Markus Climbing The Ladder

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

Its odd to think about this so early, but Markus will likely start his ascent past some all-time greats on the scoring list in the next few games.

Jerel McNeal - 1,985
MARKUS 1,878 Through GTown
Lazar Hayward - 1,859
George Thompson - 1,773
Dominic James - 1,749
Butch Lee - 1,735
Travis Diener - 1,691
Brian Wardle - 1,690
Tony Smith - 1,688
Wesley Matthews - 1,673
Bo Ellis - 1,663
Darius Johnson-Odom - 1,649
Damon Key - 1,647
Dean Meminger - 1,637
Trevor Powell - 1,571
Steve Novak - 1,567
Don Kojis - 1,504
Bob Wolf - 1,479
Roney Eford - 1,471
Aaron Hutchins - 1,439

Can't imagine how it was seeing articles about Tony Smith or Brian Wardle climbing the ladder

[Lennys Tap]

Respectfully disagree.  The more video game moments Markus has, the closer it gets.  Wade certainly had his fair share, but Markus is constantly closing the gap IMO.

LOL - Markus would not have been the best player on ANY of the last 10 Marquette teams Al coached. On most he wouldn't have been the second best. On one or two not even the third best.

Nice student athlete and teammate. I have no doubt he's a stellar citizen as well. This all counts for something. He'll make decent money ballin' in Europe or Asia.

Markus is already the leader in shots hoisted.  How many 4 pointers did he make today?  We’re in good hands

Even though he's had some poor games, Markus is a NPOY candidate this year. That's a fact. Any you're saying that he wouldn't even be the 3rd best player on a team from the 70s?

They did not have the three point shot back then. Markus might not of started on many of Al's teams.

He was 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed.

Well, technically still alive - if we win the BET he probably makes the final 4.

[muwarrior97]

I think Markus fell off the ladder

Yes, 50 years ago was an era of no three-point line and no shot clock. So a guy that could run and shoot from long range was of limited value.

Different era, different game, different players.

Yeah, but as most of us experience things keep Changing, positive negative, negative positive etc.  I'm just staying the Watch.

The 1976 team had Butch Lee, Bo Ellis and Earl Tatum. 1974 team had Tatum, Bo and Maurice Lucas. So, yeah - that's what I'm saying.

Respectfully disagree, I think your view of the last 10 years under Al may be inflated.

He reminds me a lot of Gary Rosenberger.

I've argued elsewhere that if a three-point line existed in 1975, Rosenberger would have started.

How quickly humans turn on someone/something is amazing to me

Markus could possibly break MUs alltime scoring record as a junior. That’s absolutely remarkable, incredibly amazing.

He’s had the best singular individual  regular season of any MU player I’ve ever seen, yes even with the recent 4 game stretch.

We’ve been extremely lucky to witness it. I know it’s not easy for some but perhaps more positive rather than negative comments are in order

This board is populated with anonymous posters, not humans.

Do not confuse the two.

[muwarrior69]

If George Thompson played 4 years he would have over 2300 points and that is without the shot clock or 3pt basket and playing in fewer games each season.

George did play four years.  I opine that freshman stats should be added.

And the winner is ……..

Agreed

Did any of those freshman teams win any national championships? Or did they not have a postseason for them
