[Matt Velazquez] Kalif Young to visit Marquette this week

[4everwarriors]

Not feelin' it wit this kid, ai na?

[We R Final Four]

Agree--Dad talks a lot bout Providence.

Canada is a big country. As far as a road trip goes for the parents to attend a game, which school is closer?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

There are no signs in the tea leaves. Just respect the process and wait for him to complete his visit to Providence and make a decision.

He's from Toronto.  Short plane trip either way.

[Tugg Speedman]

Air Canada and United fly direct Toronto to Milwaukee.

No one flies direct to Providence.  Can fly to Boston and then it is a 60 to 90 minute drive.

Kalif needs to think about what is best for his parents!

United flies direct, Toronto to Milwaukee?

Does ORD mean Milwaukee/Southport?

I don't think so...!

Kid's Canadian - he'd take Air Canada anyhow....

I'm hoping that Air Canada is Kalif's nickname throughout his Marquette career.

Was Cadougan was actually from Toronto? I know he played in United States, but if memory serves me right his mother wanted him out of Toronto, because it was not safe. I could be confusing him with someone else.

I agree with this analysis.

[Windyplayer]

I agree with this analysis.

WHAT IF...he came off the bench as the sixth man thereby allowing us to call him "The 6."

Nice!

Oh snap! If we sign Kalif does that mean Drake will post another Instagram pic? Dang I'm surprised Kalif hasn't signed already knowing that drake supports MU!

Bad Weather in College Park today. Also a murderer on the loose.  Keeping the faith.

Outstanding.  C'mon down, Kalif.

[jsglow]

What's not to like?  One of the top funded programs in the country.  No doubt they rolled out the Al Blue/Gold Carpet.  I'll bet they had his locker ready.  AND he'll play in a brand spankin' new NBA show palace as an upperclassman.  Not bad for a kid everyone overlooked.

That said, sure hope Big Ben returns.  For one thing, he makes the conference better next year.  And on the other hand he'd block Kalif's PT for a full season.  "Son, your job tonight is to keep Ben under 20.  Do that and we'll win.'

This is hilarious and awful at the same time. Bravo.

"6-foot-9 Kalif Young next visits Providence May 14/15.  Will decide after that."

Cadougan was from Toronto in a rough part. I believe his brother was murdered when he was younger. He went to high school in Texas, but I don't know if he was in Texas for all four years.

Not murdered - his 4 year old brother was shot on their front porch and Junior left town shortly thereafter... but not to Texas, to the Atlanta area.

Spent three years at school in Texas.

Last I heard his brother (shot 4 times, IRRC) made a good recovery and was doing well.

I still remember when Mark Miller pulled some strings & got Cadougan HS team to play in his annual HS tourney

Glad to be wrong on that. Thanks for the info.
