Recruiting as of 5/15/25

Better to have him visit Marquette once Sam is there.

Joey's decision on MU might depend largely on how much Sam likes playing for Wojo.

[Freeport Warrior]

Hey freeport,

I noticed that further on in you linked article, there's a story about Keshawn Justice from Madison.  Have you seen him?  Any thoughts?

Yes. I like him a lot. He joined Playground Warriors a couple years back and I thought it was an odd choice for him. He could be the focal point on a lot of teams, but he sort of disappears in the McCabe/Herro show, especially now that they added Deiner. It's good to see him getting some pub. He is a nice kid too. I like him because he is a two-way player and he is long. He would fit a ton better on that WI United team because White and Curtis get after it just like he does. Nobody plays great D on PGW. Playground Warriors also added Will McDonald who looks to be about the same size as Justice too, so there is a lot of competition for the 3 spot. I don't know if he is MU-worthy quite yet, but certainly possible.

I appreciate you sharing your insights.

Completely agree Freeport, great kid. Will piggy back on this post & add MU hasn't expressed interest in the young man. He is camping at Wisconsin this summer. Hearing from them & a ton of mid majors (offers from UWGB / UWM).

The exposure playing with Herro / McCabe is helping get his name out slowly but surely

Not to seem anxious (ok.... who am I kidding), but has there been any feedback about Gill's visit?

He silently verballed to Wojo weeks ago...and then scheduled a visit at Maryland after that...

                                        .....at Wojo's suggestion, so that it would look like a bigger get when he accepted MU's offer.

Nothing. 

[Silkk the Shaka]

When the kid's from Wisconsin, I'm skeptical that weather during the visit is much of a factor.

You don't think cloudy skies and 55 degrees vs. 75 and sunny has an impact on a recruit's ice cream truck experience?

Okay, I'm going to need a definition for that.

I heard it went well.

I heard it went well.

So Kostas doing a second shift as an Uber driver is paying off with info......nice!

Louisville well?

[MomofMUltiples]

Hey Mom,

I was just wondering, were you a MU fan prior to the MUltiples' decisions?

Marquette's in my blood haha.  Dad grew up in Milwaukee and even though he chose to be a badger, as was my mom, who grew up in Madison, it's been the alma mater of many aunts, uncles, cousins, my kids and cousins' kids.  I think I noted in another thread that one of my uncles - all 5'10 of him - played MUBB in 1949.  Might've gone there myself, except I got a full ride scholarship at William and Mary.

Unfortunately, W&M's athletics pretty much suck, as have the gophers, so Marquette became my go-to for basketball.  Can't wait to cheer them on to the next national championship.

I am not sure if he has a drivers license yet.

Kalif Young, a 6-foot-9 forward from Orangeville Prep in Ontario in class of '16, will visit Marquette on Wednesday and Thursday per source.

[fjm]

Was waiting for warmer weather.

[HoopsterBC]

Was waiting for warmer weather.

Highs of 48 both days, doubt it.  typical gloomy days.  At least he is showing up, good sign to get one of the kids.  I would say Gill will like Maryland, lots of playing
time there, campus and great crowds for games.  See what happens.  Rather get Young and grow the program.  If they get Gill, next year they will for sure need
a grad transfer the following year.  Rather have 4 year kids.

Really a good sign!!

[GGGG]

I feel pretty good that he's taking a mid-week visit.  And I agree with Hoopster that I would rather have a four year guy like him versus a one year guy like Gill if one is only an option.

[fjm]

I personally would rather have Gill and then get a 4 year next year. The strength of the guys we are looking at for PF in 2017 is a bit more superior to kalif. (This is just based on rankings.)

Having said that, I know there is no guarantee of getting one of the 2017 guys we are looking at.
