Just saw DaShonte Riley

[GGGG]

This shameless cutting of class is disgusting. Back in the day we were expected to be in class and were held accountable. Fr Raynor must be spinning in his grave at this disturbing erosion of discipline.

Back in the day we had reserved seats.

The Al is a unbelievable facility, but a lot of work has been done to the Old Gym since the Al was built.  A lot of athletes still workout and train at the Old Gym...the golf facility they have down there now is pretty sweet.

We had reserved seats, and with the exception of UNC in 86, never had a top team come to our gym.  (84-88)   And we would have been terrified when they did, especially in 87 and 88.

Yeah, that wouldn't be a bad face to see the first time I came to campus.

So that's what people do with a Journalism and Anthropology degree these days...

We had reserved seats back in the day, but we had to camp out for a week in October - missed a few classes that week, but the profs kind of expected it, plus we helped each other out with the homework we missed....

[Hey DeDe]

I am at the game in the student section right now and a "We Want Riley" chant is being planned.

[nyg]

He's with his mother, so "We want Riley, and Mom"

[Hey DeDe]

A good portion of the lower bowl LOUDLY chanted "We Want Riley" as he entered the stadium. It was perfect!

The kid we were chanting to wasn't Riley fyi

WTF.   Nice Job Fellas, just don't tell me they were chanting at OOze.

There were a few times it was started but the last time, when the most students joined in, it definitely was him. I saw him earlier, around 3, at the Al as well.  Smiled a bit as he walked by listening to it too.

[LovinCrowder]

The student section was pretty loud in shouting his name as he walked by....he walked by our section which is right behind the visitor's bench and we (the adults) were all yelling at him, telling him to please come to Marquette and how we all want him.......If I were a recruit I would have been extremely impressed with the game and everything associated with it. 

[Thomas' Danish Delight]

If I'm Riley, I'm looking at tonight's game thinking:

"If they had someone that could block or alter shots and grab some rebounds, Marquette would have won this game.  They need someone just like me."

[ChuckyChip]

MUTV interviewed Riley at halftime - hopefully that video will be posted soon.

...um... what?  Seriously?  I'm praying you meant to use teal.

Are you going to call all the students "hooligans" and "whippersnappers" now?

[mucrew08]

It was pretty cool to see DaShonte and his moms faces' when we were chanting. He walked out of the tunnel and seemed a little shocked and then cracked a smile. Great job by the students for starting that chant.

I wont be disappointed when he commits to Syracuse.

Brilliant post.  Some things are better to keep to yourself.  There are plenty of people here that would love to have Riley commit to MU!

Poorly worded I guess, my bad...but what excites you about him?


This class needs another guard.  I will be excited about a Riley commitment, if it is accompanied by a commitment from another guard.

I did get an interview with DaShonte at halftime. I just finished up my day's classes, and I'm heading over to cut up the interview and post it soon.

You're kidding, right? It couldn't be more obvious from last night's game, this team needs tall timber in the worst way to impact the BE. I'd gladly welcome Riley over any others still on the board.

This team is going to need another guard, more than a "tall timber" that has his share of red flags...

Size wont be an issue next year, or the follwing years. Guard depth will be.

I will trust Buzz and his staff, but I would much rather see a guard like Darius Smith than Riley.

[Marquette_g]

I don't see the guard problem next year:

PG - Mo, Cubes, Junior
SG - Buycks, Williams

I think adding more guys who are 6'11" with high ceilings is a smart way to go.

Let me fix that for you:
PG - Mo, Junior
SG - Buycks, Cubillian

You would be confident going forward with that?

[Marquette65]

Guys--- YES we need bigs but,based on those who have signed, we need a guard in the worse way.  The college game is a GUARD game.  If anything has been proved this year, its that CUBES is not in the mix.  He never was a point guard and now that he has lost his shot, has no position.

WE NEED A GUARD
