Golden Eagles are warriors. Huh?

[BrewCity83]

Don't F with the Golden Eagles!

It helps the High School coach recruit  future players when Big East staffs are involved with his current players.

I never thought about the recruiting process from the HS coach POV. That has to be pretty neat for some of them, just like the kid's family.

Wait, HS coaches recruit players?  I thought kids just play for the school in their school district where they grew up.

Cam Ward also now approaching the top 50. However per Trilly Donovan, trending away from MU now. Virginia and others getting more in the picture

Trust the process.

Trust the process.

Agreed, I do not see him enjoying his style of play!

In the true spirit of yet another Wojo thread derailment, back in the days of yesteryear I would've been pretty disappointed with a Wojo 4 man class with no top 75 recruits.

Nowadays, we are all pretty excited about a Shaka 4 man class in the 80-150 range in the rankings.

What a difference coaching ability can make.

Good point. How would we have felt about a Buzz class? Crean?

yea the difference is shaka doesn't need all of his recruits to be able to play right away in order to be a competent team

[brewcity77]

Good point. How would we have felt about a Buzz class? Crean?

Buzz: I'd wonder why there were no JUCOs. Honestly, most of Buzz's highly-ranked recruits probably came up short of expectations in terms of overall career at Marquette. Junior Cadougan, Vander Blue, Jamil Wilson, Juan Anderson, Duane Wilson, Deonte Burton, even Jajuan Johnson. Some came good by their later years (Van, JTA, Jajuan) but it wasn't like anyone came in and were career long starters. If you look at who carried his best teams after the Amigos, it was guys like Jimmy Butler, DJO, and Crowder that came from the JUCO ranks.

Crean: I would be disappointed in this class. He didn't have many lowly ranked guys that really stood out (Wade, but he was a special case). Most of his stars were guys like Diener, Novak, the Amigos, and Hayward who all came in well-regarded.

I am excited about his class for two reasons.
1. They should be able to play Shaka's style.
2. They are players who appear to be on the upswing.

I agree with this analysis

In a lot of ways, Marquette is on the class of 2026 like no one else

We really live what we preach. It's a thing of beauty

Do you think we still have a shot at Cam Ward or have we completely moved onto 2026

We're still in the thick of things for Ward.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

We're still in the thick of things for Ward.

And I will believe we continue to be until we hear that we are recruiting additional '25s.
