wats up golden eagles just joined the scoop and the mu familly via dj newbill. Im from philly and im very close with dj. I think he is going to be a great addition to the mu program. I look forward to chatting with u guys oh he is not going to prep school.
Welcome to the board - Happy to have you here, and we are very excited to see DJ in a Marquette uniform. He seems like a great kid, with great basketball talent too. Not sure why, but several here have speculated DJ would be going to prep school...thanks for clarifying that he won't!
good he looks like a beast in a few of those videos posted.
a real tough guy.
What happened to part two of the interview with DJ that Brad Forster was going to post up?
Does DJ have a nickname?
QuoteDJ?
I got that. Gardner is Ox, what is DJ's alias?

That's the first real news we've had here since Davante Gardner signed on May 3rd. And its real good news too! IMHO
PhillyCoach One thing first time posters should know, when someone has something sarcastic to say or that they otherwise don't want people to think they are talking seriously about, they change the color of their post to teal. For example,
DJ Newbill will immediately be a Dwyane Wade clone as a player at Marquette!
I hope and expect that DJ's experience at Marquette will be a great one and word will get back to Philly. There's too much talent there to leave it all to Jay Wright. BTW, general consensus on this board is that Jay Wright is definitely one of the good guys among Big East coaches.
Trust me when I say we're all very excited to have DJ join the Marquette family!!
We're all hardcore MU fans, except for a couple freaks, who will welcome you as well.
So welcome Philly friend!!

I thought Gardner's nickname was Big Ox, to differentiate him from all those little oxen running around.
Based on the DJ videos we've seen, I'd propose "workout warrior" as a nickname. Maybe "WW", it'd be shorter, and you'd have to be clued in to know what it meant.
PhillyCoach,
One final thing, NewbillToMU is strictly forbidden for anyone to use as a user name. In the past year, we'd had one guy post as MaymonToMU and another post as MbaoToMU, and if you know the history of those guys, you know its clearly a jinx to use a recruit's name and "ToMU" as a user name.

Actually it was the same guy. Perhaps his new name should be "The Transfer Wizard".

I hope they come back, I missed most of that chat and was trying to figure out what was going on for a while. Sounded like it was a good time.
dj is his nickname and brad gathered more footage and should have the documentary complete in the upcoming days. I also was his high school coach and i will be at the elite camp again this summer
Do you know around when DJ will be on the Marquette campus?
It's good to have you on board, PhillyCoach. We're very excited to have DJ on our side as well. Welcome to Marquette.
Thanks for the insider info.
Welcome, PhillyCoach
We are happy to have DJ aboard with us at MU! Looks like an exciting player with a great attitude.
its great to read the responses from u guys and dj will be on campus in early july. And dj doesnt have an extra nickname
Great to hear. Sounds like DJ's already been working hard - just the mentality Buzz loves (what coach doesn't!?).
Can't wait to see him in MU colors (is it October yet)?
Alright Coach, good to have your input. All we have really seen of DJ is youtube videos. Can you give us an honest assessment of his game?
Strengths...
Weaknesses...
How he can contribute next year...
Things he needs to work on...
Thanks!
The full length feature on DJ will be posted on Cracked Sidewalks early next week. DJ just played in the Battle Of Brotherly Love hoops tourney and I wanted to capture some game footage. I now have what I need to complete the story. On a side note, his team lost by one point at the buzzer. The other squad was led by five star recruit Dion Waiters who's committed to Syracuse.
Coach,
DJ looks pretty big in his youtube videos. Do you think he can defend at the small forward spot in college?

Look forward to your feature Brad - enjoyed the last one you did on DJ. I'm excited to see DJ in a MU uniform. Get the feeling he's definitely a Buzz-type of player, and fits the MU culture perfectly. Thanks in advance for your efforts
dj was there on a visit a few weeks ago a friend watched him work out with the guys and said he held his own u and u couldnt tell that he is still in high school he fit right in with the college guys he said he was one of a few guys that can create off the dribble and he is very strong and is physically muture for his age his jay wasnt workin to well but got to the basket and finished whenever he wanted dj will need to learn how to take less dribbles and get stonger his best assets are he can play all 3 guard positions and defend them as well hell need to be a bit quicker with his feet when guarding smaller guys he creates scoring opportunities for others very well and he has a deadly midrange shooting touch im sure buzz will get more out of him i think if given the opp he contribute rite away

Coach, you are doing great with DJ info, but a period now and then would help.

Thanks-- this is great..I hadnt seen this here when I posted the same questions on your other thread...so please add anything more...If you'd like--we all apreciate you--sincerely (and I couldnt care if you use periods!)
My questions post on your other thread was:
PHILLY COACH--Please tell us on DJ Newbill:
1) How is his defensive foot work, floor/positional awareness and recovery?
2) Offensively, how is he w/o the ball, first step quickness, patient or forces the action, involved or takes a play or two off?
3) Developmentally, is he teachable, asking for input, help, or fearful, and retreating from critique?
4) Physically, will he sprout, bulk up, or is he injury plagued/prone?
5) Overall, who, as to other players does he remind you of?
Philly HS all time single game scoring list added DJ Newbill (I've heard of that Wilt Chamberlin guy!):

Personally, I don't understand the need to know your name. I'm just happy that DJ is a Warrior and I'm interested in what you have to say about him as a person and a player. Thanks for your info.

Agreed.
I mean JC, you cats are incredible. PhillyCoach comes on, gives us insight on a new Warrior and some are just suspicious. When have we ever gotten real info instead of just our amateur opinions? Frickin' Buzz could post here and some of you dudes would wonder what the hell he knows. Hell, show respect and class, incredible.
its cool guys thanks for all ur comments but i understand that there will be some who has other agendas thats life but i wil say this i will alway maintain a positive attitude when interacting on this site
