Recruiting as of 5/15/25

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Per Twitter there is a Kalif Young piece of info in this:

http://alabama.247sports.com/Article/VIP-Notes-Updates-on-hoops-targets-transfers--45040782

Nothing new. Says he plans to reschedule his visit to Bama. Mentions that he cancelled his Marquette visit.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

They can cut a player if they want, or is Bentl counted in the 13, or Junior Lombamba?  Or for that matter, Kris Dunn?

They are currently at -1 scholarships. This doesn't include Dunn or Lomomba. It does include Bentil. If Bentil comes back, they will need to cut a player to make room for Diallo.

I would say they are likely going to move on from Mr. Young if Bentil comes back. If Bentil goes pro and Young is still around, they might revisit him.

Have you guys ever had the French fries and gravy in Canada? If I was kalif I wouldn't leave either.

But seriously, whatever is going on with him, hopefully he gets everything figured out for his sake.

Poutine!

Not to ironically drag this thread off-topic, but congrats to all of MUScoop for reaching a 50-page thread!
Most replies, most pages, and third-most views.

Impressive that this thread has avoided becoming either outdated, fatally off-topic, or mod-locked.
Treat yourselves tonight, Scoopers. You deserve it.

Now, back to recruiting...

Let's say for argument's sake that we lose out on both Gill and Young.
Chances of filling that schollie for 2016 go way down.

What does Wojo do in that instance? Bank it? Invite Wally back? Either option would be problematic.

The answer is like a nice fastball down the middle that we hit out of the park....Kostas

Do you mean this guy?

Kind of surprised his name hasn't been mentioned here before...
He appears to be related to current NBA player Giannis Antetokounmpo.

I hope someone has been in contact with the MU coaching staff so that they can be made aware of this guy. Also tell them that since his relative is a rich NBA player, he may be willing to pay the cost of tuition and room/board, thereby saving a scholarship. Just throwing that out there.

Two ways you could have played this one: totally over the top, or dry and understated. I think you made the right choice.

Strib article on 2017 target Theo John.  Has a Minnesota angle, but the quote about wanting a coach that will be there when he's there is telling.

Freeport, have you recovered from your trip to Mn?

Two kidney stone procedures since and I am finally feeling better. Two weeks of hell. Thx for asking.

Funny story today from 2018 recruits. Earlier in the week, an Instagram account that tracks the 2018 WI AAU players threw out a congrats to the WI United 16Us for being ranked #4 by IndiHoops. WI United is filled with some great players, but none of which are coveted by the state's "best" team WI Playground Warriors. After this Instagram is posted, Tyler Herro comments something like "that's what happens when you don't play anybody." Funny, cocky, whatever. As luck would have it, both teams win their pools at the Spiece in Fort Wayne and have to play each other last night. WI United with Carlos Curtis (Riverside), Tyrese Halliburton (Oshkosh North) and Deontae White (Mil Hamilton) sent Herro, McCabe and Co. packing last night, 76-69. Karma is a b!tch.

EDIT: WI United lost to Hauser's Barnstormers in the Patinum Div Final Four

Hauser visiting the Badgers in May

[MomofMUltiples]

Better to have him visit Marquette once Sam is there.

Hopefully while the weather is nice, wouldn't wanna spoil the ice cream truck closer. Sucks that it's the one variable Wojo can't control, but it's so crucial at the same time.

[HoopsterBC]

He will probably visit 15-25 times before he decides when Sam is there.  Like every game Sam is playing that he does not have a game or practice.  If he does not
come it will be a telling sign that MU might have problems.

Hey Mom,

I was just wondering, were you a MU fan prior to the MUltiples' decisions?

When the kid's from Wisconsin, I'm skeptical that weather during the visit is much of a factor.

Hey freeport,

I noticed that further on in your linked article, there's a story about Keshawn Justice from Madison.  Have you seen him?  Any thoughts?
