Recruiting as of 4/15/25

[Fred Garvin]

Woeful was on Bill Micheals show and said Kostas is 6'10" now

[tower912]

I agree that we are done until spring.    IF Wojo knows that Henry is staying, that would be the time to take a chance on a project like Kostas, one that could be red-shirted for a year.    Because if Henry stays, the minutes for 16-17 are all but set.

Even if Henry stays (longshot), I'd hope we'd recruit another big. Our frontcourt still lacks depth.

Says Bailey "won't join the Golden Eagles until 2018" because of his mission.

Has this been confirmed, or is it still speculation?

I don't know if it will ever be officially "confirmed," but he will be taking his mission.

This has always been the plan and I have neither seen nor heard anything to suggest otherwise.

By the way, while I knew his dad Thurl had a nice NBA career, I didn't realize he played for the "Survive and Advance" NC State team until like the 3rd time I watched that 30 for 30.

Right.  A couple of pages ago I mentioned that I'd use his anticipated start date unless we heard otherwise.

Marquette's press release regarding Bailey's NLI  said the following.  I'd say that's as official as it's going to get.

"Bailey, a 6-8, 190-pounder, will arrive on campus in the summer of 2018 after completing a Mormon mission and have four years of eligibility with the Golden Eagles."

Right.  The only news would be if he changes his mind.

So does this hold up a scholie for the next two years until he arrives?  Sounds like he is really more of '18 recruit than a '16.

No. 

[jsglow]

Guys, is there anyone else using the original criterion to add to the list?  Remember, no guys we know are going to Duke/Kentucky that we just threw out a scholly offer to.

How about Amir Coffey when Pitino gets fired?

How about Amir Coffey when Pitino gets fired?

Lol that's basically the reason he isn't getting fired for this pitiful team.

Gonna give him his good class to prove it once and for all.

If Wojo can at least land a 3 star PF or C every year, eventually you have a nice set of big men.  I don't worry about him recruiting guards / wings.

Nice Henry article on Fox Sports front page. I am sure Wojo probably realizes Henry is one and done and knows the front court will be weak with out him.

It's a travesty that we were able to be more prepared to build around ellenson with 1 or 2 strong seniors. He deserved a shot at a deep tourney run with the way he has been playing. This is why I don't blame guys going to duke or Kentucky. You only get 1 shot at a championship so might as well take your best shot at it.

If trying to win a championship is important to him, he can come back for another year (or more).

Put Damion Lee and Shonn Miller on this team and it's a totally different season. Hopefully guys seeing us have some success, and especially the void left for a strong PF if Henry goes will put us in the market for those types come summer.

Actually, HE can have 4 shots at a championship.

[Earl Tatum]

Boone-I've been saying this and I get shot down. (Big Man). Around 6-8 or 6-9 230 with an
attitude for rebounding or mixing it up under the basket and I get jumped on.Mentioned a
UW player for an example 6-8 245. I didn't want the player but wished for some one that size.
You can't score if you don't have the ball. I like Bailey and Hauser. Hopefully Markus Howard
makes it to MU.
