Recruiting as of 5/15/25

[GOO]

Worth a read. Look towards the middle of the article for Bates mention. Sounds like someone we would be fortunate to have come to MU.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

People are talking about Kam Jones, Stevie Mitchell, Jonas Aidoo, David Joplin, Tamar Bates, Emarion Ellis and Tyrese Hunter.  I could see as few as 0-2 on the Marquette roster next year.

Roster speculation is a huge component of this thread.

With 2 open scholarships, Symir in the transfer portal, and uncertainty around the 3 players committed to Wojo, it is natural to speculate about those 2-6 spots.

In addition to the 6 players Ted listed, there are boatloads of transfers I'd love to see at Marquette.

It will be fun to see how it all shakes out.

Bates sounds like a great player. Pretty certain he'll decommit from Texas but think we'll see some very strong competition from the Jayhawks for his services.

My favorite quote from the article:

"Scoop" seems to be everything that Smart covets in a player.

Good kid. Sounded like he committed to Shaka rather than to UT. Could be an open window for us to get him. Would be a great addition--plays with fire and oozes talent.

Okay, I think p.1 is accurate as of this moment but I don't know how many scholarships are available for next year as things stand so someone please let me know.  Let's assume anyone currently in the Transfer Portal leaves and that Theo doesn't return for purposes of that quantitative exercise.

Should be a fun few weeks with comings and goings.  Remember, we track incoming Frosh here although general discussion about anyone coming into the program is always good.  Somebody should resurrect the Transfer thread that I think Brew started.  Happy Sunday everyone.  And note the little coaching correction!

(I wonder on what pages here we were all gushing about Joey's commitment back in the day?  Proves we're all fools!  )

Good having you back, Glow. Suffice to say this will likely change quite a bit in the coming months.

Like what you did there with Shaka ... but you left a Wojo reference just 2 sentences later ...

I'd also like to avoid some 'shot in the dark' Top 5 prospect that we've 'offered' but really aren't actively recruiting because he's simply going to Kentucky or Duke and Wojo Shaka already knows that.  I've also not assumed any additional scholarship availability due to transfer or early departure.  Any thoughts you guys have as to Wojo's pecking order is appreciated.  Thanks for the input and/or corrections.

In case anyone wanted a nice assessment of Tamar Bates (who may or may not be a possibility at this point), please see below.

Hope I'm around when Liam Charles Antetokounmpo - PF signs his LOI. I'll be 92!!

Waiting to hear a MU commit.

[MU82]

Bates sure sounds like he'd be a great get.

[PBRme]

Lot of classy responses, hope we are that classy if any of our players leave

Great news. It'd be a great get but lots of competition I imagine. Missouri and Kansas will surely make their pitch as he's a great talent.

Missouri would be a competitor. Tamar made it clear that having a black head coach was a priority for him.

Rocket Watts from Mich St just entered the portal.  Had some interest in MU at one time, I believe.

I don't think he'd be interested in playing behind Carton, unless Carton's being moved to the 2.

We were one of the finalists for him although it was pretty obvious he was going to MSU.

Hard pass.
A shoot-first point guard who's not good at shooting is not what Marquette needs right now.

And he told Izzo that he doesn't like playing PG.

Did he write a letter about Joey doh?

Yeah, sort of like the classy responses about the Hausers ayena?

[JakeBarnes]

Jabri Abdur-Rahim from UVA entered the portal.

We had been in on him a while ago. Unclear what the coaching change does there.

[Uncle Rico]

Who on this message board attacked the Hausers on social media?
