Isn't there a rule about fans contacting recruits regarding recruitment?  Wonder if the proper authorities have been made aware of this, if it indeed is an infraction.

Maybe there is a "future face of the program" exception.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

MU is—and has always been—Nunn's safety school. That's why he keeps retreating as Buzz advances. Nunn will not be coming to MU—and was never interested in the first place. MU was a nice fall back if all other options dried up. Nunn now has Illinois and OSU. Two schools in a stable, major conference.

You keep on ranting incorrectly about conference instability.  Did I need to remind you that we are not a football team but rather a basketball team. 

It's now time you get a grip and realize stability is here now and the schools left over in the BE ... Gtown, MU, Nova, St' Johns Providence, Memphis, Seton Hall etc. could send more teams the Tourney than the B10.

ND leaving for the ACC is not going to affect Nunn's recruitment. 

What will affect Nunn's recruitment is the dysfunctional nature of Illinois, how horrible they have been the last five years and Groce was something like their fifth choice as a head coach, and got the job because Ohio pulled off one upset in the Tourney.

It's soooooo hard to tell with twitter-length posts, but all I see there is a guy enjoying his time in the spotlight. If I was getting shout outs like that, I'd be retweeting them left and right too.

If we start seeing tweets written by him praising the school / coach / team, I worry. Until then, I think it's just a kid enjoying his fame. More power to him!

I remember the way Al and Earl Tatum tweeted and re-tweeted.

Man his twitter is flooded with Illini fans sucking up to him. And he's retweeting every single one. Could be a bad sign that he is really liking his visit to Illinois, or that he is just showing respect to his followers with retweets.

That's an awful lot of love for a 17 year old to turn down.  Be it numbers or just the culture here, I don't see our student body showing that kind of support for a recruit visiting, even if it were a top 10 recruit.

The worse thing that could happen is that his dad makes him follow through on his visits when his mind is already made up. That would put us at a huge disadvantage (ala the Gabe York decision) moving forward with other recruits.

Marquette isn't for everybody and that's ok, just hope he let's the staff know to move on if so.

Next please.  as evidenced by his tweets... he loves the bright lights and attention.  Hard to fault a 17 year old for that.  Hope there's no more to the ec Williams no show than a scheduling conflict.

Good luck this season Marquette fans! I'm out!

Jay Bee

I heard Nunn was turned off by Al's Run.  Didn't want to be forced to participate next year. 
REJOICE! Eric Dixon has been suspended!!

NersEllenson

It has been very clear throughout the Nunn recruitment that he wanted to be able to play from Day 1 at the school.  At Illinois, that will certainly be a lot easier, than it would at Marquette - where Nunn would likely* be behind Mayo and Vander.  On the other side of the coin, if Nunn really wants to be a part of a winner from Day 1 that will have Elite 8/Final Four potential - MU is a much better choice - as it is if looking at a head coaches track record for developing and sending players to the NBA.

Nunn is probably a nice player and would complement Mayo, Blue, then Burton and Duane Wilson.  He is not a savior of the program and the hype about this kid has really skyrocketed, as his ratings have diminished.  If he does commit to MU, I really don't see him jumping in front of Mayo or Blue anyway. I honestly believe Mayo will be a complete stud this year.

Would I and others be glad if he did commit to MU, yes, but he is probably not like a Diamond Stone or Kevin Looney rated recruit who would really enhance the team.  

I am with Ners on this one, but if Nunn goes to Illinois, so be it.  Stone and Looney are the key recruits for the future.  

BTW, Rivals reporting Nunn in fact did commit to Illinois today.

Better to know now. He had enough contact with Buzz to know what our program was about. If he didn't want it then it's better off for all of us. Would have been nice if he was in on it, but he found what he was after with PR right away.

It's EC Matthews...and the visit was an unofficial and never finalized.  I hope we get him in an official soon.  Darin Johnson will be visiting this upcoming week.

Just curious, what are the rules for students and alumni tweeting a recruit?

macman320

Also curious, Wilson and Burton are ranked ahead of him. I know ESPN isn't always great, but we have some solid talent coming in. Can Burton play the 2?

MattyWarrior

Illinois did a great job selling Nunn, gotta give them credit, never heard of students being so involved before. I think some of the turmoil in our staff this offseason had an effect on recruiting, so I sure am glad Buzz got the MKE3 early on. I'm still hoping for one quality big or a big shooting guard.

Other schools may not be in as solid of a conference as MU.

Makes you wonder a bit. After all, we know coaches are ethical and would never badmouth the changes in the BE.

Let him go.

He must like underachieving; Illinois's a perfect place for that.

We all had a feeling that he probably wasn't going to pick MU since we were always there, had a scholly to offer, but he didn't bite.

If the girl don't wanna be with you, move on.

Technically, all the students and alumni tweeting Nunn is illegal.  The problem is action by the NCAA has been inconsistent or absent.

I believe that MU puts out an email or something each year saying to avoid contacting recruits by social media.  In this case obviously Illinois doesn't or the people don't listen.

Either way hard to enforce, but for schools that do refrain it provides a small disadvantage.

Tugg Speedman

As it stands now, Nunn would have been our fifth guard off the bench his freshman year...

Senior Vander Blue
Junior Todd Mayo
Freshman Deonte Burton (ranked higher)
Freshman Duane Wilson (ranked higher)

He might have even been number six if Derrick Wilson develops more.

.... he could start from day one at Illinois.
