If only some of our guys could get the same message Dwyane got from his 13 year old kid!!
"Hey man, you won't get this message until after your game but i wanna say sum. These last few away games I have been watching to see if I can help you with anything. In the game you struggled you of course shot bad from the (field). The games you played good you got to the bucket. Last night vs. the Bulls was I (think) your best game of the season. When you are attacking the rim that causes (the) defense to suck in and opens up and ones for you, wide open treys for your teammates or etc... all I'm saying is stay on attack mode big dog. When you attack they will play you with a lil extra room so that's when u use that killa instinct and shoot your midrange. And stop being so hard on yourself, most important play for a passion. It seems your playing like someone is making you. No go out there and play like it's your last game of the season and give it all and trust your teammates."
Good Stuff. Kid already gets it!!

Honestly, it seems like Wade really wants his kid to follow him. The hard part is...every kid wants to take their own path. One thing we do know: Wade will always put in a good word for Marquette.
Slightly off topic.
I saw Wes & Jimmy (others I'm sure) on the Marquette Twitter page this season stopping by practice and interacting with the squad.
Has D-Wade visited with the squad since Wojo took over, I presume he has. Hanging with D Wade would be amazing for a teenager, let alone an old fella like myself

Wade is on board.
Sadly, only half a uniform, specifically the top half. Zaire already has IU shorts. He was spotted wearing them at recess.
Even D. Wade saying to have patience.

Tom who? Tom Crean? The guy who will be coaching in the MVC when Zaire starts college?

Tom Coughlin of course.
He was given assurances by every college in the country that he can coach any sport of theirs as long as Zaire Wade is on his roster.
It's been reported for quite a while.

Hell, Too Tanned Tommy might be coaching Zaire's high school team at the rate he's falling.
There's a Zaire highlight video on the front page of ESPN right now.
I am out of touch with Wade's progeny potential....is the kid good?
I feel somewhat sorry for son's of great players....who can possibly live up to that?
You can tell a kid like that wants to be just like his dad. I hope him the best.

Depends on your definition of "great." He played 19 seasons, multiple time All-Pro, and is the third leading tackler in league history.

Didn't Buzz land a commitment from Phil Flory (Wis Rapids then, Oshkosh North currently) as an 7th or 8th grader?
Wonder when Zaire will start getting offers
Jae Crowder > Corey Crowder
I would give up on the idea of Zaire ever playing in a Marquette jersey. I'm pretty sure he is ineligible given the free housing he accepted from Marquette for several months after his birth. I'm sure many will blame Crean for this recruiting violation.

Any chance Dwyane tries to stick it out long enough to play in the NBA with his kid? Based on my math (I think Zaire is 7th grade), the earliest he could make the NBA is the 21-22 season, and even that is assuming he graduates high school in 3 years and is one-and-done. That's 6 more years after this one. Dwyane would be in his 18th season at age 40. Possible?
Very little chance of that happening. Dwayne is banged up pretty bad for his age as is - 6 more years of NBA basketball with the style he plays? Don't see it.

Flory was between his 8th grade and freshman year when he committed in 2013. His star has definitely dimmed as he's been out with an injury all this year and wasn't as good as expected as a sophomore. He will need a big senior year in 2016-17 if he wants a D1 scholarship.
That said, if Zaire is as good in games as he is on mixtapes, he'll likely start getting offers in the next two years.

Thank you! I missed this earlier. What was the connection with Flory? Would have thought Buzz would have offered him at VT once he left

Flory's father played for MU. I believe this was a case where Buzz projected the young man to keep improving as a player. When Wojo got here and saw the kid was not Big East material I am sure there was a very gentle discussion with the parents and the kid. Unfortunately, getting hurt this year didn't help his cause. . He has time to find another home . Has a good jump shot and decent guard size which I am sure a coach somewhere will find appealing. Hopefully it will work out for him.

I am sure if the kid is someone Wojo wants the door would be open. I have thought for a long time the best thing for this kid would be to PG a year at a basketball factory that plays strong competition.
In the last 6-12 months Flory has visited:
ISU
Memphis
Xavier
Vanderbilt
Wisconsin
Northwestern
And 247 has him as top 150 overall. But no offers? Something doesn't add up. I've never seen him play so I have no clue

He's been injured so school may be holding off to see how he bounces back.
Wade's nephew is Dahveon Morris. No idea how good he is at basketball. Can't seem to find anything. Then again, I think he's only 14.

Size and Shooting ability plus on a well respected AAU team means that schools will extend him the courtesy of an unofficial visit. My instinct is that the dream is to play at a high major and they are going after that . It will all come out in the wash when he is healthy . Hopefully the kid tears up the AAU circuit this summer. I feel for the young man, being injured at this juncture is a tough thing to go through.
Here are some highlights. remember they are highlights and don't show the full picture.

Not a Great????. You're talking about a four time Pro Bowler who has the third most tackles in NFL history. NM Sultan got there first. He and Clay III are the only father-son tandem to both be named defensive player of the week in the NFL.
