2016 guard Mustapha Heron visiting MU

[brewcity77]

Because he outrecruited Pitt, SJU, and Alabama? He'd be a great pickup but for me a coup involves outrecruiting a school or schools that are a significant level above yours

Heron would be a big get just because the perspective is he's such a strong SJU lean. That and we probably haven't landed an East Coast player of his ranking since Al was here.

Any word on how the visit went?

He had to reschedule, visits aren't allowed in July. Expect him to trip to SJU next month. Or if we're really lucky, commit before then (not happening, lol).

I think the other schools involved are very tough competition . Pitt has a consistently strong program and respected coach, Mullin is basketball royalty in NY and Avery has an impressive pedigree and a very motivational personality.  All offer instant playing time, which is how you recruit a kid of this ranking away from a blue blood.

Damn. This is tough. We could use Heron, Hauser, Coffey and Kostas. However, there's that whole scholly crunch.

Really loving that I have these conflicted feelings about high-level recruits with Wojo at the helm. He's really going after big talent so far in his first 2 classes.

[GGGG]

Not in his top 6.

Good. Not likely to get him anyway, would rather get eliminated and not waste resources and time on a kid we won't get. Better to hear no than maybe.

Next man up, hey?

you will almost always, always hear maybe before you hear yes.  I'd rather hear maybe.

Heron updated his list, changed top 6 to top 7, and Marquette was the school added to the list.

Not the best sign that we were forgotten

Not the best sign that we were forgotten

But a good sign that we were worth remembering

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Better to be on the list late than not on it at all.

well played

My guess is that it was not Mustapha's error.

You know how it is; Ol' Dad trying to use a smartphone...

[Dawson Rental]

Why are we even looking at this guy?  According to the story he only played for 17 minutes in his last AAU game.

His coach is playing mindgames with him.

Marquette wasn't forgotten. Heron didn't give the list and the list isn't final.

[Sharpie]

Marquette is in his top 5.

MU, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, St. John's.

Looks like St. John's is going to be the team to beat out for his commitment. His dad played with their assistant head coach.

[rocket surgeon]

So he's going to transfer from Marquette to Iowa St?

+++1  LOL

Totally agree that he's SJU's to lose.  I'd put that at about 75%.  But if we can't get him it would be nice to add talent to the conference.

[rocket surgeon]

Not really. If his dad was just an average dad maybe, but in that case I probably wouldn't have even mentioned what his dad wanted. But his father has very relevant input in this situation.

just so his name ain't tim-heyna
