Noskowiak

[Blackhat]

Just assume all the 2014 recruits are gone.

They were sold on Buzz not MU...that's 21st century recruiting.  

Besides, only recruit worth tying up and the publicity fallout is Hill.

Except if it's Howland he doesn't have any recruits of his own to bring, so keeping our current recruits is important.

Exactly.

Hopefully, Howland's record both on the court and in landing players in the NBA, gives Marquette the best chance of retaining current recruits.

Keeping all/most of the recruiting class would be a nice bonus, but the program won't collapse if it doesn't happen.
The focus is finding the right coach for the next 8-10 years. In the grand scheme, one recruiting class isn't that important.
Worst case scenario, the next coach will have a lot of scholies and PT to offer to the Class of 2015.

We don't know that, he's only been put of the loop one year.

How do you recruit when you don't have a school to recruit to?

[Eldon]

Well, maybe if BW had spoken about basketball instead of yet another "there I was" trailer park story Shabazz might have actually considered Marquette

LOL

"So Coach Williams, my AAU team runs a three-quarters press and I think it can be effective.  I noticed that your teams, when in the half-cou--"

"So there I was.  Just me and my will.  My back was against the wall.--"

"When you played?"

"Shabazz, I am always playing.  In life, we never check out.  You can't sit at the scorer's table waiting for the right moment.  Do you think you can strive toward effort and build strong relationships by checking out of the game?!?!?"

[approximately 90 seconds of silence as Buzz makes strange gestures and puts his head down]

[shakes head and looks up slowly] "You know, I have four assistants now, but lemme tell you. When I was dusting the corners of the ceiling in ol granpaw's house, he asked me what I was doing.  He said, Brint, why you cleanin them dag-on parts?  I told him that life struggles are meant to bring about challenges that only faith and determination can assure prevailance against the odds.  You see what I'm sayin?  I was reachin for them corners and granpaw was reachin, too--he was reachin out to me.  He was teaching me a life lesson.  He was teachin me, or rather life...life was showing me that I couldn't quit.  Folks in the media always say quitters never win and winners never quit.  Well granpaw showed me that, in life, losing is better than bein a quitter so long as I was reachin for the top.  You see?  Just as I was reachin for them corners."

"Dang, Coach.  That's deep."

[Earl Tatum]

Fred Hoiberg has been sticking his nose into Wisconsin recruits.  SANDY COHEN--IOWA STATE OR VIRGINIA

Henry Ellenson could follow to Iowa State. He isn't to keen on Wisco.

I can confidently say that you win Scoop for 2014

All coaches, both employed and unemployed have players to bring.  These guys are always recruiting, always calling their bird-dogs, always scheming.  Trust me, Howland probably has a plan for 5 different jobs right now.

[Earl Tatum]

Another player to take a serious look at is JORDAN PEREZ of Greendale, Wis. Very Talented.

The new coach should take a look at former Iowa St assistant TJ Otzelberger.

[mviale]

Buzz knew point guards really well...

How serious do recruits take a coach who is not part of any team?

Dude is a two star recruit.   No offense but two stars aint going to cut it.

[77ncaachamps]

His tweet said just that...

Makes sense that he removed Marquette from his Twitter handle.

Totally agree. He's at Washington under Lorenzo Romar. This would be a great move IMO. He's a Wisconsin guy who did all of the heavy lifting for Hoiberg and is the reason ISU became a landing place for WI kids. I know everybody likes Howland, but how about a Virginia loss tonight and we throw buckets of dough at Tony Bennett and have Otzelberger as associate head coach. Dude can recruit. And in keeping with this subject line, Otzelberger has loved Noskowiak since 8th grade and graded him as a better prospect than Koenig (who is going to be a great college player IMO). Noskowiak is the real deal.

Clearly some teams advancing in the tournament prove that star rankings don't mean sh1t.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  Literally.

[Texas Western]

Happy to see Noskowiak walk. Was not sold on his abilities, another big fish in small pond. He is doing us a favor , thanks Nick.

Whoa.  I'm no recruiting guy by any means, but isn't he ranked like 50th overall or something? 

He is sitting tight anyway.  Per Hunt

The assistant coaches who were left behind have told all four to sit tight until the new coach arrives.

Anybody have any clue which of the four have been "left behind?"

I'm pretty sure Autry is still here, although he's been with Buzz for a while so who knows if he'll leave. I think Wainwright is still around too. No idea about the others.
