Choosing 1 and done with a lockout looming is something Maymon would do.
Would love to see him stick around for at least a couple years. Cool that Larry is spending time with him.
Go for it.
The NBA lockout will be huge deterrent, imho. Who wants to be known as a "scrub" during the lockout?
I always go to the Badger board for MU news....! :D Talk about making something out of nothing. VB was asked a question and he answered it honestly.
OVER-BLOWN.

WOW!!!! They are f'ing crazy. Talk about making a big deal over nothing!!! If they only knew that Vander is friends with John Wall and Kyrie Irving among others.
Another thing, they said something about lacking of coaching in the developement of James. I dont think that was a issue. The staff did a great job developing Wesley and Lazar. DJ still has a chance of making a nba roster. Bo got a McDonalds all american, red shirted him and how well was he developed??? I think Butchy was the guy pumping my gas last week.
An undersized shooting guard with no outside shot and limited finishing ability?
Yeah. Lottery pick here he comes.
I think its good that he wants to advance to the next level. Better that the 4 (5)(6) year badger players that play in college then take a "junior vp" job slinging IRAs to old people at UW credit union.

Yeah, focus on the couple of negatives vs. his many positives.
This is a funny article. Cool on Larry's part, but Blue a one and done? Honestly? The dude can play don't get me wrong. I know he was a highly touted recruit, but no where in God's name is he a one and done player. If he leaves after one year God bless him..
Nowhere in this article does it say he is leaving...If he goes and explodes, and takes us along for the ride and wants to go pro after that then go ahead. Scottie Reynolds evaluated his prospects a couple times, and came back...Definitely a case of making a big deal out of nothing
I would check out my prospects to make millions of dollars after every season too. It doesn't hurt to be prepared :)

