I will unload my portfolio and 1st edition Ulysses if we get Wemby.  Otherwise I'm staying put.

I remember Sam being on press row and thought he was going to end up being a Warrior. One of the highest, if not highest, ever MU recruit and it was damn close.

I just scanned the Badger Board ( "Buckyville") and I almost soiled myself. There seems to be a belief that Gard has secured 2 "silent commits" ( their words) from 2 players in the transfer portal. Which immediately took me back a few years to when the Hauser boys were contemplating their futures. And Buckyville was all abuzz at the time because they believed Gard had obtained "silent verbals" for both to come to Madison.

Now, I don't follow recruiting as much as others do. Can someone tell me what's stronger, a "silent verbal" or a "silent commit"? Or is this a B10 thing?

Is a silent commit better or worse than a DoneDeal?

Yea, the badger silent commitment appears again :).  Another ETR mechanism to try to instill faith into Gard.  Or then claim shenanigans happened when they don’t materialize.

Maybe the silent commits passed Gard a note in study hall.

Who’s the MU booster that’s going to pay these unnamed transfers from verbalizing their silent commitment to UW this time?

I would not predict any particular player entering the portal, but I would think that a contributing player that is entering his junior season without having started a single game and wasn’t likely to be a starter in his third year (and potentially even in his fourth due to others’ “COVID years”) would have a lot to think about. And would have a lot of people in his ear.

This is what concerns me.

I would be concerned about him, also.

Some personal trainer had videos working Joplin and a high school freshman out in Marquette’s practice gym yesterday.

I was pretty close with Scott Christopherson our freshman year and I remember when he decided he was transferring he’d call me to go shoot around at the Rec Center.

Obviously Jop could decide he wants to transfer at any time, but having 3 players enter the portal and exit interviews happening this past week I feel like they wouldn’t be giving someone outside the program access to train him in the Al if there was some thought he’d be leaving.

Jop got plenty of minutes and was Big East Sixth Man of The Year. Still has room to grow and should be even more of a menace to rivals next season.

Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

So based on the speculation, we will build a team around Stevie and Sean Jones.

Hope Shaka is active in the portal.

I think you're reading into it too much.  Why would anyone on the team still be waiting to put their name into the portal?

Three of our players put theirs in earlier this week within 24 hours of each other.

Oso and Omax haven't drawn enough NBA interest yet for them to declare.  Sure they may go through the motions, but I'm not sure either of them are ready.
The question is whether they test the NBA waters. If they do, it puts Shaka in a hard place. He can wait to see if they decide to stay in the draft or he can go after really good transfers to try to replace them. I suspect, if they enter the NBA draft , they will also enter the portal just in case their scholarship goes to another player.

Nijel Pack got a 2 year deal at $400k per year and now hes in a Final Four.

Imagine being in College having school paid for and a signed $800k contract.

We don't have to imagine it. It's happening. And it's great that the athletes who make college basketball possible finally are getting slices of the multi-billion-dollar pie.

I was moreso saying put yourself in that position as a 20 year old in college with $800k and think of what that would've been like for you, but sure.

One of my favorite Marquette fits is Josiah Allick.

He's an undersized center at 6'8" but he played the 4 for New Mexico because they had a larger center.

About 240 lbs, but averaged around 8 points and just over 7 rebounds a game.  He's a wider body but is super athletic.  Would be a solid rebounding option in the front court but also has that athleticism to work in the Big East.

Not sure Marquette will even contact him because it'd be an "out there" addition, but he'd be great as a backup center and maybe would be open to it as it would be a step up in level of play for him.

If the only outward movement we have from a top 10 team is a non-starter, I will be very happy, even if it’s Joplin. Don’t want him to go but better him than someone like Kam or Oso
