Recruiting

MU didn't miss on Nolan...they passed.



If we define "bigs" as 4/5 then Paul White doesn't qualify(I believe Mu's interest in him was over the minute Harris verbaled and quite possibly before.)

good stuff brewcity. Buzz is doing all he can to land a couple bigs. The fact is he is a great recruiter and he wins a lot of games.

We passed on quite a few other names on my lists as well, but I didn't really differentiate. White and Harris both project as 3/4 types at the collegiate level, will depend on how they grow and how the staffs want to use them. Pretty sure we had decided to take a pass on White well before Harris' commit.

A nit pick.  Figuring out that his chances of landing a player have dropped to the point that Buzz decides to concentrate his resources elsewhere isn't how I'd describe "passed on".  Did Buzz "pass on" Kevon Looney?

Wasn't referring to Looney. Buzz didn't pass on Looney, he stopped pursuing when it became evident he was headed out of state. But just as players move on because they aren't interested in Marquette, Marquette moves on because they aren't interested in a player, whether because of attitude, grades, or simply that they aren't good enough.
