First off, welcome to Marquette Vander Blue. I'm sorry Wisconsin fans, but my gold alumni sweater vest is absolutely thrilled with this decision.

That had to be one of the toughest decisions any young man has ever had to make. On one hand, he has his hometown school and the chance to play for a really, really good coach. On the other, he gets a chance to play in the best basketball hoops conference and to play with his best friend. Making the decision even tougher is that he is a 17-year old kid. Either way, suddenly the Marquette, Wisconsin rivalry got a lot more intense beyond one game a year. 

WKOW in Madison spoke with Vander about his decision to play for Buzz Williams over Bo Ryan.
