Marqptm---Exactly, so we can get them. Everybody wants to make excuses on why we won't get them. I say lets put excuses away and get them.

Kids get offered scholarships all the time before you know whether or not they will qualify or not. Offers are made when they are Sophmores and juniors and sometimes earlier.

The point is you can't just focus on 2 or 3 in state kids when they might not even qualify. You offer them, recruit them, keep your eye on them but at the end of the day if they don't make it academically none of that matters.

Coaches have to decide how long they want to wait before pulling the trigger on someone else.

No excuses just facts. State players are nice but they don't always want to stay home and if thats the case their is nothing Buzz will be able to do about it.

Think Jerry Smith, Caron Butler, Joe Wolf, and numerous others.

Here's a crazy thought: Marquette should recruit and sign the best kids it can, regardless of their zip codes.

AMEN

mviale---I agree with that. All I am saying is that this year we have three strong candidates to recruit locally. For the '09 recruiting season I think they should be top on the list. Obviously you have a long list of players. But, I think you recruit quality first and then go down your list.

MuMark--great list of names. I wish I had gotten all three of them. It sounds like to me Maymon just was offered scholarship recently. If so, I would hope Buzz and Co. haver done there homework on grades, character and family issues. Thus my point, no excuses. MU must want him and I see no reason why we do not get him. We need to hold the bar high.
