[Matt Velazquez] Power forward Ikechukwu Eke commits to Marquette's 2017 recruiting class

Talked to one of the coaches yesterday, stated Ike is very raw, will take sometime.  The question I asked him was is it better to have a one and done vs. someone
who will be at MU for 4 years.  His answer was interesting but right, it is better to get a one and done player when the other players are more experienced.  Last
years team did not have it, to bad Henry is not back next year, oh well.  Also, excited about the other kids they are recruiting, looks like a good year for MU, of course, to
early to tell.

Makes sense.  Totally convinced that MU continues to recruit size for '17 and that other targets won't consider Ike as a 'block' on their potential at MU.  But I'm still thrilled he wants to be part of our program.

Speaking of that size... Isiah Kelly on campus today. 3 star scout. 4 star 247. Already has Wisky offer as well as some other big names.

Hope for the best be prepared for the worst. Time ever will tell how he fits in. I will the cheering for him. Would be great if he becomes a Crowder type. Driven, driven, driven.

If Eke turns out to be the Big East player of the year and a consensus All-American, that would be absolutely amazing. I'd be quite happy if he becomes a strong front court contributor along the lines of Oluoma Nnamaka, Terry Sanders or Scott Merritt.
