EDIT:  Sorry, didn't see other thread.

It should a great year for Marquette.  The key will be training  and conditioning so the players have the endurance to finish the year.

Mark Miller is saying on the IWB board that Markus is gone.  That'll certainly affect pre season rankings.

Someone tell him our insiders had this weeks ago! And our insider's insider saw Markus and Stan slap boxing!

[gowojo]

Let's see if he attends the banquet on Thursday night.  Could be a big clue as to what he's thinking!

+1 on goldenboy being golden

Declaring gone or hiring an agent gone? Cause one isn't news and the other would be surprising

[MU82]

I will not believe Markus is gone until VTScoop delivers the news.

Hiring an agent isn't even really news now is it? I expect him to hire an agent and then make a final decision in late May.

Mark said "likely not to return"

??? Once you hire an agent you've crossed the Rubicon.

Not anymore. They changed that rule this year.

Actually the new rules allow for a "certified" agent who has to be terminated if a guy goes back to school.  Lots of limitations, though.

Did not know that.

Does it go into effect this year or next though? I've read different things.

Forget 7.  ESPN has us at #2.   So it will be the most Marquette thing ever for Markus to leave because being a Marquette fan feels like perpetual disappointment just when you think you might be on the verge of something amazing.

Mark said "likely not to return"

So, does Markus go through the draft, and if he goes undrafted, then return for his Senior year?  I think Legerald Vick did that last year.

Wojo could bring in Symir Torrence  (reclassify and sign in spring) and still hold a scholarship for Markus, if he decides to return.   There is enough room.  I'd be ok with that, and if Markus doesn't comeback Wojo just rolls with 12 players next year; save the scholarship for 2020.

Markus may leave but miller will probably get fired from Arizona so mannion will reopen his recruitment. Wojo will offer him the new forever green light and we land him and the teams talent level doesn't drop much as a result.

My favorite statement was by Reinhardt who, after the last humiliating loss to South Carolina in Greenville, never returned to Milwaukee to finish school.

Hell, he didn't even bother to come back to get his personal sh1t. If anyone thinks these kids are there to do anything but ball they are missing the point.

Ignorant statement.

Just last week, Markus led a FellowshipOfChristianAthletes meeting on campus. Then, along with teammates, he helped raise a bunch of money for womens' Heart health through a campus sorority.

Anything to fit your narrative.

Las Vegas oddsmakers feel slightly different about MU and BE success for next season than the "early" polls. Could be easy money for those that believe we are top seven team going into next season. In addition, Seton Hall, Creighton and Butler all are long, long shots.
