oleman!:abe are you a marquette fan over here, too? your rhetoric would tell me no, but I understand that your words don't always indicate your true feelings. so........? please explain how MU "sold it's soul" to get him. Please also explain how signing the reigning state player of the year, from the hometown of your biggest state rival is an act of desperation. I would like an explanation from you, because I know that you are in "the know."
When you start making top 50-75 recruits promises regarding playing time/offensive touches before they step on campus, that is an act of desperation and basically selling the inegrity of the program out. Buzz knew they were in trouble from the program's lack of ability to attract any live bodies over 6'-7" and sitting with only one top 100 guy in the last 3 classes.... his back was against the wall and he had to do something.
What does the fact that Maymon was from Madison matter? I'm not sure I could spell this out much more clearly... UW DIDN'T WANT HIM.... The Maymons were publicly begging for an offer from UW and got turned down. Like you said, he is the reigning player of the year and he was from Madison and Bo Ryan STILL didn't want him... doesn't that make you stop and think? They certainly know more about him than anybody... a kid on Maymon's team that is younger has already committed to UW.
