Yo. Respek. Ain't nobody takin' the rock from T. Carter til he grauates.

I think posters underrate the year of experience Carter has gained this year. An incoming freshmen point guard would have to be really good to beat Carter out.

Exactly my point.

All I could think when I read Mrs. Howard's comments was, "Damn, Wojo/Stan and staff did an excellent job of educating on Marquette."  Good sellers.  When you see comments reiterated from recuirts parents about how much Marquette invests in their program its something that has been driven home.

Are there any updates on 6-8 235 Cincinnati Xavier Seton Hall bruiser types. We  really need to be like Michigan State and start stock piling those kind of guys. Especially in the post Ellenson environment.

But that's 3 years away, correct?

I'm not underrating anything.  I am saying that anointing an inconsistent freshman as our starter no matter what can backfire.  There is nothing wrong with trying to upgrade that position.  It is obvious that MU needs another PG anyway.

BTW, neglect of that position is what got Marquette into trouble the last two years.

Could be nothing, but FSU - thought to be a leader for 6'9 Bruno Fernando - just got a commitment from a 6-8 PF not named Bruno Fernando.

Hope we can get that guy on campus before he decides.

+1. TC is certainly improving but also has a long way to go. He is not given anything. If someone else comes in and raises the standard of the position it's good for MU, good for us as fans, and eventually good for TC.

Can you post or point me in the direction of her comments? I missed that. Thank you.

Agreed. You gotta think Wojo is trying to get Fernando and Wyatt in a holding pattern for the time being just so he can gain ground.

Interesting.  Thanks for the update.

Wyatt?  Who?

Wyatt?  Who?

I mixed up my Kalif's. I meant to say Kalif Young.

Florida State landed 2016 forward Mfiondu Kabengele of Don Bosco (IN), his coach announced.

Corey Evans ‏@coreyevans_10  24m24 minutes ago
Mfiondu Kabengele took a visit to FSU last month. Face up, play making forward with giant length. Fits Hamiltons playing style on defense

Agreed.

Also, I'd just like to point out a few things about Carter:

Strengths: Assists (#38 nationally) and steals (#45 nationally)
Weaknesses: Efficiency (ORtg of 93 - below average), turnovers (TORate of 29%)

I like the guy, but a TORate of 29% for a PG is criminal (in Manitowac).

Maybe but I'd rather have that then the Derrick Wilson school of not creating turnovers, which was don't make a pass longer than 5 feet.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Traci is 100% better than Derrick!  Love his game.  He will play more like a leader each year.

[WarriorPride68]

Alabama way out in front for Bruno per premium article last week

[WarriorPride68]

Oklahoma offered Theo John

Is it possible Wojo's interest would be in keeping Markus in the 2017 class?  Does anyone know if Markus has made up his mind and decided that he definitely wants to reclass to 2016?

I highly doubt he'd be doing his Official visits if he were staying '17.

I wonder if part of the turnover rate has to do with playing with other young players. Season players understand how to help out their point guard and the point guard can generally rely on them being where they are supposed to be. Nobody knows what a young player is going to do. For example a point guard at Villanova can rely on his teammates being where they are supposed to be, because they have been playing together for 3 or 4 years. Young players tend to do things that are not expected. Carter will be more experienced next year and the players around him will be more experience, which could result in a significant decline in turnovers..

Stop insulting Traci by saying he is only 100% better than Derrick.
