Recruiting as of 3/15/24

[Herman Cain]

I doubt that Haanif's story will every come out, unless Big Daddy gets permission to tell us, but I think that its safe to say that the reason he left wasn't because he didn't get to take enough threes. 
Markus needs to learn how to be a better distributor, but his ability to break defenders down on the dribble means that he doesn't have as far to go to become a good distributor as some think.  I also think that not enough people are taking Greg seriously as a PG next year.  If he works on his handles and gets healthy he can get the job done.

Greg Elliott will be our point guard next year and will do a great job of it.

Haha! No he won't. And he wouldn't do a great job. His handle needs a ton of work.

I'm skeptical, but Wojo said this year we have a team with 2 primary ballhandlers (Markus and Andrew). He then said Greg will eventually be that but he's playing with a hurt thumb.

So clearly he does envision that for Greg at some point.

I would love to have the next Derrick Wilson as a back up on next year's team.

An effort to make Scoop Takes?

Agreed. He reiterated this on Saturday night. Greg will likely spend time at the point next year. I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

He'd make a better backup than Dawson

[Floorslapper]

Yea. For sure.

I highly doubt GE is starting PG next season. They need a real high level PG to go to the next level.

5 Star Point Guard Ashton Hagans just decommitted from Georgia. 6'4'' PG: https://247sports.com/Player/Ashton-Hagans-93920

Any shot we go after him to fill that very necessary PG spot? Any connections to MU at all with this kid?

EDIT: Didn't realize he is class of 2019... whoops.

EDIT2: He's Reclassifying.

Top recruits do sometimes commit to lower programs. It's not common, but using ESPN's top-100...

• 2007 - #32 Herb Pope New Mexico State, later transferred to Seton Hall.
  
• 2008 - #13 Luke Babbitt Nevada, played 2 years then declared for the NBA Draft.
  
• 2010 - #17 Ray McCallum Detroit, committed to play for his dad.
  
• 2010 - #24 Tony Mitchell North Texas, stayed close to home & ended up playing for former MU assistant Tony Benford.
  
• 2010 - #33 Trey Zeigler Central Michigan, played 2 years for his dad, transferred to Pitt and TCU after dad was fired.
  
• 2012 - #19 Danuel House Houston, committed to the program when in C-USA, later transferred to TAMU.
  
• 2013 - #28 Erik Mika BYU, played one year, went on a 2-year mission, played a second year, declared for the draft.

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes players do stay home. Whether to play for family or just to be close to them, it does happen. It's interesting that it really hasn't happened much the past 5 years. Be interesting to see where Baldwin Jr. ends up.

Nevada (coming off 4 straight NCAA appearances at the time) and BYU are not "lower programs" (BYU in particular if one is a Mormon from Utah).

Yeah...Nevada was in the WAC. Two of those were auto-bids. I don't care if they had been to 4 tournaments, they were and are absolutely a lower program. They have never not been a lower program. Same for BYU. They were a mid-major that had just changed conferences and had only once been higher than a 7-seed under Dave Rose.

Both are fine programs, but neither are high-majors and neither routinely compete for top-40 players. That's simply not the reality of those programs. They succeed by finding guys the high-majors miss or prioritizing guys the high-majors don't.

Georgia's only one state over from me. I guess I'll roll up my sleeves and get to work!

Georgetown and Marquette coming hard for Hagans.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Jerry Meyer also tweeted that we and Georgetown are “pushing hard” for him. Here’s another quote:

“Ewing will bring along an assistant”
“Marquette is bringing the entire staff”

Wojo and staff want him bad.

Meyer says Boston College, Florida, Ohio State, Providence, and Wake Forest have also reached out to him since he decommitted from Georgia. This would be a HUGE get.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I like.

[SaveOD238]

I pulled up a video of a game where Hagans went 14/16/12.  Damn.  I can already see him dishing to Sam and Markus on the wings and finding bigs underneath for dunks.

Hagans is EXACTLY what we need.

[wadesworld]

Dear God would that hit the spot.

[DegenerateDish]

I don’t know how else to say it, but geez-us, Hagans is exactly what MU needs. Size, skill, man oh man, MU would be a nightmare to match up against.
