Video Summary Of Marquette's Newbill Recruitment

[Lennys Tap]

Was expecting to see "journalism" but got an editorial/infomercial instead. I'm with Navin - looking more and more like a set up from the word go.

[madtownwarrior]

glad we have MU alums (chico and forster) who are out to make MU look as bad as possible and drag this on as long as possible...

we need these guys as fans like we need the lunatics from the badger boards...

look - you don't know crap about the MU side of the argument - why keep hammering MU?

I am not a fan about the over-signing in college basketball, but the way you guys are dragging this out and hammering MU, you would think that Buzz shot the pope..

get over it already...

[madtownwarrior]

What a self serving, pile of garbage.

I'd like to know where your hard on for Newbill came from anyway?

Was is it just because you are in Philly too, and what I don't understand is why would you ask all these questions about academics and prep school months ago. It was like you were preparing your attack if something like this happened. What do you gain personally from this witch hunt you are on?

I guess Brad is a bigger DJ Newbill fan than an MU fan.

you hit on the head - this makes it look like the Newbill camp was planning for this possible outcome from very early on...

The video is giving more credibility to Buzz - thanks!

[DJO's Pump Fake]

The more that comes out regarding this the better MU looks.

It was fishy at the beginning but after more and more details emerge it honestly is making MU look better.

Here's to the whine train (Laws and forster) leaving town and never looking back.

DJ will get his education paid for and play DI ball somewhere.....everyone needs to let it go.

[chapman]

I don't say MU is perfectly clean, but I'll agree with others that the more we hear from Forster and Laws, the less I blame MU.  Please guys, help DJ find the best new home possible - moving forward, it's being a good kid and a good ball player that will help him find a new home, not having his own personal publicists - this kind of circus will only hurt his chances.

[ceh]

I agree.  The video seems to be quite self-serving, or at the very least appears to come off that way given given the author's single-sided viewpoint.   I understand BF got burned by MU after he had put in a great deal of work touting this kid, but seriously, this video is a real turd.

I'm not going to watch the video because I have zero interest in watching it, but Jesus Christ, overreact much? Where did your hard on for being an a$shole come from?

This board is getting less worthwhile to read by the day.

Good grief! Me thinks thou doth protest too much.

You are qualified, and good to go at MU, right? No chance of Prep school, right? You held your own against the guys at MU, right? If there is no doubt, why on earth are these questions even being asked, and responded too so vehemently? If you have all these comparable offers, why is this situation even a big deal? Monarch and Huggins were at one of his games the night before they had games of their own, as if it is somehow unusual that a coach would travel to see a player during their season. Its probably also just a coincidence that Aaron Brown who just committed to WVU today, also happened to play in that tournament at Villanova (probably among others WVU had interest in. I assume the recruiting geeks could shed some light on that). IF WVU wants you so bad, give Coach Drinky a call, and I'm sure he'll find a way.

My BS detector has been on overdrive, based on both the content and timing of comments by he and the the coach who was fired for being too successful started commenting mere moments before this news came out the other day. This video, moved their credibility from thin ice, into the freezing cold water.

DJ Newbill has an attorney who has advised against any further comment on the matter, but I think I will throw together a propaganda video and throw it out on Youtube anyway. There are so many hols in this guys version of things, its pathetic.

These guys are members of college basketball's wannabe class, that have and continue to try to use DJ Newbill and this situation to advance themselves.

I had held out some thought that maybe Buzz and Co. carried a small amount of fault in this situation, and may have done wrong by the kid a little bit, but ironically enough, the words and actions of the Newbill camp have convinced me otherwise. As far as I am concerned, Buzz can hold his head high, as these guys are embarrassing themselves, not MU. Never mind the talent levels of the players involved, I have no doubt MU is better off because of this decision.

100% agree, Narvin.  The timing of all the first video is suspicious.  I think all the DJ camp wanted us MU fans to do is buy into how much he could have meant for MU.

I wouldn't say my response was an overreaction at all. Someone going and making a video about the whole thing in their spare time would be considered an over reaction.

Furthermore, I haven't uttered a peep about the whole thing because I also don't really care. I'm glad Jamil is on the team.

If you haven't watched the video you shouldn't be commenting on this thread...about the video.

[4everwarriors]

Does anyone else thing the video sounds like an episode of Dragnet?

I am commenting on your prick-ish comments, dumba$$. Congrats for being a big man taking on a Marquette journalism student with an interest in the basketball program. You must feel like a tough guy sitting behind your anonymous screen name b!tching that a Marquette student is a "self serving, pile of garbage."

Go F yourself.

So you didn't read the book but take issue with the review of someone who did. Interesting.

[wyoMUfan]

wow.

anonymous, lots of people on this board know who I am.
I said the video was a self serving pile of garbage, I don't know Brad and wouldn't assume to call him such a thing.
If he is an MU grad then it would be a safe bet that he isn't yet rather a nice guy.

[Chicago_inferiority_complexes]

I take issue with calling a known Marquette student "a self serving, pile of garbage". Absolutely. And I disagree with his take on Newbill. But I find it disgusting to see a student attacked on this board like that.

The commentary on this recruitment has turned into a man version of Days of Our Lives.   The estrogen level is getting too high.

[wyoMUfan]

"what a self serving pile of garbage"

It does sound like i was attacking brad, not his video. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

[ben8787]

I'm interested in a link to the video. Thanks

Brad is not a current student. (unless he is taking online classes from Philly at the age of about 45).

Get yo facts straight warrior07.  Lay off the salvia.

[wyoMUfan]

yeah this isn't MUSCOOPS favorite Journalism  - Broadcast student Brad Gali were talking about homie...
It is an old dude from Philly.

[Chicago_inferiority_complexes]

Ok, well, that's a little less bad. Yes, I thought you were attacking the kid who always posts videos from MUTV.

Still, I would think calling an alum a self serving piece of garbage is beyond the pale even for a message board.

Post of the day.

[Canadian Dimes]

can someone post a link?....it appears the link that has been referred to is no longer any good.  Not a real big deal...bottom line is a marginal player got "cut"  happens in sports every day.  this is no longer tee-ball.  The argument appears to be based on whether Mu told DJ whether or not or when he might get cut....but never the less he got cut for a far superior player.  Not sure why all the outrage from all the mamby pambies.

nevertheless after reading all these posts i would like to see the video. 

[NavinRJohnson]

can someone post a link?....it appears the link that has been referred to is no longer any good.  

It has been removed. Weak a$$ sauce! Kinda says it all, doesn't it?

[burger]

Surely if DJ did not have a conditional offer and was to arrive at MU this week.....

He had to cancel and get refunded an airline reservation......

Bet we will never see that......

But I guess he was going to take a bus at the last minute....Right?????

Or you were going to drive him.....and do a "basketball vacation" movie.....(co-starring Cheve Chase....LOL!)

This video is a self serving piece of "crap" otherwise known as "spin" or "propaganda".....
