I love how some on this board want Cuanzo Martin... His team is just as much on the bubble as we are. I am hoping that this team continues to fight and get wins as the season comes to a close.
Everybody is high on his recruiting abilities and the fact that he is from the St. Louis area, which people think will give him a huge upper hand in recruiting both St. Louis and Chicago. He is also African American, which I'm sure will appease the Irvins.
His underachievement at Cal is certainly not being ignored and is a concern, but many believe he has a much higher ceiling at a program like Illinois. The other concern is that Mizzou will probably try to snag him up, which will be a huge concern, because they will suddenly become a major player again with St. Louis recruits. As much as we like to trash Mizzou and call them our little brother and point to the fact that they have never been to the Final Four, you can't deny that there is a ton of potential with their program, which has been evident in years past.
