@T_Lockett24: "I've been a sundevil since 16.  I love and appreciate the people and experience at ASU.  Saying that, I am excited to finish my last yr at MU!

[Dr. Blackheart]

So with classes now done and finals starting, is this good news or great news?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Great news...pretty much expected this for a few weeks, but great to get the official word!

He's going to look real good in a Marquette uni.

[GGGG]

He simply waited until he graduated earlier today to make the announcement.

[Goose]

Great news. He'll be great addition to the program.

Blackheart
Let's hope it is great news!

MUBB just became that much deeper and talented a basketball team.  Excellent.

Some quotes, including from Herb Sendek:

I guess this means this has been in the works for awhile and the people who called this earlier this week knew what they were talking about.

[silverback]

Forgive me if this has been discussed, but does Lockett have to sit out as a transfer? If not, what were the circumstances?

Thanks all.

[lab_warrior]

No, he graduated, so he doesn't have to sit out. 

[strotty]

No. He graduated from Arizona State, so he's good to go.

[silverback]

Thanks.

Did he graduate in three years so he has eligibility left?

And, I assume he's looking at grad school at MU for a year...

[GGGG]

Yes he has one year of eligibility remaining.  Not sure if he redshirted and graduated in four, or simply graduated in three years.

[silverback]

Got it.

[chapman]

Yes he has one year of eligibility remaining.  Not sure if he redshirted and graduated in four, or simply graduated in three years.

He graduated in three.  Pac 10/12 All-Academic Team the past two years as well.  Majored in Business Communications, and has a 3.3+ GPA as an honors student.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I've seen him play many times at ASU, now I can't wait to see him live at the Bradley Center!

[Goose]

Chapman
He is our kind of guy.

[Groin_pull]

Love it. Excellent pickup for MU.

[jsglow]

Our starting #2 next year baby!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Reverse Hiroshima!?!

[NersEllenson]

Great news!  Welcome to MU Mr. Lockett.
