What "The Decision" Means for #MUBB

And I'm not talking Henry Ellenson.

What "The Decision" Means for #MUBB
Giphy

April 3, 2016 was a day of decisions in the realm of Marquette Basketball. One of these decisions was Henry Ellenson's, where he declared for the 2016 NBA Draft. The other decision came in the form of a video—a video that touched every Marquette affiliate right down to the ending.

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

Or, they will soar on wings like *Golden* Eagles, in this case.

The four-star recruit Markus Howard decided on Marquette. According to reports, Howard also decided to graduate an entire year early from high school to come to Marquette for the 2016-17 school year. If this isn't commitment to and utmost excitement for the game, I don't know what is. Obviously he's got a good head on his shoulders.

But what does "The Decision" really mean for #MUBB?

The 5'11" point guard surely isn't a replacement in the wake of the 6'11" forward in Ellenson. However, he's a promise for the future of Marquette Basketball like Henry had been, and the #MUBB community has every right to be pumped. Howard's been ranked as high as No. 32 in America by ESPN, and had options offer-wise from schools such as Indiana, Arizona, Baylor, California, Oregon and Arizona State, to name a few. He was actually committed to play for ASU as a sophomore in high school and de-committed just this past March. He has accolades measuring him up to the NO. 1 scorer in the country for his class. If that's not a startling statistic as it is, watch his highlights for yourself.


#MUBB got a hell of a player in Markus Howard. I'm anxious and excited to see where his talents will take the team, and where a team with him onboard will take the program as a whole.

Because even though one decision on April 3 meant losing Henry Ellenson to the NBA, even he is eager to see the future of #MUBB progress with the addition of Markus Howard.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
