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.


Since Buzz plays a three guard offense, he certainly could have received playing time.  Look, Buzz is obviously looking at guards.  He feels we need one.  Why do we have to crap on them when they dont choose MU?

+1, that @themublueman guy on twitter looks like a 9 year old posting this garbage.

Lmao at @KNunnSG right now...have fun in the NIT the next 4 years followed by a brief stint in the Europe league. You could of made the NBA.

I hate fans that make our entire fanbase look weak.

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?

Nunn is excellent, but I'd put Burton very near him (and Burton is under-recognized by the 'public scouting services', IMO).  I'd call Deonte a mean switchable, but would see him at a '3' more often than anything, but 2 and 4 are doable as well. 

Would have loved Nunn, but now I'd like to either add a wing type that can shoot like a traditional or Kyle Washington, who is also under-appreciated by the ratings and could excel at Marquette.

Congrats to U of I. Would have been a nice way to round out the class, but if we can get a top 150 PF or C I will be perfectly happy to have missed here.

What am I going to do with this tattoo now? Any ideas on how to cover up a big "Kendrick Wade Nunn"?

Who were the last MU recruits from Meanstreets?  Jerel and Mo, and Buckley recruited both--for MU and Ball State.

I'm not saying he would not have played or I did not want him.  He would have been a great signing.  

What I am saying is Nunn would have been another in a long-line of successful guards at MU, but first he would have to wait his turn,  At UI they are hoping he will be a program changer.

It shows the relative difference between the programs.

Great post!  You've inspired me - I'm going out right now and getting a tattoo!.
All this talk of rights.  So little talk of responsibilities.

From all accounts Nunn is a very good player, and I would have liked to see him in an MU uniform - however, I got the impression over the last year that he is a pretty big prima donna/attention whore - and I'm not sure that fits well with the types of guys Buzz likes to coach....or can coach to the best of his/their ability.

I think making disrespectful comments about recruits & the teams they chose over MU is a great idea.  Good work, guys.

Nunn is an excellent basketball player.  Illinois got a good one.  That's it.

I wish we could keep the disrespectful comments and cheap shots aimed where they belong - our fellow Scoopers!  (and I4, CBB, LW, FP, etc.)

REJOICE! Eric Dixon has been suspended!!

Illinois recruiting peep Chip Sylvie:

"I really like the Illini pickup of Nunn.  I think he's definitely a top 50 type even if his game has been sliding.I think he's a good pickup.  On the flip side, there would be a number of Illinois guys (I can think of 3) who think Nunn has been dreadful as of late."

Time to move on gentleman.

Yeah, he wouldn't fit in well.  That is why Buzz recruited him so hard after he decommitted from A&M.

Seriously people...

MattyWarrior

It was a long recruitment, hope no buyers remorse, he got a lot of sunshine cast on him cause of who he played with. Now he has to work hard. 6'1 165 in the big. Good Luck and lets move on.

Sure. Buzz probably cooled on him.

I suspect you probably wouldn't be referring to the kid as a "whore" had he chosen MU. Get a grip and stop acting like a Badger fan.

I See KAMERON WILIAMS is AVAILABLE ------- Would rather have him. Very impressive video.

6-2 or 3 170.

What part of "I would have liked to see him in an MU uniform" did you not get??  It is entirely possible to want a talented player that is or may have prima donna tendencies.  Doesn't mean you don't recruit him, desire him, or want him on your team.  Yet at the end of the day, it might be best if you don't get the player.

Get a grip and try* to make an effort to understand the point - and stop using teal for obviously sarcastic statements - it really is lame.

Maybe 7th depending on how good Jamal Ferguson turns out to be.

Sure, sure. I'm sure Buzz will look back some day soon and say "Ners was right, it's best we didn't get that talented kid out of Chicago. I better email him about it."

And I'll pass on taking lessons from what is and isn't lame from a grown man who refers to a high school kid as an "attention whore" because he chose a different school.

Maybe if you followed the recruitment of the kid, and observed how ridiculous his Twitter activity has been seeking and soliciting fans of the schools he was considering over the past year to tweet at him and shower him with love to help close the deal...perhaps you'd come to a different conclusion.

Grow up. The kid is 17 years old, not everyone that age knows how to handle the pressure of being a top recruit. Calling him an "attention whore" reflects poorly on all of us.

I think it's safe to say that had Nunn chosen Marquette, you wouldn't have questioned his Twitter activity or made disparaging remarks about him. Pretty sure you never raised it as an issue until he committed to Illinois.
It's sour grapes, and that's all it is. No better than the stuff we've seen out of Madison about Vander Blue and Wes Matthews.
