Iman will be a WARRIOR!!!!

Role player at UNC, or follow Wade and be the man at MU?  It's gotta be MU!

Not sure how GT fits into all this because they have been pretty much ignored (of the 3 finalists) until now. It's going to be a big letdown if we don't get him. Regardless of how he ultimately pans out, the perception of being big-time with a recruit rated that highly would definitely have a positive impact on recruiting. Add that to what should be a top 15 team all year and it could be a big boost for the program that pays dividends for years to come.

GT:  ACC, Atlanta, playing time, great school, location. 

Atlanta would be a reason NOT to go to GT.  IMO, Atlanta has to be the WORST city in the country and my wife is from there!

I still think he's coming to MU, but for a kid from Chicago the pull of DWade toward Marquette can not be compared to the pull of MJ to North Carolina. His enormous presence makes North Carolina the peak of Mount Everest  for recruits.

Marquette, for sure.

PRN, I don't disagree with the MJ pull....BUT a lot of these kids we're now recruiting were pretty young when MJ was in his prime. Everyone knows what Michael did on the basketball court, but 17 year olds were 7 the last time Michael was truly Michael (1997 - the last Bulls championship). It's a lot like what a Michigan State/UNC recruiting battle would have looked like in the mid 90's. MSU has Magic but he was at the end of his career, while MJ was at the peak. Please don't interpret this as any disrespect to MJ...he's the best player to ever play the game.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

I know exactly what you mean, but Magic Johnson never embraced Michigan State the way Jordan has North Carolina. With DVDs, ESPN Classic, etc., it's a different time. I still think Jordan is the most popular basketball play around.

Wade is Iman's favorite player, so I have to think he may have a little more influence than MJ given Iman's age. Having Wade at MM had to be a clear message to Shumpert he'll get to know Wade down the road if he comes to MU. It also was a good reminder that MU can be a good vehicle to the upper echelon of the NBA. I don't think we would've had that credibility without DWade.

Is it 5:30 yet????

I'll be away with family all night, visiting from out of town.  Can somebody text me when word comes down?

Might be a little too wound up to learn new technology, but I'll give it a try...
