Per Matt Gravett, Malek Harris expected to follow Buzz to VT
A given considering he never signed with us.
-
Good. Didn't he assault some girl at the HS he was going to? And he was suspended from playing basketball his senior year?
That kid made me squirm more than Todd Mayo.
-
Perfect.
Have to imagine this was orchestrated for awhile. Harris was never coming to MU, but Buzz kept him on the line.
-
Malek Harris ... Please contact Jermaine Rivers. He left Georgetown to follow Crean to IU in the early years.
Ask him how it feels to be 10 - 22 playing against uninterested crowds no larger than your high school?
Mr. Harris, this is the life you chose.

I actually think he was suspended for two years.... Can anyone confirm?

Or Krunti Hester, who followed Mike Deane to Lamar.
Or Maurice Creek (transferred to GW), who followed Crean to Indiana.

Half of his junior year, all of his senior year. Separate incidents.

He'll fit in just fine

Did anybody actually think he'd set foot on MU's campus for his freshman yr?

Doc Rivers had something to do with JEREMIAH Rivers transferring to IU. They finished 12th in attendance nationally in Rivers senior year.

Wait? Buzz still wants Malek? But, maybe, MU didn't?
A grown man wouldn't pout and then run off to a clearly worse job just because his bosses won't let him hire who he wants, right? No respect. No love. Doesn't MU appreciate what Buzz did?
We are getting warmer. Buzz believes he earned the right to take chances on guys Malek. After the last few year's issues, some more public than others, maybe MU felt that he had lost that privilege. That makes Buzz sad. Unloved. Unappreciated. Disrespected.
Voila! Virginia Tech.

I wish the young man well.

Nick Williams also followed Crean to I4 and then transferred to Ole Miss.

He was never coming to Marquette.

We recruited Creek at MU but he never committed here verbally or otherwise.

Bingo. I am sure Buzz was thrilled about that, too.
Buzz is an egomaniac, like most head coaches, or quite frankly, like most successful individuals and executives. Its no big deal; goes with being the top dog. But, part of Buzz's shtick and ego is that he feels he, and maybe he alone, can save kids that need saving, ala Todd Mayo. He has said that numerous times about his players.
Malek may be in need of saving; his last two years are indicative of that need. Buzz, I am sure, did not appreciate being told he wouldn't be provided the opportunity to provide that saving. So, he took his ball and went home. A very crummy, Blacksburg home.
-
This should probably give everyone some insight into Buzz's state of mind.

The USAF has the highest standards for personnel. The Army, Navy, and USMC are full of people the AF would never touch. And frankly, I took great pride and comfort knowing my fellow airmen were the best. The guy fixing my jet was someone I was proud to serve with.
Marquette must maintain standards at intake in order to ensure its community is the best it can be. A guy who lights a woman's hair on fire should not be allowed anywhere near the Marquette campus. If BW feels that maintaining such standards is hampering his ability to win then perhaps he needs to reassess how or why he wants to win in that way.
I am thankful BW is now VPI's problem. If VPI wants to allow someone like Malek Harris to represent them that is their business. The good news is that BW is gone. Aim High, Marquette!

Yes, he repeatedly said he was against him leaving Georgetown but could not stop him.

This pretty well sums it up, I think. Now, MU know full well what they were getting into regarding 'taking chances' and were complicit in the beginning...it's frankly why Buzz was hired. Given certain events, things needed to change/be tightened up. Buzz didn't like it/didn't like being told what to do, etc., but lets be honest, MU's hands aren't completely clean in this whole thing either.
-
We recruited Creek at MU but he never committed here verbally or otherwise.
He didn't commit to the university (that is different) but he did associate himself closely with Crean:
"WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS WERE INTERESTED HIM?:
Tom Crean recruited and offered Maurice Creek when he was at Marquette and so it wasn't that surprising when Creek followed Crean to Indiana with his commitment on May 4, 2008. A little over a month earlier, Crean had been named the new coach at Indiana. Creek became his third committed recruit."

