Haanif Cheatham picks Marquette

[ecompt]

And congrats to coach Wojo. Great Get!

[humanlung]

Great to have you as a Warrior!

[GooooMarquette]

Welcome Haanif!

[chuck]

Shooting guard Haanif Cheatham just verbally committed to Marquette. He's wearing the blue and gold hat now at Pembroke Pines Charter HS. If we get Henry Ellenson, I would argue that this class will be MU's greatest recruiting class. Ever.
Ellenson (5 ESPN; 6 Scout; 9 CBS Sports)
Noskowiak (49 ESPN; 89 Scout; 68 CBS Sports)
Cheatham (78 ESPN; 80 Scout; 61 CBS Sports)
Heldt (Unranked on ESPN, but #17 center and #15 center is 89 overall; 56 Scout; 94 CBS Sports)

Welcome Haanif.  Gotta make Henry's commitment just a bit easier.  Warrior Nation.

Just so we show some respect, I believe his first name has 2 a's and 1 n, not the other way around.

If someone knows better, please share.

If we get Ellenson, our 2015 class will be #2 in the nation.

That's correct. Too bad there were plenty of people that never could spell Davante's name correctly after four years.

[real chili 83]

Cheatham?

Never heard of him.

/ducks.

[MattyWarrior]

Plus Wojo beat out Brent and a lot of good schools for Haanif. Welcome to MU!!

Wasn't it Devante

Are you saying for the time being or when it's all said and done? Louisville got another 5* last night and then Arizona is loaded so I don't think we'll pass them. I think we'll be top 5 with Arizona, Louisville, Duke, and Kentucky (eventually they'll land their studs).

Welcome to Marquette University, one of the greatest basketball schools in the country!

[MU82]

If we get Henry Ellenson, I would argue that this class will be MU's greatest recruiting class. Ever.

I would argue that we should wait to see how this class does before we - as Denny Green would say - crown their ass.

For example, I have no idea what the 2000 class of Dwyane Wade and Scott Merritt (and Terry Sanders) was ranked, but the mere presence of Wade ended up making it superior. I mean, is this current class going to have a future Hall of Famer and a guy who averaged 10 ppg for a Final Four team? We'll see.

I'm guessing the same could be said about several of Al's recruiting classes, given that he sent numerous players to the NBA.

Make no mistake, I already am absolutely thrilled with Wojo's first recruiting class and will be even happier if Ellenson is a Warrior. But I would argue that there is a big difference between rankings on paper and production.

Let's let the kids play a few minutes - let alone a few seasons - before we anoint them, no?

Well put, but it could be the highest RANKED class we have ever got.

Al never had good classes, he only got a player to take over for a player leaving, maybe his best was Chones, Allie, George Frazier.
First Chones, then McNeil, Lucas, Bo Ellis

Brent who?

[CTWarrior]

Welcome aboard Haanif!  Nice to get great news to start the weekend!

[jsglow]

I think it all comes down to potential. Consistently bring in Top 100 kids and your chances for long term success improves.

And on a completely different matter,  the fact that it's hard for Homer to say 'Noskowiak to Haanif for the 3' brings a smile to my face.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Excellent pick up. Welcome to the Warrior family Haanif
