Buzzketball Recruiting Central: December Recruiting

Dont expect this to change very much under Buzz. All of his years at Marquette, he rarely had a deep bench of bigs. He has always favored the fast, athletic, great shooting team over having size down low. It also comes down to hitting on the ones he has gotten.

So far, Pierce and Henry were busts, Van Zegeren couldnt get on board, neither could Trevor Thompson. Blackshear injury now coupled with Hamilton as a bust/injury has left Buzz with essentially one big for all three years.

Next year, you have the potential for Blackshear, Sy, younger Leday, and Fullard. Thats three 6'10 guys and a bulky Seth Leday. Not sure Buzz is going to use his one remaining scholarship this season unless he finds a solid transfer that needs it for a year so be prepared to go forward with those four as your potential "Bigs".

In terms of competition, I would say Oregon and Baylor are our toughest so far but he is only a junior and already has more than 10 D I offers. I am not sure what his expectations are as a European coming through Canada. He does seem to envision himself in a multi role winger type slot which works to an area of Strength in terms of Buzz demonstrating a high use of those kind of players and reaching back to his Marquette days, the ability to put those players in the pros. We will have to see what happens with Hill and Clarke on whether they are garnering NBA attention as Buzz tries to close in on a commitment from this player.
