones, have really blossomed.

"I really like Florida State and I have really liked them for a while," said Croaker, confirming that the Seminoles are his leader. "I have a very good relationship with the coaches and a couple of the players I know. I love the coaches and I love their style of play. They play defense and push the ball up the floor.

"That is definitely a place I could see myself going there."

Playing as a part of a stacked Florida Rams team this summer, Croaker has garnered additional looks and two new offers from Marquette and Texas.

"I don't really think it changes anything," Croaker elaborated on the Marquette tender. "I am going to go look into their school and I want to research everything and learn about the coaches."

Regarding Texas, he said, "I have just been chatting with the coaches about all the players that have come through that program and how they make it to the NBA, which is one of my goals."

After the conclusion of the summer circuit, Croaker intends to take a few trips to check out institutions up close.

And while none of them have been set up just yet, Florida State appears to be a favorite to land one of them -- even though it potentially might not need one.

"I don't have them set up yet, but I plan on taking some, though," said Croaker.

"I think with Florida State, if I wanted to commit, I don't think it would be a place that I would have to go to in order to commit. I know the coaches and that place pretty well already. Besides that, I think I would have to take my visits before I would consider committing."

The three-star recruit mentioned that if he doesn't make a prior to November, he will make his choice during the early signing period.

Another one bites the dust.

Another one bites the dust.

Larry's fault.  Or something. 

[strotty]

I want to say Reggie Rankin had the scoop first, but per Twitter Croaker is down to Florida State, Murray State and Texas.

[Groin_pull]

I think MU will survive.

[Lennys Tap]

Larry's fault.  Or something. 

It takes a unique talent to shoot point blank at sarcastic /funny and miss the entire target. Or something.

You obviously didn't see him dunk in warmups of a pickup game.

[Pakuni]

Croaker committed to Murray State, fwiw.
Good pickup for the Racers.
And hopefully a better driver than one of his future teammates.

Are you really a jagoff or just play one on the internet?

You know, some of you try to be comedians and recruits do read this stuff and your comments don't represent Marquette well at all. Think about it.

If a kid makes a life decision because an anonymous poster with no basketball skills or true knowledge of the game made a negative comment on a silly fan site then I am certain Buzz would be relieved someone that shallow opted not to attend MU.

I had a feeling that Florida State would be out of it when they got Xavier Rathan-Mayes.

Umm, half of those highlights show him donning a wife beater. Is that what he sends to coaches? Maybe him and Reggie Smith can join the And1 tour with their cute dunks.

Maybe you and some of your scared, white relatives can take English and Sociology classes.  Redneck

[MU82]

Settle down, if mr. Croaker doesn't come here because of a comment on the scoop, then my guess is Marquette is better off. He might be good, but everyone was all giddy over Reggie smith 2 years ago based on some summer ball mix tape. Just sayin.

This.

Hate to break it to my fellow Scoopers, but we don't have as much influence as we'd like to have.

White relatives?  Didn't the Italians invent the wife-beater?

[Parsighian]

I'll go out on a limb and say Buzz did not just watch the YouTube videos and say, "Wow, sweet dunks!" and then offer.

C'mon, fellas.

One would think but how do you explain Bret Roseboro?

[Parsighian]

Not going to impress too many basketball coaches and knowledgeable fans.

How many coaches make decisions on a highlight film??

Furthermore, the combined basketball skill on fan boards is negligible. Knowledgeable fans? Oxymoron, certainly with regard to critical evaluation of 14-17 year old talent. If you could do that you wouldn't be hunkered down in a cube.

I represent marquette when I post here? I guess my check must have gotten lost in the mail.

I think this kid fits in perfect with Buzz's scheme. He is extremely fast and will work well in our transition offence and just seems to explode when he attacks the rim. Hopefully we can scoop him up

I thought he signed with Murray?

[brewcity77]

Do you people even look at what you're quoting? The only reason for the bump was to announce he committed to Murray State. Stop trying to pick an argument that was over 5 months ago. You're late to the party. Deal with it.
