Never a doubt.

I have to say, I'm impressed. You have been saying Blue to MU for a loooong time.

Buzz won a big recruiting battle and didn't do it under the radar.     So happy to be wrong.   Welcome to MU, Mr. Blue!!!      ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Tremendous, great tenacity by the staff.  Jones, Blue, Cadugan and a bigman for 2010 and the future is looking real good.  Come on Tarik Black, be the bigman and that Black and Blue chant can start.

Williams, Maymon, Buycks, DJO, Blue, Jones, JC....getting ahead of myself, but WOW.

After some tough news the last few months, this is great for the spirits.....

Welcome Vander Blue!  Can't wait to see him on the floor in blue and gold!

Our roster is starting to look insane.  And there's still a couple of spots open for next year.

Blue commits to MU
               

In a twist that is sure to add even more spice to what has already become a heated rivalry between in-state rivals, Madison Memorial star Vander Blue on Sunday orally committed to play for the Marquette Golden Eagles, roughly five months after announcing he wouldn't follow through on an oral commitment to play for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Blue, a 6-foot-4 senior guard, took an official visit to MU over the weekend, and was in attendance for 'MU Madness' at the Al McGuire Center on Friday night. Decked out from head to toe in MU gear, Blue appeared to be at home and enjoying himself as he took in the fesitivities, which included his best friend, Golden Eagles freshman forward Jeronne Maymon.

"I love the Marquette culture, have a real good connection with Buzz, and I feel like it was a great fit for me," he said. "Their style of play is my style, it's close to home, my mom can come see me play anytime. I feel like it was a good decision for me, and that's where I want to pursue my college career."

From Scout.com and Badger Nation

Quote
“The thing to me was how hard everybody works every day,” Blue told Scout.com. “They live by the motto “1 Percent Better Each Day.” They live by that. Coach Williams spent a lot of time on life and talking to me about becoming a man.”

WOW!!!

Way to go Buzz.....,

He says he will sign in the early signing period in November.

I was just on the badger board, my first time, have they always been so high and mighty about their academics?  I know its a good school, but to say maymon and blue wouldn't have been accepted is comical....is it a secret in Madison that athletes get special treatment?  Has the basketball team ever turned away a qualified player?  My guess is many of the football players aren't the brightest of folks.

It's a silly argument for both sides to use.  UW is more difficult to get into at this point than MU for the basic, everyday student.  (Mostly because every HS student in the state applies for admission.)  However, UW makes plenty of exceptions for athletes just like MU does.

You never know, UW-Madison is always hesitant to admit in-state students!

That's because there is a financial incentive for all UW schools to bring in out of state students.  They pay more than it costs to educate them.
