I love seeing X getting this sort of pub.
It’s nearly a certainty that we’ll end up with a 4 man class. In addition to Odom and Wilcher, it’s expected that the final 2 guys will be come from the pool of Niels Lane (66 on the 247 Composite), Colby Jones (116), Ben Carlson (83), and Jalen Bridges (78). Sounds like Cintas Center is going to be pretty busy over these next few weeks as Steele tries to lock up the remainder of the 2020 class.

But...but...but... we'll never be able to compete with the football schools over the long haul...

Nice find. When you have an abundance of minutes to offer (only available after the transfers of the Brothers Hauser), it definitely gives you a leg-up on the recruiting trail. This is an immensely big year for Wojo in terms of recruiting; his problem is absolutely not getting talented/top-100 kids to Marquette - it is either keeping them for their duration and/or development of said players while they are here. The more impact players you can get, the better; but the reality is that with those impact players, the less likely you have they will be here for four years. As with Buzz's tenure, constantly plugging holes and relying on transfers is no way of building a sustainable successful program. And the wins in March need to come sooner rather than later. After the Ellensons/Hausers debacle, I sincerely doubt he recruits brothers for a while (especially from Wisconsin).
