I hate to criticize players individually because they are going through things that I'll never know or understand.

With that said, the Jameel McKay situation was the most ridiculous thing I've seen out of player at Marquette, but from what I heard of some of his Iowa State antics, it was best for the MU program that he left.

It depends on what kind of "disappointing" you mean.

If you're asking who I was most upset to see transfer, it would be Sam. Not even close.

It you're asking who I felt was much less talented than advertised, it would probably be Harry.

[#UnleashSean]

Harry froling. Maymon. None TBT Derrick Wilson

[Galway Eagle]

JJJ based on ranking.

Transfer after seeing play would be Sam

Transfer and then seeing what they did would be McKay

Disappointing due to injury would be Travis or James.

Due to hype and then being very meh would be Jamil

Deonte Burton

I left Burton off the list because of the tragedy he was forced to endure.  But, solely from a 'talent walking through that door' lens, you are correct.  Likewise, Liam McMorrow was not on my list.
Sam could/should be on the list, but I appreciated him so darn much for 3 years, I will remember him fondly.

[MU82]

Ners.

He only averaged 30 ppg for us. I was expecting 50. I mean, he dunked in high school and everything!

[Pakuni]

Rob Frozena.
21 points and 17 boards in four seasons is pathetic

[dgies9156]

Todd Mayo -- Coulda, shoulda, clearly wasn't.

JJJ -- What did Al used to say about BT, "More wasted talent..."

Henry -- So much there. So little to show for it.

Joey -- What did Tiffany sing, "It all died on a cold November night," right about the time the Baby Hauser discovered the team was not "Joey and the Warriors..."

Harry -- "I come from the Land Down Under" and scurried back after he realized it takes more than size to compete here.

Derrick Wilson -- Even my cocker spaniel could shoot better than THAT!

Disappointing that he left, but hard to say Joey was an absolute disappointment as a player.  Suspect we would be happy to have more frosh have a first year like Joey had.  Sure, he had some issues but overall did quite a bit.

In my mind, he single-handedly submarined what had the potential to be a very special season.  Big East Championship thrown away.

Your mind is incorrect. No one threw the season. Marquette lived through a certain playstyle and died through that certain play style.

And it was living very well until two brothers decided to write the coach a letter telling him how to do his job better.  Oh, and tried to get their teammates to sign the letter as a petition behind a specific player's back.  That's certain to do wonders for team chemistry!

[Galway Eagle]

I don't think he ranked the season but he certainly seemed to make a lot of turnovers and boneheaded plays which may have been because he was letting his frustrations and such impact his play.

What's the deal with this, did the team sign or no?

[Warrior of Law]

Remember they hype with the kid from Israel? That was interesting.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Never even heard of James Matthews, which probably explains why he's on this list.

An asset on offense on both ends of the floor, just ask Murray State

Pretty good list. Has to be Froling, because he was expected to be a "huge difference maker" by some.

I can't remember who else was after him, but people were really excited about him. Big 6'8" dude from Detroit with the nickname "manchild." Committed but never played here. Ended up having a pedestrian career at Eastern Michigan.

Actually, he was here.  Got booted after he punched a coach or teammate.

Sam's transfer is easily the biggest disappointment for me. It was great to see his game develop over his first three years, and he was set for what could have been a very special season. That was far tougher than seeing someone transfer early on (or before they ever took the court for Marquette).

Joseph Chartouny was probably the biggest disappointment from the standpoint of expectations. He didn't have to be a star coming in. He didn't even have to start. But he was a turnover machine, the last thing you want in a reserve point guard.

Brian Wardle knows him.
