Tightening the screws on Howard to make a decision?

Tightening the screws on Howard to make a decision?

Perhaps. Can't kick back, put your feet up, and assume Howard is MU-bound. That's a great way to be left empty handed.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

6 boards/game is not mf'er hood, hey?

6.4 rpg when you only play 21 minutes a game is mf'er good

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Some baggage?  Originally committed to Nova.  Decommited and ended up at UNLV.  He was arrested for felony burglary that was eventually plead down to a misdemeanor when he was at UNLV.  He then missed four games this past year at ASU for rules violations.

I mean, at least he didn't kill anybody.

This does sound like too much baggage. But Stan Johnson did help recruit him to Arizona State even after the burglary. Doesn't mean he'd recommend him now, but if Stan Johnson gave the thumbs up I could see Wojo making a run at him.

Quite possible Howard gave Wojo da old Jones. Always keep recruitin', hey?

No. "Tightening screws" is not a successful recruiting strategy.

I'm more confident on Howard coming to Marquette than I am that every other guard on our roster will return for next season.

Sure hope you're right. I am nervous about that given the staff's movement on guards all of a sudden.

Cheatham declaring?

Cheatham declaring?

Come on.....with the new rules anybody can get feedback which they can use going forward but Cheatham has no chance of being drafted this year.

Neither is sitting back and assuming you have a kid all locked up.

Of course there is a middle ground between "tightening the screws" and "sitting back."

Due diligence to make sure all bases are covered.

Absolutely. That's all I'm suggesting.

OT:
Evan Daniels ‏@EvanDaniels  4h4 hours ago Kentucky, USA
Providence PF Ben Bentil will declare for the NBA Draft, but not sign with an agent, a source told Scout. Leaves option open to return.

Good stuff here guys.  Let's try to keep this to the HS kids.  We've got a darn good Transfer thread going here too.  I'm still convinced that we're Markus' top choice but Wojo needs to keep the ball moving forward.  We do need another PG regardless because Haani is so much better suited to the #2 and he might be one of our main options next year.

Sorry. I let it get off track when I posted the transfer information. Will make sure I keep it to that thread.

If Wojo is looking at another guard, it might mean Howard is a very big question mark??

[GGGG]

As TAMU said, I think it might mean a transfer more than anything.

[VegasWarrior77]

Wojo has said you can never have too many players who:
*are quality people
*can handle the ball
*can shoot the ball

Always be recruiting!  It could mean a possible transfer or a backup plan for Howard.  Will be interesting to see how things work out.

[jsglow]

I think Wojo really wants 13 scholly players in uniform next year.  Maybe one gets to red shirt.  But never stop recruiting.  This'll work out.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already, but who was the JUCO big man that Stan allegedly visited last week?
