J.P. Macura - Commit Xavier OFFICIAL

[Steve A]

According to a tweet by Kyle Neddenriep of the Indianapolis Star, Xavier is currently watching 2014 Shooting Guard J.P Macura. Travis Steele also tweeted that he was in Indiana today recruiting, so I am assuming he is the one on the beat.

Macura apparently already has an offer from Butler and Purdue is also listed as being especially involved.

Butler and Minnesota are probably the two to watch out for on this one. Mack and Steele were in Indy watching Justin Bibbs, JP, and a handful of 2015 targets.

Mack is down in Augusta at the Peach Jam now I think, after stopping in at the deal in Indianapolis.

[Steve A]

He has picked up an offer from Minnesota.

[ballyhoohoo]

He was discussed in the last podcast on scout.

All credit goes to poster BLFDOH over on Scout for this find. He says that distance isn't that big of a factor.

Gopher Hole: Are you still going to visit Xavier this weekend?

J.P. Macura: I just went. I just got back.

Gopher Hole: I thought that you were originally going to go on the 6th?

J.P. Macura: I switched it up to kind of speed the process up a little bit.

Gopher Hole: How was the visit?

J.P. Macura: It was awesome. I liked it a lot. What I like about the school is that I can come in and have a big impact on the team right away, if I work hard at it. Overall, I think that everything was great. It is a small campus, which isn’t that bad. The classroom size is very small, which I like. I thought it was good.

[XUFan09]

Obviously, the "he" who doesn't care about distance is Macura, not BLFDOH. "Pronoun without antecedent" fail on my part.

According to the front page of musketeer scoop, J.P. Macura is currently on his official visit to Xavier. Come on Mack, get him to verbal before he leaves :)

[xufan02]

He visited last weekend, Musketeer scoop is a joke of a website.

Just saw this, anybody seen him play? Any thoughts? Can someone describe his game to me in detail?

Tape from scrimmage or whatever, kid has some bounce:

Drudy needs to send him his old shorts.

I like this video of Macura. I really had not seen much on him previously and didn't really even know his size. he looks to have good size for a SG, and his playing style is so calm. This 5 man class seems to all have slightly different strengths, and collectively their playing styles (what i think I know of them) could work out REALLY well.

[Masterofreality]

Kid went off for a huge 44 points in a game this week.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Dropped in a pretty decent 57 points tonight..

[waggy]

Dayum.

[Masterofreality]

I think he can shoot. Can't wait to see the 3 point Shootout at Muskie Madness next year.

[GoMuskies]

My favorite part of that performance is that he did it in a tight game (his team won in OT). Everyone on of those 57 points mattered. It's not like they were playing a terrible opponent and won by 40. This was 57 in a dogfight.

[paulxu]

We could have used 57 pts last night from somebody; took us a bunch of guys to get 63.

Scored 48 0n Saturday. Off night.

JP sits, still gets 35:

Just a cool clip of J.P Macura lighting it up.

[Masterofreality]

That's pretty impressive....

Even if it did happen on a court with 10 white kids playing. :spaz:

[sirthought]

Nice anticipation. That third dunk looked impressive.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Pretty athletic looking on those dunks. I think we're getting much more than just a shooter with Macura.

[bobbiemcgee]

JP scored the 1st 20 of his team's points in a loss:

JP Macura had a great game last night advancing Lakeville North past Buffalo in the Minnesota state high school tournament at Target Center. Not afraid of the big lights.

HEALL YEAH!

[ammtd34]

The kid hits a picture perfect step back NBA 3 at the buzzer to go to the state championship and celebrates by.... standing there. Ice cold.

[paulxu]

Oh my...Crawfordesque.

[ammtd34]

JP scored his 1000th point of the season tonight.

[The_Mack_Pack]

His team won the state championship 84-82 and this is his stat-line:

15 of 30 fg, 5 of 13 3pt, 8 of 11 free throw, 43 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 36 minutes

Not bad.

[Masterofreality]

@rickcarter23: Very proud of @jpmacura State Champ 43 Pts 10 Rebs #Xaviernation

Maybe our future "MacBuckets" ? Hope so!

Ma-pure-a?

Macura's greatness was clear even over his 43/10. Watch the video of the last 37 seconds:

[Lamont Sanford]

The kid has some serious range. Maybe he could be Myles Davis' shooting tutor when he arrives in July.
