I probably shouldn’t be so negative about Marquette but I watched a handful of their games this year and I couldn’t be less impressed. Howard might be their best talent but he has the IQ of a middle school player and forces a lot of terrible shots. It’s rare to see a good, consistent volume scorer at the college level. You have to play through your stars but consistent success is rare when you live and die on 1 player. I don’t see Marquette limiting him next year, so it’ll be a repeat of this year if he doesn’t limit himself and play smarter.
I think Ty Jerome will return. He’s still sitting outside the 1st round in most mocks, maybe it’ll rise a little..... But who knows, it’s all pointless speculation when it comes to guessing a player’s choice to stay or leave. I’ve thought right many of times and I’ve been shocked as well. I wouldn’t put UVA as #1 if Jerome leaves, same goes for Winston and MSU.
Even predicting the good, bad and ugly a week before the season opener is a guessing game. It’s always hard to predict just how good (or bad) an incoming recruit’s game will translate into college. Cam and Zion for example. Nobody expected Zion to be as stellar as he was and everyone predicted way more from Reddish.
