Maymon On The Move, Leaves Marquette

Father Says Maymon Is Not Transferring

Updated: 8:54 am CST December 15, 2009

Former James Madison Memorial High School Spartan Jeronne Maymon has left the Marquette University basketball team just games into his freshman season.

Marquette head coach Buzz Williams confirmed that Maymon has decided to leave the program. The player's father, Tim Maymon, said that news of his son's decision was a surprise to him and that he was heading to Milwaukee to try and find out more about the situation. Tim Maymon said Jeronne is doing well in school and is "loving every minute of being there."

Maymon was Williams' first recruit at Marquette and in Maymon's first season with the Golden Eagles, he was averaging four points and 4.2 rebounds a game. Maymon scored four points in 22 minutes against Wisconsin on Saturday at the Kohl Center.

There have been unconfirmed rumblings that Maymon might be transferring to Tennessee, but so far those are just rumors. Tim Maymon said his son isn't transferring to Tennessee or any other university, WISC-TV reported.

So what about Spartan senior and Maymon's friend, Vander Blue, who was going to join Maymon next season at Marquette? Blue's mother, Rita, told Mark Miller at wishoops.net that "Vander is going to Marquette, end of story."
