Recruiting as of 5/15/25

Definitely the smart thing to do for Mane, if someone wants to take him in the first round, why would you not jump at that? Glad he's keeping his eligibility so still worth watching to see what he ultimately does.

[onepost]

Doubt he stays in IMO.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Karim mane just entered the draft

This was always going to happen

Doubt he stays in IMO.

My thoughts as well

[dgies9156]

If he goes, I look forward to watching him in the NBA. He seems like a sharp young man with a solid head on his shoulders.

Given the opportunity. we would do the same thing. And, unlike Henry Ellenson, he has a chance to be a first-rounder. if that's the case, go. Period.

Otherwise, c'mon home Mr. Mane. We'd love to have you at Marquette!

I'm confused... henry was a first rounder...

[Windyplayer]

Perhaps the distinction was lottery?

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

We've done it again!

We are 10-10 in our scoop letter writing campaigns

[JakeBarnes]

Agreed. His stock was slipping before the COVID stuff. This would have been more realistic had he been able to do the in-person drills and scrimmages and build up the hype.

If Mane goes, we can add this to the list of highly ranked prospects that Wojo has spent a lot of time and energy chasing.  And not landing. 

You have to know when you get to the point to cut bait.  And I'm not sure he has a good understanding of when that point is.

what round did Henry go in the draft??

Really?

I am?  How?  This has been a recurring theme under Wojo.  We are in the hunt for top prospects right up to the finalist stage...and then are often left at the alter.  More often than not, we are then left with scholarship openings.

[The Sultan]

Really?

Yes.  Really. 

[Newsdreams]

"I sent in my paperwork, but I am keeping my options open as far as college," Mane told ESPN. "I am not planning on hiring an agent right now. I want to hear directly from teams. If I can get a guarantee I'll be drafted, I will probably need to think about staying in."

[Jay Bee]

Basically a non-story at this point. A kid who has been thinking about going pro is sti thinking about going pro.

Why make it out to be something more than that?

[BCHoopster]

This is why Wojo is still looking at other recruits for next year.  MU got the one they needed, but you can not fault him for trying to get Mane.  Still has a chance,
but if somebody falls into his face got to take that recruit and move on.

More interested to know what Tyrese Hunter is thinking, any word?  He is one of the quickest guards I have seen in a long time.

Really?

Watt kolor weenie duz dis get, hey?

1. That is every coach in America.
2. You have no idea the innerworkings of Wojo's recruiting philosophy.

Unless I'm misinterpreting this, this statement reads to me like him saying all he is looking for is a promise he will get DRAFTED(this is the key word), not necessarily in the 1st round, but if someone tells them they will take him, he will stay in.

That is how i am reading it. He was projected as 2nd rounder to start the year, but I haven't seen anything near that since then.

1. Not really
2. No, but I have seen the results.  Oftentimes hoping for THE recruit while others more attainable head elsewhere.

There's a lot to be said about this.  If you fish for trophies, you better get them or you'll go hungry

Huh?
The kid for months has said he was leaning toward college. Wojo should have known he was going to change his mind a few days before the deadline?
Not even the 247 Crystal Ball is that good.

1. Yes really. Even the blue bloods miss out n top recruits, even though they are in the recruits Top 5.
2. I have seen the results too. Look at this year for example. We arguably have a Top 15 recruiting class. Mane was a luxury. And as you might have seen, Wojo still has his Pole in the water trying to land other recruits.
