Vander Blue commits to Marquette

You remember Vander Blue, don't you?

He is the top 30 recruit who decommitted from Wisconsin back in May in part because of negative comments Wisconsin fans made on a few online articles.

Well, after attending their Midnight Madness, Blue has now committed to Marquette, one of Wisconsin's fiercest rivals.

To be fair, there was more to the decision than just the reaction from the Badgers fan base. Blue, who is from Madison, committed to Bo Ryan when he was just 15 years old. He is a dynamic point guard who now gets the opportunity to play in a system much more conducive to guard play. Plus, his "best friend" and "big brother", former Madison Memorial teammate Jeronne Maymon, is currently a freshman on the Marquette team.

So maybe Blue was never destined to be a Badger.

But I can't help but wonder whether he could have ended up at Wisconsin had he received more positive feedback from Badger fans.

The moral of the story?
