WTF!?!

Don't worry, Buzz will fix it....oh, and Vander Blue coming to MU..............

[VegasWarrior77]

According to Todd Rosiak:

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/79269727.html

Jeronne Maymon, Buzz Williams' first recruit as head coach of the Marquette Golden Eagles, has quit the team.

The 6-foot-6 Maymon, a freshman forward, was averaging 4.0 points and 4.2 rebounds in just over 16 minutes of action this season. He had four points and five rebounds off the bench in 22 minutes in MU's 72-63 loss at Wisconsin on Saturday.

Maymon arrived at MU with some acclaim, having been named Wisconsin's state prep player of the year both as a junior and senior at Madison Memorial High School. He and future Golden Eagles signee Vander Blue teamed up to lead the Spartans to the WIAA Division 1 state title last season.

Maymon played in nine of 10 games for the Golden Eagles, missing the North Carolina State game on Dec. 5 due to a hip pointer.

While Maymon had yet to make a big impact for MU, his loss is big just from the standpoint of depth. With center Chris Otule out for the season with a foot injury and guard Junior Cadougan out with an Achilles' injury, the Golden Eagles are now down to just nine healthy scholarship players -- two of whom have only seen sparing action so far this season.

Calls to Maymon were unsuccessful.

I'll update this as necessary later in the evening.

PLEASE!!!  Say it isn't so!

[Ron Paul]

Unbelievable!!!!!  Will this effect Vander Blue?

[79Warrior]

Well, the wheels may begin to come off the bus now.

[VegasWarrior77]

I just got a sick feeling in my stomach!

[jaygall31]

Very interested to know the reasoning.

[GGGG]

This makes me sick to my stomach.  Let me also add that I hope this is due mostly to frustration and that he can come back around.

And Blue is still subject to his LOI.

[79Warrior]

Unbelievable!!!!!  Will this effect Vander Blue?

Duh!!!!!

[New Era Warriors]

WOW. wtf?!

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Folks...I believe this is why people were shying away from this kid.

I have to say, he never looked "in" to things out there. And for somebody on MU's strength and conditioning program, he wasn't exactly a physical specimen.

[muole]

i'd wait a couple days to freak out.  he is an 18-19 year old kid.  sounds like it could be something personal.

let this thing play out before freaking out.

but if it's true it's trouble.  big time.  and buzz is going to have some explaining to do about all this roster turnover.

[NCMUFan]

Hey give him his space.  Mo Acker left and came back and is more determined than ever.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

All what roster turnover? This is one kid.

[SoCalwarrior]

Eric Williams...err...Your table is ready

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

I think we can all now safely assume that he wasn't injured during the NC St. game.

[Ron Paul]

Could be grades related, didn't the first semester just end

[cheebs09]

I think we can all now safely assume that he wasn't injured during the NC St. game.

I buy that he was hurt. In the UWM game he fell and was holding his hip and wincing pretty bad. I believe this was during a stretch where he was playing well, but he had to leave the game.

[SoCalwarrior]

Could be grades related, didn't the first semester just end

Maybe that's why he is interested in Tennessee.

[#MUBB]

what is going on?!???!

this is getting ridiculous

[VegasWarrior77]

MU's official site has this quote from Buzz:

"We want to thank Jeronne for his contributions to the program while he was here and wish him the best of luck in the future," Williams said.

This sounds awfully final.  Something doesn't smell right...!  Academics...?
