Spoke with Juan earlier today, but finally got time to pound out the story...

http://marquette.scout.com/2/1009513.html

nice work iwb.

Wow...he is coming back for Midnight Madness?

Very very cool for him to make that commitment and hopefully help recruit a couple of other kids to join him at MU.

Great article, thanks IWB!  Seems like a perfect fit for MU.  And definitely cool and unexpected that he's coming for Madness.

Nice story...sounds like a great kid from a good family.  Am looking forward to watching him for the next few years.

Great article..and from all of us at Warrior/Golden Eagle nation..YES, we are excited to have you Juan!!  Enjoy Midnight Madness.

Does anybody else here wish they actually still had Marquette Madness at Midnight?

Thanks for sharing the link IWB!

Nice plug for Benford also.  It's not always all about Buzz!

"Their facilities are great, they really do have great facilities, but with that group, and their mentality, it doesn't matter what the facilities are like, get a ball and put us on some hardwood anywhere, and we will work and improve."

I LOVE this kids attitude, he sounds exactly like the kind of player that will flourish at Marquette. Welcome to the family Juan!

great article, love how he calls the basket "the cup"

YES. Absolutely.

Part of the reason you have recruits at Madness is to show them a great, wild atmosphere. Give the students some time to get some alcohol in them and get the place rowdy.

With Haunted Hoops the week after, the "what about the kids" argument doesn't hold much water with me.

Even if you start it at 10:00, old people and kids won't be able to handle that.

the scrotum-less MU married men could still handle it(and maybe the wifey too).

Polish a 6 pack of Lite, head to MM till midnight, then go bird dog beaver at the bars. 

Is it just me, or is the "its all about the academics" argument played out and fake. If it really were "all about the academics" wouldn't have Anderson gone to Cal?

y'all should know his AAU coach, Ray Young. Stud CA prep then a solid player at UCLA.
He was the next hyped player out of St. Joe's Alameda after Kidd.

I'm glad that "he's a popular."

With Joe Fulce as his host I wonder how the Spanish O'D's played into this recruitment?

The silky vocal renderings of our very own Spanish O'Donnell's was key to Juan Anderson's signing. Upon hearing those very first golden notes he knew he was in the presence of greatness. The only question was what pen to use to sign his NLI.

We are so very fortunate to have the Spanish O'Donnell's as our silver tongued ambassadors of wholesome goodness. Their smooth take offs on the hard work of the truly talented is humbling. Only Weird Al Yankovich has prospered more from the diligence of others.

Has to be a  great pick-up. He sounds like he's a pretty polished, intelligent kid - either that or he's already got a press agent. Wouldn't sell the Academics short - don't think he's talking about how many Nobel prizes the faculty has won, but rather the emphasis placed on players succeeding academically and the resources devoted to that happening. It should be fun to watch this kid develop.

Excellent point mileskishnish72. Believe it or not, Cal has a graduation rate of 20%, a full 80 percentage points below ours. 

That's cool he is coming to Marquette Madness. I can't wait to see him.

"I have a pretty high basketball IQ for high school, but the next level is completely different, and I have to continue to learn more about myself and the game."

Ba-zinga.  Exactly the attitude that will make Buzz's system a success.

Maybe he didn't want to spend his next 4 years with a bunch of liberals. :)

If academics means access to professors, than MU has it all over Cal.   If academics means a broad based education at a Liberal Arts college, than MU has it all over Cal.   It depends on what you are looking for.

Bird dogging beaver in Milwaukee requires a lot more than a 6 pack.  One of the many reasons many of fled Wisconsin after graduation.

This is soooooo... true. As a friend of mine from Houston used to say, "You can drink em perty(sic), but you can't drink em skinny".

Amen!!

4 years of hogballing was about all most of us could handle.

How about some stats from Women's Health?  I just get the feeling that many here do not care how fit the guys are in Milwaukee.

The study examined each city as a whole, not just the men.

