According to 2019 FBI crime data, Milwaukee (home of Marquette) is the sixth most dangerous big city in the United States (Google "Milwaukee crime ranking" for source). Milwaukee also averages 45 inches of snow a year. Bloomington get 17, most of which quickly melts. Marquette's campus is next to a massive highway crossroads (pic below). For all those police cars and snowplows. I know Archie would never negative sell a recruit. Rightfully so. But as someone who lives in Wisconsin, I just had to show the whole picture. Even people in Milwaukee avoid Milwaukee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even people in Milwaukee avoid Milwaukee. Understand your point and agree completely— I lived in Wisconsin for 8 years. In saying that, the kid comes from Minnesota. Lots of snow there, so on that point, maybe the familiar is comforting. Milwaukee certainly has changed since I lived there, but to be fair, a high level basketball recruit , at a basketball school, is going to be isolated from many of the problems. Who knows what appeals to Dawson most. I will be interested to see how this plays out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 My question is what happened at Marquette last year. Seemed like the team gave up and even their best players abandoned ship after the year. Makes me wonder about Wojo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the day he announced he was returning the next day they announced they were transferring. That said that still is about the coach and how he runs the team. I know transfers are normal but Marquette has had several over the past few years and losing half your starting lineup and flaming out at the end of the year doesn’t speak well of the coach. I’d avoid them if I was Dawson lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a rash of injuries and had that bad stretch but we actually finished the season strong on win streak until we failed to show up in the B1G tournament.

A lot of rumors and speculation for sure. Much has been proven to not have happened. So possible. But the injuries were 100% factual and played a role.

IU Scott Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I wish he would have visited for HH because that is the kind of environment he should expect if he comes here. He will be going when the football team is playing home coming and sometimes the environment at the football games are not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down to Dickinson, Kalkbrenner, and Carlson. Where do you think he lands? Word is that Dickinson is no longer considering Purdue. And according to Purdue fans, it's because Painter stopped recruiting him. Dickinson is announcing his final 4 schools today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
