Marquette wins 2013-14 recruiting

[BEX]

X has 2 kids from their National #14 class from LAST year who never played a lick due to eligibility issues. Myles Davis and Jalen Reynolds should help us right away this year. With the 6'10 Matt Stainbrook elgible after the transfer, we should have a very deep squad. No walk-ons will play major minutes this year by necessity, altho, even the walk-ons are good.

Also not mentioned is Alex Veznekov, a 6''8" fwd from Bulgaria. Mack is going over to Latvia to watch him play in the EuroLeague. He has played with Pros for 2 yrs. but retained his amateur status. Said to be the best prospect in Europe, for whatever that's worth. LOI signed and can play in fall.

It's hard for me to think of X as anything but the favorite. So I won't.

I think a lot of people are sleeping on X beacause of their record last year.

PC has 6'8" Rodney Bullock from Virginia coming and also 7' Carson Dersosiers (junior) transferring from Wake Forest and 6'9" Tyler Harris (sophomore) from North Carolina State both eligible this year. Harris in particular is really going to help, he is only 20 years old and has been a star at both Kevin Durant and Lebron James's skill academies recently.

Forgot Brandon Austin-top 50 player I believe.

No they're not.

We like to sneak up on people.

Care to elaborate?

No one's walk-ons are good and certainly not worth bragging about.

technically Creighton could argue that they have a good walk on...

seriously other than very very rare circumstances comparing the quality of one teams walk-ons is truly useless...

While walkons can be important for practice and be great team guys and assist in other intangibles that have infinite value, you can almost always apply this general rule: if you are relying on walk-ons to play meaningful/ major minutes your team will have serious problems. I hope that no BE team finds itself in a spot where it is relying on walk ons. (with the exception for Creighton's unique situation)

Totally agree. Although back in the 80's Nova had a walk on named Pat Enright who almost singlehandedly erased a late double digit lead in the NCAA Tourney against highly ranked Illinois (on the way to a Nova Elite Eight appearance). '88 I think?
