Jake Thomas Transferring

Goddamn it! I obviously have another Milwaukee sports legend on my mind. Jake Taylor was the catcher in "Major League."

Oh, the Milwaukee Indians?

We need an "aircraft carrier" if Otule isn't coming back. Stone is 2 seasons away. I hope their is one available that can play immediately. Hopefully Otule comes back.

Hopefully Otule comes back then we snag a top-flight JUCO 5 to bridge the one-year gap before Stone.

Fair.  More of a scorer than a shooter.  Still...33% would have been 2nd best on the team.

But that was at a Junior College, would probably translate to 25%'ish in the Big East.  Cadougan shot something like 40-42% in High School from 3, big difference at the Div. 1 level.  Game moves much faster.

Likely why TJT was on the first Bus out of town.

Junior guard Jake Thomas has asked for his release and it was granted by Marquette University. Thomas arrived on campus as a walk-on and was awarded a scholarship the last two seasons because the program had one available below the NCAA maximum of 13.

The Racine, Wis., native wasn't going to receive a scholarship in 2013-14 based on the size of the current incoming recruiting class.

"We are gr...ateful for all the energy and work Jake put in our program while he was here," head coach Buzz Williams said. "He was a great teammate, and I am thankful for my relationship with Jake and his entire family. As a graduate student, he is looking for a new opportunity, and we are all in complete support of that."

"My decision wasn't based on whether or not I had a scholarship for next season," Thomas said. "Buzz had explained to me when I first got here that a scholarship for my third year was unlikely. I just want to have my last year of college basketball be at a program where I can play significant minutes and contribute to a team.

"My two years at MU have been some of the best of my life and I have loved the opportunity to be closer to my family, Thomas added. "All of the coaches at MU have been helpful during this process and understand my situation."

Such puts to rest the lame rumor that he felt it was unfair he wouldn't have a scholarship, and leaves the sensible explanation.  Thanks, Jake.

I now understand what Buzz was hoping for from JT
