Not sure how important this is, but he went to a Jesuit high school and selected a Jesuit college.  Marquette seems like the perfect next step in his career.

Plus, his freakin' initials are JC!

Seriously, this is good stuff. It's really hard to imagine a much more perfect fit for him, especially if making the NCAAs in his one remaining season is paramount.

Assuming Wojo and Katin are still on great terms - and I have no reason to think they wouldn't be - wouldn't it be nice if Katin gets in contact with JC to tell him how wonderful it was to spend his grad-transfer season as a key player in Marquette's run to the NCAAs?

I am actually pretty optimistic here.  We can show him an exact role and how wonderfully his skills fit within that role.  I am sure that Wojo has had some real good conversations with Markus and Greg to talk about what he brings to the table and what their roles would be.  I'm sure they would be excellent hosts.

Let's just hope he like ice cream even though the weather looks like crap next week.

I agree, if I were wojo I would also mention Damien Lee.

I would also agree that Louisville is great and has great facilities but MU has some top notch facilities as well for training. And oh, JC if you're a fan of facilities and basketball how do you feel about playing in a BRAND NEW NBA facility and running into NBA players on a regular basis?

I think our track record with grad transfers speaks for itself.  We can literally show the tape of Katin against Nova, and, assuming it's allowed by the NCAA, have Katin speak with JC directly about the extraordinary experience he had in his one year here.  We also have kids who I know are welcoming and all about 'team'.  I believe Howard will gladly move to the #2 and absolutely excel if Chartouny is our point.

I am very optimistic about JC and have been since he first came available. Think we will seal the deal on campus

Yep, your mention of him got my attention. Then I looked up his stats and said, "Let's get this guy." Then I saw the highlights and said, "Now."

The Louisville counter pitch should be simple: "Two years ago Damion Lee picked UL under a cloud of scandal over Marquette so he could get to the NCAA tournament. They self imposed a postseason ban and he never played in the tournament. Now they are being investigated by the FBI. So do you want to play in the NCAA tournament at Marquette or watch it on TV in Louisville?"

With respect to Loserville, I'm all for negative recruiting.

Looks like JC or bust at this point. Come on Wojo, land the plane

This is a dangerous slope...should have more irons in the fire...what if they don't land JC?? Absolutely NEED a grad transfer point this year and it would be kind of hard to make up ground for the others out there. Wojo must be pretty confident they will land him..hope he's right

Or JC just didn't want to come to Marquette?

There is still time man. But I do agree, ending up empty handed would be stupid. It probably makes sense to start working on some back up plans to Chartouney.

That's what i mean, nothing in recruiting is a given..and Wojo has to know how big the need is, he really can't afford to go empty handed, to me, he should have a plan B and C as well right now. Then again, with as quiet as this staff is on the recruiting front, he very well could have and we just haven't heard about it.