All you prepared dudes still carry a condom in your wallet?
This sounds like exactly the opposite of what's being implied. As we've mentioned, there's a lockout looming, and he'd be dumb to leave. That aside, it sounds like Sanders is helping Blue make a more informed decision. He can go a lot higher if he gives it even one more year here.
I think Vander Blue will be an NBA player in the future. He is not good enough to be a one and done though. So far he has put up good numbers against mostly creampuff teams. Lets at least measure his Big East play before people start thinking about the next level. I think he will be like Lazar Hayward. He will need to play all 4 years to be NBA ready.
Let's face it. If he is good enough to be a one and done he would be playing for Duke or Kentucky right now and not Marquette.
Had a little fun over there (linked the picture of Booker Stanley and the guy he beat the heck out of with the sentence "And how's this for a model student athlete?"):
This is absolutely hilarious to read. I love how UW@Madison fans try to convince people that they are over the fact that Vander is not at UW@Madison and that they are better off without him, yet anytime anything Vander comes up there's a thread on it. This thread is already 3 pages long, weeks after the annual MU vs. UW@Madison game, days before Big 10 (11? 12?) season, and is full of hate for an 18 year old kid because he corrected a decision that he made as a 15 year old child. What a sad world we live in.
It is incredible how people on this board can try to convince themselves that UW@Madison compares to Yale, Harvard, Penn, and the other Ivy League schools, and yet your reading comprehension and analytical skills are so terrible. UW@Madison is ranked the 45th best college in the USA and Marquette University is ranked the 75th best college in the USA. Reading this forum and your elitist attitudes would make it seem like we're talking about a top 5 university compared to a university ranked in the 400s. It's especially funny because UW@Madison is a large public school that is funded by the taxpayers, while Marquette is a private school, and yet the gap is so small. Not to mention, UW@Madison is ranked that high NOT because of their undergraduate education, but because of the research opportunities provided to their graduate programs. The undergraduate programs at each school are virtually the same. And the funniest part about this whole thing is that I would be willing to put money on the fact that 85% of the people that post on here never set foot on UW@Madison as a student in their life and went to some UW@Extension (Whitewater, Eau Claire, etc.) and thus "identify" with the Badgers. Hilarious.
This article is about the relationship that Vander has formed with a young NBA player who has recently gone through what he will be going through for the next few years of his life. Since when should this be considered a BAD thing to find a mentor who a person can look up to for help in a similar situation to what he will soon be in? So Vander should NOT seek the advice and help of others in the profession that he some day dreams to be in? None of you ever seeked professional advice in your life? Interesting.
This is also an article written ABOUT Vander and his relationship with Sanders, not BY Vander Blue. Vander did not call a press conference to declare that he was leaving for the NBA before conference play began in his freshman year of college. He was asked a question and gave an honest answer. If you can't figure that out, then this is where the analytical skill problems come in with you people. Who wouldn't evaluate their draft status after the season is over? Evaluating his draft status can be as simple as asking himself "Am I good enough to get looked at by NBA scouts or not?" and answering "No" and moving on. By saying that he will evaluate his draft status he is NOT saying that he will hire an agent and get drafted, and I'm not quite sure how you come to this conclusion by the quote that he gave AS AN ANSWER TO REPORTERS (this is where the reading comprehension problems come in with you people). None of you ever evaluated whether or not you could find yourself a better position to be in? I feel bad for you, then. Whether Vander will ever be good enough to play in the NBA or not is still to be seen, but even if he isn't, he will make money playing somewhere in Europe, so basketball is the profession that he has chosen to pursue. To give anything less than he can to that goal and to not seek advice from those who are in the same field that he will be would be a major mistake.
And let me get this straight, any student-athlete who considers going pro in his or her respective sport before he or she graduates does not care about academics, according to you people? Really? Hmm, that is a very interesting conclusion to come to. Well, Devin Harris, one of your own beloved Badgers, left after his junior year and did not receive his degree. He must not have been very into his academics at UW@Madison. And to think the all-holy UW@Madison would take a player like that... And let me guess, Andrew Luck, a projected top 3 pick in the NFL draft (probably number 1) is considering leaving Stanford early to go to the NFL. He, a guy with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 in Engineering at Stanford, must not be much into the academic part of student-athlete...I mean, if he's considering leaving college early then he can't be. What an absolute joke you people are. But yeah, definitely, student-athletes at UW@Madison are held to much higher standards than any other student-athletes. Just ask John Clay, the guy who couldn't even stay eligible at the AMAZING Racine Park High School (LOL!) and yet is an HONOR STUDENT at UW@Madison! Hilarious! And how's this for a model student athlete? That man couldn't go to UW@Madison, they're all Saints, especially their student athletes! By the way, can Ron Dayne even read what his awards and trophies say? I didn't think so.
Was that Brian Butch who put my Big Mac into it's box on the 2000 block of Broadway in Madison?! Talk about the great development of players by Saint Bo! Man, that guy must've been the first ever McDonald's All American to end up actually working AT a McDonald's, and he even had FIVE years of college to develop his game! He legitimately got worse in college!
I suppose I will now be booted for life from this forum, because anybody who brings some perspective to this insane board is Satan, so my one post and one thread of reading was an awesome time. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! In all seriousness, though, please continue to make threads bashing the local talent. Marquette enjoys reaping the benefits of your idiocy. Welcome to Marquette University, Wesley Matthews/Vander Blue...heck, even Jeronne Maymon did us some good by bringing Vander Blue into the program. Ironic how I can't remember the last Milwaukee boy that both Marquette and UW@Madison were interested in ended up at UW@Madison. Probably Devin Harris. Stay classy, UW@Madison!
Holy cow wades...1,127 words. :o
Vander Blue is a very good college freshman basketball player. Vander should continue to grow as a person and player during his four years at Marquette. We encourage him to stay until graduation; enjoy college life; grow as a person. The NBA will be there in four years. Have fun playing college ball now.

What the hell do Booker Stanley's problem's from seven years ago have to do with Vander Blue having no chance of playing in the NBA till after his senior season? Since you must like Stanley so much, you'll be happy to know he turned his life around after what he did. Just won a national championship with UW-Whitewater and will graduate this year.
As for the actual subject of Blue.. wow where to start.
Size: 6'4 180 lbs (wet and wearing boots maybe) regardless, that's tiny.

Blue is a nice player, would have liked him at UW. However I think Gasser is a better fit, same with Blue and Marquette.
But honestly dude, posting booker stanley pictures on a message board? get a life...

