Top 100 recruit visits today
               



DaJuan Johnson, a 6-foot-4 guard from Southwind High School in Memphis, Tenn., will make an official visit to Marquette today.

DaJuan Johnson, eh?     I was hopeful JaJuan Johnson would be visiting, not his evil twin from a parallel universe.

[GGGG]

Christ...  It's Jajuan Johnson.  Damn paper can't even get the guy's name right.

[brewcity77]

And here we thought Enlund was just mailing it in.

MU's new beat writer, Rusty Kuntz, is all over this story.

If the Golden Eagles sign Johnson during the early signing period next month, they will be one over the scholarship limit and would have to make adjustments next season.

Mr. Hunt laying the groundwork early.

[GGGG]

Not to mention that he is wrong.  Otule isn't official.

Mr. Hunt laying the groundwork early.

And considering Otule's sixth year is not granted until after the season that is technically a false statement at this time.

He seems a little short for our needs in the pictures, but he was in 24 with Jack Bauer so he must be a badass.

So they're taking their official visit today but staying for tomorrow right? Also why wouldn't John Dawson be on campus this weekend if I recall after he commited I thought I read that he hasn't been on campus yet so it seems that this would be the perfect weekend for him to get to know his future place of residence and teammates.

[MUfan12]

Wonder if he'll sit by DaBari Parker?

Official visits are 48 hours in length.  He comes today...leaves on Saturday.

Paint Touches is tweeting that he is close to pulling the trigger to commit.  Wow!

This would be *enormous* as he is ranked #32 by Scout...versus #54 for Nunn and #73 for EC Matthews.  He would be the highest ranked member of an already stellar class.

[GoldenZebra]

If he commits...no Joel Embiid right?

[MUCrew]

If he commits...no Joel Embiid right?

Yes I want to know this also. 

[LAZER]

Yes I want to know this also. 

I'd imagine Buzz would make room for them.

[MUfan12]

Yes I want to know this also. 

As much as people would freak out going +2 on scholarships, I'm confident there will be room next season. And no one will be forced out.

[Litehouse]

If Johnson signs, then we are officially full for next year.  If Johnson and Embiid both sign, then we're officially oversigned by 1 for next year.  We could do it, but then someone gets voted off the island next year.  There are already multiple threads that speculate on what that could mean, but it basically involves someone leaving early, someone paying their own way, a transfer out, or a recruit not coming.

If Otule is granted a 6th year it would complicate things even more.

[esotericmindguy]

I love how people are now  questioning the possibility of otule not being granted the 6th year. We'd be over signed by 2 of they both came.

Well, I don't know Chris personally, but there is a possibility that he wouldn't want to come back for a 6th year.

A lot can happen this season.

[Dawson Rental]

I had no idea that Hunt was from Chicago.  He really meant to say Da JaJuan Johnson.

[GGGG]

There are numerous possibilities, and I am sure there will be room. 

[Pakuni]

You know, a lot of people go to college for seven years.

[Hards Alumni]

Yeah, they're called doctors.

The NCAA granted it for Scott Martin at ND, but denied it for Tim Abromaitis, so who knows?

Mbakwe also got the 6th year, but Mbakwe and Martin were both transfers so that may have played into it.  If Otule is back for a 6th year, having both Johnson and Embiid would put us 2 over.  We haven't filled our full scholarship allotment the past 2 years, so who know what will happen.