And now, with an AD in his pocket, he will be given more freedom.
Unfortunately for him, he's now at a public institution where the rules and regs work differently than in a private one. MU could keep problems internally as they were private; now, EVERYTHING will be open.
-
VT only has two seniors on their team with 3 committed recruits. Not sure what the scholarship situation is. But expect an upheaval to occur between our programs.

That's exactly how I remember it. He never committed here. We recruited him here but he committed to IU after Crean left. There is a difference in my mind.

You're right. He didn't commit.
I was drawing a comparison to recruits who follow the departing head coach.
But yes, he didn't commit.

Cool. Uncommitted but recruited is less dastardly in my mind. Although Harris was probably never coming to MU anyway, unlike someone like Nick Williams. Turns out Williams was no great loss, remains to be seen on Harris. If he can avoid suspension he'll likely fit Buzz' system well.

Could care less

Just as an FYI that's not official, that was a predicton by Gavett on twitter

Nothing like trashing a top 100 recruit who may still want to come to MU. I'd love Harris to end up here.
-
I never thought Harris should come here. However, the reason why, given his history, is that I figured he would not last much past boot camp. Will see how long he lasts at Virginia Tech. I hope Malek succeeds, but I still think he does not have what it takes. Of course that is my opinion without ever meeting the young man.

No kidding. Some real loudmouths around these parts the past 20 hours. Malek, hope to see if you in an MU uni.

If you don't understand the Malek Harris story then you won't understand the BW saga.

Buzz is really going to need to light a fire under his ass. I'm sure VT boot camp will be even harder!

This is all mental masturbation. You and BW want Harris in a Marquette uniform. People who run the university, not the basketball team, have standards for the character of those allowed to matriculate at Marquette. I am firmly on the side of expectations and principle.
BW felt this policy affected his ability to win. The real issue is at what cost should one be allowed to win? Marquette made the correct decision and I applaud their integrity.
-

Yup. And that's why Buzz is taking Malek with him.
Anyone?
-
word is he is fired up to be at VT
-
Yup. And that's why Buzz is taking Malek with him.
Anyone?
Malek Harris had a burning desire to play for BW. Unfortunately, the MU administration extinguished those dreams, leaving Harris to smolder this past year.
Perhaps BW's departure is the spark of renewal that fan the flames of aspiration?
-
Did anyone tell him that the "tech" in Virginia Tech stands for polytechnic, not pyrotechnic
-
This is pathetic. Trashing a 17 year old kid. Malek, most of the fanbase would love to see you here. Good luck w your decision
-

Some of the fan base, perhaps. The real question is will Marquette's administration accept him? They are the gate keepers in this discussion. As I say, if you understand the Malek Harris case then you will understand why BW is no longer the coach at Marquette.

Matt just predicted that Harris might follow Buzz to VT.........nothing has happened as of yet......

I've never served in the military and wouldn't pretend to know, but I'm pretty sure every service member thinks that of whatever branch they serve in

There is empiricism behind this. ASVAB scores, criminal waivers, etc... Ask anyone who has served and they will tell you the USAF has the most stringent standards. This goes back to the founding of the old AAC and is also due to the technical nature of the mission. USAF doesn't need grunts.

No doubt. The Navy has some of the toughest enlisted programs in the world because of nuclear propulsion systems and special weapons.
But a Navy warship is a floating city and many menial tasks are required to make that city function. As a result, the navy has many rates that do not require a significant amount of training or expertise. The USAF has no such requirements so on the whole the USAF has the highest standards for entry.

Irregardless of wrong words we knew what Murs meant.
Irregardless may be my least favorite "word" ever. However, it does appear in most modern dictionaries, thereby confirming my suspicion that the English language is slowly being destroyed.
If irregardless means without regard, what does regardless mean?

Irrespective of application, the irregular use of irregardless does not make it an actual word.

We will find out two years from now that Buzz illegally recruited Harris.

Absolutely correct.
