Source?

Onepost, what say you?

Feeling great.  And logically, MU makes all the sense in the world with tomorrow's announcement.
The quotes in Zagoria's piece summed up what I was told.
Wojo is an absolute stud on the recruiting trail.

He has been amazing.  The kids he's already signed have been impressive enough, but if he adds Traci over UConn, Xaiver and Memphis, the future looks brighter by the day.

Wojo once again showing he can hang with the best of em.


Regarding Traci, I see plenty of mentions of his phenomenal senior season. All I could find was Traci Carter was averaging 12 PPG up until January when last updated. I also skimmed his teams schedule and noticed St.Anthonys on there. Carter team lost by 22, and he had 7 points in defeat vs a great team. I'm assuming he is in a loaded conference?

and (perhaps) on the heels of this, 24/7's Meyer now has Dequon Miller going to Arkansas St....
IF in fact Wojo was clear that DM was his backup choice to TC, this might be another indicator that we're closer to landing the PG Woj apparently wants vs. door number 2.

WAG, of course-

I think if Carter commits, it is a great get and hopefully he is the PG of the future.  

However, let's not act like he solves the PG situation Marquette has.  I doubt we'll be able to turn the entire offense over to a freshman point guard and get the most out of next year's talent.  I also think Duane should play very little PG next season.  It means we've still gotta get a veteran PG.

Have to wait until April to see what the team looks like.

Looking good. Still need another PG. Turning keys to a frosh can be a problem.

Life Center doesn't play in a conference in New Jersey. It's a prep outside the realm of NJSIAA so they'll cherry pick a few top teams in the state (St. Anthony, Hudson Catholic, Teaneck) but mostly play prep academies like themselves from out of state. Anthony's are tough this year without any major studs and Hudson Catholic/Teaneck are both ranked top 15 in NJ. Hudson has a PG, Barrino, who I've seen play twice and is a stud (side note -- he destroyed Life Center). He'll likely go low major or bottom level mid-major which creates some intrigue to me regarding Carter's potential.

It can be. Then again, ten years ago, Marquette trotted out an all-Frosh back three and that $hit turned out pretty well.

In many ways, this get is as impressive as Ellenson.

Not saying Carter will be as impactful (though he might be) and obviously he's not ranked anywhere near as high, so we didn't have to contend with Kentucky, et al.

But Carter was a late bloomer who got hot and suddenly drew major looks. Wojo went toe-to-toe with an NCAA title-winning former NBA guard at an elite basketball school and landed the kid. Pretty damn impressive IMHO.

Not only that, but he is under ranked, because he was injured. Some players are injury prone, but on the other hand Cadougan got hurt freshmen year and never got injured again. Duane sat out his freshmen year, but made it through this year healthy. However, depending on only one true point is a risky proposition.

How old is Traci?  Is his a true senior in HS or is this his 5th / Prep year?

Assuming that we land Traci,  Wojo just might have a starting 5 in his mind by March 10th. Then he starts thinking contingency and backup rotation.  That's light years ahead of last year.

More impressive, in my opinion. For me this is the biggest recruiting win of Wojo's career so far. Ellenson may be more significant, but this is the recruiting battle that indicates Wojo is a great recruiter.

If he is as good at evaluating talent as he is landing players, I just pray Marquette can keep him long term. I'm sure some will say I'm overstating things, but getting a commitment from Carter feels to me like an indicator that he's the best recruiter Marquette has had since Al.

Wojo beat out Cal, Izzo, and K for Ellenson. That's his biggest win

Has anybody seen this kid play in person yet?  I remember the Juan Anderson tape and you would think the kid could shot the ball, but after 4 years the light bulb never turned on.  He is 157th player this year, know he was hurt, supposedly better plus the schools recruiting him are better, but is he good enough to step in right away?

Hard to top beating out Calipari and Izzo for MU's first McDonald's AA in decades when it comes to biggest recruiting win, but this is a big one nonetheless.
What's impressive is that Wojo seems to have a knack for locking down kids once he gets them on campus. I'm sure there have been instances when a kid has visited and not committed to MU, but I can't think of many.
Somebody get Wojo his coffee, because the man is a closer.

Well, to be fair, Wojo had Wally to help because Wojo went out and recruited Wally to Marquette.
