Cool. Do you know what year?

[Afroman]

He spent two years attending Indiana (not on bb team), so he's listed as a redshirt sophomore.

Found his highlight video ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eu-_07w1yg

Googled him and the first thing that came up is a highlight video from 2011-2012. It says he'll be attending Indiana.

You beat me to it.

[NavinRJohnson]

Good. This should allow Wojo to limit a Derrick to 10MPG.

[MUfan12]

Wasn't that Wardle's alma mater?

[Afroman]

You are correct. Good memory!

[NavinRJohnson]

I've heard rumblings from people in the know that is he is already getting frustrated riding the pine while Derrick Wilson plays 35mpg, and is considering transferring to UWGB at the end of the season.

This is kind of useful, I guess...but could you find any highlights of him practicing?

well played.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Looks like he can stroke it.

Que 4ever's one-liner. 

[GoldenWarrior11]

Welcome to the team, young man!

Although I'm thinking mid-season next year....

[Loose Cannon]

 Is he still 6' 3?

[NersEllenson]

Thankfully John and Deonte moved on so we could clear space for this guy.  Looks like a scrappy player that will fit Wojo's "Win Every Day" mantra.

I hope we fire Wojo before your head explodes. He's obviously doing a horrible job.

And hire Ners, so we can finally right this ship.

[4everwarriors]

Not another traditional! Is he Jewish?

I'd rather he take it hard to the hole, aina?

[cheebs09]

Surprised he didn't go to Virginia Tech with that one guy. He'd be a starter his senior year.

[keefe]

Holy Mark Lavin!! Oy!

So we're adding two Indiana transfers for our next game? 

Did he try out for a walk-on spot at IU but get Creaned?

[esotericmindguy]

I love that people are breaking down a high school mixtape, filled with him hitting 3 pointers. I could make a 2 minute tape of myself hitting 3s in high school. Good lord.

[jsglow]

Interesting that in the JS blog Matt indicated that he stood with the team at the WI game.  I recall that some on here had noticed an extra guy.  I'll bet this was all in the works by then including the prospective departures.  Welcome to the team.

[Mobot]

He was the 1,303 ranked recruit for 2012 according to maxpreps.  That may seem high but for players rated between 975 - 1,350, there really isn't that much difference in talent.  So essentially, Wojo has added a top 1000 recruit.

, as "breaking down a high school mixtape". 

[keefe]

I read somewhere that Peter Thaus is, "The white Brian Wardle"

I'm sure Pete understands his role.  I hope Wojo rewards his commitment with a couple of minutes when he can.

[warriorchick]

Does this mean jsglow jr. can stop checking his phone every thirty seconds?

Can anyone under the age of 35 do that?

And really, can there be much difference between No. 750 and No. 1000? I say not.

And obviously, if you're in the top 750, you're not all that far from being in the 500s.

And if you you're No. 500-something, you're just a stone's throw from 400.

And so on and so on and ... move over Henry Ellenson!!!

[Texas Western]

Good insurance policy. Already known to the team.

Stranger things have happened.  What was Jimmy Butler's rating out of HS again?

Jimmy didn't go to high school. He popped right out of Buzz's vagina and into a Marquette uni!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

This shouldn't have, but I literally couldn't stop laughing after reading this.

On another note, welcome to the team Mr. Thaus!

[brandx]

Another contender for post of the year!!

[bilsu]

His role will be to drive me nuts, when the student section roars every time he touches the ball.

YAR!

Too bad his name doesn't have the cadence that Rob Frozena's has.

Unreal.  Hell of a post.

[SaveOD238]

Another contender for post of the year!!

I don't have the time, commitment, or energy to do this, but can someone put together a "post of the year" bracket a la the Scoop memes bracket from this past summer?  I can see the four regions already: Breaking News, Scooper on Scooper Burns, Hilarious Buzz Insults, and...uh...something else...

[Dr. Blackheart]

Who might MU be beating to be up enough for a walk-on to play?

[brewcity77]

I think he'll see time against Alabama A&M.

AKA the Immaculate Perception, hey?

[connie]

Don't you know?  As soon as Thaus starts taking 20 minutes a game from Derrick we will be in contention for a conference championship.  You know, with our backlog of Top 100 recruits that are just waiting until Derrick sits down before demonstrating their brilliance!

[GooooMarquette]

Most hysterical post of the year.  Bravo!

[GooooMarquette]

There's always DePaul.

Sorry, couldn't help it...

[HutchwasClutch]

Looks like a poor man's Jake Thomas to me.

Jake Thomas was the poor man's Jake Thomas.

Just making it "out of" Hinsdale says a lot. Those are some mean streets. It's a hard knock life in Hinsdale.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

There was one from the soccer team available?

(a.k.a. the Mike Deane era)
