Four public Big Ten schools, two private Jesuit Big East schools. All within 500 miles of home. Interesting choices.

And no Bucky, who thought they had him all but sewn up.

cristal bowel still says 67% uw-madison. smh

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I don't know who is doing work on the recruiting trail right now, but they need a raise.

[MuMark]

I think Wojo is the lead on Carton.

Jalen Wilson is Stan.

According to this article from a week ago, the "5 main players" for Carton right now are Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio State but "Marquette and Wisconsin are still in the mix." I have no idea how accurate that statement is. If true, and if he is cutting it to 6, it would seem that either Marquette or Wisconsin is getting the axe.

Yes he did

Always funny how these articles always seem to age poorly. No Wisconsin, no Iowa State and Xavier makes the final cut.

Raises are for closers.



Go get em Wojo. That is a top 6 that I am confident we can compete with.

Yup.

Love seeing us consistently get in tops of highly rated recruits

But we gotta start winning these battles.

Hopefully he's sold on being the lone true PG on a loaded veteran team

[GGGG]

Their recruiting has gone to sh*t the past year or so. 

[wadesworld]

That is a pretty dang awesome photo editing job.

We haven't exactly lost many. Tillman, Grimes, and Lee are the only ones that I can remember we were all in on which didn't come to fruition.

Well we also don't really get to an all in point on a lot too(which is to be expected).

I'm not complaining. I love the potential of guys like Cain, Elliot and John.

But to take the absolute next step it will be getting these clear top 50 guys...that are not instate with brothers on the team(again not complaining tho).

I do think it's scary what type of recruiting potential Wojo has tho. He's getting high end guys to give us a look and we've got a 10 seed, NiT and 2 nothing's on our resume. Once we start making some noise we may be filling classes with all top 50 guys.

You mean like Markus and Bailey?

Koby McEwen and Markus (probably 5* all American if he stays with his class) come to mind.

[wadesworld]

YouTubing a recruit and seeing a highlight video being put out there by Evan Flood and then having it lead off with "Badger247" for a bunch of kids that will never play for the Badgers is awesome.  Herro, Joey Hauser, and DJ Carton all recently.

It's funny how the varmints seem good at recruiting football talent but awful at basketball.

Markus reclassified tho. If he stays with his class and is the 5 star you stated we are going against teams other then Baylor and Central Arkansas.

McEwen isn't a recruit nor was he someone with a stacked final 6 that chose us.

Completely different situations.

Jalen Johnson out for them too.

[Newsdreams]

So Carton did really bad on his ACT, and bad GPA, hey?

[wadesworld]

Where did you see this?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I haven't seen it posted anywhere,  but I think it's pretty well known that he's not interested

[GGGG]

Their incoming football class is ranked #9 in the Big Ten.  Not that it matters.  They know what guys they have success with and recruit accordingly.

Like they used to with Bo.

Gotcha, thanks.  I've assumed for a while now that there would be no way he ends up there unless they unexpectedly overachieve by a ton the next 2 seasons, but I always figured they'd finish "2nd" no matter where he chose.
