Recruiting as of 5/15/25

[The Equalizer]

Too lazy to look: Any update on Isaac Traudt?

We offered in October when Wojo was still running the show.  I haven't seen any indication that Shaka has been involved.

This article within the last two weeks indicated visits already made to Nebraska, UNC, MSU, & Virginia (we don't have the best track record head-to-head with three of those).  Seems to some mutual interested in Michigan (no offer), and planned visits to Notre Dame, Gonzaga and Kansas.  Putting all that together and it suggests we won't be pulling out the Ron Paul Its Happening meme for Isaac.

Thanks. That response was worth more than the price of my yearly dues.

Finally some good news.

Sean Jones Led Peach Jam in steals. Was 4th in assists. Scores mainly inside the arch, has a great handles and defensive ability. An can still score inside the arch with midrange and getting to the rim faster than anyone else.

This is the guy we need to finally get us back to the Superbowl

[Vander Blue Man Group]

So for those who know much better than I, are we feeling good about our position with any other recruits or is it too soon to tell?

We are in top X lists for AJ Casey, Christian Watson,  and Bryce Lindsay (though I imagine yesterday's news likely changes things for him). Malik Dia is scheduled to visit next month.

Personally,  I'd guess Dia is the one we are best positioned with.

Mark Miller believes MU is now focused on Chase Ross, a combo guard from Texas playing at Cushing Academy is Boston. He's supposed to be taking an official to MU this fall.

Mr Jones skills could be complementary to Bryce Lindsay, who is primarily an outside shooter . I get that kids may not look at it that way

[Herman Cain]

Not sure if this has already been reported. Bryce Lindsay with 3 official visits planned

None are to us, so why do we care again?

Malik Dia looks similar to and moves like Joel Embiid did in HS. He's not as aggressive as Joel and plays mostly below the rim, but I'd love to watch him develop at MU.

Maybe moves similar but their games are very different. Dia does most of his offensive work outside the paint. Embiid was very much an around the bucket player.

I'm not going to be all doom and gloom because rankings are dynamic and we haven't seen Shaka's vision yet but the fact that only two top 100 recruits are still considering us at this point is disconcerting after what we've been used to. That being said if Shaka wants to go Buzz style with no namers and makes magic I won't judge

Who was the guy who's AJ Casey's teammate? Pretty sure they visited together. By the looks of your list we're not recruiting him anymore or didn't make one of his cuts?

Dear Disconcerting. I'm with you.

Your thoughts on Shaka's decisions on the three scholarships? Fill them all, leave 1-2 open for transfers, etc.?
