For whatever reason, it seems like every Class of 2019 prospect in regular communication with Steve Wojciechowski and his staff has been in a hurry to include Marquette in a cutdown list this week. That trend continued on Saturday when top 20 prospect Nico Mannion had Marquette on his final four list along with Arizona, Duke, and Villanova.
Mannion is currently ranked #17 in the country in the class of 2019 according to 247 Sports’ Composite system. That is pretty impressive, given that Mannion somewhat recently announced that he was changing his classification from 2020 to 2019.
