With freshman Jamail Jones already on campus for the first session of summer school, nearly all of the remaining 2010-11 recruits arrived in Milwaukee this weekend.
Jones has been joined by Vander Blue, Davante Gardner, Reggie Smith, Jamil Wilson and walk on Dave Singleton. The group was quickly introduced to college life with a team meeting and the recruits have already participated in classes, tutoring sessions, workouts and photographs.
Singleton played two seasons at High Point University under current MU Director of Basketball Operations Bart Lundy. He will sit out in 2010-11 and have two seasons of elibility left.
The only remaining member of Marquette's nationally ranked recruiting class not on campus as of yet is junior college transfer Jae Crowder. The national player of the year will arrive in time for the start of the Fall semester.

So much for the Philly pipeline drying up...
This walk-on does not use up a scholarship, right?
He actually takes up two.
He's from Coastesville, PA. How can that be? After Buzz Williams ruined the life of DJ Newbill, the chances of a player from PA/Philadelphia area ever attending MU dried up completely. I realize time heals all wounds, but this is ridiculous.
oops. JWags beat me to it.
So Frozena will still be able to play this year? and by play I mean "play"
Seriously, this does not/cannot use up a scholarship?

No, Frozena had received no indication this was happening until Buzz blind sided/pulled the rug out from under/screwed him. Look for the exclusive video report on what happened coming soon.

Seriously, yes. Just want to be sure, sometimes they turn into scholarships. I don't possess your expertise in these matters and thanks again for your response.
similar to Buzz saying a player would be going to prep school...Buzz also indicated there would be two walkons this year.
David kills Gardner Webb. Should come in really handy for those early December tilts. :)

Buzz actually had an assistant notify Frozena of the change. Buzz was unavailable for comment, but exclusive video report will speculate as to what he would have said.
wow not your average walkon...parents must have some money possible scholarship player down the road?

No. A walk-on does not take up a scholarship. There are cases like this where a player is invited to join the team as a walk-on. Occasionally an invited walk-on will then earn a scholarship in the future. Jeff Jordan did this at Illinois.

I agree... Read his bio from High Point, he played a lot (Actually started his freshman year). Definitely not your average walk-on.

He went to The Hill School, a boarding school in PA, for High School. I checked out their website, 2010-11 tuition is is $45,500 per year, (but only 31,500 for day students).

Methinks he comes from some money.

Think we can ask Brad to get a video interview of this cat?
Nice, pretty good player, especially for "free". Time to add a few more gray boxes to that scholarship table!

From Wikipedia (Chester County, where Coatsville, PA is located):
Chester County is a county located in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. As of 2000, the population was 433,501. The county seat is West Chester. It is the highest-income county in Pennsylvania and 24th highest in the nation as measured by median household income (as of 2010).[1] Chester County is home to many communities that comprise the westernmost extent of the wealthy Main Line suburbs.
Guess we can forget about the "Cracked Sidewalks", eh?

The Wild Rumpus will still be a walkon this year, as Singleton has to sit a year per transfer rules. We might pull a second out of somewhere else though.

Apparently, anywhere in Pennsylvania is close to Philly...
I know this kid. Good student. good character, and an asset to any program. He was mistreated at highpoint after Lundy left so I would guess that he has great motivation to succeed. I forgot to mention that he is a pretty good baller.

So he wants to be a starting point guard, and he's looking for a school closer to home.
Yep, sounds perfect for MU.
Frozena gets his minutes cut into??
Not cool.
Let's DO WHAT IS RIGHT, HERE PEOPLE. Frozena was mis-led. Frozen A Exclusive, 10:00 tonight.

Yeah, sounds as if things may not have worked out as he hoped, and Buzz/Lundy may be doing him a bit of a favor, which might provide some benefit to MU as well. Although given Buzz's well documented, despicable track record, its probably safe to assume he promised him he would be the starting PG in 2011.
Buzz must not have told him about Cadougan and Smith.

