Ahmed Hill Commits to Marquette

[augoman]

superb get  love the final 3 choices.  Welcome Mr. Hill..., tell your friends.

Wonder if Shayok and Miller both commit that means Harris has been cut loose.

I wouldn't say that.  There were rumors that they would oversign before the Harris suspension was announced.

They can all sign letters of intent in about a month, so may as well just wait until then to worry about it.

Welcome to MU

Chicos - Curious -  I recall you suggesting IU didn't want Hill based on the commit from Robert Johnson, yet they continued to try to get Hill on campus for a visit after the Johnson commit - is that the reason for your luke warm welcome here?  Most of us are ecstatic about the Hill commit!

How does it sit with you when MU lands a player IU coveted?  In other words which team/coach do you want to see succeed more?

Why start this?

In before the lock!

Just curious...I find it interesting to delve into the abyss of what a mindf*ck it must be to be a die hard fan of both MU and IU.  And since this is the MU fan site, I am genuinely interested to hear from Chicos how he reconciles saying IU basically "cooled' on Hill after getting the Johnson commit, yet after Johnson committed - IU was still trying hard to get Hill on campus for a visit.  Does it actually gnaw at the Bondsmen that Buzz wins a recruiting battle against TC?  I mean why try to suggest IU didn't want Hill after getting the Johnson commit - when that absolutely wasn't the case??

Why don't you ask him in a PM?  You get the answer to your question and we don't have another thread hijacked.

Buzz visited him in Georgia nine times?  Sounds like Buzz really, really wanted Hill at MU.  And glad he liked what he saw after waiting to see what we had to offer.

I predict by page 5 we will all be privy to a heated debate on whether carrots are best as a spring or fall crop.

That's why cutting bait when players like Looney don't show interest is so important.  Time is a limited resource.

That's why having the university committed to spending what is necessary, such as charter aircraft, is so important.

Bingo. That is huge....also helps that Buzz is a tireless worker.

What's the budget for midnight Limo rentals these days?

We talking about the Marquette student safety LIMOs or real limos here

With guards Noskowiak, Flory, Cohen and Hill orally committing and the talented freshman guards already here, coach Buzz can pick and choose future guards the next year or two and concentrate on recruiting forwards and centers. Let the good times roll.

Cohen, Hill and Flory might all be playing some small forward in the future.  That is a position that will be open with only Deonte Burton at that spot or possibly JJJ.  The guard position
will be stocked for a long time now is correct.  Not sure the need for oversigning, but I doubt they sign Harris until the spring, so if Shayok commits or Miller then Harris maybe out anyway.
Should as usual be interesting.  I would hope the freshman class stays together, if that happens, I see no transfers going forward, only have one soph in Steve Taylor and I see him getting
solid minutes this year and big minutes next year.  Any word how Miller liked his visit?

Fall.  To think otherwise is sheer madness...

We have four scholarships available with three commits. The next commitment does not create an oversigning position. I also believe the current plans are that Mayo will not be back, which is one of the reasons we needed Hill and still want Shayok. The fifth commitment gets Mayo's scholarship and the 6th commitment is bad news for Harris.

After Mayo's suspension last year, we hard that he wasn't coming back (cause he was playing pro ball in South Africa or some such nonsense).
Then after he came back, we heard he wasn't coming back this year.
Now that he's back this year, the plan is he won't be back next year?

If he has a Vander like year he may not be back.  He is older than most of the kids on the team, so there could be some truth to that.  This can be discussed after he
plays 35 games and has an outstanding year.  Time will tell.

Let's just hope ABA doesn't come calling mid-season, and if it does, his fridge is full.
