Another big guard who can create for others.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on May 07, 2025, 04:57:50 PMBen Steele said his trainer, Jerry Powell, also works with Nigel.  So I would assume there is some level of familiarity there. 

I've also seen references to both players playing in the New Heights youth program as younger players.

I love this pickup. Feels he's just beginning to scratch the surface of his talent.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Agreed.  Shaka got in early on a switchable with a lot of upside.

When EJ arrives, Chase will have graduated.   Wings will be Zaide, Damarius, Phillips, Miletic, Stevens, and EJ.  I hope at least one of them grows and fills out enough to give Parham a rest.

With 15 scholarship players, I'd expect about 9 for the 3 perimeter spots (3/5). Add Norman, James, and SJ to your list, and I believe MU is at 9. Egbuono looks like he could swing between the 3 and 4.

Hit the portal to recruit over this guy.   ::)   

To any fans or family members of EJ, that is sarcasm.   I am really excited he is coming to MU and am looking forward to watching him grow and develop.

Thanks for the link. Includes this quote from Ethan:

Shaka recruiting strategy......identify players......do research on player and family to see if values align........then kill them with kindness until they finally can't take it anymore.......

The moment Johnston knew it was Marquette is when Smart called him after a game during Session 1 in April.
"He called me immediately after, and he just expressed how much he appreciated me and stuff," Johnston said. "He called my dad, told him how much he appreciated him and my family. And you don't see that much support from a coach. It was unique for me to experience and I was just like, 'I can't mess this up. This is the best place for me.'"

Pretty much all successful coaches relentlessly pursue the recruits they want - "kill them with kindness," as you say.

So it's more than simply volume and frequency.

Shaka seems to just have a way to make recruits and their families feel like they will be special parts of the Marquette family.

And that's where the program's retention comes into play.

If you have coaches promoting culture and a family atmosphere but one is retaining their guys while the others are revolving doors that says something.

Of course part of the is identifying the players and families that truly value that.

Shaka explains it in the sportscenter interview.    Fans of the portal will be sad.
