Yates n Robertin

[River rat]

Anyone know what came of these guys.  Are we still interested?  Did they sign elsewhere?

Robertin is at a JUCO somewhere.  No idea about Yates but I would assume the same.

Yates was an offer by the last regime. I don't think Wojo has even so much as talked to him. He is still uncommitted. His only offers are Minnesota, Georgia Tech, Illinois State, and UL Monroe. Out of those schools, only Minnesota currently has an open schollie (Wally's old spot). I don't know if Pitino Jr. is seriously recruiting him or not. Would not be surprised to see him land at a JUCO.

Robertin was another offer by the previous regime. He is currently enrolled at Chipola College in Florida, a JUCO basketball powerhouse. Robertin is a talent but he is also afflicted with the "not good enough grades to go to college" disease (TAMU was also recruiting him). My guess is that Wojo will not be seeking out Mr. Robertin's services in the future.

Yeah, we're too good for those Jucos and non qualifiers now. What did guys like Jerome Whitehead, Dwyane Wade and Jae Crowder ever do for Marquette basketball anyway?

I don't Marquette is too good for jucos. I think some of our best basketball alumni have taken the juco/non-qualifier route. Don't confuse my concern with one specific situation with a bias against jucos.

However, given that Wojo seems to be focused on athletic wings and Ellenson/Falzon/Sharma for the 2015 class, my guess is that Robertin is not a priority.

No future Whitehead
Wojo recruiting difference

Not true. You have bad info.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Not true. You have bad info.

What's the bad info? Unless one of their walk ons was given a scholarship, they currently have one scholarship available. I have multiple sources saying Yates has a scholarship offer from the gophers. Care to enlighten me?

Or should I be surprised if he lands at a JUCO?

No walk ons given a scholarship; no scholarships available. U b rong

Looked into it, you are right. Joey King is listed as a walk on VC but actually earned a scholarship. My apologies.

So Yates currently holds 5 offers from 5 schools that have 0 scholarships between them.
