You think the typical fan's perception of Marquette, led by first-year coach Steve Wojciechowski, is the same as that of UNC and Duke?

A ha, now who's missed the point.

You still, since you seem to be taking my comment as an affront to MU.
Like it or not, fans at places like Kentucky do not see MU as a serious threat when it comes to recruiting McDonald's AAs away from them.
So when MU does become a finalist for a player like Ellenson, those fans are likely to believe there's a reason beyond MU's outstanding facilities and academic reputation. And when they learn his older brother happens to have recently transferred to MU, it seems like that's one reason they might seize upon.
Which, if you read some of the Kentucky message boards, is exactly what happened. They said Ellenson's interest in MU was a result of him wanting to play with his brother. Which, by the way, is true.

Would love to hear that Markus and Joey verbally commit.

Tyler Herro will be in attendance Saturday.

At the Creighton game recruits were as follows:

Theo John
Nobal Days
Owen Hamilton a seven footer

JJJJ thought you were unfairly grouping Marquette and Central Arkansas as lesser teams than UK and MSU. I think he just wanted to see a clear delineation between MU and Central Arkansas, which was not provided. But you came back and said that's not what you were doing, only pointing out that MSU and UK fans would think that about any other school where a recruit's brother attended. Then I challenged that assertion by inserting Duke and UNC rather than Marquette and Central Arkansas and you validated my point that the school itself would make a difference in whether fans of the other schools (UK and MSU) took their recruitment of that player seriously, not merely whether his brother went there. At the end of the day, you were grouping MU and Central Arkansas together as lesser teams than MSU and UK (not incorrect), which JJJJJ took umbrage with given the vastness of the group (MU and a girls high school team would be in the same group).

Marquette will host 2018 Whitnall guard Tyler Herro on Saturday; he visited DePaul and Wisconsin last weekend. All three have offered

Note: I changed the title of my original post to include Tyler.

My prediction is that Joey WILL sign--it's the same history as the Plumlee's at Duke. The Ellensons have proven this and so will the Hausers. And an added bonus for MU--Henry as Mr. Basketball 2015 (shared) and Sam as Mr. Basketball 2016 (IMO).
