Howard!

[wadesworld]

YES!

I knew we had him when he started quoting a verse from the Bible.  The kid probably comes from a family where religion is a huge part of their life.  Using the Catholic angle to win over recruits is exactly what MU and the rest of the Big East should be doing, especially since kids from religious families are exactly the ones we want representing the school.

Oh, and his verse included "soar on wings like eagles," which was a dead giveaway

You must be a lot of fun to watch movies with.

I agree with you on the religious front -- I seem to remember Buzz played that up - particularly with the parents.

[SERocks]

Wow, that was really cool.

Nicely done and welcome to Marquette!

[keefe]

Outstanding!

Not good news for Sacar but you never stop recruiting. Backcourt of Markus and HC could be very, very good next year.

Zero impact on Sacar. He probably plays the 4 next year.

[MarquetteDano]

Fantastic news.  Hard not to like the end of that video!

A 5'10" PG/SG committing is bad news for a 6'5" SF/PF...how?

[Jay Bee]

A video of 3+ mins gets you worried...

...but, upon viewing... he was gracious & appreciative of his opportunities thus far. Very well done.

[Marcus92]

Congratulations to Markus and the entire Marquette men's basketball program. It's great to see a second-straight top recruiting class rounding into shape.

Elite talent lays the foundation for success. Now it's the job of Wojo and his staff to bring out each player's best — and build a a team that plays even better together.

Can't wait until the start of next season. Go Marquette!

[dgies9156]

Welcome to the family Markus.

Look forward to seeing you at the Bradley Center!

[Silkk the Shaka]

Load up with top quality guards, get a center like Ochefu, and we got a shot at another banner.

[tower912]

Great news.   Welcome, Mr. Howard.   Wojo get some bigs to go with him.

[RealWarriorFan]

Great news! great video! Welcome to Marquette.

[Galway Eagle]

Wait he mentioned playing for a Duke legend at ASU but not at Marquette? He mentioned playing at a big time program at Baylor but just coming to appreciate Marquette? Better learn who he plays for and the history of Marquette!

But seriously great get, really psyched to have him, welcome to MU and all that jazz.

[jsglow]

One more comment. Rather than 'look at me' Markus spent 3 minutes thanking everyone and reflecting on the blessings bestowed upon him. I want kids like that every day.

[NotBuzzWilliams]

He said his dream was to play for a high major program, so too bad he has to be in the Big East now.

But seriously, I'm intrigued by what kind of lineups we'll have for next year.

I'd think the the use of a Bible verse suggests the Baptist school.

No offense to Sacar, but we are screwed if he's our 4. 6'5 205...yikes.

+1.  Need to get back to a Warrior mentality to win in the BEAST.

I hope that next year our team reflects Traci's personality on the court.

Are you aware that a lot of Protestant faiths really do not respect Roman Catholicism?

But seriously, I'm intrigued by what kind of lineups we'll have for next year.

I'm thinking

PG: TC 24, Rowsey 8, Howard 8
2/3/4: Cheatham 28, JJJ 28, Duane 28, Cohen 10, Hauser 10, Rowsey 8, Howard 8
C: Fischer 30, Heldter Skelter 10

Wildcards: Anim (does he beef up enough to board & defend at the 4 and get minutes over Sandy & Sam or play the 5 in a very small lineup) & Wally (does he stay or does he go)

Holy crap. Can we make the tourney for the first time in 4 years next year first

Happy that Howard made it official! Now let's find a big.
