Brett Roseboro no longer attending Marquette?

[ChicosBailBonds]

I don't put in much stock with what most HS/Prep/AAU coaches say.  In this instance, the coach at Quakerstate is the one with the inflammatory quotes and Brett makes simple, professional statements. 

Looks like we're out of the Quakertown recruiting pipeline. 

Brett, best of luck.

The coach also references that Brett told him those things.  Maybe the coaches are lying?  Or maybe Brett did say those things to them and now with the need to acquire a new scholarship he's playing it straight down the middle.

Mort wasn't in that class.  Mort was with the Amigos, Burke and Lott.  During that era it went:

2003: MJax, Bell, Christian, Mason, James Matthews
2004: Ammo, Barro, Kinsella, Niv
2005: Amigos, Mortensen, Burke, Lott

Sorry, it gets confusing with all the transfers.  Ooze was in the class right after Matthews, because he took Matthews scholie.  When Ooze committed, it put Marquette one over the limit.  The question was where the scholie was coming from.  Then Matthews got kicked off the team.  

Honestly, I am not sure what year Berkowitz arrived, and he was hardly around long enough to celebrate a Sabbath on campus before heading back to Israel, but as I recall, it was in the middle of the year and he came in at the semester.

No, the coach merely says that this is what the coaches told Roseboro, not that Roseboro repeated the conversation to him.  He is not quoting Roseboro.  He is offering his own memory of events.  This is a coach who has never had a D-1 recruit before.  It was a big deal at his HS.  It blew up.  The coaches are disappointed and talking about how unfair it is.  It reflects poorly on them, or at least they do not get the chance to say they sent a kid to a Big East school.  The coaches say some other stupid things.  One says he knew this wasn't going to work because he has seen Big East basketball and he knows what it takes to compete with those players!  Does he think the Marquette coaches hadn't?  That they did not have an idea of what it takes?  That they are unaware of the talent in their own conference?

I think what happened here is that a kid got a better offer than he expected.   He jumped at it.  He found out that this is pretty tough, and he will not get a lot of playing time.  He decided to go somewhere else.  Not a big deal, he is not mad at the coaches, just wants to try something else and go somewhere he will be more comfortable.  Parsing words from second hand sources is silly.

Buzz is and will continue to recruit.  In the Charlotte Observer today a story on David Chadwick Jr. who signed to play at Wash. St. under Tony Benett.  When Bennett bolted to VA he left Chadwick in the dust.  Chadwick will play for Hargrave Military Academy this year but in the article he says Marquette had contacted him about pursuing a last minute scholarship for this school year....

To finish this story properly (from The Charlotte Observer) this young man said "thanks, but no thanks" to MU, Memphis and New Mexico offers to play this year.

I doubt we pursued that hard with a last minute offer...that guy looks like a darker version of BR.

Except this guy is fielding offers from teams > St. Bonaventure.

Yeah, that was my general take, it wasn't so much a recruiting class after ous/ammo anymore, just the Revolving Door Syndrome (i did like the little bit we saw of Niv, mortensen was just kind of "there", idk)
