Nice! Glad to have you, Jose! Hope he's welcomed by the posters here who didn't want him.

Thank You!

Welcome! Now get to work.

This is fantastic news as Perez coming to Marquette will pay big dividends with his experience and toughness.
-
Excellent. Welcome, Jose.
-
Great news—Welcome!
-
Happy to have this young man choose our alma mater.
May he do to each of our opponents what he did to Tony Bennett's Virginia Cavaliers in the 2019 NCAA tourney.
-
I like it. Excited to read his interview and how hungry he is to be the best he can be. Those are the type of guys that push themselves and ultimately push others to their best.

From J/S
The Marquette men's basketball team has added another guard to bolster its backcourt.
Gardner-Webb sophomore Jose Perez announced on Thursday that he will transfer to the Golden Eagles. Perez also considered Memphis, Illinois, Georgia Tech and Iowa State.
The 6-foot-5 Perez averaged 15.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game for the Runnin' Bulldogs. He sat out the last 10 games of the season for personal reasons.
MU has added two transfer guards this off-season. Last month, Ohio State freshman D.J. Carton committed to the Golden Eagles. MU needed some reinforcements after losing top scorers Markus Howard (27.8 points per game) and Sacar Anim (13.1).
Both Perez and Carton can apply for waivers with the NCAA to play next season. The NCAA is also considering allowing student-athletes to transfer without having to sit out a season, though the board of directors recommended against voting for immediate eligibility. The vote is scheduled for May 20.
The 21-year-old Perez is a native of the Bronx in New York City. He played for Wings Academy, winning a Public Schools Athletic League title in 2015. Perez also spent a postgraduate year at Putnam Science Academy in Connecticut.
Perez played AAU with the PSA Cardinals and became close with executive director Terrance "Munch" Williams.
"Jose is extremely versatile," Williams said. "One of those Swiss-army knifes. He can shoot the three. Get to the mid-range shot. Can post you.
"Offensive rebound – he can do the dirty work. Don't necessarily have to run plays for him. He can put it on the deck. And one the great things is he's a really good passer."
Perez chose Gardner-Webb over Kent State, Manhattan and LIU Brooklyn. He averaged 15.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists as a freshman to help the Runnin' Bulldogs win the 2019 Big South tournament and make their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Gardner-Webb, a No. 16 seeding, put a scare into eventual champion Virginia in the first round, taking a 14-point lead in the first half before falling, 71-56. Perez had 19 points, shooting 4 for 6 on three-pointers.
Williams compared Perez to former Virginia standout Ty Jerome.
"Playing from the IQ standpoint as opposed to an athletic standpoint," Williams said.
Perez's long-distance shooting took a dip last season. He shot 26 for 104 (25%) as a sophomore after connecting on 53 of 139 (38.1%) as a freshman.
MU has one open scholarship slot, though sophomore forward Brendan Bailey declared for the NBA draft and if he opts to pursue his professional career another scholarship would became available.
Williams was advising Perez during his transfer process.
"Wojo (MU head coach Steve Wojciechowski) did a great job remaining consistent with him on a daily basis and painting a picture of how he can get better," Williams said. "But also how he can continue to be who is off the court as a young man.
"And then (MU assistant) Dwayne Killings, he built a strong bond with him that was kind of brother-ish. And painting the picture of individual development and being with right with him if he has to sit out."
Man, post the link and let him get his clicks. Don't paste that entire thing here
-
Killings is the new Stan. Huh
-
Welcome, Jose!
Word on the street is he was down to us and ISU and we won out because he wanted to avoid any Perez Hilton jokes. Smart move, young man.
-
I am with everyone else, nice veteran who is already 21 years old after a prep year & 2 years at Gardner Webb. Analytically speaking the expectations are that of a bench player, but a welcomed veteran presence nonetheless. And with the current options it’s a solid pickup.
Does anyone know what issues he was dealing with when he left the team last season?
-
Great to close the deal on a guy with some nice options of where to go.
-
I like it. Excited to read his interview and how hungry he is to be the best he can be. Those are the type of guys that push themselves and ultimately push others to their best.
Best thing about Perez is you can tell he is going to be a competitor. A guy that wears it on his sleeve a bit and gives it his all. We lacked that tenacity a bit last season and frankly since Rowsey. Sometimes some aggressive energy is what teams need.
Plus, he’s going to be a grown man come November 2021. Excited to have him on board. No offense to walk ons, but give me one of these guys every single season over giving away scholarships to a walk on.

