Recruiting as of 3/15/24

New Rivals 2021 rankings out today. Marquette has been linked to:

#1 Patrick Baldwin Jr
#3 Michael Foster
#4 Jonathan Kuminga

So yeah....Wojo better bring out the special sauce in 2021. Coming off back to back national championship should help 

You know ... here's the kind of guy I am ... I'd settle for one national title plus a second FF appearance. I don't like to be too demanding!

2020 four-star Justin Lewis is taking an unofficial visit to Marquette today, source tells Stockrisers.

Offered by MU this summer.

Marquette was three deep for him in Baltimore just a week ago. Certainly seems like one of our top targets for 2020.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

A couple thoughts on Justin Lewis.

1) Lewis is ranked outside the top 100 on most lists.  But Jalen Wilson was also ranked outside the top 100 last summer before rising to top 50 status this summer.  The MU staff evaluation of Wilson was pretty good and maybe Lewis will have a similar rise in the rankings.  Is MU once again  ahead of the curve on the ranking gurus? My gut says yes.

2) With 2020 projected to be a large class for MU, might Wojo work for an early commitment?  Especially with someone the staff feels better than his ranking.  I wonder if Lewis has been identified as that player.

Could you please post this in GIF form in Scoop so I don’t have to waste my time clicking an extra link and going to a separate site?

Thanks in advance.

The time I spent trying to find it in a GIF was enough to cover a whole week of clicking on TAMU's twitter links. I really should have just PM'd him and asked him to convert it for me.

Stan was in Phoenix yesterday. I'd imagine this is who he was seeing unless he was there to ding dong ditch the Mannions.

TAMU, I think we have our answer:

While Stan was hitting the West Coast, and Wojo was in Minnesota, Coach Killings was in Tennesee.

Another great week of fall workouts, agilities, and pickup. Thank you to coaches from Louisville, Marquette, and Buffalo for coming to check out our guys.

Most likely in for Keon Johnson, #30 player in the 2020 class per 247Composite. Borderline 5-star SG.

That's a real early cut down list but I'll take it. Going against the who's who of the midwest...and Arizona State.

Desmond Polk posted this. Going on unofficials to Iowa State and Iowa where he has offers and Creighton MU and Badgers are interested. 40 inch vertical. Desmond has it all , a great shot, basketball IQ and a serious Pogo Stick.

Thanks to Marquette basketball coach Stan Johnson for stopping by workouts! #GoldenEagles

There's a picture too but you'll have to click

David Johnson to Louisville. 4-star combo guard. Could deter Watts or Lundy but probably not. They have plenty of room on their roster and are in a bit of a rebuild.

Looks like the Johnson relationship carried over from Xavier.

Man, it seems to me these kids are really gambling with their college careers by choosing Louisville. They are looking at serious NCAA penalties. The school essentially plead guilty when they fired Pitino and Jurich, so its not a matter of IF it is just WHEN. I don't know what Mack is telling them but he may torpedo his reputation if he telling everyone nothing is going to happen.

Also, I feel bad for the UofL fans. The ones I have have met are great college basketball fans. They deserve better than what is coming their way but the school deserves everything they are going to suffer.

Watts to Michigan State.

@RobDauster
Michigan State just landed a commitment from a four-star recruit named Rocket Watts, who was born to be a stud with a name like that.

Interesting. Not sure that's a good fit honestly.  Didn't expect to land him so no sour grapes.
