To say that Marquette men’s basketball was short on pure athletes last season would be a rather large understatement. Considering that Sandy Cohen was the only player to actually make a dunk during the Marquette Madness dunk contest, this should have been pretty obvious. Other than an occasional Jajuan Johnson steal and fast break throw-down, the season was pretty much devoid of jaw dropping athletic plays. If you have seen video of any of the new freshmen for 2017-18 play, then you know that is about to change. Before Greg Elliott signed this spring head coach Steve Wojciechowski was quoted as saying that the three recruits signed for 2017-18 season (Ike Eke, Theo John, Jamal Cain) all would have been the best athlete on the ‘16-’17 team.
