Brett Roseboro no longer attending Marquette?

[hoyasincebirth]

This is from twitter:

NorthstarBball: Again, according to a source close to the situation, Brett Roseboro '09 from Quakertown (PA) is no longer going to be attending Marquette.

Don't shoot the messenger. Are there any legs to this story? Doesn't sound like he's a huge loss, but just thought you'd like to know. Sorry if this info is already well known

[Tommy Brice for Coach]

Wow, hoping this isn't true. He's already been on campus and practicing, right? If we run him off right before class starts to bring in someone new, thats a classless move on our part.

I'lll believe when I hear it from someone in the program, no offense Hoya.

Even if this was true, we have no reason to "run him off" to "bring in someone new" because we have an extra scholarship to give.  And this could also be Roseboro's deal...he may not have felt comfortable after being here during the summer.  Again that is IF THIS IS TRUE.

[MUfan12]

It's true.

Wonder if it was homesickness, or he saw the opportunity for PT being small. Does this cost him a year of eligibility if he finds another D1 school?

[{Juggernaut}]

Do we know the story behind this situation?

This seems very interesting to me that he would leave two weeks before the start of the semester

[bilsu]

It would not cost him a year of eligiblity, but he would have to sit out a year.
Basically since he was admitted we could not take away his scholarship until after his freshmen year. So this has to be his decision. If true, I think it is just a sign that he felt he would never play here.

It's confirmed by IWB.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

we should stone him like Mbakwe.

[Thomas' Danish Delight]

Dang...I was hoping the kid could come in and prove a bunch of us wrong.

I wonder what happens now...any new word on Khalil?

[GGGG]

Dang...I was hoping the kid could come in and prove a bunch of us wrong.

I was thinking the same thing.  His signing was greeted pretty negatively.  Down to 11 scholarship players.  Boy I hope Mbao doesn't get dinged for the amateurism issue.

Guys, from day 1 this situation had Kevin Menard redux written all over it.  I'm sorry, but this was a recruiting mistake by Buzz, and it's obvious Brett was in over his head.  I'll eat my words if he goes on to be a nice player somewhere else, but this is exactly why you don't evaluate and offer a guy in 3-4 weeks time that wasn't even on your radar before, especially if that player is being looked at by schools like Rider, Quinnipiac, etc.  Some lower level D1 programs were looking, but to my knowledge none had even offered a scholarship.

I'm glad the mistake was a minor one though, and I wish Brett all the luck wherever he lands.

it would have been nice if this was decided (it it could have been) a while back.
Although even if we don't fill the spot, it opens a scholarship for next year which might be more useful than having Roseboro for this season...

[tower912]

Brett, if you have decided that MU is not the best fit for you, then good luck and God bless.     Hopefully, you can find an institution of higher learning that is a good fit for you.   If this turns out to be hokum, then welcome to MU and sorry that you had to go through this internet rumor. 

[TallTitan34]

When is the last day the spot can be filled?

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.  When it was announced, many said "who?"  He was a one star recruit by some services and two stars at others. Then the typical comments that he was a diamond in the rough, etc, etc, started coming out.  And this wasn't even a late signing mistake.

Recruiting mistakes happen, that will never change...whether it's Buzz, Crean, Al Mcguire.  But it's ok, we can just go down to the corner big man store and pick up a 5 star big man.  It's easy to get quality big men.

Huh - Roseboro seems like a good kid - I can only wish him well, and hope he finds something that fits him better.

[nyg]

Rider or Quinniapac would probably be a better fit for him. If true, wish him the best, now bring on Trae Golden.

I had a feeling Brett wasn't going to make it at MU when I read he was the first kid from his conference ever to receive a D-I scholarship. Agree totally with mufan2 that this was a Kevin Menard/Bart Miller signing. Hope he does well wherever he winds up.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

The Beast is no longer gonna be at MU!?!?! I'm gonna miss all the endless Roseboro jokes that would have happened.

[Boone]

That's right. When asked in that youtube video to describe his game he said he was a "Beast." Yeah...ahhh...not quite, Brett. Still, good luck to him. Seems like he knew he was over his head, so he made a smart decision to opt out.

I wouldn't put Bart Miller on that level.  He may not have turned out to be good, but he had a lot of accolades coming out of high school.

[Jay Bee]

Good luck, Brent.

Will we get a true read on what happened?  i.e., from Brett, Buzz, or others?  Or will this be left to speculation?
