Rebuilding??? I thought last year we were a first weekend team and that's it. This year is completely different. We have to fill our pg spot after losing Junior, but that should be an easy task. We've got the two headed Wilsons in Duane and Derrick. Derrick is an excellent defender and he controlled the ball better than Junior did last year. We shall see how it translate when he gets more pt, but we also have a stud in Duane Wilson who I think will overtake Derrick after a few games. We lose Trent Lockett (signed by the Kings...didn't see that coming), who was a great leader and efficient player, but we have a stud 2 time JUCO all-american Jameel McKay who can fill that spot and more. Steve Taylor is also coming back as a sophomore who is more experienced, stronger, taller, and better than last year. Throw that in with potential NBA pick Jamil Wilson, Davante Gardner, and Chris Otule and we are set for big guys. As far as SG we obviously lose Vander, but he was decent at best most of the year. He really turned it on towards he end of the year and in the tournament. Yes it's a void we must fill, but we have Todd Mayo, brother of OJ as every announcer puts it, who was suspended to start last year and should make a big leap. Throw in our other top recruits in Jajuan Johnson and Deonte Burton and we have a deep team. Not really sure how you think we are rebuilding, but I think we could be a very good team come march. Miss the dance, ha, not as long as Buzz is at the helm.

Not sure what's so funny. If you've watched him he has a lot of potential. I also added that we have other players who will also be playing shooting guard, and that Vanders contributions that we lost will easily be made up. 15 pts, 3 rebs, 2 ast, 1 stl, not too worried about being able to make that up. If you want a good laugh why don't you watch your team play.

I found it funny because you're right I can't watch a marquette game for the last 2 years w/out the announcers telling you that he's OJ's brother. Doesn't matter if Todd is playing or not :lol: I couldn't give a crap personally but I still find it funny how automatic it is.

I see you are still a little new here and missed friarfan2's best material. Long story short, he likes to get a rise out of Marquette and Seton Hall fans (not really sure what the connection is, but that's his thing). As for the Hall, he's a quality poster here, I'm 100% sure he is laughing with you about Mayo and the announcers, not belittling Mayo's talent.

The one thing I have learned over the last eight years is you never count out Marquette. I don't care if its a rebuilding year, there are bats flying around at their games, or the team has the plague. I have them as an NCAA tournament team every year. I wouldn't say that about any other school in the league. They get my benefit of the doubt until they show me otherwise. I think Buzz is an outstanding coach. I really like watching him and Marquette (except when I am at the Garden and they score the winning bucket at the end of overtime in the last regular season game of the season and...nevermind). I thought when he danced across the floor at West Virginia it was awesome. I hope he sticks around at the Quette because he is one of those coaches along with JT3, Wright and Lavin that can help give an identity to the league like the Carnesecca / Thompson / Massimino / Boeheim did when the Big East was an infant with a fledgling TV network called ESPN.
