[JakeBarnes]

That's a pretty solid name change too.

[NickelDimer]

Small sacrifice for a player of his ilk

[SWARM!]

Done deal TM

I can't believe I'm doing this...but couldn't hurt.

[Cooby Snacks]

Sure.

[Litehouse]

Let's do this.

[real chili 83]

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhh!

Dunks, time to break out the lucky Sonoran Salsa.

[barfolomew]

It's a fairly simple choice, Mr. Lee.
Do you want to be a turtle? Or a wildkitty? Or an annoying songbird?

Or do you want to be a warrior?

[MU B2002]

I'm in.

[Tugg Speedman]

Let's do this.

Done

For what its worth, someone on twitter asked Jerry Meyer his prediction on Damion Lee and he simply said "Arizona". I don't know how much weight to put on this but it seems like a lot of people are saying Arizona. However, I haven't heard any specific reasons why Arizona is the perceived frontrunner. I think it may be a situation where everybody is saying Arizona because everybody is saying Arizona. I think his mind is far from made up. I hope we can get him on campus for a visit, and I still like our chances a lot.

Damn!!!!

Let's get him on campus

For anyone with better knowledge...

Lee has scheduled 3 visits (Gonzaga, Arizona, and Louisville). And some in the Maryland community believe Lee could visit Maryland last. Where does MU fit in? Feel left out in the cold...

[esotericmindguy]

Can't imagine why he would go to Marquette as a 5th year guy. Wouldn't make much sense, Marquette finished dead last in the big east. Lots of "ifs" involved to even make a run a the tourney.

I know Wojo wants to win now, but seems to me both sides would be better off with him elsewhere. I'd rather see Cheatham, Cohen, Anim, or JJJ progress in the wing position.

Well, for one thing Lee has done more researching on next season's Marquette team than you have.  For two, no, we would not be better off without Lee, and for Lee we would be a very good fit/option.

That's just a ridiculous statement to write.

Obviously schools hope to change his plans when he visits them, but from what I understand Lee plans to visit all five and decide in May.

Let's face it, the items on his list in choosing a school are probably different than a typical freshman player and probably go something like this:

1.  Who will help me get exposure to NBA scouts and who will feature me and allow me to show what I can do to highlight my skills for NBA scouts.
2.  Repeat 1.
3.  Which team and coaching staff do I trust to do number 1.

4.  Who will help me develop my skills to showcase for the NBA.

5. Where am I essentially guaranteed of getting time and being featured as a scorer.

6.  Where will I enjoy myself for 9 or 10 months of my life and feel comfortable with the team and staff.

He may end up at AZ, but I doubt his decision will be made on the AZ sites and weather. Not for a 5th year senior that wants to show off what he can do for the NBA.

We can sell the development, playing time, and playing before NBA scouts in NBA cities and the east coast and NY.  Plus, he is almost guaranteed a lot of playing time if this allows Duane to play some 1 or if it allows Lee to play some 1.

If your goal is to play one season to increase your exposure to NBA execs/scouts, The Big East is the way to go.  You will play in more NBA arenas in the BE than any other conference.  Simply put, in the BE you go to the NBA and make it easy for them.  In the Pac-12, they have to get on a long plane flight to see you.

If you go to AZ, what happens when you put up a big night against Washington State in front of no NBA scouts starting at 11PM ET when NBA execs are going to bed and not watching?
