BROOKFIELD, WI (CBS 58) - It s not often you get to sign to two different schools in the same year. Brookfield Central s David Joplin picked the perfect one for Milwaukee 414 Day, Marquette. It feels great. I can finally breath now, said David Joplin, Brookfield Central senior basketball player. Things happen for a reason so I m very happy and proud that he s staying home, said Lisa Joplin, David s Mom.
This decision is a long time coming. Joplin originally committed to Texas last year but things changed in March. Shaka Smart left the Longhorns and was announced as the Marquette Head Coach on March 26th.
