For the second time in four months, Buzz Williams has reinstated shooting guard Todd Mayo to the Marquette basketball team, a source confirmed to Paint Touches on Thursday. Michael Hunt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel first had the report. Williams spoke ... Continue reading →

Per IWB's free board, apparently he posted something on his Instagram account that says he will be back.

[4everwarriors]

Just confirmed. Will be in uni on Sat.

Great news!   Up to Todd now.

[tower912]

Great news, but he isn't Jimmy Chitwood.    A valuable piece, though, one that was missing.   

[tower912]

Well written yet again. 

[Stretchdeltsig]

Welcome back Todd.  Play to win.  Marquette needs you.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Todd's a huge improvement over Lockett and Thomas!

[GGGG]

I doubt Lockett's minutes drop significantly.

[tower912]

In a month, I predict that Todd will be starting alongside Blue and Junior.

This is solid news. Hopefully Todd will be more focused after his absence. He could be the spark that we need after a tough loss to gb and entering beast play.

Truth, hopefully he will be that outside threat mu needs.

Mayo eligible, will be in uniform Saturday

But his return probably can't hurt.

For real Hunt?

Now we just need Crowder and DJO and we're in business.

Todd is not the solution to all this teams problems.  He is more of a streak shooter than a pure shooter but at least at least he has proven he can make threes in game situations.  He also has the killer instinct that Jake and Lockett don't seem to have.  In the best case scenario (which is what we must have to be competitive this season) he makes enough 3s to stop teams from triple teaming Gardner.  That makes Gardner more effective.  Junior seems to play better when Gardner is scoring.  So now we are better at 3 positions.
I also think Buzz has got to give some more minutes to Ferguson.  He has shown some offensive explosiveness.

"Including Mayo's suspension at West Virginia for being cited as an underage at a local nightclub"
I think this is the first time the reason for the suspension at the WV game has been officially reported.  By local do they mean local in MKE or local near WV.  Assume this is the incident where DJO got into a fight.

[Nukem2]

Certainly Todd will help the offense, but his bigger contribution will be on defense.  A big thing this year is defending and turning over the opposition.  This is where Todd will shine.

Great news, but he isn't Jimmy Chitwood.    A valuable piece, though, one that was missing.   

Now that's a traditional we could use.

[Lennys Tap]

I doubt Lockett's minutes drop significantly.

If he doesn't get better AND still gets big minutes we are in big trouble.

[Markusquette]

I've thought Todd would be our top scorer all year prior to his suspension, and I still think he has a good shot to be right up there even when missing all this time.  He's the best scorer on the team and a pretty good shooter as well.  Hope he's got a flame burning inside and is ready to make a difference.

[westcoastwarrior]

How could Todd be cited for being underage last year?....he is already 22 now....that math does not work....I think Hunt screwed that up.

[brewcity77]

Very glad to have Todd back, he needs to keep his nose to the grindstone and make the most of this opportunity.

Good point, westy - number don't lie.
