Just my perception, but I also don't think Wilson comes to MU. I do think he is a program maker, but goes out of state. Reminds me as a player like Caron Butler.

you forget to mention that Caron Butler left Racine Park to go to an academy out East before leaving hs, Wilson has stayed in state.

I have a question for those who laugh at the sentiment of what I write (which wasn't literal as of course Buzz will pursue Wilson but it's setting up as a tough sell other then the local school):

Do you truly believe that a high school kid, no matter how mature or worldly, will look at Marquette bringing in 2 players the year before him and 1 player the same year as him and say "well, yeah, they seem to be similar skill sets but that's no worry I'll still be able to play"?

We just witnessed a guard turn down a guard school because he didn't want to play behind 3 Senior guards for one season, never mind the other 3/4 of his career.

Why wouldn't the same thought process be applied to Wilson and the other players at his positions?

look at any good program, and they will have players like Wilson

if this was the case, how do the same teams get the top recruit classes year in and year out?

Well, it seems most people feel Wilson is an instant impact recruit that would step right in at Marquette alongside Hayward and Mbakwe. If Buzz banks the scholarship maybe that gives MU the leg up in being able to wait the 11 months until Wilson is to decide. Clearly it shouldn't be an issue concerning who is already on roster.

At least we got talking about something other then TC. Well, if only for a little bit.  :-\

If he is as good as it seems, does anyone think he'll be more of a "Beasly-type" who will find a smaller school that he will completely stand out at? I fear that the problem with recruiting a game-changer is that you are looking at a one-year commitment.
Thoughts?

Oh yeah, and Crean, 'cause I love that it does it :)

I thought Wislon was an Undersized Power Forward, not a wing man. Why woudl all the wings that were brougth in affect how a 4 thinks abotu school. Plus he has bluntly stated he prefers to stay close to home wto be near hsi dad, that is why MArquette adn WIsconsin were so Hig. It had little to do with who the coaches were even though that helps. That is what I read when they announced that his annoucnement woudl be made MArch 9th of 09.

Wilson is 3/4 who could eventually play the 1 and 2 as well.
But I like to throw handfuls...

it appears I have been misinformed, but according to Scout he is the #2 PF in the country. I always thougth he seemed a little short to play the 4 unless he was the second coming of Charles Barkley. I wouldn't hold your breath on this one.

Not to picky bma... you are a wealth of knowledge, but isn't March 8,2009 the date of his mom's birthday?  Or is it truly the date of his mom's death?  Either way I had read that as well as the date he will announce his school.  Hopefully Tan Creaming won't be screaming like a little school-girl that day.

Not to be misunderstood, I think Wilson's skill set and overall game is similar to Caron Butler's.

You're correct.  He picked his mom's birthday to honor her because she passed away.  Tried posting while on a conference call at work and got mixed up.

Good point.

Wilson WILL come if MU IS a HOT program AND if he sees that there are others around him who CAN REALLY play, especially at PG and C.
