Recruiting as of 5/15/25

[BM1090]

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

Good call. I didn't get the reference they were making but that makes a ton of sense.

Do they get to pick shorts from any era? Because we don't have those anymore

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.

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.

Hmmmm...We are racking up lots of unranked or 3 star ranked offers. Must be a new and novel recruiting strategy; use lots of chum to get the really big ones.

Do you have a nickname for Shaka yet?  I'm really excited for it if I'm being honest

[MU82]

If we lose our opener, he'll be Shaka-Wojo-Dukiet-Chandler-Lipe.

Havent thought about it at all yet. No sample size yet on his coaching prowess for MU, and somehow I think that needs to wait a while.  For right now , if you like, he can be referred to as Chaka Kahn, of if you prefer, we can make it Chief Brodie from Jaws, throwing out the chum, in honor of the apparent recruiting strategy we are using at this point. And Chief Brodie is a compliment, as he did get the big one in the end.

I was at Game 2 last night at Fiserv (saw Ike Eke in the house).

Even though, it's not a MU event (but played at the same arena), to what extent can the MU coaching staff use this Bucks success when courting a potential recruit? I'm assuming they can't take a kid to an NBA game, but just being around that wild, passionate atmosphere I have to think would make an impact on someone considering taking his talents to Milwaukee.

If it is an official visit they can give them tickets

If it is an official visit they can give them tickets

I think that's only true if the ticket is less than $40. What's it cost to get a ticket to a Bucks playoff game?

[Pakuni]

If it is an official visit they can give them tickets

The rule book says schools are allowed to provide "reasonable" entertainment. I would imagine the NCAA doesn't consider NBA playoff tickets reasonable.

The NCAA defines reasonable as $40/day ($80 for the visit). And if I'm reading it correctly, it's $40 total, not $40 per person. Does not include food.

[BCHoopster]

Saw Joel Embiid at the game with Jamel Wilson.  Can a Buck give him tickets at  no charge, friend of Luc Ma Boute?

[brewcity77]

Depends on the face value of the ticket. They've obviously done Bucks games before, just because the resale value might be higher doesn't change the face.

I would understand it would be whatever  original face value for MU not the going price for tickets. JB would know.

Is there such a thing as going price? A week before the game? 2 days? A half hour?

I have paid double face value before. I have also paid pennies on the dollar. All depends on importance of game and when ticket was purchased.

I understand MU access to Bucks / Brewers games is different, not open market.

New 2023 offer. Anthony Finkley. Unranked wing out of Philly (I think Smart has a condo there or something). Holds two other high major offers, Rutgers and DePaul.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Class of '22 Trejuan Holloman is naming his top 6 tomorrow. He's been a big priority for Smart

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

https://twitter.com/DesmondClaude/status/1409270284469915648

New '22 offer. Desmond Claude. Unranked PG out Connecticut. Has picked up 7 high major offers in the past three days. Likely won't stay unranked for long.

Like it. The Chief Brodie approach to land the big one.

Very keen on Trejuan (nickname JJJ 2.0)

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Lots of offers out there for 22.

Wonder if Shaka has any backup plans for the last schollie if/when DG goes elsewhere. Probably too late in the game for that. 

All in all, even with Morsell, pretty disappointing output on this years "free agent" transfer class, IMO.

5J—we know. You have stated your position plenty.
