Recruiting as of 4/15/25

[wadesworld]

Can I be outraged now?

[Tyler COLEk]

Not until the clock strikes midnight.

[willie warrior]

So Dodds promised a commitment before the 4th of July and now that may not happen?  I'm shocked.

Where the hell does Dodds get this stuff from?

[4everwarriors]

Oh, he's connected, hey?

[MuMark]

Can I be outraged now?

Sure......and then when the player commits in a week or 2 we can all be happy again.......

Because as we all know......recruiting information is always spot on and things never get postponed for 1 reason or another.

I have heard the same information from people not associated with Dodds.......i don't know the player but have a pretty good  guess.

All good things come to those who wait........or something like that.

[bananahammock]

Based on Brew's recent post, seemed like Ward was the expected commitment. Obv, things changed.

[onepost]

I feel awful that I'm connected to Dodds on any info that proves to be wrong (and Dodds is NOT who I spoke to FYI, never been on his board).

I was definitely given July 4th as a timeline: maybe that was confidence in a Ward OV commitment, that Stevens would pull the trigger, or that James would commit around the time Trilly Donovan predicted him to MU.

He still feels very confident on all three, albeit we're all annoyed with Ward's new December schedule. But recruiting rumors are as tentative as it gets, probably best for me to leave it to the experts haha.

People just need to find the timelines that our recruits put out. and not listent to people on a dodds board or in scoop.

James said "after eybl"
Stevens - i am cutting the list soon, so maybe august
Ward was always gonna be late. His recruitment was the "latest" to start. And he is only on his first round of Officials.

How dare you bring logic into this. Definitely excited (and curious to your guess!)

[WhiteTrash]

Face it, we have finished behind St. Thomas for 10 straight years in the Big East; nobody wants to come to MU.

This doesn't sound right

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Even though no commitment came by July 4, I appreciate Onepost sharing the info.  Onepost is well connected and I hope he continues to share the occasional tidbit.

Dodds was only linked by me because Dodds was saying the same thing as Onepost.

I believe all of these timelines were announced after the initial July 4 rumors.  Like MuMark said, things often change in recruiting.

Agreed!  When onepost posts here, I take note of what he is saying

[4everwarriors]

Actually I think your posts are earth shattering, aina?

This sums it up well.

As onepost notes, there seems to be a lot of confidence surrounding a few players. James, Ward, and Stevens have all been hot topics, but I wasn't given names to connect to those timelines.

Honestly, that's why when the "before July 4" news came from multiple sources (including Dodds) followed by Batemon giving a July 1 date, I even thought it might be him even though ISU had long been perceived the leader.

Trilly describes Marquette as Fort Knox when it comes to getting info out, so honestly even the best sources can have trouble pegging anything dead on (like the July timeline).

Wrong.

James Said post EYBL in May.
Stevens set his timeline after his nova visit, but before the post you are refferencing.
Ward's timeline has never really needed to be set because it was pretty clear he was just starting to really pick up the recruiting.

This is why you listen to what the recruits (and their parents) say/do themselves.

Nigel James in May.

Adrien Stevens in late June (though i am pretty sure he said it first in a rivals article i can no longer find)
https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/college-basketball-adrien-stevens-marquette-villanova-tennessee--233297275/

And Cam Ward clearly just started his recruitment
Marquette was his first OV. Had UVA unoffical right after. Had Notre Dame, a school recruiting him longer, on the books for september, and now will visit FSU in October.

(i still feel very very good about one of these guys, and decently good about the other two)

Plenty of recruits committed ahead of their timeline or delayed their timeline. There are many valuable sources beyond a recruit's public comments.

1. I had forgotten about this clip from James.  Thanks for the reminder.  But per Dodds, James wasn't the rumored pre-July 4 news anyway.

2.  The Stevens 247 article is dated June 27.  Onepost posted his stuff two days prior on June 25.  I never saw the Rivals article, which is why I thought Onepost's info preceded new info about Stevens.

3. As for Ward, some recruitments are really short.  Josh Clark was recruited for about a week or two before committing.  So, no, Ward's timeline was not clear.

I had no idea if Ward would make a quick commitment or take his time until the interview article came out.

NCAA recruiting calendar for July specifying the 3 evaluation periods in July.

https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/compliance/recruiting/calendar/2023-24/2023-24D1Rec_MBBRecruitingCalendar.pdf

I'm only going to reference 2025 recruiting in this post.

I'd expect with the next period starting July 11th, Shaka will be in suburban Atlanta watching Ian Militec and Adrien Stevens at the Under Armour event as it starts on July 11th, two days before Nike EYBL and PIT.  The second weekend for UnderArmour is being held at the Wintrust facility on the southwest side of Chicago.

https://underarmournext.com/basketball/boys-schedule/

Nigel James and Nyk Lewis in the Peach Jam and Cam Ward in the PIT.  The EYBL is in North Augusta, SC and the PIT in Augusta, GA.

https://nikeeyb.com/schedule-peachjam

Coaches are also allowed to watch the NCAA Basketball Academy games the last week of July in Rock Hill, SC with Cam Ward the main Marquette recruiting option playing.

https://thecbbacademy.com/documents/...cademy_81_.pdf

Adidas is in Rock Hill, SC and Naz Meyer is playing in that event.  I don't have a link to that event.
