It seems like just yesterday when Brian and I discussed how many points freshman Dominic James would score per game for MU, considering he averaged more than 30 for his high school team. Of course, he was merely runner up in Mr. Basketball to Indiana "Superstar" Luke Zeller of Notre Dame fame.
We wound up with James when we lost out on Bobby Frasor to North Carolina. I was wondering what everyone thought on the odds of adding either both Frank Bez-Eze or Iman Shumpert along with verbally committed Alabama swing guard Nick Williams.
I have joined both Facebook groups advocating that they come to MU, I'm not sure what else I can (legally) do.
The class of DJ, McSteal, and Mr. Basketball (which usually means nothing in Wisconsin) Wes Matthews, will go down as one of the best in MU history, and pretty much guarenteed four straight NCAA berths. I was wondering if everyone thought the trend would continue with next year's class? Shumpert would be Crean's top recruit of all time, as he will likely be a McDonald's All-American and in the Top 15, Top 10 high school players in the nation. Ben-Eze must decide between us and Harvard. If BE joins, we will finally have the formidable front line (along with Top 50 forward Mbwake) MU has always desired.
Thoughts?

I also forgot to ask: If we land this recruiting class, perhaps the best one in the country, what will it mean for MU basketball and for the university? If we don't land either? What happens then?
I feel that if we land this recruiting class, most people will finally see just how great of a recruiter Tom Crean is. More importantly, though, we need to make it past the first round in the tourney this year. I feel that if we fail again to make it past this first round, no matter the recruiting class Crean brings in, he will be questioned. As we all know MU fans can be extremely harsh. We see it all the time, remember when people were actually booing Diener!? So in summary, we desperately need a W in this years Tourney. IF we can fulfill that goal and also bring in some of these big time High Scool players next recruiting class, nobody will be able to question Creans coaching.
However, wasn't Chris the Reapeer Grimm rated out of high school? I dont think we can compare him to Ben EZe though.
Holla!
