Recruiting as of 4/6

[MUfan12]

If Kostas goes prep and improves, I'd hope MU gets involved. But at this point, they can't afford to take a guy who is at least two years from being able to play at a high-major.

[4everwarriors]

Wit those schools interested, he ain't goin' to no prep school, ai na?

Not for basketball reasons.

[4everwarriors]

Stone qualified, doe, hey?

[Herman Cain]

there sure are quite a few big name programs looking at him.  he may have potential written all over him for a number of reasons.  does he not fit what wojo is looking for or too much of a project, or ...??   i know this has been discussed somewhat here, but seeing these other schools looking at him and if he turns out to be pretty good, that would suck knowing he was right in our backyard. 

kinda like the girl ya dumped in high school turns out to be a pmoy living la vida loca in da mansion-ein'a?

We should be all over this kid. A huge mistake not to offer him.  Your PMOY analogy is exactly correct.

Why?  Have you seen him play?

[Herman Cain]

Yes , He has tremendous potential.

[GGGG]

He has potential.  But I would think if it was "tremendous" that he would have been a better player in high school.

If he wasn't Giannis' brother, no one would be clamoring to gamble on him.

This.....boom or bust guys get coaches fired. For every guy like Kostas who becomes a great player there are hundreds that never amount to anything.

Interesting, if true. Sounds like a solid player but doesn't help on the glass where we need it.

[WarriorPride68]

Least shocking news of the day...Kavell Bigby-Williams (top JUCO big man who Stan Johnson visited with recently) officially committed to Oregon, the long time favorites.

[Herman Cain]

The fact is he is the brother of Giannis and his other brother was drafted by the Knicks. I don't think it is much of a gamble at all.

I know the kid looks like a string bean today , but that will change with time. I think we are making a big mistake letting this prospect get away.

There is another brother coming up next. I believe a freshman in HS next fall

Lets sign them all up. You can't teach height and length.

That's why Mbao ended up being such a stud for us

So you want Marquette to offer him because his brother likes him?

I want Marquette to offer him because he has huge upside, as his coach points out. 

Here is another point of view

Did you read what you posted?  This quote hardly says "huge upside."  Basically says people are paying attention to him because of his brother.

Kostas Antetokounmpo: His jumper has excessive arc but is fluid and should be above average for a player of his height. Antetokounmpo doesn't have the extreme length of Giannis and is also not quite as athletic. Antetokounmpo is unmistakably getting extra attention due to his brother and also how players with his length and skill-set are so coveted with where the league is going in positionless basketball, but the skill level remains raw. Kostas is a better shooter than Giannis but he's not even close in any other consequential way at this point.

Yes I read it. I prefaced it saying here is another point of view.

I cannot remember, but did Mbao ever see the floor for us?  I know McMorrow did not.

[g0lden3agle]

He did. Buzz enjoyed putting him at the top of a 3/4 court 1-3-1 zone press

[GooooMarquette]

Played a total of 60 minutes in 10 games.  Had 1 point, 7 rebounds, 5 blocks.
