Second runner up Nick Noskowiak.


From the reporting at the time, it sounds like he lost a promising career to mental health issues. I hope he got the help he needed.

Fluffy, you are a bad man.
I kind of missed Jamail Jones as one of the biggest MU busts.
Reggie Smith actually went on to have a decent career at Eastern Illinois. Averaged double digit points for them IIRC.

Jamal Ferguson was the one I thought was the biggest stretch.

Jamail and Jamal were loads better than Erik Williams.

Eh...Erik Williams went on to have a solid season at Sam Houston State and had better stats than Ferguson when he was at Marquette. Ferguson ended up being a back of the rotation player in the MEAC.

I find the results interesting from Buzz's tenure.  Obviously Wade would be Crean's more multiple reasons - he was an elite college men's basketball player at Marquette, led the team to the Final Four, and became an elite NBA player for over a decade, winning multiple NBA Championships).  For Buzz, there was a mixture of very strong collegiate players (who, like Wade, were unheralded recruits), that had deep runs in the tournament at Marquette (S16/E8), but had varying degrees of success in the NBA (Jimmy became a top-10, Jae became a very solid long-term rotational player and DJO only had a cup of coffee in the NBA). 

While Jimmy is clearly the best NBA player of Buzz's tenure, DJO and Jae were much more polished and valuable collegiate players IMO.  However, long-term, I do think Jimmy has helped elevate Marquette's brand and reputation to a similar position that Wade had (while not nearly at a high-level though) due to his success in the NBA and for his efforts to market MU outside the NBA. 

Wojo's tenure still has time to churn out future players, but - right now - it is undoubtedly Markus.  With his skills on the court, and his role as an ambassador off of it, he has been Wojo's best four-year player hands down.  I don't know what his future NBA prospects will be, but there is no denying that he has continued to carry Marquette as a top-level basketball program with skilled players.
