So Is McKay Gone For Real?....

[Jay Bee]

The move to keep Pilarz on longer can be blamed for this. Had Wild been the guy October 16 as previously planned I think we all know where things would sit.

Jabari Parker in a mid-year transfer to reunited with Steve would work for me.

[Clam Crowder]

I personally can't blame the guy. Would only have had 1 year in which he would have competed for a starting spot with probably Steve. Barring no changes (commitments) Steve is probably gonna play the Crowder/Hayward role next year.

I'll have my lawyer give your lawyer a call.

Did I hurt your feelings?

Does this open up a scholie this year then that Buzz could give maybe to Dylan Flood.

Any chance you are Dylan Flood asking if you don't have to make this month's tuition payment?? 

[chapman]

Would lean toward academics or just some other private personal issue.  Hard to think a 6'9" kid who was on campus a few months had already been relegated to the bench or didn't think it possible to get playing time.  And he's a local so it can't be homesickness.  Not at all worried about this year, but pretty concerned for next year.

Quoi?  Father Wild resumed his duties yesterday.

"As discussed on the premium board, Juco transfer and Milwaukee native Jameel McKay is leaving Marquette before ever playing in a game. Not sure what his reasons are, but I had heard it was mainly due to not being happy with playing the 5 spot.

Best of luck to Jameel wherever he goes.

Despite immediate internet rumors, this is not due to grades, it was his decision and the MU staff tried to talk him out of it, but were not successful."

Maybe he thought Steve hogged the mic too much at MU Madness.

Will he pull a Juan?

If true, better now then mid-season and have a Reggie Smith situation where he never plays but no one knows why

Playing the 5 at MU turned out OK for Jimmy and Lazar

I don't believe this for a second. It has to be academics, and I blame Larry and Pilarz.

[bilsu]

Wow.

I really hope it's not a PT issue. That would be short-sighted by the kid (imho).

Anyways, best of luck to him. Too bad for MU.

He should of redshirted, especially since by transferring he will end up redshirting anyways.

Yep, if this is really the case, hope he doesn't let the door hit him on the way out.

[Silkk the Shaka]

Seriously - simple analysis of the situation, really. But he probably thought he'd end up playing the 5 next year also.

Cough...Jeronne...cough...Maymon.   Good luck to the young man, I hope this works out well for him.

[Spotcheck Billy]

he forgot how crappy the weather can be in Milwaukee and got out now before it gets worse

[MU82]

Kid leaves program.

My life is not affected in any way.

(And it's all about me, after all.)

See ya later, Jameel.

Next!

[94Warrior]

Anyone actually following the program saw this coming.

.
Lol.   Golden Avalanche actually saw this coming 6 months ago. 
All you have to do is pay close attention and read between the lines.  It's not that hard.

[nyg]

Almost 6ft 10, with MU losing bigs next year.  What did he think would happen.  MU to audition his skills at the #4?

Too self centered and not thinking about the team aspect, so best of luck to him.  Still don't get the timing of this, since he probably knew what his role would be upon arrival/committment.  

[Wade for President]

Is it fair to assume that McKay saw an Okafor and Cliff Alexander commitment on the horizon?

Trust the coach, man.  If coach wants to play you at the 5, you play the 5.  Did Buycks want to play the 2?  Did Hayward want to play the 5?  Crowder the 4?  Probably not, but guess what, they listened to the coach and eventually made the NBA.

I was looking forward to watching this guy.  Quite an athlete, great smile, great energy.  Bummer.
