Are we in on either of those 2?

To answer your question, we're reportedly recruiting both.  No idea how high up on any pecking order.  It would seem that Markus is priority #1 and that a replacement big is priority #2.

And let's definitely say this about the Markus visit.  Marquette was the only school far from home that he visited where he didn't have a secondary motive (either visiting his brother or hanging with his HS friend.)  Now I'm not suggesting he did anything inappropriate and something on each campus could have caused him to reconsider but I still very much like our chances.  Has he said anything about an announcement date?  I was thinking April.

Awhile ago he said April. I'd assume that's still true

First of all he his to make the decision to reclassify. I think he will, but that decision is not final. Until he does that he is not going to pick a school.

Certainly.  Is there some kind of paperwork involved?  Said another way, does there need to be a gap period?  And one other thing.  I'm assuming he's down to 1 official visit for his lifetime.  This has me really believing that he's heading to college after this year.

This article says Bruno Fernando wants to make his decision soon. It also lists us as one of the front runners for him. I'm honestly surprised because I don't think he has planned a visit to us and I can't imagine he would consider us without visiting first.

Stan is the man. Great hire. Nothing official yet, but for what it is worth I believe. Oh and if I am wrong," He" whose name is not to be spoken is welcome to rip me. 

I know this year did not go as well as some thought, including me, but Wojo is building a program. The progress is very apparent. To me I look for three keys:

1) eye for talent and ability to get these players
2) ability to develop said talent
3) Game coaching

1 is clearly something Steve can do.  Getthing HC out of Florida is a steal.
2- clearly is showing progress-- JJJ, is a big one.  It will be key to see what happens between this year and next with SC3, SA, DW, TC, etc.
3- This is where the most growth needs to occur (IMHO).  Young staff and they are learing too and they are learning. 

Grade so far "B".

Buzz did not have the luxury to build a program, no real credibility/history, he had to win to prove he deserved the opportunity, hence JUCO route and he did well.  Wojo has the time and is building a new tradition, he is doing what his mentor taught him. 


Dang I think I broke my own rule and got off topic but I wanted to share some of these thoughts.

Graduate transfer PF definitely on the radar.  No one specific, just the concept.  I know the Bisping's from Peoria well, they are not sure what they want to do after this season.  Brett is a great kid, from a great family.  There will be options, if HE leaves. I expect he will and should, especially if he is a lottery choice.

Wonderful. Thank you, as always.

Haani was overlooked due to the deserved Hank hype but couldn't agree more with your words that getting him out of Florida was an absolute theft job by the staff. Speaking of theft, Traci needs time to blood but for an April pickup to be top five in the conference in assists and steals is remarkable.

The talent upgrade from the previous season is undoubtedly present. That's the sign you need to see from a new coach to have any positive hopes for it turning around. MU is a couple of bad rookie choke jobs from being 10-8 in conference. For a second year coach with what he inherited that 10-8 would make even the most ardent cynic crack half a smile.

Beat me to it Al. 

BD, any gut instinct about either Bruno or Kalif?  Or do you think Wojo will try to go 'older'?  If you have no opinion that's cool too.

He says he wants to stay, but has already looked at alternatives.

He averaged a Double-Double this year, 16 & 10 and says he likes to model his game after Bill Laimbeer.  We could use some dirty.  I hate seeing these mid-majors lose great players that they've developed but if it means JJJ & Luke can Dance, I will look the other way.

Vegas has it 100% correct.  Ever been up to Big Dogs near Santa Fe casino to watch the Packers?

My wife and I are Big Dogs Drafthouse "Packer Backer" members and watch the games there.  The only problem is for a 10am game you have to get there about 7:30am to insure getting a table!  We take the Sunday paper and our tablets/phones and actually the time goes pretty fast as we have a nice breakfast before kickoff.

Right.  But if he stays at Sienna he has to be eligible both semesters, which means it made perfect sense for him to "save" two classes for his senior year.  (They don't have graduate programs.)

The fact that he has looked into taking summer classes, and with BD saying "they are not sure what they will do," means that that POSSIBILITY of a graduate transfer has been looked into.

Now the chances of him transferring, the chances of MU being interested, and the chances of him ending up here make this a long-shot.  But what the hell.  We are actively discussing Marquette winning the BET.  Might as well discuss this too.

If we land Bruno & Howard, I will have ZERO concerns about the future of the program.  Recruiting always trumps coaching in college. And Wojo's coaching will get better.

Wojo will have justified his contract extension if he lands these two.

I agree, just think it's worth noting. It's a little bit different than your normal grad transfer, assuming he would finish this summer at Sienna and then transfer.

Would be pretty remarkable if Wojo got both of these guys.

I don't really know much at all(ok I know nothing) but I'd still be shocked if we ended up with Fernando.

Very confident on Howard though.


Just love that he keeps making legit runs at guys and when he misses he still finds others.

If Marquette offered Darrell Bowie out of Northern Ill., I would assume they'd be interested in in Bisping.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

I switched my crystal ball to Marquette. Was feeling all gloomy. Had a few conversations; received a text... And all of a sudden...


I may have to switch back to Baylor soon

Hodge switched but seems to think Baylor still has a chance. I like MU's chances

Hodge did switch back to Baylor FWIW
