Recruiting as of 4/15/25

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Agreed tho we need a backup 5 and someone to provide relief at the 1.  My guess is the coaches realize that something has to be done at the 1.  Move Koby to the 3 and play his as a seldom used back up PG and possibly add depth at the PG.  if koby doesnt want to play off the ball he has the grad transfer option and can go back to his mid major comfort level. 
Its amazing the ascension of Providence after they finally settled in with a capable PG.  MU is a top 10 team with a PG on this team that isnt as terrible as Koby.  Simply the worst in the BE.

If we're in the tourney next year, then I'm team Wojo moving forward.  It's not an impossible task but it's gonna take some coaching up.

Who's been coached up lately? Sacar, perhaps. I'm having trouble coming up with other candidates.

I mean, if Sacar is only a "perhaps," then nobody.  If you haven't seen improvement in Sacar you won't find it in anyone Wojo has coached (or really many players in the entire country).

I think we all need to prepare for a .500 season next year.

But wait....thought the overwhelming narrative here is that Wojo has us trending upward.

[BCHoopster]

Whos better logterman, jackson or mcewen?

The real question is, here are 3 point guards, do you want any of them starting?

[wadesworld]

He does.

But cancel next season.  Trend is downward.  .500 team.  No need to play the season.  On March 3, 2020, we know what our team is for the 2020-2021 season, and it's not good.

The PG position (as of today) looks very bad especially for a team with young talent that will need solid leadership on the court. I've not seen any Wojo players take big leaps in ability over the years so to expect significant improvements is wishful thinking. I don't look forward to a .500 season, but I feel a fair expectation of Wojo and the team is .500.

This sesason isn't done. Recruiting isn't done. Grad transfers haven't happened. This is like saying you think you'll shoot -18 in golf after making a birdie on the first hole. Take a deep breath.

[wadesworld]

I'll just say right now, anybody who doesn't think Sacar made SIGNIFICANT strides while at Marquette isn't even worth engaging in a discussion with.  That is the definition of "ignorance is bliss."

You can argue there aren't enough Sacar's for Wojo to point to, but to say "perhaps" Sacar developed as a player or to say "nobody" has made strides in their time under Wojo is just flat wrong, as Sacar is far more of a player than I think anybody would've reasonably imagined he would be by his senior year at Marquette.

I agree. Sacar is one of the best improvement stories at MU in quite some time. I never would have believed he would play this well.

Fair enough, but I'd say we're at the turn or on the back 9 and not on the 2nd hole when it comes to building next year's team.(2 out of 13 spots available?).

I think we will have to get a lot of big-time contribution from the newcomers next year. Unless Wojo secures a grad transfer to help lead I don't see the upperclassmen leading the team next year. So I do agree. Or else Torrence will have to take a big step forward too.

I agree. My comments earlier about significant improvements in players was referring to year-to-year as I was speaking about next year's team. I think many players have improved over the years with Wojo but it has been a slow, steady growth.

Wojo good or bad has been able to get a grad transfer or transfer every year, this year will probably be no different.  That will be know in 2 months much like Mane.


Also, I would say every player improves somewhat from year to year.  Markus could not play any D as a freshman.  He has improved that part of the game, for sure.
The other kids have improved, they just have not made the big jump like Sacar has.  Not many kids have been at MU for 5 years either.  I expect a big jump from Syr
next year, biggest improvement usually comes after there freshman year.

[Billy Hoyle]

DM is a great time. Very underrated.

some of the best brisket I've ever had. A place called Flying Mango. The best part is we got our food and started eating. The brisket was tasty. Then the waitress came back with full plates with meat that had just been finished, she figured this would be better, but we could keep what we already had.  The new stuff was right up there with anything I'd had in Texas.

I agree, there is the potential to land a quality PG for next year which will help immensely. But as it looks today, this is a .500 in the Big East with MH, SA and JJ, I think we'll be well below .500 in the Big East next year without them. IMO, expectations of post-season basketball next year is unfair to Wojo and the team.

Disagree. We have an outstanding recruiting class coming in that will make an immediate impact.

[PGsHeroes32]

The year I'd be more concerned about is two years from now. Next year we still have a very experienced team with at least 1 ready contributor. The year after we could potentially lose 4 graduates, and potentially Dawson if he's as good as it seems most McDonald's all Americans seem to be now days.

Not a huge fan of the leftovers unless Bailey comes out looking like his dad next year.

Really?

Don't get me wrong there are some ? marks. But that would be Lewis and Oso as sophmores, Torrence as a upper classman guard and Bailey as a senior. We would definitely need Garcia back but thats a solid foundation before factoring any additional pieces. Greg would also be a senior contributor.

Next year we will lose Theo(will miss the D but the O is clearly replaceable), Koby(lol), Cain(I've always been more pro Cain but hes still just role guy)

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Sacar has gotten exponentially better, problem is he still isnt very good.

Best line of the night, not playing like a 5th year senior!

Really?? You're coming here tonight, and doing this?? Really?? You owe this board an explanation on how you can keep defending this crap show. I'm serious..how??

[Aircraftcarrier]

Would really be a shame if we lose Garcia and Ighodaro.Ighodaro dominating the State Final on both ends of the court.
