There was chirping around the world of Marquette basketball on Twitter this morning. Cryptic messages were thrown out, frat dudes with 11 followers were delivering breaking news, and rumors began swirling. What started as subtle winds of vague hearsay swirled into a hurricane that will alter the course of the entire program.
Brothers Sam Hauser and Joey Hauser are transferring from Marquette.
If you heard anything about this before the official announcement just now, I assume that your first instinct was to laugh it off. Sam Hauser was set to be one of the stars of a team seemingly bound for the Final Four after fighting through 3 years of limited success.
