[NersEllenson]

Welcome to the board - Happy to have you here, and we are very excited to see DJ in a Marquette uniform.  He seems like a great kid, with great basketball talent too.  Not sure why, but several here have speculated DJ would be going to prep school...thanks for clarifying that he won't!

[wyoMUfan]

good he looks like a beast in a few of those videos posted.
a real tough guy.

What happened to part two of the interview with DJ that Brad Forster was going to post up?

[damuts222]

 Does DJ have a nickname?

That's the first real news we've had here since Davante Gardner signed on May 3rd.  And its real good news too! IMHO


PhillyCoach  One thing first time posters should know, when someone has something sarcastic to say or that they otherwise don't want people to think they are talking seriously about, they change the color of their post to teal.  For example,
DJ Newbill will immediately be a Dwyane Wade clone as a player at Marquette!

I hope and expect that DJ's experience at Marquette will be a great one and word will get back to Philly.  There's too much talent there to leave it all to Jay Wright.  BTW, general consensus on this board is that Jay Wright is definitely one of the good guys among Big East coaches.

Trust me when I say we're all very excited to have DJ join the Marquette family!!

We're all hardcore MU fans, except for a couple freaks, who will welcome you as well.

So welcome Philly friend!!

I thought Gardner's nickname was Big Ox, to differentiate him from all those little oxen running around.

Based on the DJ videos we've seen, I'd propose "workout warrior" as a nickname.  Maybe "WW", it'd be shorter, and you'd have to be clued in to know what it meant.

PhillyCoach,

One final thing, NewbillToMU is strictly forbidden for anyone to use as a user name.  In the past year, we'd had one guy post as MaymonToMU and another post as MbaoToMU, and if you know the history of those guys, you know its clearly a jinx to use a recruit's name and "ToMU" as a user name.

Actually it was the same guy.  Perhaps his new name should be "The Transfer Wizard".

I hope they come back, I missed most of that chat and was trying to figure out what was going on for a while.  Sounded like it was a good time.

[PhillyCoach]

dj is his nickname and brad gathered more footage and should have the documentary complete in the upcoming days. I also was his high school coach and i will be at the elite camp again this summer

[Blackhat]

Do you know around when DJ will be on the Marquette campus?

[BuzzSucksSucks]

It's good to have you on board, PhillyCoach.  We're very excited to have DJ on our side as well.  Welcome to Marquette.

[wadefan#1]

Thanks for the insider info.

[Daniel]

Welcome, PhillyCoach

We are happy to have DJ aboard with us at MU!  Looks like an exciting player with a great attitude.

[PhillyCoach]

its great to read the responses from u guys and dj will be on campus in early july. And dj doesnt have an extra nickname

[rocky_warrior]

Great to hear.  Sounds like DJ's already been working hard - just the mentality Buzz loves (what coach doesn't!?). 

Can't wait to see him in MU colors (is it October yet)?

[GOMU1104]

Alright Coach, good to have your input. All we have really seen of DJ is youtube videos.  Can you give us an honest assessment of his game?

Strengths...
Weaknesses...
How he can contribute next year...
Things he needs to work on...

Thanks!

The full length feature on DJ will be posted on Cracked Sidewalks early next week.  DJ just played in the Battle Of Brotherly Love hoops tourney and I wanted to capture some game footage.  I now have what I need to complete the story.  On a side note, his team lost by one point at the buzzer.  The other squad was led by five star recruit Dion Waiters who's committed to Syracuse.  

[HoopsMalone]

Coach,

DJ looks pretty big in his youtube videos.  Do you think he can defend at the small forward spot in college?
