Is Marquette's own Chris Crawford really attempting a comeback at age 39? :wink:

Listed by Hoopshype as being on the Houston Rockets summer league roster. Hasn't played since 04.

Predictions from scouts is that Ellenson will sign with Marquette. If wojo gets him thst would be 3 of the top 4 recruits in Wisconsin to choose Marquette and zero for Wisconsin. Stone would instantly make Marquette a top 5 recruiting class if he signs

Thats funny about Crawford. I think they made a mistake and they are talking about the Memphis Chris Crawford.

What is the latest on Stone's claim that he is a package deal with that top 3 SG? I don't follow MU recruiting as closely as I would like. I still think Stone ends up at Duke or UNC or another blue blood program.

The Crystal Ball should be taken with a massive grain of salt. With that being said, it is not looking good for Marquette: http://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/ ... redictions

Lots of UK and UCLA love lately. Wonder if Stone would be interested in playing with Looney in UCLA.

Looks like the older Ellenson is already transferring to Marquette

And my least favorite Golden Gopher is now my least favorite Golden Eagle. :lol:

Hopefully Wally's commit leads to Henry's commit, otherwise MU will be taking on a headache of a family with very little payoff. Definitely a huge get for the track team though, Wally is probably a top 3 high jumper in the country.

Brevin Pritzl is pretty highly rated depending on the service you use and went to UW. I have no idea what to think of Ellenson at this point and where he is going, MU was picking up some steam.

They already grabbed Heldt, I would imagine that Wojo would of course take Stone and Ellenson on top of them but I don't know if Heldt already signing would lead one to believe that they're getting both of those other 2.

Noskowiak is good but for some reason Wisconsin didn't put much effort into him. Don't take it as one of those lame UW fan "Bo cooled on him" things because he's good and absolutely one of the top WI recruits but they had other priorities it seems.

EDIT: Looks like Henry would be pretty likely with his brother there.

Mu just got another top 75 recruit and looks like Ellensons is favorite to pick mu come November. Wojo could have a top 5 recruiting class in his first year as head coach.

It is absolutely nuts what Wojo is doing for Marquette without even coaching a game yet. Home run hire, doesn't even begin to describe the situation.

PkrsBcksGphsMqt · Post #132 » by **PkrsBcksGphsMqt** » Fri Sep 5, 2014 9:02 pm

The 2015 class to date: http://marquette.247sports.com/Season/2 ... ll/Commits

+ 4-star Sandy Cohen who he retained from the 2014 class.

Yeah so far, so good. Hope he can coach a bit, but he's doing great work on the recruiting front. If he actually lands some of these 5* guys, it is going to be a nice run I think ---- albeit we better get used to hearing his name in ever possible major market opening.

Evan Daniels currently has Marquette ranked #17 for 2015 recruiting classes. If they reeled in Ellenson, they'd shoot into the top 10, probably even top 5.

Henry Ellenson is in town for a visit this weekend and in a *coincidence* Nick Noskowiak (his good friend and Marquette signee) and Steve Novak and Jabari Parker will be on campus to play some pickup ball.

Hopefully he verbals this weekend before getting to Kentucky in a couple weeks.

Per Reggie Rakin from ESPN: Breaking News: Henry Ellenson has informed @ESPNRNHoops he is headed to Marquette Story and Scout's Take on the way.

Huge get for MU! Now Wisky needs to keep Stone in state!

PkrsBcksGphsMqt · Post #137 » by **PkrsBcksGphsMqt** » Thu Oct 9, 2014 2:31 pm

Boom! Probably a top 5 class!

Whoa! Huge get!

Henry Ellenson's 36.4 PER was the best in @usabasketball U17 World Championship history, ahead of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Andre Drummond.

Obligatory negative post: with recruiting Wojo has been doing, get ready for yearly "Wojo is rumored for the Head Coach at..." articles.
