Sacar Anim

Ty Jones of Howard Pulley AAU. Sacar Anim of Howard Pulley. Hmmm...

Refusing to count chickens.   It seems that whenever there is an 'announcement' with the kid it usually (not always) leaves the MU community disappointed.

I hear he already committed on his visit. Good get for Wojo! Now go focus on getting us a PG

Would be a great addition!

[jsglow]

Did Anim ever go on an official visit to Northwestern?

[Dawson Rental]

Can't believe Wojo is even allowing the kid to sully The Al with his presence.

lol

No.

I can't remember the last time we were reasonably sure that a prospect was going to pick MU ended up going elsewhere.

I had the same reaction.

[tower912]

Fair enough.   I hope he comes.   A good kick-off to round 2 of recruiting.  My impression is that he is similar to Joe Chapman.   And that isn't a bad thing.

Anim just visited MU last week.  Is announcing today just a few days after visiting.  Onepostellenson, who has a friend that's a team manager, says Sacar hit it off with current team members.  Plus Sacar started following the entire MU staff on Twitter, right down to the freaking video coordinator.

Given all that, I'm pretty confident.

If Sacar commits this afternoon (fingers crossed), where do we stand with open scholarships?  Two?

Will this be streamed?

A coaching prospect: Shaka!

But that's OK, because we cooled on him anyway.

We got the right guy.

Something interesting to think about is that Wojo has gotten every recruit he has gone after hard and had visit. (Besides Levin) He is one of the best recruiters out there and I don't think thats debatable.

A bit early for that, but his closing rate is impressive.

Now, if he can pry Traci Carter away from UConn...

Slight disagreement here: He did go after NN hard, and lost him. Of course there are other factors here, also, none of which are fully known. And didn't he try to get the guy from out east that was Buzz's number 1 recruit--forget his name?

I think this was more MU pulling away, and I'm not a big homer. Wisconsin isn't even recruiting him, that should say something. A PG that can shoot from Sun Prairie and they don't call? He'll probably end up at Iowa St.

Well he didn't get Akoy Agau who made an official visit.  I still think while the initial results are positive, he has to string together good classes.  We will see if he can do that.

I actually think Wojo wanted Shayok (now at UVA) a lot more than he did Hill (Bert's #1 recruit).  But he didn't get either.

Looking forward to the official news this afternoon. 

Hopefully we'll have 1 down, 3 to go.

[BCHoopster]

Amin might be a nice addition, but not sure how much he will help the immediate problems they are going to have.  The next 2 recruits are huge for next year.

He's been effective in landing recruits, I agree, but as Sultan mentioned, he missed out on Agau. Levin and Noskowiak aren't really worth mentioning because he got both of them, they just didn't work out. We'll see if that's for the better or not.

That said, way too early to say he's one of the best recruiters out there. Buzz landed a great class with three top-100 players as a rookie HC, seems like a new coach often brings a lot of energy that can translate to recruiting wins. The question is if they can maintain that. Will Wojo back up 2015 with strong years in 2016 and 2017? Will we see another McDonald's All American in Wojo's first 5 years or will be we waiting another 30 or so years like we did between Trotter and Ellenson?
