June 15th is always the first day that coaches can initiate contact with athletes that just finished their sophomore year, so who is Shaka Smart prioritizing?

If you want to be a college basketball coach, then you have to keep June 15th available on your calendar. That’s the day that coaches can start contacting players that just finished up their sophomore year of high school every single calendar year. It’s clearly a busy day, and this year’s June 15th is absolutely no different because we’re going to run through everyone in the Class of 2027 that we can at least point to that Marquette men’s basketball got in touch with on the 15th.

No particular order here other than “this is the order that I found the tweets on Monday morning even though Twitter’s search function is horribly broken.” Please Note: All of these are CONTACT with the athletes in question, it appears that none of them have received an offer from Shaka Smart and his staff at this point.

Kamari Whyte

Kamari Whyte has an On3 page that lists him as a 6’3”, 175 pound shooting guard. Of course, it also lists him as a 2028 prospect.

Tyrone Jamison

247 Sports lists Jamison as a 6’2”, 160 pound point guard. They have him as the #14 prospect in the country in their internal rankings and #11 in the country in the Composite.

J’Lon Lyons

We have our first “people are just saying things” entry on the list, as 247 Sports lists Lyons as a 6’3”, 165 pound point guard prospect, but doesn’t have him rated or ranked in their internal system or in their Composite. On3 has the same measurements, but again: No rating or ranking.

Henry Fox

We have to slide all the way down to Prep Hoops to find any measurements for Fox, as they list him as a 6’7” small forward. It’s worth noting that Fox is at the same prep school that produced Damarius Owens and Royce Parham.

Marlon Martinez

I found a MadeHoops.com profile page for Martinez that lists him as a 6’3”, 165 pound wing.

Jaydn Jenkins

247 Sports lists Jenkins as a 6’8”, 185 pound center. My advice to him would be to work on his ballhandling and shooting skills juuuuuuuuuust in case he’s maxed out his height.

Gene Roebuck III

247 Sports lists Roebuck as a 6’5”, 180 pound small forward. They have him as the #28 prospect in the Class of 2027 in the internal rankings and #22 in the Composite. With that kind of a recruiting ranking, we might not be that far away from having a Chet and a Gene in the NBA. What a time to be alive.

Shawn Foster

247 Sports lists Foster as a 6’1”, 160 pound point guard. No ratings or rankings at this time.

Declan Griffiths

It was a very busy day for Mr. Flinn so I don’t want to be mean to him…. but “3027 class” is very funny. Anyway, 247 Sports says that Griffiths is a 6’6”, 170 pound small forward.

Deuce McDuffie

Keep an eye on McDuffie, since he’s a Milwaukee kid. 247 Sports lists him as a 6’6”, 205 pound small forward.

JJ Watts

It is worth noting that if this young man is 16 years old right now, he was born before the Wisconsin defensive lineman was the #11 pick in the NFL Draft. Anyway, 247 Sports says he’s a 6’7”, 185 pound small forward.

Donovan Davis

Another Team Herro guy, just like Deuce McDuffie, so watch out for him. 247 Sports lists Davis as a 6’7”, 200 pound power forward and they rank him at #41 in the internal system. No Composite ranking yet.

Jack Kohnen

Another Team Herro player, this time from Slinger, Wisconsin. 247 Sports lists Kohnen as a 6’5”, 170 pound small forward with no ratings or rankings at this time.

Devin Cleveland

If you’re #25 in the country in 247 Sports’ internal rankings and #21 in the Composite as a 6’0”, 155 pound point guard, you’re probably pretty dang good at basketball.

Marquis Newson

247 Sports shows Newson as a 6’4”, 175 pound shooting guard. No ratings or rankings for him yet.

Hey, it’s a recruiting article, so we have to close out with the roster chart!

Marquette men’s basketball scholarships after the commitment of Sheek Pearson.

All of the guys listed above would be scheduled to arrive in Milwaukee in the wake of Sean Jones, Zaide Lowery, and Tre Norman wrapping up their time as Golden Eagles.
