MU offers Maymon

[WhereisGeraldPosey]

Isn't it widely speculated that Maymom has serious academic issues?  I had heard some chatter from Madison Memorial that if the State tournmanent was a couple of weeks later that he would be out due to academics.  I have heard this several times from various sources.  FWIW

Why can't we offer someone who justs says YEAH - Marquette - thanks I'm in!

[nyg]

Daniel, thats why Buzz was hired, right?  Offer and get the "Yes sir, I am coming to MU"  Now we wait.

And that's why recruits aren't jumping here, but are at IU.

As much as they may say, "It's Crean," the real reason is "It's Indiana. It's Indiana."

In other words, Buzz has his work cut out for him despite Wade, Diener, Novak, and three prominent seniors on his team.

Especially since Buzz wasn't responsible for Wade, Diener, Novak, James, Matthews or McNeal.

[nyg]

Thats right three prominent seniors, who all will be gone in 2009.  So he needs three prominent high school seniors, all of whom will contribute immediately and see significant playing time. Have one in Eric Williams, so lets see if the flat out recruiter Buzz can close the deal on Lacy, Wilson or Maymon. 

[4everwarriors]

funny how that's the same translation you've given for all the bigger recruits we're focusing on for 2009...

That's right. These so called bigger recruits can do better than to trust their basketball futures with an unproven head coach. They're getting sniffs from established programs with a track record.
As for Maymon, his game is just what we need, his father, nobody needs.

Erik Williams, four star recruit #44 in the nation

You bet.  Gave Buzz credit on that two threads before.  Now its the hometown kids.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

And a tractor.

I'll keep my eyes out for any of of Maymon clan rolling around in Madison on a new tractor.

Of course, that could also be my man 4never heading to a Village People concert too.

[Daniel]

I hope with all the recruiting expertise we have on staff now that we are working recruits like crazy and lining them up. . . we need to see some action!  I know Buzz plays the cards close, but I am starving for some great news. . .

As a spectator or a performer?

Everybody now,

Next time you're in Madison, check out Ziggy. He's the guy having a box lunch at the Y.

[Avenue Commons]

The dad sounds like a pain in the ass. If that was my kid I would never talk about his options and who is or isn't offering what. It's a family decision and it should stay that way. Trying to get glory off of your 16 year old kid is weird.

[jce]

If his father really expects him to start right away then Maymon wont be coming here in 09. Personally i think his father is having an inflated ego right now on the basis of so many new schools looking to recruit his son in the last couple of weeks.

BTW, heard today from someone who would know, that UW at this point has no desire to offer Maymon both because of his dad and because they dont think he will qualify academically.

Makes a lot of sense, their first '09 commit was Mike Bruesewitz, a guy who plays Maymon's position.

[Dienerfor3]

If he isn't willing to come off of the bench his freshman year, he most likely doesn't belong with a solid team like Marquette, Tennessee, ISU, or USC.  Maybe he just has a father making every decision for him and demanding him to receive the spotlight right away.

[MU NY]

This kid sounds like a nightmare prospect..."run the offense" through him.  Gimme a break.  There is no I in TEAM...This kid's dad better wake up or he'll be sitting there wondering why a program can't recurit other players to play on a team with his boy...the kid they are "running the offense through" is going to have a hard time winning games without four other players to play with...especially in the Big East Mr. Maymon.

At this point I'm sure there is no desire since they don't have a scholarship opening to offer.

[ErickJD08]

I am on the "screw this guy" boat.  Tell me one successful program with a run-an-offense-through-a-freshmen.  The only team I have seen was K State and they weren't that successful.  I want a team that can develop into greatness.  I will not support a program that sells itself as a stage for 18 year old would-be-pros. 

[THEGYMBAR]

Of course you do not run an offense through a freshman. But, to say screw a potential high recruit because his dad talked crazy is a bit extreme. Lets look at the kid for what the kid is, not his dad. If we were UNC or Kansas we could make decisions based on dad's.

We need to stay focused on the task at hand. How is bashing a kid or family online helping the recruiting process?
