I do tend to think Wade isn't getting the love he probably deserves, which is a little odd

Recent history I go with Wade #1 and VB a very distant second place.

Crowder.

I don't remember ever being as excited for and disappointed by a game as the L to Florida last year. I was 100% sure we were going to the Final Four.

To add to my Diener love, i now have to pick De' De' in a close second.

Theres something very likable about that guy.  Over size bruiser who makes you pay down in the paint.

I first became a Marquette fan because of Brian Brunkhorst, George Thompson and Pat Smith. Since then, guys like Maurice Lucas, Earl Tatum, Aaron Hutchins, Travis Diener and Kordell Henry have kept me one despite attending that evil institution to the west. (I would've added Jim Chones had he not left a team destined to win the national championship in 1972).

Definitely odd. Great point.  For me, I've let Wade's post MU career cloud my judgement, which certainly isn't fair for this, but that is the reality.

In past 25 years Wade was hands down my favorite player to watch. He was greatest player I ever saw at MU and really in class to homself for me.

[Earl Tatum]

William Earl Tatum and Butch Lee

While I don't have deep Marquette roots and started watching a few years ago, I just wanted to say that my favorite currently is Todd mayo. But I'm just happy that this university has such deep basketball roots that go back such a long way. The players that play for Marquette stay at Marquette. We watch them grow. We get to meet them and really appreciate them for what they do. They aren't one and done. They stay here and become part of our history and our memories of college. So while we aren't a Kentucky or Kansas, I would take our rich history and hometown heroes over players like Anthony Davis and carmelo Anthony and other one and done  any day. We are Marquette

Anyone know whatever happened to Hutch?  Did he ever come back for his degree?  Play bball in Europe?

I have only been watching MU since 1998, so keep that in mind.

1. Dwyane Wade- I will never forget watching him those two years. In my opinion, nothing was more exciting to watch than when he would get a steal and be all by himself and throw down an authoritative dunk. I will never forget those moments.
2. Jimmy Butler
3. Dominic James
4. Jae Crowder
5. Steve Novak

[Sir Lawrence]

Bo Ellis. 

Still Bo Ellis.  Great game, great name, had the swagger, has earned the scars, the rep, he is genuine Marquette.
