Thanks for exposing the truth about Teddy.

Very revealing.

Very revealing.

I think we can all agree that MSM doesn't cover these hard-hitting pieces like they used to.

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

Way to go Markus.

Marquette has been lucky to be associated with this fine basketball player and outstanding young man for these last 3 years.

Yep. Top kids being recreuited away by charter schools, prep schools, etc.
Can't blame the kids. If I had a basketball future, I'd gladly flee Garfield Park, Lawndale or Englewood for a nice, safe campus in Indiana, Florida or Nevada.

Prep school girls in tartan mini skirts?

Never mind that, there is an Achiuwa in the mix!  Is Precious God'sGift's brother?

Yes. Believe there is also a brother named  Promise.

Cant see Markus going anywhere.  And what is so wrong with returning for ones senior year to a team preranked 2-7? 
In fact i think Markus owes it to his teammates...for 3 years these guys have all stepped to the shadows n selflessly deferred their limelight to Markus.  I think it woukd be selfish of Markus to at this point abandon his team after they have given so much to him.
Its not like he is a lottery pick, why torpedo a potentially glorious campaign to slog thru downtrodden small cities in the G league when u can potentially participate in a senior season like any kid that has ever played college basketball dreams of?
Really seems like a no brainer to me.

You realize that the limelight will shine even more on Markus if he returns right?  He'll probably be a pre-season first team All-American.

If his teammates have truly sacrificed their games in deference to Markus, then it would probably be best if he actually did leave.

Nothin' ta cee heer, hey?

Missing the point.  Him returning allows the other players to have the college season experience that say, a Auburn or UVa just had.  Ed is never going to play pro ball in the US neither is the 8th man at Auburn but to have a season like they just had is a lifetime if memories and a place in their souls. Markus coming back helps them acheive that, if Markus ends up a pro he ends up a pro.  Those guys prilly dont acheive that without Markus giving back.

Nobody has "selflessly deferred their limelight to Markus."
The best players get the most usage. That's how basketball works.
I doubt very much  Javin DeLaurier and Alex O'Connell felt they were sacrificing to give Zion more looks, or feel abandoned by him turning pro.

Why does Markus owe Ed Morrow an experience like UVa just had?

There are currently two people on Marquettes roster that may see NBA playtime. Neither is Howard.  Hell be back ( as will the two possible picks)

I'll take that bet (about Howard not seeing playing time in the NBA).

Howard will see NBA playtime.  No doubt in my mind.  Will he stick on a roster and build a stable career in the NBA?  That's what we don't know.

What we betting   

I dont see any room on am NBA roster for a 5'9 shooting guard with bad pass vision and worse defense.

12 pack of my choice, delivered to my front door (since I'm winning).
The modern NBA is all about shooting, and Markus is an elite shooter. He'll find his way onto an NBA roster at some point, even if only as a situational player.

[BM1090]

I'd be shocked if Howard doesn't get a look in the NBA. He may not stick, but his shooting/scoring ability is almost unmatched. Someone will take their chances on him to be a spark plug of a 2nd unit.