I agree with this analysis. Get old. Stay old. While he struggled some last year, he has proven he can play at D-1 midmajor level. Seems to have an edge about him that MU could benefit from. May well round into a starter after his off year.
-
Good stuff. If he puts in the work during his redshirt year I could see him grabbing a starting spot or being a valuable piece off the bench.
-
Incase people were wondering, and I know some have their doubts...he was much better his Freshman year than Soph year against top competition. I am by no means saying that to disparage him, he has proven he can do it against high level competition.

It bears noting how instrumental Dwayne Killings has been this offseason on the recruiting trailway for @MarquetteMBB. The associate head coach played a key role in getting Jose Perez to transfer to the Golden Eagles. Killings is a high quality assistant in CBB, IMO. #mubb

When's the last time we had a player from New York? There certainly hasn't been one since I started nearly 10 years ago now.

Dwight Burke was from Brooklyn. Lazar was from Buffalo.
-
The last guy who attended 4 years in NYC schools would be Artie Green (1977). Taft High School, where Artie went, is 2.5 miles from Wings Academy, where Perez attended.

NYC? Or state? Isn't Symir from new york (state)?

Symir is from Syracuse. Often times in my experience, when people mention when is last time someone played from New York, they probably mean New York City, as opposed to several hours away such as Syracuse, Buffalo, etc...but depends on the person.
Incoming peferred walk on Luke Fizulich is from the New York City area, the same suburban NYC high school as former MU target RJ Davis (Stepinac in White Plains)

Next year should now be interesting. There's STILL too many moving parts to know what we have and how good we'll be.
If Carton and Perez are eligible, we'll have pretty good depth and an ability to rotate really good folks into the mix. If Mane comes, oh my lord!!!!!!! One wonders though that if Coach Wojo thought Mr. Mane was coming, would he have been all-in on Mr. Perez? We shall see!
If Messrs. Carton and Perez are not eligible, it's going to be a tough season. None of our existing guards has yet shown an ability to carry a team. Maybe with some health and greater responsibility at least one will step up. But, if Coach Wojo was confident in his guards, he might have looked in another direction. Add to the fact that a good hunk of our team will be freshmen and we better pray for eligibility! We'll need it.
-

This is true on the pieces, but even if access to all new transfers, I think getting the team to play together and get used to each other is going to be an immense challenge. Particularly if there isnt summer workouts, etc.
If Wojo can pull that off and have the team firing on all cylinders by conference season it will be a huge positive mark on his coaching credentials.

In an ideal situation, this would have been a good summer to take an abroad trip to create team bonding and chemistry in advance of the season.

Looks like a great replacement for Sacar, in terms of length & ability to drive:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3giL2xMhUY
It would be really nice to pick up a shooter. Even if BB comes back, this team will struggle to spread the floor and score.

Which is why I asked the OP his intent (especially since Fluffy had mentioned Lazar from Buffalo in his response).

Welcome to Marquette, Jose! Let’s Go Marquette!
-

Kind of what I was thinking, too.
If he sits one and plays two, we could do a lot worse than get the kind of years Sacar gave us as a junior and senior.
Sacar did his 3-year "apprenticeship" at Marquette, whereas Jose will have done the first 2 at GW and then 1 at MU.

Perez has a way smoother and more natural stroke than Anim, along with ability to drive and create well like you said. Looks like he could end up being better overall than Anim when all is said and done. I’m very pleased we got him. What’s perplexing is why his shooting from distance dropped so dramatically after a nice freshman season.

Y kant wee ever get a playa like #5, hey?

