The "F" stands for "First Round", for tonight at least.

Picked over Kyle Singler and others.  This time last year who would have thought.

Congrats to JFB, great story and two consecutive years MU has a first round pick.  Awesome.

Great story, great story for any recruit to learn about JB in Chicago, this will be a great benefit to MU!

Jimmy has been the heart and soul for MU and everyone has to be so happy about this.  Sterns get boos and Jimmy gets cheers.

CONGRATS JIMMY!!! frickin stoked

Sam Smith: 30. Bulls. Jimmy Butler, Marquette. A tough guy, whiich is the kind of guys known for coming from Marquette. He's got a classic story like the Blind Side movie in which he was homeless and raised by another family. Hard worker, a bit undersized who is a front court swingman and solid citizen guy. Also a guy who'll be a good teammate and good for team chemistry, which is vital for the Bulls

[DCWarriors04]

Got to appreciate the love the crew gave JFB (college basketball's version of the Blind Side) as well as how good it made Marquette look to all those bballers out there struggling in their personal lives and looking at schools...if you come to Marquette and play for Buzz, this could some day be you.

Congrats Jimmy!

[Jacks DC]

Way to go JB!  I think we own that spot now.

[LastWarrior]

Great pick for the Bulls (coming from a Bulls fan)!  He's got a really good shot at early PT... Bogans is gone and there isn't a clear starter at the two other than maybe Ronnie Brewer.  Let's go Jimmy... get your ass down to Chicago and working out with DRose... grind it out!

[kryza]

Just like Lazar, last pick of rd 1.  Congrats Jimmy!

That makes it 2 first rounders in a row for MU!!

[DCWarriors04]

and 3rd in the last 10 years

[Sheriff]

Awesome. Just moved to Chicago. I am now a Bulls fan. Gotta get me a jersey!

Unfortunately I believe #33 may not be available.

[Markusquette]

This Blindside story really came out at the right time I think.  Gave him some good attention.
