The two things I think of when people bring up Markus Howard.

Class and Basketball

Classketball

I'd have an easier time praising Markus if he wasn't taking a leadership role in/being used by an organization that stealthily advocates for discrimination, including against the child of our best player ever, and was deemed too extreme for Chik-Fil-A donations. Class would be distancing himself from them and embracing Cura Personalis, one of the foundations of MU.

What, you still throwing up bricks? What is this, a Masons convention? Clank, clank! I need, like, a welding torch to play in this league! I got an idea, let's just stop right now and gather up all these bricks and let's build a shelter for the homeless so maybe your mother will have a place to stay

So you don't like Markus then.

Not to mention the fact he's affiliated with a university backed by an institution that for decades covered up horrific crimes against children.

SHAME ON YOU, MARKUS.

I'm guessing he doesn't have a clue about that and wanted to start a chapter of something that was religious and athletic.

I would humbly request this remain a positive thread about a really nice gesture.  Start a different thread about the failing gs of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Marquette.

Agree completely. I am a Marquette basketball fan because of our rich tradition, what basketball does for the university, entertainment and my hope of MU winning a NC again in my lifetime. No doubt that Howard, and it appears all of the guys, are great representatives of MU off the court and that is a great added bonus.

Huh, that's something I hadn't read about.  Good for Wade being open about his child.

Thanks for sharing. Recall Stan Johnson saying once Markus committed to MU that he would be a program changer.

Incredible human being. Sure hope he gets to experience a run in NCAA this year.

I find it interesting how many here don’t seem to find this as something noteworthy. 

Sigh

Love to see stories like these.  How these can do anything but put a smile on your face is a mystery.

To each their own....in my view there is a percentage of MU fans, larger than I thought, that just don't care about this stuff at all.  Nothing else matters.

I may have some problems with Wojo, but that was awesome to see. Thanks.

Honestly, off the court, I don’t know if anyone would say a bad thing about Wojo other than being a bit boring in the public view. I’ve heard nothing but great things from people who interact with him. He’s a great representative of MU.
