Had an amazing time and experience down in Milwaukee. I want to thank Marquette and their whole staff for having us and taking care of my family. 💛💙 #notcommitted

You're right. Unofficial--I misread teh original tweet. He had OV's to UNC and Stanford. Unofficials to Marquette and Purdue this week.

Good to see he's doing the visit with his Meanstreets teammate AJ Casey. Will be interesting to see how Shaka sells PT to both of them given they are sort of the same position.

Looks like this is the sort of thing the staff is doing right now:

Marquette. "Some big staff changes and upgrades to facilities in the plans...only school that showed me film with two bigs on the floor which was intriguing for mismatches and a chance for me to use my whole arsenal offensively."

That's from Gus Yalden's interview with Zags. https://www.zagsblog.com/2021/06/24/seven-schools-involved-for-class-of-2023-big-gus-yalden/

Big staff changes: New coaching staff and new position (Director of Recruiting), possibly more changes down the line

Upgrades to facilities: Sounds like Al is getting an update

Rest of the quote: Yalden doesn't just want to be a back to the basket 5 despite his size. Wants to be able to shoot threes and put the ball on the floor.

Alpha playing against Emoni Bates while at Cornado.. His Defense is high level. Him and Bond can both really defend

Love the active hands. It's fun to see the type of player Shaka is recruiting.

Grade school to Mater Dei to The Ashville School to IMG Academy.  Some Scoopers would steer clear.

What facilities upgrades is he referring to?

Don't know. But I feel like its been awhile since the Al got an update. Probably something there?

Didn't Wojo have them do a bunch of upgrades his first year at the AL?

They got new locker rooms.

[jfp61]

Honestly, they could upgrade facilities a bit. I know they did the fitness center across the street and locker rooms. They did like refurbishing in like 2015. But i dont think they updated any of the Al offices/ social rooms or anything else in 10-15 years.

Honestly, I'm just happy the team went from like 1-2 actual coaches to 5 coaches. A recruiting and video director, and 2 program assistants.

[Pakuni]

It's a big place that's not 17+ years old. I would imagine portions get upgraded/updated pretty much every year.

Oh jesus, it's that old already.

[Newsdreams]

Oh jesus, it's that old already.

We are on 4th coach already

[Newsdreams]

Or maybe Crean's soccer facilities donation finally came?

2 new 2023 offers:

https://twitter.com/Miller_Report/status/1408188073091928064

Xzayvier Brown, unranked PG out of Philly. I believe we are his first high-major offer. His second best offer appears to be either Temple or VCU.

https://twitter.com/horacesimmons23/status/1408198052347887618

Horace Simmons, a SF so unranked that he doesn't have a 247 page also out of Philly. We also appear to be his first high-major offer. Second best offer appears to be St. Joe's.

Shaka really going for names. Chick is probably getting ready...

Xzayvier ... I've never seen the name spelled that way. I guess it solves the pronunciation conundrum.

Don't want to encourage but that is funny!

Morsell might be a done deal. Followed Marquette on twitter and the official twitter account hinted at it yesterday. https://twitter.com/MarquetteMBB/status/1408225269085884423?s=20