Looks like a decent player any team needs to have in their regular rotation. Probably lots of solid games with an occasional highlight performance.
Having height in the backcourt creates options.
At some point in time Wojo needs to put all these good options together as a team that finishes above .500 in conference.

WTH is your definition of “a season ago” for crying out loud?! The season that has concluded, last season, a season ago, etc., we were 8-10 in conference! So I guess Badgerhater had a point, didn’t he, and your counter to prop up Wojo rings hollow as always.

Three seasons out of 6 a losing conference record, and 6 games under.500 for his Big East career. LOL, right?

Yes, like that season where MU collapsed and pissed away a conference title with an All American on the team.

8-10 in conference with an All American...I forgot to add
-
Look, this is NOT supposed to delve into a Wojo debate again, but all I will say on it is.. to me, MU is a program that should NEVER have seasons below .500 in conference other than a very rare occasion or because a season was decimated by injury.
-
Yes, like that season where MU collapsed and pissed away a conference title with an All American on the team.
Okay so adding on qualifiers after the fact. Got it. Yes, if you discount the seasons in which MU finished over .500 then you need to see Wojo find a way to finish over .500 in conference for once. I agree.
::)

Shifting goalposts.

Nope. Frustrated because MU has a mediocre coach who is not bad enough to fire but not good enough to want to keep around. Hope he gets better but the track record does not suggest he will.
-
So you were okay with that performance?
In 2018-19? Yes. This past season? No.

Killings is the new Stan. Huh
Was before Stan even left IMO
Symir

Happy to have this young man choose our alma mater.
May he do to each of our opponents what he did to Tony Bennett's Virginia Cavaliers in the 2019 NCAA tourney.
I think you meant 2018?
-
8-10 in conference with an All American...I forgot to add
It was a very unbalanced team. We lost at least three games where Howard could not make the winning play.
-
I think you meant 2018?
Nope. Perez went for 19 points on 7-10 shooting against UVA in the first round of the NCAA Tournament during UVA’s title run in 2019.
-

1) Coaches are responsible for balancing teams.
2) This is what often happens when a short player is expected to "make the winning play" while being double teamed and there is no apparent Plan B.
-
I think you meant 2018?
I don't mind being corrected, because I make mistakes like anybody else. But if you're gonna go out of your way to correct somebody, you might want to make sure your correction is correct.
As wades says ...

I do not disagree with either of these two points. I was commenting on the poster who said we did not do well with an all-American on the team. I am interested in seeing how well Mu performs this year without Howard.
I also posted before the season started that Howard was not a clutch player. The season proved that this statement was correct. We missed Sam, because he was our clutch player.

Agreed. I see us being close in a lot of games but losing due to a lack of a clutch player and coaching.

OK, now I see where you were coming from. You are spot on regarding Sam.
Getting back on track with the title of the thread, hopefully Perez will not only be a surprise but also be like Rowsey and Reinhart in terms of being an "in your face" type of player that he is reputed to be. Theo is the only guy right now that has some of that attitude.

Perez said the MU staff saw him as a versatile player like Sacar Anim, who was a valuable glue guy over his final three seasons with the Golden Eagles.
"Play-make, shoot, put it on the floor, make my teammates better," Perez said. "Dive on the floor. Take a charge. Guard the best player on the other team."
I love this kid already.

He played for the same aau program Mac Etienne played for which is a notoriously difficult program to break into. I have a strong assumption Perez was primarily taken as an inroad to Mac.

College basketball is hard. It looks easy when you are a high school senior. Everyone is telling you how good you are and you are seduced by ratings which means nothing once you step on campus. My advice. Run your own race Be patient work hard and allow yourself to be coached

Exactly. Could be talking about a girlfriend, maybe he switched brands of deodorant, we just don’t know.
-
He certainly doesn’t look too down right now.
-
He hasn't shown how he can help the team win other than warming up the bench. It seems like a waste of a scholarship.

I wouldn’t say it’s a waste of a scholarship just yet. Hopefully he can contribute next year, and if he does, potentially come back another year with everyone maintaining eligibility
But if he doesn’t contribute again next year, with the amount of momentum Woj & Killings have on the HS recruiting scene it could be
