Ellenson Top 3

[leever]

FYI MU82 Boeheim played at Syracuse

Not sure if it makes him "elite" but Boeheim was team captain in his senior year at SYracuse playing in the backcourt with Dave Bing (who MAY have been a bit more "elite") on a NCAA tournament team.

Fair enough.

Although management regrets any inconvenience caused by its errors, we stand behind our overall thesis.

And we are 99.999999% sure that C.J. Fair and Tyler Ennis didn't choose Syracuse because Jim Boeheim was a team captain in 1965-66.

Just talked to a friend connected in the basketball program.  He said the coaching staff feels the same way we do about Ellenson, nearly a lock for him too commit.  Just thought I'd pass along the good news!

I'm not counting on anything until I hear it from H. E. himself...and maybe not even then.

It's still early, but have reason to believe Henry Ellenson is a slight lean to Marquette and Diamond Stone a slight lean to Wisconsin.

How exactly do you get all these leans about where a player is going? Just curious.

[MU82]

Was Shaka a slight lean to Marquette, too?

I'll believe it when he commits ... and then I'll really believe it when he actually signs the letter of intent, because I've seen commits de-commit.

I'm not Mark Miller

He is the most connected guy in the state when it comes to prep basketball

He wasn't leaning, he was a done deal.....

Yes but I'm just wondering how he's so connected, does he speak to family's, actual players?

[4everwarriors]

Frequently, both the players and families don't have a clue 'til the very end. Hard to believe, but true.

Wow. It's still early...a slight lean. Doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence.

If he is only a slight lean than we are not getting him.

Lets face it.  Somehow UW will get Stone, and Ellenson will bolt for MSU.

Thanks Eeyore.

[Galway Eagle]

Henry could be waiting on a condition that haanif for someone of equivalent talent commits here so he's 100% confident there will be ample other elite talents around him

[GGGG]

I'm not sure I would classify Cheatham as "elite."

I think y'all are reading too much into the phrasing of a tweet. Just relax, his decision will come soon. By all indicators we are the clear favorite

Anyone in the top 100 is close to, and could turn out to be elite but it might be a little early to give him that recognition. He is a top tier talent though. Would be another great get for MU basketball. Our roster could be as good as anyone's in the country if we land Ellenson and Cheatham. Go get em' Wojo!

If Cheatham is "elite," then we already have an elite roster.

[TedBaxter]

Cheatham can be a very good player at Marquette and possesses a skill set that they currently don't have on the roster, including being a lefthander.  He's a crafty scorer who can play 2, maybe 3 positions.

Oh I agree completely.  But I don't think Ellenson is waiting for him to decide before he makes his own choice.
