Recruiting as of 4/6

[21rooster]

Sam has, which is why I put that as a very low probability.  I wasn't even going to put it in there, but I wanted to cover every single possibility based on BD's post. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Agreed with rooster. We have official visits set up. That means Wojo has a way to open a scholly.

Coaches always have a way. Simply don't renew a guy's scholarship. It sounds harsh but these are only one year deals. If Wojo wants Gill, Carter, or Young, it will happen.

The only reason this crazy notion has come up is BD's post.  His post leaves four options:
1.  BD has bad info
2.  Sandy is moving on (since he's the only ? for BD), and likely to a small school where a late transfer announcement isn't a big deal
3.  Hauser is not coming (seems very unlikely, but he's not mentioned in BD's post)
4.  Something unorthodox with Wally

Option 2 seems most likely if BD has good info, but otherwise something odd is coming (unless we're hosting officials without a spot available).

BD's post did not mention any of the incoming signees (Hauser, Howard and Reinhardt).  I assume they will all still be coming next year.

[Dawson Rental]

Hasn't Sam signed his NLI?

He has, just like Nick Noskowiak.                 


Sam, of course, isn't going down that road, and even if he does, he certainly won't be grabbing the steering wheel away from the driver.

There's one thing that you and Wojo have in common.

It seems that you have missed the Duane going to Europe to play professionally rumor.

[THRILLHO]

1.   Wally not there, was with Cross country team, but plans to be part of team next year.

Guys, I've figured it out -- BD was ambiguous about what team WE plans to be part of. Clearly he means USA Olympic track and field team.

He has, just like Nick Noskowiak.

Well, aren't you just full of piss and vinegar today.

Did anyone think that perhaps BD isn't the oracle that people claim he is?

He comes here with information, and I appreciate that, but instead of doing mental gymnastics to figure out how everything his says is 100% truth, maybe the simple answer is that he got bad information.

How did Heisenberg hack Sultan's account?

[21rooster]

Absolutely, Sultan.  I put down four options, noting that one was very unlikely (Hauser).  Translation: BD may have bad info.  Otherwise, it is very likely something involving Sandy or Wally.  If BD is right, the realist in me says Sandy.  The unrealistic optimist in me says Wally (in a scenario where he is still on the team), as I really like all the guys on this team.

Stan Johnson just landed in NYC, I presume for the opening of the recruiting period. What's there this week, EYBL? Anyone know our targets that might be playing there?

Looks like Theo John running with Howard Pulley. They have a squad with Tre Jones and Gary Trent Jr. as well.

Is Stan covering the whole country?  He really seems to all over the place (or at least more public) than the other assistants

When I read it last night, I seriously thought his post had something about Hauser, Howard and reinhardt being fine. Did I live in an alternative reality for a short period of time?

[NotAnAlum]

Look, if they really want to make room for Young, it will just involve a frank discussion with one of the players where they tell him "look, you're a great player. But next year I don't see you getting off the bench. And I"m not sure you'll ever get off the bench here at Marquette. If you want to work at it and prove me wrong, do it. But if playing time is your priority, transferring might be your best option."

Boys and Girls this is the way it works.  And anyone on the team might be "at the basketball dinner" and "might expect to be back with the team as of yesterday" and then come 5/1 after these other recruits come in they get "invited" to the Coach's office for a little discussion.  Wojo knows what he is trying to fix for next year and he has in his mind who will get the "talk" if recruit A or recruit B says yes.  And I can say with certainty he is not going to tell Big Daddy or even his own wife who is going to have to go.  Its far too confidential.  You can also bet that these recruits will be told when they are offered (if they are offered) that the offer has a 48 hour expiration.  "Either tell me now or there won't be room."  That way the player who is the focus of the discussion will have reasonable time to transfer themselves.  Call it what you want (Buzz cut, Bo cut, Wojo cut) they all do it.  That is the way it is in big time college athletics.

Not to go all Sean Miller on you, Goooo, but Jimmy Mac just tweeted that he saw Elvis in Cali, so...

Is that you, Lazar?

[brandx]

Really if I were Wally and the Ellenson family and the suggestion was made that big brother pay for his tuition, I would flip out.  Unless this was a predetermined move OR a move initiated by the Ellensons, and I really, really doubt it was, the entire idea would be insulting.

[brandx]

Kalif & his coach are on record saying they could definitely wait until May to pick a school

Is that like "maybe for sure?

[wadesworld]

Is that you, Lazar?

Winner!

[brewcity77]

Not really sure what the confusion is -- sounds like one person on the current team won't be here next year. Wojo is recruiting multiple bigs for that one spot considering you don't always land every single person you recruit. Just because he is talking to/recruiting 3 people or so doesn't mean there are 3 open spots. We aren't Kentucky when it comes to recruiting.

Just look at it for a mathematical perspective. Both Young and Gill were originally scheduled to be here the same weekend. You don't bring two guys in at the same time for one spot. Or if you do, you are creating a very, very awkward situation.
