Tough but beatable competition. Gotta believe Florida state is one of the frontrunners.

Was told yesterday NC State visited him 2 weeks ago & will offer next time they see him. He started following Gottfried today.

FSU definitely hard to beat if they offer. Jon Issac is doing all he can :)

In an ideal world we sign:

Bruno Fernando or Khalif Young

and

Howard reclassifies to join MU's 2016 class. 

If my counts are correct, that would fill our class and if for some reason Wally decided to forgo his senior season to focus on High Jump, we would have a third spot for a grad transfer.

2016 is Wally's last year of eligibility for outdoor track.  Because he only had to sit out in basketball last year, he has already had three seasons (two at Minny and one at Marquette).  He does still have two years of eligibility for indoor track, because he's only done indoor in 2014 for Minny and 2015 for Marquette. 

Don't see any reason why he would quit hoops to concentrate on high jump - it will be two years to the next worlds and four years to the next olympics in 2017.  He's always expressed his love for bball first, with high jump just being something he "happens to be good at."

But yes, if Henry is feeling generous, maybe he will pay Wally's way and free up a scholly for a new PF.
I mean, OK, maybe he's secretly a serial killer who's pulled the wool over our eyes with his good deeds and smooth jumper - Pakuni (on Markus Howard)

Maybe Wojo can adopt him.

How would that conversation go?

W: "I sure wish I was playing more. Maybe after you go pro, I finally will get some court time."

H: "Umm ... yeah ... I wanted to talk to you about that. I told Wojo to take you off aid and I'll pay for your senior year. That way he can use the scholarship on somebody to plant your arse even more firmly on the bench."

2018 F @LanX_Sims said Marquette offered him last night. Interest from Kentucky, Wake and others. Kid looks like a pro.

6'8" PF at Simi craptu of Montverde Academy, via Burlington Ontario.

Ha ... his last name is S-h-i-t-t-u, but it's being auto-corrected to craptu. That's awesome.

I had to put Simi in IMMEDIATELY.  Hilarious that his last name gets auto-corrected!  Where's the dang override button!

That's a big fish Wojo is going after. Him and his teammate would be amazing gets. Let's open that Florida pipeline

Top 5 player in country. He will be a blue blood. Doesn't hurt to offer though. Great player

7 of the top 10 recruits in 2015 didn't go to blue bloods. We are in early craptu. Long way from #donedeal but it's not a foregone conclusion that a blue bloods will get him

The upside is Wojo can show him a freshman power forward averaging 16/10 and say "this is how we'll use you." If Henry goes top-10, all the better.

Does Bailey arrive on campus in '17 or '18?  Land a few of these kids and MU is looking bueno.

We can agree to disagree. Top 5 players coached by Kevin Boyle won't be coming to Marquette. If he didn't want to play for the best of the best he would have stayed in Canada instead of playing for Montreverde

And "we are in early" is eliminated since Baylor, Illinois, Oregon, ect all offered couple months ago & will be playing with CIA Bounce for 2 more spring circuits. Kentucky has been to 4 games already of his as a sophmore.

Your right, that should do it :) I can't fault the optimism though

Kalif Young said he might sign late, in May. Hoping to collect as many offers as possible.

Got to love Wojo recruiting efforts, Bruno wouldn't be a bad backup option at all

Not at all saying we'll get him, nor am I optimistic, but under Buzz, every year we would be one of the first in with all these blue chip prospects only to see them go elsewhere. Not all went to Kentucky or Duke, either.

Buzz never had that All American that he could use as that example. Wojo has an advantage in that regard. When it comes to visits, being able to pull out video and say "this NBA lottery pick could be you if you picked Marquette" certainly won't hurt our chances.

We waited what, about 30 years between All Americans? I'm completely confident it won't take Wojo 30 years to land another.

I completely agree it won't take another 30 years to land another all American.

Wasn't Frank the NPOY & top 10 pick (#9) at Becky? Not sure any kids care about that at Montreverde.

If anything, having Bruno on the team could help. Not because a guy like Henry played 3 years before him

-- and to clarify we are only talking Simi craptu. Seems like the convo is turning into other top recruits. Which isn't what I was saying at all. I was talking about craptu soley

Looks like Stan saw Bailey last night (40 pts) and is in Nevada now. Hopefully sealing up Markus!
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

I think the best thing for Wojo recruiting is to get us into tourney this year. Really enhances his sales pitch and ability to close the deal.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Bailey was a beast last night. 40 points and 11 rebounds on 11/14 2PFG, 3/6 3PFG, and 9/10 FTs.
