Three star, not ranked by Rivals.  Does have some credible offers, maybe just another rising recruit.

Credible offers? You punking us?

Nah..... Better having schools from big time programs offering than ones like Siena, Hofstra, Loyola, etc.    Guy must have some potential for those offers, but another thin guy.

On side note, hope majority of MU team comes back next year but MU could use a backup to Oso.  Ezewiro from Georgetown, at 6ft 9, 255 would be a perfect backup.  He had 7 points and 9 rebounds today in like playing a half.  A big body guy, but may be too slow for Shaka's defense.  Maybe after Ewing gets canned, he would enter portal again (came from LSU).  Who knows, jus a thought after watching him last few games.

I never said such I thing in my two posts about that. Credible means those are good schools to offer and those schools see his potential. Must have missed the usual sarcasm.

Ok whatever

Some 'Cuse fans on their board are feeling MU............... so it will be VT.

On Marquette Hoops, True Golden Eagles said Owens was "blown away on his last visit."

I'm pretty sure MU was the last visit.

Is Owens one of Shaka's top 3 targets?

Is the material within the link old?

Marquette: "They're going pretty good. I am visiting soon on the 18th. I love Shaka. It's pretty exciting so I am looking forward to watching them."

Why would he visit the 18th if he is choosing VT or Cuse on the 15th?

He visited January 18th. Said he met D wade, which lines up with the "final four night" timeline.

Ahhh that makes sense.

If he commits on Wednesday than yes. If not, Shaka cooled on him.

[Shooter McGavin]

It will be interesting to see if he commits.  Shaka is definitely not worried about the stars next to these recruits names.  Based on the results so far the fans shouldn't be either.  If Shaka wants him we should too.  He must be a fast/late riser.  I suspect when the new rankings come out he will be more than a two star.

Personally, I look at which schools we are competing with for a kid. 

Owens has on his list:

Syracuse
Virginia Tech
Creighton
Cincinnati
Alabama
Iona (Rick knowz ball)

That's a pretty nice list.

Owens is ranked 112 by 247 (and 149 in 247 composite).

On3 has him ranked 145.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Owens would be a solid replacement for the OMax role. I think it would take us out of Isaiah Abraham hunt, but you gotta take the bird in hand.

Donnie Freeman would be the real coup, but I'm not holding my breathe guven his long list of suitors. Dortch or Parham would also round out a nice two man class.

Agreed, that is a pretty good indication of the talent a kid has.

Thanks JAM.

Yes. It's amazing how differently I think about recruiting under this regime than the last. With the last regime, it was always "maybe if we get this 4 or 5 star guy we can save the program" - with Shaka if he's happy with them buying into his system I'm happy with them - doesn't matter how many stars they have behind their name.
