I can't see quette being an option anymore. With Shayok to decide this week I thought that's why Hill committed this wknd. I defer to MU fans but doesn't buzz need bigs badly...last two classes has plenty of switchables already.


I couldn't really tell you what buzz is looking for he surprises me a lot haha. But saw Shayok last night at madness.

From AnonymousEagle.com:

"With four scholarship seniors on the roster, Marquette still has one scholarship left to fill for next fall. Given the relative physical similarities between Hill, Cohen, and Harris, odds are that Buzz is looking to find a Real Dude with a bit of size to him. Combining the two prospects lists from ESPN and 247 Sports, odds are Buzz's efforts being focused on the aforementioned Tory Miller (6'8", 230), a power forward from Missouri, and Satchel Pierce (7', 250), a center from Ohio."

I mean that makes sense to me.

I can't see quette being an option anymore. With Shayok to decide this week I thought that's why Hill committed this wknd. I defer to MU fans but doesn't buzz need bigs badly...last two classes has plenty of switchables already.


I think it depend on whether Buzz really wants Malek Harris at this point.

That is an interesting point. Getting Shayok could certainly make it a little easier for Buzz if he decides Harris' character issues are too much. I don't know what Buzz's opinion will be on that matter, but I'm sure it will be a very difficult decision. There's also the possibility that Buzz might oversign in anticipation of a transfer for next year. I'm also not exactly sure what Buzz was thinking with his recruiting this season, I don't recall him offering a single Wilson :D
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Not too late for 2014 yet, any high major Wilson's out there over 6-8 :lol:

Even more than talent, I really love having kids who want to be here. The talent is nice to have, though. Looking forward to watching him play next year.

Reading somewhere where Hill made it a point to say that coming to a BASKETBALL school was an important factor in his decision, rather than a football school that has basketball. Like his thinking and hopefully more will follow. As to Shayok, the Friars are still in it and he may decide as early as today.