I'm not positive that you're correct about this. Does the transfer sit out rule really apply when the athlete
walks -on at the new school? I wold think not.
Modification: After rereading the MU press release, it seems that he will sit out this coming year. In order to be a walkon. Strange.

But he's leaving a scholarship behind. If you could leave a scholarship behind and walk on anywhere immediately, more guys would do that.

All right. We get it.
Please don't bring it into every thread.

Yes he does. Obviously this is still a positive for MU as a walk on's role is as a practice player anyway. Obviously highly unlikely he would ever see the floor next year anyway, so they essentially will have him for 3 years.

Seriously, isn't the scholarship at least half the reason these guys play ball, so they can graduate without that college debt?
If he sits out this year and doesn't receive scholarships from MU, can he be recruited for another school next year?

I don't see why not. I assume you're talking athletic scholarships only.

Might be best for both teams. Doesn't like any offers this year. Sits out a year playing against high caliber MU players in practice on a campus with good facilities. Then look for a schollie next year where he can actually play.
Hey Ladies , you got a gift horse. Don't be looking in its mouth.

If you are referring to me, I was just saying it would be best for him if that happens. MU becomes know as a school that helps players, so it benefits them also. I was just basing this off of the article saying he wanted to play and start somewhere.
Interesting that a walk-on can register for the Pro Am and get his application in on time for summer school... :o

u should have worded this better. I dk why but it got me worried til I looked closer
Quote from: High Point Enterprise
"I wanted to be honest with him where he stood and what his role was going to be," Cherry said. "I am not mad at him, and I am not upset that he's upset because he was recruited to play a different role..."
"I didn't want a situation where he was upset in November, December, January next season and then had only one year to go somewhere else and play. I wanted him to go somewhere else and have two years left and still have a productive career."
Wait, did Cherry intend to Buzzcut Singleton or Crean him? ;)
Welcome to MU, Dave!
Enjoy your time here in Milwaukee with the rabid MU fan base!

Well, of course he could. Nobody told him to take the time to do it well. ::)
he is 6-3, 190 in both Rivals and Pomeroy. Pomeroy has him stealing the ball on 4.0% and 3.8% of the opponents trips down the court in his two seasons at High Point, making him one of the top 50 ball stealers in the country the last two years. His freshman year he had the 30th best assist rate in Division I basketball, and drew a ton of fouls. As great as MU has been at stealing the ball the last two years, his steal numbers were better than anyone on the team - DJ or Jerel in 2009 and Lazar, Buycks and Acker this year.
Don't get me wrong, I know this was against the Big South and not the Big East so he wouldn't have pulled off those numbers here. But I think this is a guy you could legitimately put into play the point if God-forbid we have someone out injured. The kind of guy you sure wish we had on the roster when Diener broke his hand senior season.

Perfect example. You can never have too many of those guys.
I still have painful memories of that disasterous NIT game with various people trying to run a 5th grade weave offense. I don't think most of our possessions ever got inside the 3-point arc before we'd turn it over.

It was extremely difficult to watch. You just KNEW we weren't going to score.
makes no sense to take this guy on and dangle a scholarship for him!
I believe that there is no limit to the number of walk-ons but I can't find it in writing. Does anyone know?
Because of injuries and transfers last year, there were times when Buzz couldnt even have the guys go 5 on 5...it was 4 on 4 and sometimes not even that. It truly speaks to Buzz' (and his staff's) ability to prepare his team to play the best league in the country, when they cant even run a legit scout team.
Now, barring injuries and/or transfers, Buzz has:
12 scholarship players eligible to play in 2010
1 high major scholarship player eligible to practice (Jamil Wilson)
1 Walk-on with low major D1 experience (Dave Singleton)
I dont mean to offend Rob Frozena, but I'm willing to bet Singleton (and Wilson) will provide a better look on the scout team than Rob could.
The makeup of this roster is something that should excite every MU fan.

I know he is a walk-on, but I thought Rosiak would of had this up.
