MU offers 2014 4-star SF Terry Larrier

[GGGG]

Marquette does not recruit bigs. We focus on overloading with switchables!

Is that a bad thing?

Cut his list to 10 and Marquette still alive

I swear we could have a UCLA like run and certain people would still find stuff to gripe about.

I love how when Looney is going elsewhere, Marquette gets bashed for letting a big get away. Now we are in on Larrier, who is bigger and more likely to play the 4 than Looney is and we are still told Buzz only recruits switchables. Some people won't be happy regardless.

Larrier isn't bigger & he's more of a wing.

Overloading on them is to some--not to you.

Looney is a wing, we've heard that for years. More of a 2/3 than a 4. Larrier can play 2/3 but it sounds like his coach thinks he'll get his share of time at 4. Similar to Steve Taylor, who came in with the skillset of a 3 but will likely get most of his time at the 4.

Nonsense. Have you seen Larrier much in person? Steve came in built like a man.

Both are versatile, but if you had to call one a forward and one a wing, you'd put Looney as forward and Larrier as a wing.

Unless you're NUTS!

Rebounding? Larrier ain't bout that life.

Not a big deal, but I just disagree with "Now we are in on Larrier, who is bigger and more likely to play the 4 than Looney is and we are still told Buzz only recruits switchables.".. because Larrier isn't bigger and he isn't more likely to play the 4.

They key part being "came in like" a man.  Didn't he put on like 35 lbs in the offseason before stepping onto campus?

In person, no, but from what I've seen, he has the kind of frame that could easily add 25-30 pounds. Steve Taylor got a lot more cut and looked to add a lot of muscle from his senior year to his freshman year at Marquette. Larrier has the frame to do the same. Looney seems to be a lot more set in the mold of a mini-Durant. I don't expect coaches to try to transform him into a 4 at the next level, while I could easily see that being done with Larrier. That may not be his game now, but when you are the #38 recruit, it's a lot more likely coaches are going to mold you than if you are top-10.

Is it me or does Miami appear to be showing up on a lot of short lists for solid recruits this year? I get that they won the ACC last year, but still....

Then again, their football team recruits insanely well despite no fanbase. Being a college athlete in Miami should be an easy sell. I guess it was only a matter of time before their bball program could at least take one step in the right direction. The improved conference might also be helping.

[MuMark]

Scout, ESPN and Rivals all list Looney as a Power forward.

My guess is he will see most of his college minutes at the 4 and almost none at the 2.

Certainly could transition to the perimeter later in college but I doubt he will stay in school long enough for us to see it.

Was it over when the MUScoop Board dealt with Hiroshima!?!?!?

I hear we are on the final list for Larry Terrier.  I hear he is a switchable.

How long is the list? And who else is on it? Kid's a stud.

They can also sell the opportunity for immediate playing time given who they graduated.

Terrier's a must get. Heard he's a junkyard dog.

We are not in his final 6.

See it took me a while to figure out what was going on too....

Buzz doesn't want anybody who would make the team 'Larrier'.   (obscure AD reference)

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Seemed like it was heading this way for awhile but it is now official.

Larrier commits to VCU per Adam Finklestein
