Haanif Cheatham fights off a Purdue double-team. He will leave Marquette effective immediately.
Junior shooting guard Haanif Cheatham will leave the Marquette basketball team immediately for personal reasons, per a press release.
Cheatham was a major contributor for the Golden Eagles, starting each of Marquette’s first five games and averaging 8.2 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.
“We want to thank Haanif for his contributions to the program and wish him the best of luck as he looks to continue his career elsewhere,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said.
Cheatham was part of Marquette’s vaunted 2016 recruiting class along with one-and-done power forward Henry Ellenson.
