[hegel23]

Rivals said he is coming.

Can anyone confirm?  ANyone in Madison hearing anything?

[ZiggysFryBoy]

confirmed.

[muarmy81]

Excellent...now grow 2 Inches and work on those grades!!! Nice job to Buzz and the staff on closing the deal last week...

[ATWizJr]

good get.  Congrats Buzz!

[TJ]

Sweet!  Nice job Buzz on your first commit for your first recruiting class.  Looking forward to Maymon on the court in a year and a half.

First non-Texas recruit for Buzz!  Good job!

Pretty amazing job by Buzz, he steps in and basically steals a top 100 recruit in 2 months.  He deserves a lot of credit for pulling this off.

I'm going to count Erik Williams and O'Tule as Buzz's recruits and this will be his 2nd 09' commit.

Great job BUZZ!!!!! One down and two to go.

Does this help with Jamil?

[TJ]

Great job BUZZ!!!!! One down and two to go.

don't we have 3 more scholarships available in '09, 5 total (assuming we don't fill the one available for '08)?

If one of "the two" is Wilson I think you can kiss that goodbye.  I'm positive that Maymon was pretty clear on playing time and more specifically, Jamil Wilson.  Considering they play the same position I think you can count Wilson out.

Excellent commitment.  Buzz was hired by MU for the specific purpose of getting these types of recruits and this is a great start.  Now finish the deal with the remaining slots for 2009. PG please.

right, because players NEVER change positions, and its much more important to have a 'position' guy out there than to have your best players.

right.

[THEGYMBAR]

Bring on Wilson and Lacy and you will have MU's best recruiting class in a long, long time. Wilson and Maymon are two different players. Wilson can play 2, 3 or 4.

Eso--Wilson and Maymon can play together ALL day long. Study the players and their strengths before you state your case. The two can be running mates with no problem.

Well, even though I am a little worried about the playing time issue, the grades and the father, I think it speaks very well for Buzz that he got a player that he wanted.

[Tugg Speedman]

If Wilson is not coming to MU becuase Maymon is going to share time with him, why is he considering MSU and Duke?  If he's afraid of Maymon, why does he think he can start on a team of former McDonald's AA at Duke/MSU?

Unless you tell me Wilson and Maymon don't get along, this is good news for getting Wilson (but doesn't mean he's coming).  It shows that good recruits are not afraid of Buzz/MU without Crean.  No longer can other schools say "with Crean gone MU will never get another decent recruit."  EW and Mymon put that to rest.

[downtown85]

It is funny that Crean couldn't bring in a highly ranked forward lately to save his life.  Now Buzz has 2 "top-100" forward commits for 2009.  Now is time to see Buzz's prowess at recruiting guards.  Lacy in '09 and Johnson in '10 would be pretty sweet!

Agreed, I think this commit along with Erik's helps get the word out there to other players, coaches, and AAU reps that Buzz and MU are still key players with big recruits...
