I read with interest the "missing Scoopers" thread, and I will have more to say about that later, but I did want to share this:

Hopefully this reinforces that Markus is more about helping cancer than being a cancer.
What a great player and, more importantly, great person and rep for Marquette. Thanks for posting that Chick.
-
Wonderful stuff.
-
Very nice. Thanks for posting. He’s a good your man
-
That’s awesome thanks for sharing.

Class.

"He really puts a lot of things ahead of basketball." Well, no wonder he doesn't average 30.

Great post! Always good to see things like this. What a great representative for the University.

Nicely done Chick...thanks for sharing. Something to be proud of even if others mock it.
-
Good stuff, chickadee.
I'll admit, this kind of thing isn't why I'm a Marquette basketball fan. But it's one of the things that makes me proud to be one.

Plus 1 as well. We are Marquette. We may not be elite, but we are Marquette. Hopefully some of the naysayers here can understand that. We are still darn good!

Yes, basketball is just a game; this is life and that is what really matters.

Very Nice. Want this kid to finish his basketball career on a positive note badly. Who could root against a guys like this?
-
Awesome post. Was interesting hearing someone's commentary from outside the program was of the players, the coaches and of the practice. That young man has seen more of the current program than anyone on this board.

Excellent post Chick! We are Marquette because we win games, but even moreso because we recruit great kids.
It kinda reminds me of this story I read about Dominic several years ago:
https://www.espn.com/espnmag/story?id=4033119
This story starts during James' junior year of high school. He began slapping hands with Natasha Snyder before every game as she sat along the baseline at Richmond High. Natasha, who graduated from Richmond after Dominic's freshman year, suffers from a difficult-to-diagnose movement disorder—falling under the umbrella term dystonia—that combines the effects of cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis.
Dominic and Natasha became friends. Hand slaps became hugs. When Dominic went to Marquette, they continued to stay in touch through Facebook and instant messaging. And when James found out that Natasha was going to Chicago for some tests this past December, he invited the Snyders to Milwaukee for a game.
And that's all they expected: a game. But James talked to Crean about Natasha, and they decided to take it a step further. So Natasha was on the floor for the anthem and again after the game, when Dominic gave her a game ball signed by the team and a special guest, former Marquette star Dwyane Wade. She got to meet Wade, too.
"It's been a tough couple of years for Natasha, and to see that smile was really special," says her father, Jim. "That was not an everyday smile. For Dominic to do that—I can't even tell you what it meant to us."
Plenty of great examples, but guys like Markus and Dominic are shining examples of cura personalis.
WE ARE MARQUETTE!

Yeah, this pretty much perfectly summarizes what I was going to say.
-
It seems like Markus is consistently doing stuff like this, but doesn't post about it or bring the attention on himself for likes. A rare thing for someone his age. Great player, great kid. Deserves one more shot at getting hot in a tourney run, I hope he gets it!

Agree completely. I am a Marquette basketball fan because of our rich tradition, what basketball does for the university, entertainment and my hope of MU winning a NC again in my lifetime. No doubt that Howard, and it appears all of the guys, are great representatives of MU off the court and that is a great added bonus.
-
Appears the young man is doing well and recovering. Wishing him a full road to recovery.

Because Marquette gave me a life.
Because I nearly cried watching the video.
Marquette is not the only university with core values, but it is one of the few.
I don't think all the universities or teams in the Big East share our values, you'll see.

Clearly they did not get the memo on Myles Powell.

Kid came all the way from Cali as a Markus fan too. Cool to see.

I'd have an easier time praising Markus if he wasn't taking a leadership role in/being used by an organization that stealthily advocates for discrimination, including against the child of our best player ever, and was deemed too extreme for Chik-Fil-A donations. Class would be distancing himself from them and embracing Cura Personalis, one of the foundations of MU.

So you don't like Markus then.

Not to mention the fact he's affiliated with a university backed by an institution that for decades covered up horrific crimes against children.
SHAME ON YOU, MARKUS.

I'm guessing he doesn't have a clue about that and wanted to start a chapter of something that was religious and athletic.

I would humbly request this remain a positive thread about a really nice gesture. Start a different thread about the failing gs of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Marquette.

Huh, that's something I hadn't read about. Good for Wade being open about his child.

This world cannot handle a nice story. Very sad!

Thanks for sharing. Recall Stan Johnson saying once Markus committed to MU that he would be a program changer.
Incredible human being. Sure hope he gets to experience a run in NCAA this year.

I find it interesting how many here don’t seem to find this as something noteworthy.
Sigh

Love to see stories like these. How these can do anything but put a smile on your face is a mystery.

To each their own....in my view there is a percentage of MU fans, larger than I thought, that just don't care about this stuff at all. Nothing else matters.

I may have some problems with Wojo, but that was awesome to see. Thanks.

Honestly, off the court, I don’t know if anyone would say a bad thing about Wojo other than being a bit boring in the public view. I’ve heard nothing but great things from people who interact with him. He’s a great representative of MU.
