Shaka aiming high in the 2025 class

As he should.

Positive comments about Shaka and Marquette.  And everyone here will like that he is a true physical big man around the rim.  Will be interesting to see if we offer.

Lathan: "I really love their organization. I really feel like they breed good big men, well at least Coach Smart does."

I laughed out loud at that. Recognition that the Davante/Fischer/Heldt/Theo run wasn't exactly a wealth of high level professional big men, but our coach knows his way around the position even if our organization historically doesn't.

I'm digging his use of "organization" to describe not just Marquette but also LSU. It's not inaccurate ... just a word you don't hear often when recruits describe the schools on their lists.

Link = national champions.

If there is an open scholarship don't waste it and I mean that. Save it. There could be pressure on the coaches to give it to a walk on to make some folks feel good. Don't go there. Save it. Someone could fall into your lap come this fall.  Just sayin'.

What? Schollies are one year deals and not automatically renewable; very easy to give to a walk-on without concern. You need to use all of your scholarships in todays day and age. Just look at this year. We were oversigned by one and now we've got an 11-man roster.  There is almost always an opening for a recruit if you want one.

I presume he's using "organization" to refer to Shaka's NIL fund.

Unless he pronounces it "or-gan-eye-zay-shun." In which case, he's actually a hockey player, eh?

Sir Mohammed on his MU official right now.  No twitter pics of him wearing a Marquette uniform yet.  Hopefully soon.

We're eff'd once they plop a plate of that Sodexo slop in front of him

I can't imagine MU allows Sodexo product anywhere near its athletes; that is only for the normal students.

Can they just take him to Real Chili instead?

Have to, it's the only option!

247 update. Royce and Owens at 65 and 68.

Finally reflective of their play IMO.

(I'm high on Royce at the moment. He is still very young)

Love it.  Sir at 42, Abraham 75 and Lathan up to 95 as well.  All of Shaka's targets are moving up.

Was that who Shaka was talking about in his press conference yesterday?

Probably, but weve also had a number of 2025s taking unofficial visits this month too.

Guess he or Marquette should cancel his visit that's scheduled in a few weeks.

Once again impressive early scouting by Shaka and co. We're in good hands.

Courtesy visit.  Happens all the time.  Been told he committed to UW-Madison in March.  Wants to play with Freitag.  Also tight with the Hauser family

How nice of him to give us the courtesy.
