Shalom bro. Welcome to the mishpuha

Mazel Tov!

Excellent. Great 2nd get for Wojo. He's doing well on the transfer market, now to bring in some freshmen

[MU82]

Very nice. He's bound to be my second favorite Jew in MU history after ... well ... after me. (What's nice there is that he doesn't have a tough act to follow!)

I'm WAY too lazy to look crap up from old Scoop streams, but I distinctly remember some tea-leaf-reading yahoos who were convinced that Levin would be transferring just about anywhere but Marquette.

Moral of the story: Unless the tweet says exactly what the athlete is planning, don't read too much into the 140-character musings of a kid!

[4everwarriors]

Not that it matters, but folks are assuming as to his religious affiliation. Dude, in fact, went to a catholic prep school, LMU, and now MU. Just sayin'

I'm sure this was mentioned in another thread, but is he eligible to play this year?

No, will sit out next year and have 3 years of eligibility remaining

[GOO]

By practicing this year, hopefully he can step in next year and contribute right away and give our freshman bigs some time to develop.  I expect we'll have two freshman bigs added, but Levin gives us a guy that should be ready to contribute from day one next year.

Question:  Is he eligible to practice as of day one of the fall semester, or, can he do so this summer if he enrolls in summer school?

I understand that the very existence of Scoop was a deciding factor in Gabe Levin's decision to bring his talents to Marquette. Hopefully one of the moderators is out back polishing up the chrome on Mr. Levin's brand new Scoop Membership. Years of posting pleasure await this young man.

Forgive me but I am getting all verklempt...

Sorry, guys.  Who is Gabe Levin?

And I grew up in a predominantly Catholic town, went to a Jesuit university and married a Catholic girl.

Nice, TAMU. I knew I could count on you.

I'm loving the fact that somebody Notre Dame wanted picked us instead, not to mention that Wojo was able to outrecruit his Dukie buddy in their first head-to-head recruiting battle.

Then again, maybe Brey and Collins just cooled on him.

[Galway Eagle]

Literally overjoyed.  Now I want him to be a crazy star and have a great career so I can rub it into Shumpert that that shoulda been him

[MUfan12]

Won a recruiting battle against two elite universities, that happen to be in the B1G and ACC.

Nice get for MU and the Big East.

He was digging the "Women of the Israeli Defense Force" photo montages and that sold him.

[jakeec]

Yea, looks like a solid pickup for Marquette.

[jsglow]

Fantastic.  Welcome Gabe.

[GooooMarquette]

Welcome to Marquette, Gabe!

[Markusquette]

Great get.  Excited to see if Wojo can land a couple more bigs to go along with Gabe.

I am assuming he enrolls for the 2nd summer session along with Cohen and Carlino. They will all be able to practice.

Right. Just like Levin's mom might not be Jewish. Gabe is short for Gabriel, one of the archangels. Just sayin'.