I don''t know how they did that study, but let me tell you one thing:  I lived in Miami for eight years and there's no city in this beloved country that has better looking women than Miami.  OK, maybe LA and NYC, but that's it.   :o

Miami is kind of all or nothing...but the "all" is top of the line, choice cut, Latin and International beauty.  I would submit that Dallas/Fort Worth, TX..but particularily Dallas is definitely a Top 5 city..plus the girls here are not as attitude-laced as the LA and NY girls.  I''d put Dallas's "7's" and "8's" up against any city in the U.S.  We may not be the best city for 9s and 10s  - even though we have a lot - but when measured like 7's and up...I've never been to a city with more talent.

Talk about a flawed study!  My favorite exercise (no pun intended) is walk by the Milwaukee gate during my frequent visits through DIA and check out the fatties.  If I have time I will also stroll by the Vegas gates to count mullets.

Cal is one of the absolute best public universities in the country. A 4.0 might not get you in. It is super competitive. Ilove MU, but you cannot even attempt to compare the two. apples and oranges completely.

The difference is your child will not come out totally brainwashed from MU, only a 15% chance.  It's nearly 99% at Cal.

Miami, like any major city, has areas where the good-looking are hard to find.  BUT, go out on South Beach, Coral Gables, the Grove, U of M (not even mentioning Ft. Lauderdale) and the beauty is unrelenting. 

I go to lots of major cities for work, including Dallas and Houston, about 3-4 times a year and I've been very impressed by the beauty in those two cities.  My current home of Atlanta is also not bad, but can't hold a candle to Miami.  Of course, I lived in Miami in the prime of my young adulthood so I was out and about a lot.  Now I'm practically a shut-in with 2 small children so harder to compare I suppose. 

And no, Garlic, I've never been to Medicine Hat, have you?

Yes, as someone of the female persuasion, I care how fit the guys are in Mke.  It is interesting how many have posted critical comments regarding the ladies, but probably believe you are better than average looking men.

Livin' the good life here in BC. Great herb, an ocean teeming with salmon and ling cod, and lots of earth mummys to keep a gent warm at night. Only damn bit about it is the HST but we're sorting that out right now, don't you never mind.  Now, as for spanking, i can only say I once met a gal in Kelowna who liked that sort of thing

It's funny how the absolute best academic institutions (and Cal is one of them) are always the ones that do the brainwashing.

You really need to travel more.

What is really funny about this thread: How the hell does it go from Anderson's commit to which city in the US has the best looking poontang?

My vote goes to New Bern, N.C. or Newark, N. J.

Did you read my post?  I essentially said they were apples and oranges.  I don't care how elite Cal is, it isn't for everyone.  If you want a more intimate, liberal arts based education, where you can actually get to know your professors, than you will probably choose MU, and probably won't even apply to Cal.

It's not just the States there, eh! I believe I nominated the fine lasses here on Vancouver Island. Throw some BC Bud, Crown Royal, and smoked salmon into the mix and you have the makings of a damn fine weekend!

this once again brings to mind my theory about the quality of cheerleaders. I think you could draw a line across the US - somewhere around the mason-dixon line - since all the northeastern and upper midwest schools tend to have ugly cheerleaders while the southeast and southwest sections of the country and southern california have the best. I have actually pinpointed part of the borderline. It runs between Durham and Chapel Hill, NC. Duke's cheerleaders (evidently drawn from a northeastern base and demographic) are dog ugly. I need to apply for a grant so I can do a study to support my theory.

I hypothesize that the line is I-40.  However, it must jump north and take I-540 as you go east, since NC State has a lot of talent despite only being like 40% female.

By definition then, Marquette cheerleaders are ugly. Back in the day, fine poontang such as Lisa Dooley and the legendary, Gail Pudvan were exceptions to the rule. Lisa, btw, is the daughter of the former Bears head coach and a really nice, fun-loving' chick. Didn't know Gail except from a far.
