Joey Hauser excited to join brother Sam at Marquette

Sunday night SPASH basketball standout Joey Hauser announced on Twitter that he committed to play at Marquette, following in the footsteps of his older brother Sam, who also plays there.

After several years of recruiting, talking to schools like Wisconsin and Michigan State, Hauser's decision to play hoops at Marquette, came in a long car ride home Sunday night.

"I always knew I really liked Marquette and I could really see myself playing there, not just because of my brother. That moment I had was yesterday, last night on the car ride home, about 6 p.m. I had that moment where I said it out loud, 'I want to be a Marquette Gold Eagle.' It sounded right, and that's when I knew. When I made that decision, everything just kinda went off my shoulders, I finally felt relieved," Hauser said.

And now he'll get to share the court with his older brother Sam once again.

"Right after I called Coach Wojo about it, he was the first person that I called right after that. He was really excited for me. He was really happy. He told me that he loved me, and it was a really cool moment for me and him. With my brother being there, it's like a side perk to it. If my brother wasn't playing there, I probably would still be considering Marquette because I like it that much," Hauser said.

With the decisions, Hauser said he's relieved and can truly focus on just playing basketball again, especially with his senior year at SPASH around the corner.
