Just another reminder of how lucky we are to have this guy on our team and at our school. It sounds like he has an amazing, close and well-grounded family.

The future is bright for Markus, wherever he ends up.

Wonder if we could've had the highest scoring brothers at a single school too if they didn't want so many shots for Ed, Theo, and the others at MU...

[lawdog77]

He reads Pete Carroll's books? Doesnt he know Pete is a cheater?

[warriorchick]

I would be incredibly proud to have Markus on our team if he didn't score a single point. He is a quality human being not even counting his performance on the court.

[Billy Hoyle]

Just wish he'd escape the FCA crap. Incompatible with Cura Personalis.

Very pleased he came to MU and the staff landed him.  We are very lucky to have him as an ambassador.

Way to ruin a nice thread about Markus....good job.

LOL It's anything but "ruined", Snowflake.

It is a really nice thread about a special and thoughtful young man who is much more than a basketball player. And finds inspiration in the writings of Pete Carroll. I celebrate everything about him in the article.

I don't, however, celebrate your total lack or self awareness,
a sense of humor or any appreciation of irony. Get over yourself.

Hey Lenny, what do you think about Markus Howard and his contributions to Marquette University and Marquette basketball?

You two need to get a room.

Anytime you lose players to MSU & UVA, it's definitely bc those players are selfish 🤦🏻‍♂️.

I'd be more concerned about the NPOY candidate on your team instead of Sam, Vanilla Soft Serve and their legal pad.

Bailey and Cain showing why they should've been getting minutes from Joey all season.

Wins in March > individual awards

This.  Last year's team was heavy at forward, light at guard.  Playing a freshman coming off ankle surgery 30 minutes a game was one of Wojo's poorer decisions.  Led to to hard contact with the freshman wall that Joey never really pushed through. Bailey and Cain could and should have played more.

Playing Bailey and Cain could have led to more wins in March.

Can you handle watching Vanilla Soft Serve and his effort last March?

Sounds like Wojo was doing everything he could to keep House Hauser happy last year....didn't work, but he is blame nonetheless.

I wish the boys well, Sam is missed....Joey I'm sure will have a fine college career....I like the guys we have and like the guys coming in next year.

Seconded.

100% yes sir right here.  jamal got the quickest hook for things jh was doing wrong routinely.  but wojo succumbed to the hot breath on his neck from behind him...unfortunate all around.  could have been coaching moments for most.  jamal and brendon are playing like unleashed dogs

Remind me how many wins Sam and Joey have in March combined.

Hey Lenny, what do you think about Markus Howard and his contributions to Marquette University and Marquette basketball?

I think we can all agree that he's been a star on and off the court for Marquette University. I'm grateful for those who serve as his inspiration - God, his family, Pete Carroll, etc. - I'm sure you're in the same boat.

No doubt. They saw the light. They knew the key to our offense was to throw it into Ed Morrow and Theo John and let those two offensive forces go to work on the poor souls of the big men in the Big East. Unfortunate Wojo couldn't see that like those two superior basketball minds could.

Wojo should've made sure Theo and Ed got the ball and Markus and Herro weren't around. No need for selfish players like that.

No doubt Sam moved to UVA hunting more shots for himself. Very logical. LOL.

Like I said, I agree. We don't want the Herro's or the Markus's of the world. We want equal distribution of shots between guys like Ed Morrow, Theo John, Joseph Chartouney, etc.

Give me those guys. You can take your All Americans and your first round picks.

Hell. Run it like 5th grade basketball. Everyone gets equal minutes here!

Hate to rehash old debates, but the notion the Hausers left for any reason other than not wanting to play second and third fiddle to Markus is dumb (but maybe not dangerous ... maybe).
