"The first half hour of the 71st day of a head coach's tenure"


Please no Buzzism's....

[swoopem]

Hank Raymond's lost a couple to ND...Donald Royal for one...And Buzz lost Zach Auguste to ND.  Others as well over the years.

I ran into Zach Auguste at a ND football tailgate last year and I was wearing my MU sweatshirt so we started talking. I asked him about Marquette and he said he really liked the school and players that we had at the time but when it came to Brent he said "that motha fukca's crazy". He basically said he didn't like how intense he was.

Smart dude, that Auguste, aina?

Well, there you have it. LMU is pounding the international pavement and unearthing gems like these two bruisers. These guys have game stamped all over their dog eared passports. Meanwhile, our coach sits at home watching Gilligan's Island reruns, satisfied with his short roster.

having lived on Tobacco Road I can safely say that the show of choice is Mayberry RFD not Gilligan's Island

Lets not let this thread digress to a Ginger versus Mary Ann versus Mrs. Howell again.  Although  I agree, it seems like international is at least worth exploring.

I am all over this idea.  And I say once again that at one point in time, Lovey was a 5 star!

Lovey as Ingénue

[mu03eng]

Of course it is!

and by the way....Ginger all the way!~  :0....

Slight OT of the OT....but gingers are nature's wildcard....handle with care.

Gabe Levin is quite the promoter. He has now said Northwestern exceed expectations. It is interesting that he was not a highly recruited prospect. He had offers from mid majors  like Hofstra James Madison etc. Clearly he exceeded expectations as a player. Seems like he is having some fun with all of this.

In all fairness his expectations might not have been very high considering it's Northwestern Basketball

Gabe Levin now saying he will not visit Georgia Tech. It is between Marquette,NU and Notre Dame. He liked the family atmosphere and weight and conditioning at NU. Will be interesting to see what he says about ND. Our chances  to recruit this young man are now 33 percent.

[Texas Western]

Gabe Levin visiting ND this weekend. Decision is expected sometime this coming week.

Survived Northwestern without a commitment. Notre Dame will be a bigger test.

Actually, the chances are 0% or 100%.  This is not a random drawing.

Of course he complimented Northwestern and Marquette, and he will do the same when he talks about Notre Dame. It's the smart thing to do, and it's probably true, too. He probably is (and will be) impressed with things about each of the three.

If he leaves ND without committing there, I like our chances. Although, as a fellow member of the Tribe, if I could have gotten a free Northwestern education and gotten to live so close to Chicago, I might have chosen that over a Catholic school.

[GoldenWarrior11]

If Levin was a PG, the odds of us getting a commitment from him would be 100%

All three are fantastic universities.  He will get playing time and exposure at any of the schools.  However, Northwestern has never been to an NCAA tournament, and Notre Dame now has to compete with Syracuse, Duke, North Carolina, Louisville, Virginia and the rest of blue bloods of the ACC.  If the opportunity for winning/success is a major requirement, you'd think we would be the leader in that department.

I think your analysis is accurate and probably how he is looking at it.

[MuMark]

He left ND without committing......I doubt that means anything. He will now sit down with his family and decide where he wants to go.


I'm sure we will know this week

Did Wojo unleash the MU Honey Babes to escort him around campus to ensure he had a pleasant and informative visit?

[BCHoopster]

Do not get to excited he is not a game changing type player, I look at him like a Jim Dudley type player, some hops, some skill, some ability, that is it.

....I'll take a kid who has size and averaged 11.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks as a freshman for a solid mid major any day.

Good teams need a great player or two, but they also need solid role players who are capable of doing a lot of things well. Gabe will be a nice addition to the Warriors if he chooses MU.

He will fit that role.  He probably is better than Juan, so losing Juan add Gabe, lose Derrick add Nick, lose Todd need somebody and finally a big or two would help.  I have confidence in this
staff.  It might take a few years but it will happen, the staff or old college players are to good not to.  All had drive at college to be better, Travis and Brett Nelson are great additions.  I
think the staff can really relate to high school kids.  All young.

Actually, I see him as the opposite of Dudley.  Dudley was a fantastic athlete who was short in the skills department.  While Gabe has shown a strong skill set, but was under recruited due to a perceived lack of elite athleticism.

The game I watched on TV last week, showed that he could drive to the hoop, make free throws, and dunk much like Jim Dudley.  Did not show much of an outside shot.  Gabe needs to get
much stronger, and improve his shot, he is a wing type player.  MU needs a four much like Ellenson.  Fisher, Ellenson, Burton, JJJ and Duane.  Like to see  a 2 guard who can shoot in this
recruiting class.

Actually, the chances are 0% or 100%.  This is not a random drawing.

This statement is as meaningless as it is incorrect.  The statement "the chances are 0% or 100%" argues that probability theory doesn't exist which isn't true.  Yes, it's not a random drawing, but the results of a random drawing are often used as a probabilities substitute when factors that would vary the chances among three possible outcomes are not well enough known to be quantified.  Since there are three schools still involved, the probabilities must be allocated among the three possibilities.  This board appears to lack any information providing an accurate appraisal of Mr. Levin's reaction to the three schools involved in order to make such a variance, so yeah, we have a one in three chance.
