Welcome to MU, young man.    Theo John and Ike Eke should (A) give us lots of fun saying their names and (B) give us welcome size and athleticism.    Having two guys the same size to beat on each other can only help both of them.

I know.  When the Wright situation became clear relative to his Dayton visit this past weekend this really became pretty easy to figure out.

He appears to be the kind of 4-5 MU has been unable to land this millennium.   6'9 banger, defender, glue guy.     The kind of guy that always seems to dominate against MU.

I hope Wojo had a very nice visit with the family today.  I'm confident there were hugs all around as well as a nice family chat about what it means to be a Warrior and what's expected of him inside the classroom and on the court during his Senior year. Hopefully his schedule will allow him to come for Madness and some games this year. Maybe hang with the fellas some.  Bunk with his buddy Sacar.

I thought I saw that he was going to reach out to DWade directly to ask permission.  If Wade explicitly says yes, it would be kind of dickish for the university to say no IMO.

It's kind of dickish for Theo to ask, isn't it?  Gotta respect the process of numbers being retired and the accomplishments of DWade in getting his number retired, hey?

Eh.  He's a 17-18 year old.  He likes the number and perhaps feels he is honoring him.
Title: Re: Welcome to Marquette Theo John
Post by: tower912 on September 15, 2016, 01:44:31 PM
No.   It is a number last worn by a player at MU when Theo was 4 years old.   DWade is cool.   And it never hurts to ask. 
Title: Re: Welcome to Marquette Theo John
Post by: cheebs09 on September 15, 2016, 01:48:17 PM
Plus, MU left this door cracked open By saying it is jerseys and not numbers that are retired. You'd think this came up in the recruiting process. Especially since he brought up the policy of retired uniforms. I really hope we don't go through this again.

Agreed.  I don't think it's that big a deal but I suspect it'll go away quietly and he'll end up with something like #43. (#43 isn't retired, is it?)

Post by: Frenns Liquor Depot on September 15, 2016, 02:31:03 PM
MU has been so inconsistent here that the existing 'rule' sounds just fine. Protects making the #24 error once again.

Here are the gaff's I see
1. Maurice Lucas number used by multiple players including novak- why did it take until 2006 to retire his 'jersey'
2. 24 seems to be taken by a new recruit once with every new coach
3. 31 retired twice

I am sure retiring 11 sounded good at the time, but it seems silly to take that out of the rotation too.   

Title: Re: Welcome to Marquette Theo John
Post by: LAMUfan on September 15, 2016, 02:35:38 PM

Lucas went pro early. Prior to Wade, I believe MU would not retire a number for a player that did not graduate.
