The great ballplayers...
1:48:04
they care about basketball
more than they care about school...

1:48:07
and I know they do.
1:48:22
Shaky. Shaky.
1:48:29
Ohh.!
1:48:33
Let me try somethin;!
1:48:36
If you're looking for
a progressive college basketball program...

1:48:40
with experienced leadership
and a winning tradition...

1:48:44
then the Marquette Warriors
are for you.

1:48:48
William's first home recruiting visit.
1:48:52
Three top schools postpone visits...
1:48:54
preferring to wait and
see how William will do

1:48:58
his senior year at St. Joe's.
1:49:01
If you don't make the test score,
it doesn't mean we don't want you...

1:49:05
because we still do-
that's what I'm telling you.

1:49:07
If you tear your knee out
again this year...

1:49:09
and you can't
play ever again...

1:49:12
you're gonna have your education
paid for at Marquette University.

1:49:15
I know that the scholarship
is one-year renewable.

1:49:18
Gene's right about this, but any school
worth its salt is gonna give you four years.

1:49:23
The bottom line is this-
we want to win the national title.

1:49:27
Number two- I wanna make you
the best player I can.

1:49:30
I wanna give you an opportunity
to, maybe someday...

1:49:34
be one of those guys that makes
some money in Europe or in the NBA.

1:49:38
You're one of seven guys
that we're recruiting right now.

1:49:42
- You're recruiting seven guys?
- Seven guys for three spots.

1:49:48
Where he fit in?
1:49:50
- Where does he fit in?
- Yeah.

1:49:52
As soon as William tells me
he's not looking at any other schools...

1:49:56
then I'm not looking at
any other players.

1:49:58
So, what?
The first one sign, that's -
