Satchel to MU!!!

[The Process]

Another gem from Mike Hunt

http://m.jsonline.com/more/sports/232137111.htm

The schools he mentioned weren't even close. How does this guy have a job? What a lazy turd. Ten minutes on Twitter and he would have had more accurate info.

Anyone know who's got "editorial" responsibilities over at the Urinal Sentinel these days?  It's clear that they're not doing their job if they're letting such crap get published.  Then again, they're probably too busy helping Aaron Rodgers put on a sweater or tie his shoes to care what Mike Hunt spews out.

Who cares? WHat do you want him to write? How about this, "On a day in which Duke lands Jahlil Okafor and Kansas gets Cliff Alexander, Marquette received a verbal commitment from Satchel Pierce, a 6-10 center who may or may not contribute by the time he is a junior.

I expect him to write factually.

i just did that for you. Happy?

You did, yes.  Hunt, however, did not.

And yes, I'm pretty happy.  Thank you for asking!

Although... first he's reported as 7'.  Then he's 6'11.  Now you're saying 6'10.  Are you sure you're factually correct in saying 6'10?

SO. CONFUSING.

You're welcome.

It seems like forever since we had a true center come to MU. So even though we get highly ranked players every year this feels especially gratifying. As for M.Hunt and the Journal Times I think he is a big UW fan and his article the way it was written is his way of minimizing the value of Pierce. Its hard to understand why he is allowed to continue to write for the MU blog.

[The Process]

You're welcome.

Thanks.  I'm glad you've added to Pierce's height controversy with your edgy reporting of him only being 6'10, not the 6'11 or 7' as previously reported.

OH THE CONTROVERSY.  Some could call it a...

Welcome to the MU family Satchel.

[MU82]

I'm glad we landed the 6'2" Satchel Pierce.

Still to come ...

He's actually only 5'-11"!!!

He's like the Benjamin Button of basketball players. Two more weeks and he'll be back in his mom's womb.

Was this with or without shoes?  We all know that Marquette players have a way of shrinking considerably without shoes as they play on stilts.

woohoo!

Man, that is a sick signature.

[wadesworld]

Nice!  Glad my instinct was wrong on this one.

Welcome Satchel! I know you're going to be great here!

Not keen on his name....wish he had a nickname to use. That does not sound like a sports name at all...seems like someone from the early 1900's.

I don't mean to be heartless or mean spirited, in fact I am attempting to show some humor with this post, but I will cringe every time I hear his name called. Satchel? Come on now...He better be good...

On a team that has had names of what seems like 8 J's Jamail, Jameel Jamil, etc Duane, JuJuan, Juan, John, 3 Wilson's a guy named Sandy and Satchel lol, lord have mercy. They better be able to hoop...

I think Buzz was recruiting them to add some variety to our names.  Our coaches haven't even seen those two play.

With all due respect you really do need to get better photos of the new recruits. The ones you have now look like police artist sketches.

All right, all right, all right! (sorry, don't have the gif handy)

Who's got the Wooderson pic?  Isn't that Stone Cold's job?

It is, but I suspect Stone Cold is off investigating Satchel's rumored descent into little person size.

Good thing Marquette didn't land Emmanuel Mudiay or Noah Vonleh in recent years, you'd have been pissed! Better tell Buzz not to put any effort into Elijah Thomas next year either.

And you don't come across as heartless or mean-spirited. I'd consider this complaint to be more...lame.

Whoa!!! Whoa!!  Big Man Alert!!  Big Man Alert!!!    intimidating ballside and snatch-ing rebounds!!
Yeah Baby!!



Alright, Alright! Alright!

[Litehouse]

Thank you!  Recruit commitment threads are never complete until we get the Wooderson stamp of approval!

[LloydMooresLegs]

I'll make a new one with the 2014 guys instead

Outstanding job on the signature, but PLEASE change your avatar!  #wontsleep2nite

Big.    Good hands.   Building blocks. 

That's an exciting video. He looks active around the rim, good hands, and looks to be comfortable in his body already. Tough to tell based on highlights, since we can't see his weaknesses, but based on the video there is a lot of potential. Very excited about this pickup.

Welcome to MU Satchel!!!

[MuMark]

He is awfully big for a switchable?

WWWS:  What would willie say?
