For Immediate Release
Juan Anderson To Return To Marquette In 2013-14
Sophomore Forward Had Requested Release
Milwaukee – Sophomore forward Juan Anderson has decided to return for the 2013-14 campaign with the Marquette University men’s basketball team after asking for his release at the conclusion of last season.
“I had an extended opportunity to discuss everything with my family and after those conversations we believed, along with the coaching staff, that Marquette was the best place for me to continue my career,” Anderson said.
The 6-6, 210-pounder has appeared in 59 career games for the Golden Eagles, earning 31 starting assignments. He played in all 35 games during MU’s 2012-13 run to the Elite Eight and started all but four of the contests.
"After multiple conversations that have transpired over the last month with Juan and his family, he has decided to come back to Marquette and rejoin our program,” head coach Buzz Williams said. “He is grateful for this opportunity and I am convinced this is the right thing to do."

Also, it is nice to have context on the overall situation that has been given on the premium board. Most fans are surprised about the news, but would not be if they knew all of the details. Originally Posted by MUMac

I really think Juan will be far more confident after a full healthy off season. He has been a great representative of MU thus far and I look forward to his continued growth as a player and as a leader for this group of young guys coming in.
Glad you are staying Juan!

I'm unfortunately in the dreaded "in between jobs" vortex so I am watching my pennies closely, but rest assured when I'm back into a positive revenue cash flow, the first thing I will do is to go premium. Actually, maybe my second - I may make it rain for a night in a certain category of establishment. Originally Posted by MUMac

As far as the premium board, is it like a virtual cigar room and everyone wearing a tux and drinking expensive cognac talking in English accents, getting waited on left and right with everyone sucking up to and laughing at IWB's jokes, no matter how bad, and exchanging stories about their new mistresses and latest safari or Everest expedition? If so, I can't wait to get back on my feet!!Last edited by CaribouJim; 05-20-2013 at 01:56 PM.
