Whoo-hoo!

Love this pickup.  Very well rounded player.

Does Symir stay 2020 or move to 2019?

No mention of 2019 as of yet.

Congrats to the entire staff but especially Coach Killings for his first big win on the recruiting front.

Junior four-star guard Symir Torrence verbally committed to Steve Wojciechowski, Marquette on Sunday, he tells 247Sports.

“Once I did my official visit, I just fell in love with the whole community and just the whole place,” Torrence said. “Just the way everybody treats everybody. It’s just a thing, where everybody loves getting together. I loved bonding with the players, I can’t wait to get to know them more once I get to Marquette.”

“That was one of the reasons and another would be because of the coaching staff. Coach Wojo really gave me the idea that he’s going to push me and wants me to be the best that I can be and wants me to reach my dreams someday.”

Torrence took an official visit to Marquette’s campus on Oct. 29. Torrence also took visits to his other two finalists – Butler and Cincinnati. Torrence said he knew going into the visit that Marquette could be the place for him.

“Just the bond that I have with the assistant coach [Dwayne Killings],” he said when pressed about the visit. “Coming into the visit, I just knew and me and my mom talked about it and we knew that it was going to be something special.”

“They just said I was something special and really wanted to work with me,” he added.

Torrence, a 6-foot-3 guard out of Saxtons River (Vt.) Vermont Academy, also cited Steve Wojcieshowski’s history as a point guard in his reasoning to commit to Marquette.

“The fact that he just came from a good program, he knows a lot,” Torrence said. “He knows the game very well. He was also a point guard, so just learning from a head coach that’s a point guard was a big factor in wanting to go to Marquette.”

“I’m a point guard, I’m a pass first point guard and that’s another reason why I wanted to go to Marquette, because I can do those things,” he said. “Coach Wojo even said he can make me into a better point guard, and that’s what I love.”

Torrence is currently ranked as the No. 51 overall prosect and the No. 5 combination guard in the 247Sports Composite Rankings

2020?  Dude looks like he’s 24.  In any event, I really don’t care how old he is, but he looks like a leader with some great floor sense.  He looks ready right now

Great pickup. McEwen, Elliott, Torrence and Akanno for 2020 backcourt.

Now have to shore up front court, no Sam, Morrow, Sacar and Theo will be senior.  Lots of offers out there with playing time.  Need to continue with BE success this year to maybe get some of the highly ranked recruits.

Love it. Wojo is building something special here. Getting high caliber recruits that buy in. It can only get better the more success we have on the court.

Sounds like Wojo is giving him some time to decide if wants to be a 2019 or 2020.

Reading between the lines he might be thinking 2019 if Markus leaves or 2020 if he stays......either way glad to have him.

“He has incredible basketball IQ and pair that with his gifted motor, and you have one of the best defensive players in all of high school basketball,” Popp said. “On the offensive end, Symir gives you a shot maker, a playmaker, and an overall scorer. He is stellar with advancing the basketball in transition, he is phenomenal in the pick-and-roll, and he is even effective in the low post. Above all, he is a guy that other players want to play with. Talented players and coaches are attracted to his personality, disposition and ability to make everyone around him better.”

Well, I'm sold.

I think it’s moreso Wojo saying look man we’ll take you next season, but minutes are most likely going to be very hard to come by and you need to be on board for that.
