There’s been a lot of talk recently about Buzz Williams, attrition, adding players to the 2015 class in the spring, etc. Today I thought we might go into a littler further detail about Buzz’s attrition rates at Marquette, as well as which types of players he was most successful with – JUCOs or high school players?
