Shaka Smart & Greg Gard Have Their First In-State Recruiting Battle with Seth Trimble
Marquette and Wisconsin are rivals in basketball. You know that. I know that. Sometimes, people like to say it’s not a rivalry, which could not be more wrong. But the two schools do not compete against each other for recruits that often. Typically, it is the bigger name prospects in the state where it’s no brainer no matter the system. Due to the contrasting styles though, it’s unlikely we see it down to Marquette or Wisconsin. Maybe Seth Trimble will be that player to decide between the two in-state schools. The talented guard is visiting both the Golden Eagles and the Badgers this month. We’ll get to see the first recruiting matchup between Gard and Smart.
Marquette is hosting four-star junior Seth Trimble for an unofficial visit today, he told @Stockrisers. He will visit North Carolina, of the official capacity, on June 16.
Will also unofficial to Wisconsin on June 23rd.

The list of schools is deep for Trimble. Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, USC have all expressed interest. North Carolina is also starting to peak around with the talented point guard. Wisconsin has already made an offer to Trimble while Marquette has not. It wouldn’t surprise me if they did when Trimble was on campus yesterday. There is a chance that both Gard and Smart miss out on this kid given the bevy of high-profile schools that are after him currently. Marquette and Wisconsin are not chopped liver though. We’ll see if one of the coaches can come up on top with the talented Menomonee Falls guard.
