Who is Satchel Pierce?

[Skatastrophy]

 Any idea when Satchel is planning on making a decision? How many officials does he have left?

[Markusquette]

Seems like he will just visit Marquette after Miami and I'm guessing he will decide not too long after.  Nothing set in stone for dates though.

Any idea when Satchel is planning on making a decision? How many officials does he have left?

He's on an official visit to Miami this weekend. A visit to Milwaukee may happen next weekend, so there's a slight timeline.

Buzz knocks his socks off and he commits on November 3rd or 4th.

 When does the signing period end? Or are we just hoping for a verbal?

I believe the signing period starts and ends sometime in November but I could be wrong. I believe I read somewhere that Pierce wants to sign in the early signing period so I'm assuming he'll make a decision soon after the visits.

Joe Nethen was a big man from Pittsburg.   

Who???  Please.

Maurice Lucas and Ulice Payne were Dapper Dan All-Stars but the last big man we recruited out of western PA was Lloyd Moore...

Marc Marotta and Mike McGonigle were from western PA.

Hank had a PA thing.

Was Marotta a top 100 player?  I say yes.  I think that BamaMarquette is not sure that that is right.

Neither Marotta nor Lazeretti were blue chips.

Marc is a perfect example of how one utilities a MU education.  Harvard Law followed by a very successful career in both politics and law. On top of everything, he's a good guy.

You mean Satchel Paige don't you....? Well, he was a ....lol

6'8 C-F recruited by Dukiet.   From Pittsburgh.   Check the scoop wiki.   Fits the criteria.  I'm not claiming he was a dominant big.   But he did play center at MU.

Satchel made it out of Miami without a commit (left this morning) and plans to take one more visit. He'll be at Marquette next weekend. After that, I expect a quick decision, as he's stated he wants to sign in the early period.

Was that meant as a Jeopardy style response to my post right before yours?

My best friend, who is a PITT fanatic, said he would announce this Weds.  So, who knows.

That makes no sense whatsoever.  Have some fun with your friend when it doesn't come to pass.

Wouldn't be the first time someone committed to Marquette without taking a visit 

[bilsu]

My gut feeling (which means nothing) is that he either picks Miami for weather or Marquette for playing time. Pitt is going to be a bottom feeder in the ACC and the only real advantage they have is that they are the closest to his home.

What is your unnatural carnal knowledge*n problem?  Someone asked, I just said what A PITT fan said he had heard. What a douche....

I think he just meant that if it isn't true, give your friend- presumably a Pitt fan-  a hard time. (But my first reaction was the same as yours - had to read it twice)

[NYeagle]

I agree. I think he meant "bust your friend's chops" when your friend is wrong.

OK, I might see it now.

Murs, when you get this far down, if that was the case, my bad.  I don't go off often.

Back on track, my friend heard it on the PITT board and stated he moved commitment date to Weds. and the feeling is a Miami lean now after his visit.  Speculation only.
