I don't know why everybody is so "Oh he's not rated high enough."  Didn't he go to a top 100 as a sophomore?

Like Todd two years ago, he'll already by 19 when he gets on whatever campus he attends and turn 20 during the season. The extra year should make him a bit more prepared for action than the typical freshman, which is good since we'll need a center.

I was struggling with why Buzz and staff seemed to cool on Lammers, but pursue the guy ranked just after him. Well I think this part of the article sums up why Satchel's an OKG (and of course, rankings alone don't drive recruiting):


 “Every time I'd teach him a move, within five minutes he'd get it. Then you'd see him that night, using it in a game,” Freedman said. “The kid's got a lot of work to do still — he's not a finished product — but he will be ready to play next year.”

The turning point, however, came when Pierce was invited to the NBA Players Association Top 100 camp this past June.

Pierce performed well, but was told he had commitment issues when it came to his conditioning.

Since then, Pierce has been awaking at 5:30 a.m. for three-a-day workouts. He lifts weights, does team conditioning and plays pick-up games after school.

“It made me realize the amount of work that I needed to put in if I wanted to get better and be the best I can be,” Pierce said. “I had to put more dedication to it.”

sounds like Pitt has the inside track on him. Sure would like to see him wearing MU blue and gold.

 “They develop their bigs really well"

There is the pitch vs. Marquette every day of the week. Otule and Gardner have developed nicely, some ammo for Buzz to combat that now. People can whine as much as they want that Buzz doesn't recruit bigs, but until they develop a couple of under the radar types (otule & gardner) they'll get hammered with this message. "Its a guard and wing team, they don't send bigs to the next level."

Satchel is at Pitt for an official this weekend.

His prep school is 45 minutes away from Pitt, so hopefully he understands what a craphole it is.

Seriously, Pittsburgh might be my least favorite top 50 population city in the country.

Really?  I love the city.  It has improved a ton over the last 30 years.  Fun vibe, scenic on the rivers, etc.

I have to agree with Chicos.  DT Pittsburgh is really scenic where the rivers meet and everything is very walkable including the half dozen bridges.  The rivers and bridges all have wide walk paths/trails on the sides of them.  Enjoyed walking over a bridge past the baseball stadium to the Andy Warhol Museum.  The incline (I want to call it fumacalore after the Italy ones I rode) to the cliff top is unique.

I went there with some friends for the Marquette game last season. I thought it was a great city. Good food and great night life. Only city that can really challenge Milwaukee's bar scene in my opinion

Both Milwaukee and Pittsburgh are very nice cities.  No need to disparage either one.

I agree, except for the sentimental value I have for Milwaukee.  Pittsburgh is an underated city in my opinion based on my travels around the country.

If starting as a freshman is important to Satchel, we got him.  

No, I'm not saying that that would be guaranteed, just that now the center position is wide open for fall 2014.  

No, I'm not saying that Steve Taylor can't play center just that he'd be more effective at the 4, if MU had a legit center to put out there with him.

If he wants to develop by practicing against other similar sized guys on the other hand....

I wonder where Embiid was rated this time last year?

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Embiid was just blowing up at this time. ESPN still had him outside the top-100, but Telep had identified him as a top-20 recruit just under a year ago.

http://m.espn.go.com/ncb/story?storyId=8627432&src=desktop

One difference, though. Embiid was far more an unknown, having spent most of his life overseas. While there are late bloomers, most guys that shoot up into those top rankings do so during their last AAU summer. I have high hopes for Pierce if we can get him in, but while a strong HS campaign could boost him into the top-100, I'd be shocked if anyone had him in the top-50 or higher.

Satchel Pierce is the #1 priority for Buzz and staff #mubb MT @coreyevans_10 No one has put more time in the past month on Pierce than (MU - See more at: http://verbalcommits.com/players/satchel-pierce#sthash.WaHdWBtO.dpuf

Like seeing things like this. I know Ahmed Hill appreciated this kind of attention. Hopefully Pierce feels the same way

Great news.  I think he would be a great fit at MU and get ample playing time from the start.  Good size, smart player and quick learner.  Imagine pierce and Stone together :)
