Marquette hammered Seton Hall in the Big East tournament, winning 78-56 over the dysfunctional Pirates.

More importantly, though, Wojo found his point guard of the future.

On Tuesday, Traci Carter, a 6-0 player out of Philly currently playing for former Louisville great Purvis Ellison at Life Center Academy in New Jersey, opted to join Wojo's program.

For a guy who is building his first full recruiting class, Wojo's done a spectacular job: aside from Carter, he's brought in 6-10 Henry Ellenson, 6-5 Haanif Cheatham, 6-10 Matt Heldt and 6-4 Sacar Anim, which is generally considered a Top Ten class, with Ellenson, a Top Five recruit, the centerpiece.
