VANDER BLUE TO MARQUETTE

Written by: hilltopper91@gmail.com (Kevin Buckley)

Todd Rosiak is reporting (http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/64704752.html) that Vander Blue, who de-committed from UW@Madison, has now committed to Marquette:
QuoteIn a twist that is sure to add even more spice to what has already become a heated rivalry between in-state rivals, Madison Memorial star Vander Blue on Sunday orally committed to play for the Marquette Golden Eagles, roughly five months after announcing he wouldn't follow through on an oral commitment to play for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Blue, a 6-foot-4 senior guard, took an official visit to MU over the weekend, and was in attendance for 'MU Madness' at the Al McGuire Center on Friday night. Decked out from head to toe in MU gear, Blue appeared to be at home and enjoying himself as he took in the fesitivities, which included his best friend, Golden Eagles freshman forward Jeronne Maymon.

For more on the story, check out IWB's Sports Blog (http://community.sportsbubbler.com/blogs/iwbs_sports_blog/) for plenty of comments from Blue and his mom.  

As a consensus Top 40 recruit (if not higher), Vander joins fellow Top 100 recruit Jamail Jones (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball_recruits/jamail_jones) in the 2010 recruiting class.  Coach Buzz Williams (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/buzz_williams) and Marquette have locked up five Top 100 recruits in two years.  And with one more spot in the 2010 recruiting class available (http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?page=8), there may be even more potential yet.
