Man, I hope he makes it. I think he has the game, but we'll see. The thing is, prior to the Syracuse game, I'm not sure anyone would have been terribly surprised by this. I think that one game having a lot of impact on people's (around here) opinions.

Not a wise decision. I hope like hell I'm wrong, and he has a lot of success. I just don't see that happening on this continent.

Good luck Vander.  The Idaho Stampede awaits your arrival.  

Its your decision and not those of internet forum pundits, but not one mock draft, not one pro scouting service, anything has you as a first rounder this year.  

Hate to see you leave with the potential class of next year, what could have been.

Good luck, Vander.  I'll never forget your 2013 year-end winners.

MU not top 10 without Vander next year.  Still possibly a very good year, but it will have to be another case of Buzz coaching them up.

Not getting picked in June.  WNBA draft was last night, he declared too late for that one.

From JSOnline:
The Marquette University athletics program reported on Tuesday that Vander Blue will forego his last season of eligibility and enter the NBA draft. The program made the announcement on its Twitter feed.

We'll have more as details emerge.

Seriously I hope it works out for him, but to leave a consensus top 10 team for a chance of being drafted in mid/late 2nd round is dumb.  I think it is a bigger risk to do what he is doing than playing out his senior year.

Many memories just from the last parts of the season alone.  Best of luck fella.

I don't really get this - why forgo your senior season unless you're a guaranteed 1st rounder.  Getting picked in the 2nd round doesn't have any guaranteed money.

Exactly. Is next year's class really that scary?

I am disappointed because his game was trending to take a big jump next year. Wish him all the best of luck.  

It is hard to predict what this means for next years team. Having experienced seniors is important for success especially in tournaments. On the other hand their is still significant talent on this team and significant talent coming in. Buzz will have to put it together.

 I am hoping Jamil Wilson takes his game to the next level and is that difference maker ala Hayward, JFB, Crowder, etc

What does a Top 10 team have to do with anything?  He's not a fan.  He's making a life choice.  I would never expect a kid to evaluate his decision based on the team's possibilities.  That's selfish on our part.  Vander's busted his tail for 3 years, what does he owe us?  Good Luck Vander...prove 'em wrong.
