Not to state the obvious, but I assume, as with every player, it comes down to money. I'd hope the dollars are bigger at MU than Rutgers.

They have football draining their basketball coffers

Any urologists on Scoop who can offer some free medical advice, hey?

I assume nothing when it comes down to recruiting and you hope the recruiting decision is beyond just the NIL.

Tre Norman appears to be a smart kid with a reported 3.9 GPA.  His prep school coach at Worcester deals with the Ivy League schools every year for his roster, so you hope there is some mentoring about academics and relationships from him.  You hope his family has the right views about this college choice.

We'll know in 30 days.

Since these athletes we are recruiting are professionals, I'll quote every professional athlete free agent: "It's not about the money".

So let's talk about what really matters in recruiting; how does MU's library stack up to Rutgers?

What a genius recruiting idea. Hosting free clinics exclusively for high school coaches, featuring NBA championship winning coaches. Great way to build relationships with the coaches of future potential recruits

There is a plaque on E Wash where he broke up a fight in the 70s with his kung fu moves.  Does that count?

Marquette can claim Billy Jack. Why is this not part of our recruiting shtick?...or is it?

Kon Knueppel with positive things to say about Shaka. Guessing it will be Marquette or Wisconsin, and while these interviews are always positive about all the players, he seems to come away with more concrete takeaways about MU than anywhere else.

MU will have to have a few transfers as there will be zero scholarships the following year!

I do not see any yet, OMAX has a long way to go, offensively he did not show much, defensively does not rebound yet, I see him as a 4 year player

In this day and age, scholarship numbers are a thing of the past.

Retention and culture we all here about but is really what Shaka wants?  No he wants better players!

Never stop recruiting. Not complicated.

Sometimes kids at the back end of the bench transfer that doesn't change what Shaka is building towards.
