Recruiting as of 12/15/24

[Nukem2]

As of about 3 weeks ago Trilly Donovan said if he had to pick a team at that moment who would win the Cam Ward sweepstakes it was MU. Don't think that's changed at least yet even with recent commitments especially since our own recruits are still talking about recruiting him.

The elite competition and their nil $$$ will be an obstacle and he is not committing anywhere until December. Could be an uphill battle.

Thankfully, this recruit class already rocks.  Ward would be the coup de grace.   But with or without him, the class rocks.

Yup.

There's a lot to be excited about with MU hoops this year and beyond.

I thought I had seen that he moved his timetable up ... but I definitely could be mistaken on that.

I 100% agree with this.

I would really like to add Cam to this class, but I no longer think it is necessary.
Including the center who is redshirting this year, MU has a 5 freshmen class. A center, 2 forwards and 2 guards. I am very excited to see how this class performs over the next four years.

I am not sure how this class will rank based on their final high school rankings, but I am confident they will exceed their class ranking. It is a perfectly built roster.

In the new world of college sports, with the portal & NIL, it will interesting to see how many of the 5 (yes I'm including Cam) will be playing for MU in the 27-28 season when they will be juniors.

No matter how good the present is people can't help but look for the landmines 3 years down the road..........

I hope our 2032 class pans out. I'm concerned about lack of shot-blocking for the 2033-34 season.

No worries that's about the time Big Mac's son will be breaking his Dad's record!

I don't think Cam Ward is playing college ball anywhere in 27-28

Need to identify an aircraft carrier today for 2033-34 imho.

[MattyWarrior]

I can't believe how many great players Shaka and co. Picked up in two months, the future is bright indeed!

That's hilarious!

He'd better bring a mid-range game, too.

Why? We certainly hope he'll be playing for Marquette then.

There are some who think of him as a future NBA player. Possibly a 2 and through or 3 and free situation.

This wouldn't surprise me.  Ward is a great scorer with pro size (6-8/215).

Someone dig up old Wojo era posts on here after big recruiting news

[BCHoopster]

If Ward commits let's say, lineup then

Gold
Ward
Owens
Ross
James or Stevens

Interesting??

Ha! Very true.  But with the caveat that we know we have a much better talent developer.

Buzz kill (or maybe Wojo kill is more appropriate)

This is also what I believe. he is 2 & done.

Shaka is also a better team builder.

[Shooter McGavin]

Shaka is also a better team builder.

Agreed.  The culture he has built in a short period of time is pretty amazing.
