Noskowiak recruiting Ellenson

[keefe]

Wally and Henry are in town. Nick is as well, Romo popped in yesterday, and Wesley is around too.

Is Romo a True Friend of the Program?

Maybe Jabari can ring Ellenson up too, aina?

Big Wojo fan.

Jabari was out at Summerfest today, I believe the Ellenson's were headed that way.

Novak was here yesterday also.

Yes he was.

Big Wojo fan.

Yes he was.

I Love these types of rumors...seriously.

Wojo was actually at summerfest two days ago. My dad took a picture of him for me.

If true, this would fit a recent pattern.

After Buzz left, many thought at least a couple current players would follow him out the door. None did.

After Buzz left, we had no chance to keep any signed recruits. Kept Cohen.

After Buzz left, Noskowiak re-opened his recruiting (as I would have done, too) and the reading-between-lines folks thought that meant he was going bye-bye. He re-committed to Wojo.

Read-between-the-liners were looking at tweets by Levin and surmising he was either ND or NW bound. Wrong. Coming to MU.

And all those who thought we had no chance at Ellenson might very well be proved wrong.

Stone next?

[martyconlonontherun]

FYI I believe Jabari made some jokes about being excited to babysit for Wojo. Seems like the two were pretty close at Duke and it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibilities that Wojo will have Jabari around a lot for random visits.

[AZWarrior]

So if Ellenson does sign, do we assign recruiting credit to Noskowiak and D. Wilson?

And do we continue to cast doubt upon coach Wojo as a recruiter?

Just askin'.

I don't want to sound cocky or over-confident, but when Mark Miller predicts something, I trust him and his track record.

Such a huge part of this process isn't whether Wojo can recruit, or whether Buzz would have been able to get him, or what the advantages are of a Marquette vs. Wisconsin.  It's having players on the team that are willing to pitch the school to players.  Having someone in similar age, with similar background, give you the rundown of the environment and culture of a school/program, is pivotal - and not many schools have players with the confidence or communication skills that are required to do it.

Duane Wilson, by the time he graduates and leaves Marquette, may very well possibly leave a bigger legacy in terms of talking to high school players and recruiting them to Marquette than on the court - and I think he has a BIG future on the court for the Warriors.

Yes, his future is bright at MU, especially since the phony downhome lonesome numbskull was shown the door.

Hey no knock on Stone but if it came between the two, Ellenson may be a better fit for MU especially when you consider Stone staying for one season and Ellenson staying for 3 or 4. Either one committing would put the MU class in the top 20  for 2015. If we land them both then a top 5.

[Texas Western]

The Ellenson decision is going to come down to whether he wants to go away to college or stay near home, I think the same holds true for Diamond Stone. I put the going away probability at about 2/3 based on the quality of schools recruiting both of them. There is about a 1/3 probability they stay close to home. In that case I think it is 50/50 between MU and UW. So My unscientific view is that we have about a 16 percent weighted average chance to recruit either Ellenson of Stone. What Noskowiak and Duane or doing is helping make the case to stay local.

I think this is a case where Wojo makes his best recruiting pitch by coming out of the gates with the team playing well and uptempo. Both of these kids came come here and be impact players Day 1 which needs to be emphasized.

Day 1 of Year 2? Because freshmen don't play at Marquette...oh, wait

[Stretchdeltsig]

This is exciting news.  When will Ellanson make his commitment?

[THRILLHO]

I get what you were saying, but in this case it's all about Wojo's effort vs. Brent's lack thereof. MU wasn't recruiting him until Wojo got the job, and now they are in a great position.

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying here, but it almost seems like you think the only reason things changed is recruiting "effort." Presumably Buzz is interested in top 25 players but got some signal that Ellenson or his family didn't want to play for him and thought his time would be spent better elsewhere.

[ThatDude]

Ellenson fits better at Wisconsin but I'll take him

[VegasWarrior77]

I think you could say that if Buzz was still the coach.  He might be a perfect fit for Wojo's system.  Hopefully we'll get to see if he is...!

I suspect their decisions will be made by the time practice starts...?

+1. Henry will fit in here just like Kyle Singler at Duke.

[Dawson Rental]

Well, hopefully Wojo signs him and we can put to bed the questions regarding his recruiting skills. Still, I like to think that Ellenson signing is in no small measure due to the efforts of the men of Scoop. Once Ellenson commits we should then turn our full attention on Lovell to change the damned nickname.

That almost seems too puny a goal for the mighty posters of Scoop.

Of course, Buzz recruited him.  Buzz just lost out very early in the process.
