Durley Committed to Marquette

Written by: noreply@blogger.com (Alan Bykowski)

A false report surfaced on Twitter and a few other websites today  reporting that 2012 Marquette commit Aaron Durley was planning to head  to a Junior College in 2012 instead of enrolling at Marquette. Mark  Strotman over at Paint Touches was quick to investigate this report and  get quotes from the Durley family, including Aaron himself, that  disputed this report. Here are a few of the highlights:

“This  article is far from true,” Durley said in an email. “From the  horse’s  mouth, I assure you that I will be at Marquette University in  the  fall.”

Durley’s mother informed the Marquette  coaching staff after the  original report was published, saying that  neither she nor Aaron would  do or say anything negative or hurtful  toward Marquette. “I have never waivered on Aaron’s decision to attend Marquette,” Dana [Durley] said. “He is fully committed.”Good  news for the Marquette faithful that the 6'11" center will be enrolling  in 2012.