No one on the Badger boards actually read the article, or if they did, they didn't understand it.
I think VB is a great talent but are these evaluations legit? I just don't see him as that high of a prospect considering his lack of a jump shot. Either way I hope when he looks in his refrigerator that it isn't as empty as Jim Chones and sticks around for a while, but if the kid has the opportunity to be a lottery pic he'd be foolish not to take it.
Vander has along way to go before he thinks he will be playing in the NBA. He has obvious skills, but lets see
how he plays in the Big East. He has done nothing to show me he is special on Offense. The NBA is all about
offense as most players learn how to play D, particularly after they see a few checks from the league. Dwade
and Wes played D in college, then they learned O in the league. Vander will get better and better as he gets
older, but if he can not score in double figures at MU, he would be hard pressed to score in double figures in
the NBA. A GM would be fried if they took on a 10 point scorer in the first round. That is how you lose your
job. If he can score 15 or more next year (do not see it with the talent coming back) then all of us would be
impressed. If he went to Wisky he would of had a harder time scoring, playing in the 60's per game with truly
rock solid offensive players like Leuer and Taylor.
I agree that Vander is not ready for the NBA, and who knows, he may never be. He has the tools to get there, it'll come down to his hard work. The point of my post was to point out how ridiculous the thread was considering he gave an honest answer to a journalist asking a question. He did not write an article himself, and he did not come out and say he was going to test the draft waters after this year.

What does it have to do with this? Well, considering that the entire thread over at the Badger scout forum is about how much better UW@Madison is of a school than Marquette and how the student-athletes at UW@Madison are held to a higher standard than student-athletes at any other school, and how people are taking their shots at the JUCO players on Marquette's team, who have never had a history of any legal problems (the 1 who did didn't even make it to Marquette's campus), I think it's a pretty good way to put things into perspective. Unless Booker Stanley didn't go to UW@Madison...then I guess I'm just confused... ::)
You aren't holier than anybody over there at UW@Madison, and your sh!t does stink, too.
What are the numbers, Chicos? 46 or so NCAA infractions by UW@Madison, compared to 0 for Marquette?
wades...why do you get so worked up ini a lather over what they are saying on the UW boards? Do you think your rants over here are going to change anyone's minds?
BTW, I know a number of UW fans who certainly do wish that they had Blue in their backcourt instead of Gasser. The two are not comperable.

Haha I'm just having fun with it. I know for certain that I will not be changing anybody's minds over there. I just think it's hilarious that so many people are freaking out over a 2 sentence answer made by a kid that they hate because he changed a decision that he made as a 15 year old.
What this article is really about to MU fans is the fact that sharing an NBA arena with Bucks is a nice sell to a recruit. Every little bit helps...

Dwade does not have a degree from MU. Wiscy fans still do not want to compare graduation rates, though.
This is the 2010 release of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports on graduation rates for Men's Basketball programs in the NCAA tournament.
http://www.tidesport.org/Grad%20Rates/2010_Mens_Bball_PR.pdf
MU has a 100% graduation rate the past 4 years (2004‐05, 2005‐06, 2006‐07, and 2007‐08 academic year).
UW-Madison graduates 78% of their basketball student-athletes. 100% of their white players and 60% of their black players.

Correct. We also do not have Phys. Ed. classes such as bowling (Maymon) or badminton, which are found at basically every big state school. Sure, we have a few less difficult classes/majors (Communication Studies maybe), but those are actual legit majors that do prepare you for a job and have non-athlete students in them.

Boom! Roasted!
IIRC, the only player in the last decade to be academically ineligible was Blackledge. And, moreover, IIRC, he was eligible by NCAA standards, but not by Crean's. Buzz makes the whole team run if there is an unexused absence from a single class by a single player. He requires his players to sit in front and talk to the prof every class. With all of that said, it is still possible to skate through and stay academically eligible with a 2.0, just as it is possible to graduate from college with a 2.0. But keep trying buckyboy. Knock knock. Who's there? Owen. Owen who? Owen 5 on New Years day.
