Markus Howard excited to join Marquette



Markus Howard, a 5-foot-11, 185-pound guard from Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., joined the Marquette men's basketball team by signing his national letter of intent on Wednesday morning.

Doesn't he know we just signed a 6'6" senior wing to take his spot on the roster?

The only thing I wonder is whether NCAA clearance will be an issue with Howard reclassifying to 2016.

I wouldn't expect problems.  Looks like all credits are taken care of except for one online English course, which I expect he had good guidance about.  Nice to see a hoops player taking AP courses in HS.

This was a case where our quality academics at MU may have helped us. Markus is a good student and certainly had to be aware MU was a much better institution academically than the others he was considering.

I know this was a dumb comment made by whoever made it, but I feel like I don't open a thread without it being mocked.  The dead horse isn't only being beaten, but we've put him in sunglasses and dragged around a vacation and Weekend At Bernie's style.

That's reassuring to hear. From the outside looking in, the NCAA clearance process is an unpredictable free-for-all.

Once he found out he couldn't qualify for admission at UW-Madison, he was all ours.
