Well...I think it's more a courtesy than anything else...BUT given the way things are right now, if he really doesn't feel truly comfortable with any of the other schools because he can't visit, etc, going back to Bowling Green might not be a bad option in his mind. It's somewhere he knows and somewhere he is comfortable.

I'm going to be honest, I would be LESS perplexed and upset if he somehow ended up going back to Bowling Green then I would be if he chose Missouri or Iowa St. I don't think Iowa st is much of a factor in this, but Marquette has everything he could possibly want..closest to home of the finalists, players from Detroit(one of which he knows well as he played against him in HS), he can be the guy here, and with him a very legit chance of making the tourney next year(much better chance than Iowa St or Mizzou IMO), and as an added bonus hs former teammate and friend goes to MU dental school now. C'mon Justin, make the right decision!

If this guy comes on board, fine. But an eligible-immediately DJ Carton is the prize! Carton is the difference maker.

Don't disagree but I think you're underestimating how good Turner is...Not too mention they can still get Carton as well.

This is horrible, truly horrible.  Wether it be HS, AAu, college, or the NBA Diener  was a PG.  Dont recall him ever playing off the ball.  This is just a really bad take to say he played off the ball or as a 2.  Did u actually ever see him play?

season tix bro. The point to all this...true point guard. Tony Miller, Junior, DJames...true/played nothing but the 1. Not a guy that played 1, played 2. Diener played a lot of 1. Played some 2.  I'd have to ask if you watched him, attended his games...at any level?

...hope so. A lot of folks are high on Turner, but after missing on RJ Davis, Carton is like a second chance at a top level 1.

From an Iowa State insider...

I'm now completely clueless on Turner. Just heard from somebody that it'll be Marquette. All of the national guys seem to think Missouri.

I will be surprised if it's Iowa State ... Not shutting the door completley but just keeping it real too.

I do think ISU is probably the leader for DeJulius.

Fingers crossed

Time to get bunker cleaned up and ready

Doc should know!  Wojo got the tents set up, white catering trucks running in his driveway, They setting up the bouncy castle out back

Only because it's the first thing we have seen or heard in awhile on Carton...Steve Prohm unfollowed him on twitter.

So your definition of "true" point guard is different than anyone else's.  That they *never* played off the ball.  Which is a strange definition because that makes them less versitile.  I would rather have Diener on the floor than Junior.  Not even a question.  In the last two decades of Marquette basketball, Travis Diener is the best PG we have had by a long shot.  Not even close.

But that doesn't meet your definition of a "true" point guard?  Well...OK then.

Let me echo guru that I really do appreciate these updates.  Kudos to you putting in the work.

I posted Chris Williams previous update and you said "take with grain of salt" now that he hears new positive for MU intel now its legit?

Wasn't it reported that Carton got off of Twitter after he announced he was transferring?  Maybe Prohm just got bored with Carton's Twitter account and is too cool to let his following count creep up with people who don't even use Twitter.

[WarriorPride68]

starting to get excited about Justin Turner being on the squad. Michigan has been kind to Marquette! DeJulius can join the Michigan party too

I'm sure I am following a bunch of people who don't use Twitter much, if at all, any longer.  I have no desire to figure out who those people are and go through the effort of unfollowing them.

*straps on tinfoil twitter followers hat*
DJ's mom follows around 85 or so people and has un-followed 10-20 people in 3/4 weeks since DJ announced transfer. Yet she still follows Greg Gard & Wisconsin Basketball twitter accounts, fwiw

Gard's hilarious on Twitter.

Junior wouldn't have made that team better. Junior is remembered fondly because of what was around him, not because of what he himself could do.

Junior was, like Koby, a below average point guard. The two were similar in terms of effectiveness. Junior was a little better finishing in the lane but didn't get to or convert at the line as well. Junior had a slightly better assist rate but couldn't shoot the three nearly as well. Both turned it over about the same, both were low-efficiency guys, both had comparable usage. Koby was a much better defender and rebounder.

Considering that what this team needed was additional scoring options, they likely would have been even worse with Junior, who was never much for scoring the basketball.

Junior was OK his final year, but beyond that, was not very good.

Thanks Pakuni, and everyone else for their thanks. I know sometimes, with all the twitter and IG follows etc, it might be overkill and a lot of people don't care about those things, but I find it fascinating, and you really can gleen info in recruiting from it. I will continue to post anything relevant I see from the world of CBB.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Yeah, there would certainly be a question. Cadougan was pretty good, but no savior by any stretch. 

The other reason it wouldn't be close to a given is clueless pacing the sidelines.

No revisionist history here.  Junior was a step down from some of his MU PG predecessors.  But he did handle the ball well and facilitate offense well. Areas i would give koby a 1 in a 1-10 scale.  Our offense needed ball movement this year.
