Durley granted release

[ibechillindoe]

Does this mean we won't have anymore threads titled "Aaron Durley" every two weeks?

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Even if Lockett transfers here he's a senior which means he wont use a scholarship for 2013 which re-opens the Kendrick Nunn possibilty.

Not really. Now we are even for 2013, if we sign Nunn we would be one over with Otule's 6th.

scratch that forgot about scrub Otule's 6th year.

Scrub? Do you have any clue about how much better we would have been this year with Otule, or about the value he adds to our defense?

No, he does not.

Why would that stop this board????

[The Process]

But wait... I thought the worst travesty in college basketball history was Uthoff waiting 2 days to go basically wherever he wanted?

Meh...

Compared to Bo's antics, this is very classy.

We sometimes forget we are dealing with kids here. I recall his mother saying in February that Aaron was excited and looking forward to coming to Marquette. I am sure he feels awful today.

Yes he is important to our team but we could have so much better plus the dude is a walking injury.

Is this the first sign of the said forthcoming "Marquette basketball Hiroshima?"

7 minutes away from exactly 175 days to MU madness

Sorry, but I'm skeptical. Marquette isn't known as a destination for talented big men, so we have to develop them. Otule has developed into one of the best centers in the Big East, works hard, and is the type of person every team needs. There's definitely a risk of injury with him, but that's not a good enough reason not to take advantage of his 6th year of eligibility, if he's granted it.

Maurice Lucas, Jim Chones, Larry McNeill, Jerome Whitehead, Dean Marquardt (no kidding, he was highly rated out of HS,) Walter Downing, Lloyd Moore...and almost Sam Bowie

If we had signed Sam Bowie our death spiral might not have ever happened in the 80's

100% agreed.

I hope that Aaron is successful wherever he winds up.

Who?  Really? Better than a 6 year senior Otule?  Since we're not going to bring in anyone this season, I'm assuming you mean a freshman in the 2013 class.  I promise there will be few (if any) centers in that class better than Otule as a senior.  And they will be at Kentucky.

[VegasWarrior77]

I already miss The Grinch digging himself deep into axxhole!  Maybe UW will let him go on Colin Cowherd's show Monday!

[Rockmic87]

The majority of Bigs we sign either never are actually on the roster by the time the season starts or leave after a season. That being said, I think Buzz should not sign any bigs unless they have a 3 star rating. Yeah sure, it's nice to develop players with potential, but were in the Big East, not the A-10 or Horizon League.

[muguru]

And the question of who is not attending is answered. Until next season. Or earlier than that.

No it's not.

[GGGG]

This one was all too clear once the coach made his comments. Courtney & Buzz go back. Gotta think Courtney's statement was a tee up for today's announcement. No surprise

That is exactly what I thought the minute I read the article.  Feel really bad for the guy.

I feel bad for him too, Sultan. Seems like a nice kid from a nice family. But after his lack of progress last year Buzz, Courtney and I'm sure Aaron himself knew he wasn't ready for D1, Big East basketball. Better for everyone to resolve this now instead of August, December or next June.

[bilsu]

I just do not agree with releasing a kid you signed. The smart thing to do is not sign kids in the early signing period, if you are not sure thye are ready. Frankly, I hope Durley turns into a stud and beats MU or whatever team Buzz is coaching in the future.

Oh, Wisconsin agreed to let him go to Iowa?
