Darrlyn Willis - Juco PF 2016

[jsglow]

Usually a two year Juco hasn't qualified academically.  Which means he would need to get his associate degree to qualify to play D1 ball next year.  And then the question is what does his transcript look like and how will Marquette transfer the credits.

While this is all true doesn't his D1 offers from Jackson and Kent State suggest that he did qualify but chose the Juco route a la Jimmy Butler and Joe Fulce?  Does someone here know his original qualifying status?

Just because he had offers doesn't mean he qualified.  A bunch of players get offers because their qualification isn't assured until their senior year.  Dwight Buycks even verbally committed to Bradley before his academic qualification was fully known.

Sultan, you are correct that not all Jucos are a like.  My number one argument against JUCOs remains, it screws up the classes.  You have people here for 2 or 3 years, not 4 or 5 years.  Want to do that from time to time, that's fine.  38% of your roster, no thanks.  Too much turnover.

But yes, not all Jucos are the same nor did I ever claim that was the case.

Transfers and guys leaving early screws you also. JUCO's can plug holes. nothing wrong with that at all.

Perhaps we could trust Wojo's judgment and assume this is a high-caliber young man who would pass the test from an academic and character standpoint????

Would that be so crazy?

Did anyone say anything different?

I trust Wojo.    I trusted Buzz.   I trusted Crean

[PGsHeroes32]

This would be a nice consolation prize to land

IMO, MM is as close to a done deal as possible. Very accurate.

This is good.

This is good.

Six months ago I'd have agreed with that. Now I just take it as one positive sign, but not at all a lock.

[Skatastrophy]

Respect the process.

It's a fact, not an opinion.

It's a good sign but Miller changes his picks all the time. He had Coffey and Stevens coming here for awhile

[Boone]

Right, Brew. Not a lock at all. After all, Miller did predict Stevens to MU...only to switch to PSU.

Jerry Meyer just predicted the same.

[MattyWarrior]

No such thing,its a process, live with it.

[MuMark]

Meyer usually copies Mark when it comes to Wisconsin kids.

My guess is Mark has pretty good sources on Willis(former Madison Memorial player).

[HoopsterBC]

More importantly, can this guy play?  Has Mark seen him play since HIgh School?  Or for that matter anybody else?

[MuMark]

Wojo thinks he can play......so does Greg Marshall...and Bobby Hurley.

@scottsommer_: Bobby Hurley + 1 (Arizona State), Iowa State, Mississippi State, Wichita State and Texas State were at Pearl River today.

[hdog1017]

Any relation to Kevin Willis of the Atlanta Hawks back in the day?

Wait...aren't you Mark?

[MuMark]

Clearly I am Mark.....just not Mark Miller.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Wish he was 6'9".

Wish he I was 6'9".
