You're welcome.  I'll do an update here soon.

[jsglow]

Didn't think it would be this soon.  Welcome to Marquette Brendan.

For whatever it's worth, with the Bailey commitment Marquette now sits at 22nd in the 2016 team rankings from 247 updated today.
Obviously very early on, and many schools have only 1 commitment so far, but others of note:

20. Xavier
25. Villanova
27. Butler
66. St. John's
71. Seton Hall
79. Providence
83. Georgetown
111. Creighton

Jordan Poole would be a great pickup. I would sit on his doorstep day and night
recruiting him. Is a Big East Type player. How can we let this happen? Word also
has Kobe King maybe thinking about other schools instead of Wisco because of the Badger
coaching situation. I think Ryan is sticking around because he wants Greg Gard as
the new head coach and Alvarez is not so sure.

[Earl Tatum]

Stevens and/or Coffey  with Poole would look very good in MU unis.

[oldwarrior81]

Didn't Stevens commit to Penn State over a month ago?
And Coffey to Minnesota?

Yes

But would you show up at midnight in a stretch limo?

I'm assuming though that this will eventually be updated to reflect Bailey joining us in 2018?  I understand you may not have the answer to my question, but I would assume that Bailey eventually filters out for these rankings..

Earl.  I update the chart on p. 1 regularly.

I've read that he remains classified with his HS class regardless of his college start date for ranking purposes.

[Earl Tatum]

Sorry, missed the commits.

[wadesworld]

Sorry, missed the commits.

I still think DIAMOND STONE would be a great get for MU.  We CANNOT MISS THIS ONE!

Him and JP TOKOTO are guys we CAN'T LET LEAVE THIS STATE!

Let this happen?

You do know that kids sometimes use college as a way to experience things other than their hometowns, right?

I mean, how did Miami and Florida "let" Haanif Cheatham get away to Marquette?

Believe you are correct.

Earl continues to be my favorite poster here.  And it really isn't even close.

A lot of guards are going to be looking at Marquette's roster and think "I'm not going to get a lot of playing time there right off the bat."

If that's the case, then it was pretty silly of him to commit when he did.

[wadesworld]

Yes.  That isn't the case.

[Freeport Warrior]

Poole is very, very close with Duane Wilson's dad, Ike. He has been his AAU coach for many years. He also coached HE and Sandy. All of the MU connections are there for Poole. If Poole ends up going to Michigan, it's probably more about perceived playing time/other recruits than program fit. Poole has been around our program for some time. It is weird to watch these kids as 6th/7th graders grow into D1 prospects. I always thought Poole was good, but not high D1 good. Good for him and MKE.

[MuMark]

I think Poole just wants to get away from home for college.

At least that is what I have heard.

These kids are just trying to make good decisions.  Look, 3 years ago Luke decided to head down to Indiana and play for Tommy.  For reasons that aren't important, he changed his mind and is likely to be named team captain at Marquette. 

Frankly it's been no different for my kids who very easily could have worn SLU and Butler colors.  They didn't and it's nice that we get to cheer for the same hoops team.  Still, chick and I are miffed that chick jr. will be getting FREE BEER at the game.  Damn kids.

For purposes of one of Scoop's most enduring narratives those reasons are very important. And highly entertaining, I might add. Those reasons have made Scoop the fabulous forum it has blossomed into.
