Paul White (PF) removes Marquette from his list

[moomoo]

Just one big for Christmas. That's all we need.

[BCHoopster]

That shipped sail the day Malek Harris committed, I was never sold on him, very skinny like McKay, need some beef.

[MuMark]

He is not a "big" if you view a big as being a replacement for Gardner/Otule and MU stopped recruiting him a long time ago


If you are going to bitch at least be accurate

[BCHoopster]

He has 2 bigs coming to visit in the next few months, probably will get one, hold one for spring as you never know what will happen.  The team he has this year might be his best
and deepest team so far, some big might want to come in and start. MU makes a deep run in the tournament, kids will see that.  If not, a Juco big might be out there.

Easy, Marco. Chill on the tough talk.

Chances are he will add at least 10 pound by his freshman year of college, so I would then consider him a big. And I wasn't "bitching", just stating that he officially took us off his list, and I would like one big in the 2014.

I had no idea we gave up recruiting a 4 star from Chicago. Thanks for the info.

Thanks hoopster. Do you know which bigs are coming to visit?

Paul White's game will not be a 'big' player. He's got some long range game and shys away from being physical under the basket, and is slow laterally.

There's really no need for him after Harris committed.

[MuMark]

Ben Lammers and Tory Miller....

Thanks hoopster. Do you know which bigs are coming to visit?

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not, but we stopped following White awhile ago.

Was not being sarcastic. I really didn't know and was thankful for the info.

[moomoo]

Ben Lammers and Tory Miller....

Marco, Ben Lammers is one inch taller and five pounds heavier than Paul White. I assume their games are completely different, with Ben being more defensive minded, hence being a true "big"?

[MuMark]

That is correct....Lammers a low post center who can block shots....White is a small forward type

Hmmmmm....Typical. After the guy writes us off, we start dissing him and offer up that we really do not need him, etc.

willie, you can believe it or not....MU stopped following White awhile ago for many of the reasons that PTM said.  They were much more interested in Harris.

Yeah, we probably realized that we needed to pursue some more Guards.

[Dawson Rental]

No, Buzz filled the spot on the roster now taken by Jamil Wilson with a 6'7" 200 lb. combo forward named Malik Harris, instead of another HS forward named Paul White.

[MattyWarrior]

I'd much rather have Malek Harris, he really wants to be here and is a MU type of player,All in!

[MuMark]

Man you are an idiot.....

Nobody ever said we didn't want Myles Turner, or Goodluck...or Kevon Looney....

White is a simlar player to Harris and the staff liked Harris better for a number of reasons.....why are you so pissed off about it?

He wasn't the answer as a big anyway which is all you care about....

Sometimes a player passes on a school and sometimes a school passses on a player....is that news to anyone?

Cmon....you should know by now that good coaches only look at height, weight and recruiting rankings, and never bother actually looking at the players.

But seriously, I have no idea why willie is upset about this. 

[Galway Eagle]

What is with all the insults being tossed around? We're all pulling for the same team (well outside of the Gtown and creighton guys who post on here) no need to alienate anybody with throwing insult around.

This sums up well why Marquette pursued Harris over White. Just because the recruiting rankings like White better doesn't mean Buzz and the staff agree with those outlets. By the same token, the staff is higher on the guys they are currently after than some others that are more highly rated. Star ratings are only a guideline from guys that are not professional coaches.

If people like willie want to put their faith in guys like Dave Telep, Evan Daniels, and Alex Kline, so be it. I have more trust in guys like Buzz Williams, Brad Autry, and Isaac Chew.

Great news, MU is now considered the leader for a 6'9" 230 lb. big man from Serbia.  He should be in for a visit in late September.  His name is Ivan Renko.

I thought he already committed to IU.

[mileskishnish72]

Nah, Renko's like White - he wants to be a 3.

That ship sailed he committed to Indiana 20 years ago.
