Recruiting as of 11/15/25

[jfp61]

Hopefully Nigel and Adrien aren't any of the departures.

They are fine freshmen, but can i see either of them play a little defense before they "must stay".

How about we just worry about getting good players.

Stevens has looked like our best defender in the backcourt. Chase has been lazy defensively, Zaide has been hit or miss, Sean hasn't played, Nigel has looked like a Freshman.

[MU82]

Plenty of silliness and wild conjecture going on.

[MuggsyB]

I'm inclined to play Nigel and Adrien as many mins as possible starting Saturday.  If Zaide is okay I think we should try 4 guards more often with Ben or RP.  I'd also give Clark more of a look.  I don't think we get a whole lot playing 2 bigs.

Thats cope.

Stevens has the second worst Adj defensive team efficency on the entire team, with neutral to negative defensive box score impact.

Nigel james looks lost and was targeted constently live againist wisconsin.

Chase is still clearly the best defender if he ever looks lazy it has more to do with the fact that he is the "entire team".

Agree on Nigel and Chase. Hard disagree on Stevens. Stats don't tell that story and it's a ten game sample.

Maybe we'll be lucky and all the guards will transfer so our defense can be great next season.

Great.  Our bigs can't defend at all.  I'm actually totally lost as to the defensive strategy yesterday.

The bigs can transfer too. Going to the portal for a dozen new players is proven to deliver titles.

It's a Catch-22 for sure.

Still happens!

Show me some examples, including the particulars?

Hello! Sean Jones being stolen away from MU after last season, for one.

[PointWarrior]

I am sure we will get 3 things - RGV...

In a perfect world we would get a legit big man who can start, a backup PG for Nigel and an actual 3 point shooter.

One can dream.

There are countless cases of players being offered money before they are in the portal in both football and basketball. Just do your research.

I've also been told by more than one person that Kam Jones had offers to leave Marquette before last season too. It happens...even to our own.

Buzzy Boy admitted to recruiting players off his roster to Maryland before he accepted the job.

It happens every year. It happens with players all over the place. Coaches have mentioned it every season about some of their guys. That's the nature of the business in this era. It's going to happen.

Plenty of silliness and wild conjecture going on.

I think all the players should both transfer and not transfer at the same time. Just to be safe

Buzz Williams admitting to recruiting players illegally isn't an example?

Ok. Here's Dusty May's account.

Show me the enforcement actions? Is there no due process? A coach whining is your proof?

People "hinting" something is going on is your proof? lol foh

There is absolutely no possible way that you are that dense to think that tampering isn't happening.

They aren't hinting at anything. They are telling you their players are being courted while seasons are going on.

I won't stoop to the level of name calling quite like you, but I refuse to believe you're that dense.

Maybe we can get Joey Hauser back if we all write nice letters to him.

Scoop has gone down hill!

Gotcha. So, lacking of examples. Great!

*Lacking examples that are good enough for Jay Bee*

The examples are there for you to sort through. Whether you choose to believe college coaches are telling the truth or lying for no reason. That is for you to decide.
