Who would be on that Top 10 list for basketball?
Mbakwe?
Odartey?
Karon Bradley?
We've been pretty fortunate on the receiving end, no?
Maymon has been very good, as he would have been had he stayed
Does Newbill count?
Maymon's developed into a solid player, when healthy.
Alton Mason was good at Arizona State.
Shannon Smith had a nice career at UWM and almost played in the league.
DeMarcus Minor had a good two years at Baylor.
Christopherson had a nice career at ISU.
ps. Don't think you can count Newbill...he never attended MU. If you count him you would have to count Ty Taylor too.......
Ron Howard's earning a NBDL paycheck.

Did he quit directing?
In recent memory I'd have to say Mbakwe. One of the top rebounders around
Mbakwe could be a NBA player, so that's one.
Christopherson was on a all Big 12 team twice
Maymon
Blankson
Shannon Smith
What did Ellenson do at UW-madison?
Brandon Bell? Charles Brakes? Jeff Zavada? Keith Stewart? Gerald Posey?
Crean
As soon as I saw who had the last post, I knew the punchline.
Krunti Hester? ;)
Gerald Posey
Yeah I'd have to say Trevor
I'd say Christopherson. He was going nowhere fast on the MU roster, once he transferred he had a very nice career at Iowa State.
All of the rest of the answers would have been about as good at MU as they were elsewhere; Christopherson improved his situation by transferring IMO.
Brett Roseboro
I agree that DJ Newbill doesn't count, but dang it would be nice to have him on our team this year.
- Mbakwe
- Maymon
- Christopherson
- Blankson
- Shannon Smith
- Ron Howard
- Karon Bradley (http://basketball.realgm.com/player/Karon-Bradley/Summary/6187)
- Alton Mason (http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nba/alton-mason-net-worth/)
- Any more pre-KO kids?

I'm pretty sure that Brandon Bell self destructed, and both Charles Brakes and Keith Stewart had little success elsewhere.

If we are going the Newbill approach then Tyshawn Taylor tops the list.

Wasn't there another Mason who transferred on Crean after having a nice freshman year? From the Chicago area, IIRC.

Did Krunti Hester even enroll? Or did he not come when Deane got canned?

I like a kid name Ronald ...whatshisname played at Valparasio and got an invite from an NBA team...recently after all these years.
Oh yeah, Ron Howard? Is that his name? I have watched him bounce around the D-League for years now. Works hard and plays both ends.
I like his game. Good young man too. I met him briefly on campus. 6'5 and can play...

But he didn't do too well at LSU. Look at his dismal senior year. 7 games!

ODB's was the most painful and in deference to Todd Townsend, ODB probably had the highest WAR (Wins Above Replacement) of any transfer.
Here is another way to look at that question. Which transfer was best for Marquette basketball? In other words, which not-so-great player transferred out and freed up a schollie for a much better player?

Part of this is because he had a viral infection in the muscles around the heart. Tough way to end a career.

I am not sure what "WAR is, but it may be impossible to calculate. The first year after ODB we were 27-6 and there is no way to determine what our record would have been if ODB had stayed. It is easy to assume we would have been better, but that is not an actual fact. For example we beat Missouri in overtime, because Novak drilled some timely threes. Had ODB stayed he may of been in the game at that time and we would of nver gotten to overtime. Of course you can argue that with ODB we would not of needed novak's three's to win, but everything would of changed if ODB stayed.

Dameon Mason had *edit - it appears he was declared academicly ineligible at LSU* He was supposed to be pretty good and seemed to have the talent.
Ryan Amoroso also had some success after leaving MU... perhaps not an outstanding college career, but he still plays professionally overseas.

Who the hell was Marshall Williams? Never see anything posted about him as a TT guy, let alone playing.
Carlton Christian. Seemed like he had an upside that could have been realized a few years down the road.
Hazel had a couple good years after MU.
Damian Saunders in the Duquesne Run-and-gun offense.
Matt Mortensen. Could have started a luge team:

Damian Saunders was not a transfer. He was dropped after a drug offense his senior year of HS which conveniently bailed Crean out of a oversigning situation.

He transferred out, willingly or not.

He never showed up at MU -- so he was never technically a transfer.

Old Fart to remember...
The last two Marquette football players to appear in the NFL were Minnesota Viking safety Karl Kassulke, who transferred to Drake University after Marquette dropped football and who entered the NFL in 1963, and Dallas Cowboy defensive lineman, George Andrie, who remained at Marquette for his senior year after the school dropped football and was then drafted by the Cowboys. Both Kassulke and Andrie appeared in the Pro Bowl during their careers—Andrie did so on five occasions–and both appeared in the Super Bowl, albeit on the losing side. Both players retired after the 1972 season.
NIV BERKOWITZ!!!
Joe Nethen to Slippery Rock I think (but ended up returning as a student).

Think Andrie actually scored a defensive TD in the Super Bowl.
