Okay, so for those of us who don't have the time (or patience) to read through 17 pages, does anyone have a quick rundown of recruits that we're actively in on right now (HS and/or JUCO)?  I tried playing around on ESPN's recruiting site but we all know how unreliable they are...

Markus Howard - 4-star PG - We want him bad. Many are pegging us as the front-runner. Deciding in April

Kalif Young - PF from Canada - not ranked but getting lots of high major interest. Could really use him when Henry leaves. Waiting until April/May to decide

Bruno Fernando - Top 100 PF from Montverde Academy - Deciding soon. FSU considered the front runner and MU is a little late to the party

Jordan Bowden - Combo guard from TN - not highly ranked. Our recruitment of him and other guards has caused some to speculate that someone other than Henry is leaving.

Darius Hicks - PF on the same team as Bowden - a 3-star on ESPN but getting a lot of looks from high majors. Notice the PF trend. Henry likely gone and staff knows it.

These are mainly the most recent names to have come up. I'm sure there are others.


Dream world: we get Howard and Fernando
My opinion: we only get Howard
Wouldn't be surprised if: we get none

These are all for 2016 (Howard likely to reclassify). There are others for 2017 and beyond I'm sure

Even if Henry stays for another year, there's still a void in bigs on the roster. Does anyone want to see junior-year Heldt and a couple frosh manning the post in '17-18?

I believe junior MH will be much better than Frosh MH. The thought of Junior MH manning the post doesn't scare me. Depends on who we get as freshmen and transfers as well.

Was so confused reading that thinking you were talking about Markus Howard :)

The predominance of posts seem to focus on getting/replacing "bigs."

It strikes this fan that the real need is guards - as in, lots of them. MU can have all the Henry and Fischer types in the world, but without talented guards the Warriors will remain at the bottom of the Big East.

An example of the importance of good guard play can be seen from Villanova, or more recently, Creighton.

Carter, Cheatham, Rowsey, and JJJ can do that for us.  Hopefully we also land Howard.

While it couldn't hurt, I am not sure how much that matters.  He is selling building the program and how a player will fit into that.
I think it helps on the margin. Makes it one less leap of faith for a recruit and family to make.

Unranked? Horrors! We don't want him then.

Gotta be ranked. Ranked players always turn out to be studs!

FYI Ice.  I regularly update the very first post.  Go back to p.1 and the chart is basically current.   :)

Tradition of point guards at Baylor???  Granted I don't follow them that closely, but I've never considered them to be known for PGs.  I've always associated them with long 6-9 guys that can run the floor.

My exact thought.

Henry is gone. But this isn't really the indicator. We need PFs regardless of what Hank decides wth his life

I guarantee when a recruit goes to one of our games it is a very impressive experience. NBA arena with College Hoo Ha.

How no one else has brought up that Markus Howard looks just like Bruno Mars is beyond me.  Big Bruno fan, and an even bigger Markus fan.  I definitely like our odds here, and Indiana getting scratched is a pretty big deal IMO, as they were my #1 worry (shoe-in Yogi replacement).  Stan Johnson has been paying some serious dividends thus far.  On the Ellenson side of things, I was told from my managing buddy the expectation within is he's gone and Wojo is 100% supportive of him bouncing, hence our PF searching.  All that said, the door is still open and he may want to make a run next year.

In other words, I know just as much as you guys and that's not very much.  From Day 1, in my opinion, he has had the ability to leave for the NBA whenever he wanted, that was never the issue - whether or not we feel he's "NBA ready" he would be taken in a heartbeat very early on because of his potential.  The fact he's averaged a double-double while showing flashes of great outside shooting (Butler) and guard-like ball handling is all they need to see.  It's always been when HE wants to leave.  And in that regard it's kinda pointless to sit here and debate on whether he will go or not because I'm sure even he isn't totally sure what he's gonna do.  I've always been under the optimistic impression he would be here for 2: Wally, great relationship with Wojo, close-knit young team who will only be that much more dangerous next season.  But I also didn't expect him to average 16 and 10 while winning BE Freshman of the Week like 7 times.  My current guess is he's gone but I am holding out hope, because I was told he's conscious of making the tourney and doing something special here.  He's an incredible talent and let's hope we can win a few more big games while we've got him.
