"It is transfer time. Word from the midwest is that freshman PG Reggie Smith from(Thornton Township HS)Chicago,ILL--may be leaving Marquette."

[chren21]

So is the whole sickness thing made up?

So is the whole sickness thing made up?

Case of transfer-itis?  

I do hope it's not true; don't think PT (or lack thereof) would be the issue, since he's getting starting run, and figures to have the inside track on Cadougan going into next year.

Maybe buzz forgot to give him an ipad

Would really doubt the sickness thing is made up.

This one would surprise me, since Reggie is getting a lot of responsibility. But on the other hand, I bet 2/3 of freshmen have had the thought of transferring cross their mind. So who knows.

Looks as though he deleted that Tweet. Very confusing...

I hope it's not true. I really love his explosion and has huge potential. If he's gotten the starting nod from Buzz this often I have to believe he is working really hard in practice.


Reggie please stay .

[National Champs]

The tweet wasn't deleted. I hope this doesn't materialize. We are thin enough at PG as it is. I'm skeptical though because Buzz has given him some minutes.

I don't see it there, though I never use twitter so I maybe just be overlooking it. Can you, or anyone, point it out to me? I see it retweeted but not on his page.

Even having Junior and Smith on the roster, Buzz received the commitment of Derrick Wilson for next year.  Who knows.

Adam Zagoria is now reporting this as well.

"#Marquette freshman G Reggie Smith is transferring, a source with knowledge said"

I don't understand this unless Reggie is aware that his playing time will eventually diminish (new recruit?); otherwise he is close to home and was chosen by a program that by all accounts took a gamble in offering him a scholarship. If he does leave I wish him the best but in the end I hope he stays.

It's the most recent one, right at the top in big letters.

Maybe his illness is worse than said, especially if its messing with his kidneys.

[willie warrior]

From starting PG to this?
Must go with Buzz's philosopy of one (or More) PG with each class.
In Buzz we trust.

[CAINMUTINY]

Was that meant to be in teal?

Oh Oh! This article is critical of Buzz's recruiting--refers to transfers: Roseboro, Maymon, Mbao, and now this possibility.

How dare this guy criticize Buzz. The nerve!

[Hards Alumni]

If this happens to be true, I am beginning to tire of the revolving door.

[4everwarriors]

Not surprising. Probably more to the story. This time of year always be skeptical of the "illness" factor. Anyone have info on Cadougan?

I sure as hell do not want to see Cadougan go anywhere--but would not be surprised. But there has not been any indication of that, other than Buzz's man crush on Buycks

Exactly. There always is.

[Skatastrophy]

It's too bad if this is true, Reggie seems like a great young man.

I have no problems, at all, with transfers.  If someone doesn't fit, whether that's the choice of the individual or the university, I'd rather the parties move on instead of try and force it to work.

That being said, there *has* to be something crazy going on to justify a mid-season transfer.  

[john_cocktoasten]

This is strange especially from a freshman that starts. I wonder if this has anything to do with that recruit we signed in the early signing period.   I'm getting sick of these recruits coming and going every year.

[madtownwarrior]

perhaps Vander will be getting more PG time and that is not sitting well with Reggie?

or Cadougan?

[MUfan12]

Ok... so why is it a big deal if there are transfers? It's part of life at a major program. Especially if you're bringing in a lot of talent. Some guys use competition for PT as motivation, some are scared by it. They'll go where it's guaranteed.

Like I said, hope this isn't true. But if so, next guy in.
