Or a sale on Prius's.

The plural form is Prii. There are many Prii family in Seattle.

JJJ can still start at SG if Vander remains with the team.  If Vander is playing PG, no conflict is present.  I believe Vander's NBA position is PG, and I expect Buzz and Vander realize this as well. 
Agreed....Vander is a PG in the NBA if he even makes it there right away. He has still a long way to go with his body and his shot to play SG and guard that position on a nightly basis.
None of these guys declaring to come out and enter the NBA draft are really ready skill wise...none of them. The NBA Draft process is a joke and makes a mockery of the league.
It waters the NBA Brand and product down a great deal to me because few stay in college to be coached and grow and develop because they have those around them who tickle their ears and massage their ego's and blow kisses when critiquing their games or shot. And that is well and good for them so let them go...
But to me if Todd Mayo and Vander return that is where we might have the question. And also, I have seen Duane Wilson, and he can start at PG if we are talking about offensive skills.
There was really no one for him to guard in high school so I have not quite assessed his defense as much... but he can stay in front of his man.

That is why I put "official" in quotes.  I don't exactly know the status, but he is listed as a redshirt senior on the roster and to get a sixth year, you have to wait until your eligibility is used up - at least according to everything that I have read. 
Christ oops....I mean Chris Otule <yeah him too> will return. I have seen and spoken with him and I get that indication as well. He's my guy. Just a great young man. He is very excited and enthused to be back for one more year!

I am looking for big things from him and MU this summer and next season.

I told you guys this 5 months ago and I was either ignored or bashed! ha

I Know 100% the ONLY way JJJ was gonna sign was if Vander entered the draft!

JaJaun is the real deal and wants to/will start at Shooting Gaurd next year. He will leave for the draft prolly after his Sophomore year, He is that good. I live in Memphis and seen him play a ton of times.


Did I miss something?  Did Vander enter the draft?

So your theory is back when he signed in November, that he knew Vander was going to have a breakout year and would start?  Cmon....

JJJ wouldn't need to start to have an impact on this team either.

Why can't they both start? If JJJ can't beat out Juan Anderson for a starting job then he's not the "real deal".

The fact that Juan started should show you that starting at MU isn't really that big of a deal.  Believe me, if JJJ can hit a jumper consistently and defend, then he is going to play plenty of minutes.

Dion Waiters didn't start at Syracuse. Worked out okay for him.

If you think that being picked 4th in the NBA Draft is "okay" then I guess you're right. Personally, I prefer to aim higher.

Otule will return??!! This is huge news! Why didn't you start a new thread on this!? Wait... what?... Goodman announced it yesterday? oh. ok.

Do you still think Jake Thomas should be seeing more minutes on the court for Marquette?

Yeah. Buzz got JJJ to sign by promising him that Van was leaving. It was all arranged. Now Buzz is fighting in public with Van trying to make him stay. All makes perfect sense.

How is JaJuan's long distance shooting? Can we just calling him "Trey J" and make this simple for everyone?

Let's just say that "Trey J" would be appropriate. 

Maybe the students can be convinced to shout "automatic" before he shoots a three.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

I agree, you shouldn't leave unless you're a guaranteed top 3 pick.

Just wait for the team to learn Buzz is leaving via ESPN, Van decide to stay and then the new Head Coach needs to make a trip to have a sit down with JJJ's high school coach to explain how he'd fit into the offense only to see JJJ go to Kansas!
