Heartiest welcome to Marquette, Trent. We look forward to all you can contribute on and off the court. Most of all, we are praying for your mother and hope we can be a genuine support to you both. God bless her and you.

Welcome aboard, Trent. Bring some of the AZ sunshine with you.... :)

Insightful video. Trent and his Mom have faced a lot. http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/devil-ball-stories-from-judy-lockett/12oggbi8?cpkey=82ee1fee-8ed6-40db-bb29-5f57656c109d%7c%7c%7c%7c

They seem like wonderful people. Very excited to add a person and player of Trent's caliber to the mix. Wish it was under better circumstances.

That video says a lot, and here is an ESPN story on his commitment to MU that talks about MU and the proximity to his mom. Amazing, the woman is battling cancer, but won't start treatment until she gets her daughter moved in to Duquesne where she will play volleyball and also gets Trent moved into MU.

Thanks, Jim - this video is tremendously important for putting Trent's coming into the broader perspective of his mother's fight with cancer. We as MU fans should not overlook or forget this context, and we'll need to find as many ways to support both mom, son (and sister if possible) as we can.
