If that's the case you gotta feel pretty good about our chances considering he's making the decision relatively soon after his MU visit...

Does he have to check with coach Hurley first?

[ATWizJr]

I am cautiously optimistic.  Jeronne, come on down!

[Wareagle]

Per rivals, it's Tuesday, the 27th.

I like the timing of this and have a good feeling.  Been some threads about his academics, his father, etc., and I really don't care because its obvious the kid has talent and is highly ranked.  With all the other BE schools recently getting commitments, this hopefully will benefit the program.  Then its three scholarships left, two for 2009 and the leftover 2008.  Lets see if Buzz can close the deal with Maymon.

HELP US LORD

[ATWizJr]

Did Maymon have any other visits or is he planning any between now and announcement day?

Where's that rim-shot button when you need it?

[SGWarrior]

Wow!  Great news!

Two top 75 players for '09 so far isn't too shabby.

Not to be the turd in the punch bowl here, but didn't Keno Davis just offered him a ride at Providence.  I know his father was looking for the offense to run through his son, and it seems more likely that could happen at Providence.  I hope I am wrong and he heard everything he need to hear from Buzz and is ready to sign up for MU.

That's what I was thinking too.  If MU was his only visit to date and he isn't planning any more visits.....

Sounds like Buzz and company did a hell of a job talking this kid and his father through the process.

Maybe, but does it make sense he would commit to Providence sight unseen a week after visiting MU and having his dad say he had a "great" meeting with the Marquette staff?
Who knows what'll happen, but the timing at least looks good for Marquette. Either Buzz and Co. wowed the kid or they scared him into the arms of another program.

Anyhow, from the Wisconsin State Journal:

Prep basketball: Memorial's Maymon to announce college choice Tuesday
By ROB HERNANDEZ

Madison Memorial junior Jeronne Maymon, the Associated Press' state boys basketball player of the year, will announce his college decision Tuesday at 8 a.m. at Genesis Enterprise Center in Madison.

Maymon's father, Tim, said his son will choose from nine schools that have offered the 6-foot-5 forward a scholarship. Those schools are: Baylor, Iowa State, Marquette, Tennessee, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Green Bay, USC, Temple and Providence.

For more on this story, check back here late or pick up Friday's edition of the Wisconsin State Journal.

Well, he just took an unofficial to DePaul when he was in Chicago for an AAU tournament a couple weeks ago, and supposedly he was going to visit Wake Forest when he goes down to NC to play in the Bob Gibbon's TOC this weeked.  

[ATWizJr]

yes, PC did offer. From the list of interested schools, I cannot imagine MU being edged out by anyone with the exception of USC or Tennessee.

[MuMark]

Looks like MU, Baylor and Iowa State are the main contenders along with possibly USC.

[lab_warrior]

I really like our chances with him right now, I really don't think given the choice between PC and us, he'd go with PC; his teammates will be alot better at Marquette. 
Now, with McNeal coming back, and if we can get Maymon, then work on Lacy and Wilson...the optimism meter would be off the charts!

[Henry Sugar]

This is win-win for Marquette.

If he picks Marquette, then we get a fast-rising and uber-talented player.

If he picks Iowa State, Baylor, or some random school, then he won't be in conference anyways.  Plus, there won't be any questions or concerns about his dad's involvement or grades.

Marquette doesn't lose either way.  Giddyup!

[MU06CU10]

I agree Henry. And to add to that win-win, if he doesn't come here, we get to stop wasting time and resources into his recruitment. I hope he picks Marquette, but as they say, the second best answer is No.

Just a reminder, for consolidated recruiting info, the wiki *is* your source.

I just went to add this info to the page, but was already beat to it MU Chi_IL.

There's always a link to the "Recruiting Info" page in the top left of your screen (in the Resources box).  However, here's a direct link...

I don't see how not getting Maymon is a winning situation...I'm hopeful that the meeting went great and he wants to announce that he is coming to MU, but as usual I am quite skeptical.

[THEGYMBAR]

Jamil---You gotta believe. One down and two to go in WI.

Sorry to nitpick (I know, I know ... then why do it?) but shouldn't Joe Fulce be listed as a SF/PF on that page, rather than SG? Or am I wrong about him?

Otherwise, the page(s) looks fantastic.
