So shocking

[dddawson]

In the beginning John Dawson was either never mentioned....called a waste ...... Forgotten ... Or was a joke .....and now hes the answer.....the blame.....somebody's favorite ..... Not ready .... Some say he can't do this he can't do that .....and quiet as it's kept, has made some eat their words.  You haven't even gotten a full glimpse of what this kid can do .... BUT shhhhhhh YOU BETTER PAY ATTENTION cause he chose MARQUETTE out of 41 other D-1 (some who beat MU this year) schools all because he loves a challenge!!!  I'm waiting for the next topic about an 18 year old kid who nobody on this board really knows.

You talk about where did he come from .... Why is he here .... As if Marquette is in the business of wasting money .... A certified psycho can see that the young man is humble and hungry and is a legit BALLER  .... Even on the bench HES the first one up cheering and EVERYTIME he's questioned about how he feels, he answers with a team mentality.  Not selfish but needs nobody to tell him whether or not he can play, knows who he is on and off the court, loves the players on the team loves Buzz and is smart enough to learn from the vets and trust the coaches.  Ps.... The freshman are expected to make a few mistakes now and then but experience is the best teacher.   36 years coaching experience ..... 1300 kids trained each year .... Resume of D1,2,3, Juco and former plus current NBA players trained ..... Oh Dad!!! .... Your speculation is humorous and extremely  entertaining .... But I know one thing for sure ..... He can and is a BIG help for this team

Like to modify my previous comment, seeing that you identified yourself as being very close to John in a previous message.

I read this board way too much, and while I don't remember everything that has been written, I do not recall anything close to anyone calling him waste, forgotten, or a joke.  I can tell you, 99.9% of Mu fans are excited that JD chose Marquette, and see a TON of potential in his game.  He has a pretty shot, calm demeanor, and handles the ball well.

You are right, he will be a big help to this team.

Clearly the season has been tough one for the team, and it's nerdy fans who spend way too much time on the interwebs.  But the whole Dawson v. Wilson debate has spiraled out of control the past month, and many think it's not an either or, but a combination of both can help this team win ball games.

Also did anyone understand the sudden "36 years coaching experience" part of the rant? Is this this guy's resume' or what?

We are glad your son is on the team Mr. Dawson.  I assure you.  Fans can be a little goofy.

All the best.

Rev. Dawson (and this is John's dad BTW):

I really have liked what I have seen out of your son and am really glad that he likes the challenge..  I hope you had the chance to hear what Buzz said about him during the coaches show last week because it was very positive.  And you are right, people really do need to be mindful about what they say because it is a public forum.

Best of luck for the rest of this year and beyond.

Clearly

LOL...wow...

Much, Respect Dad. .

They'll learn sooner than later.

Love John Dawson!

[NersEllenson]

PREACH!

Thanks for posting.  Please keep John hungry and humble...his time will come and some of us know he'll be a very good player once given a good chance.

I've said it before - Buzz's loyalty is a double edge sword - he won't sell a vet out easily, at all as proven this year...so assuming John develops well at MU, and if for some reason one of the future PG recruits comes in as a star....

You can rest assured John will be able to shoot 8% from 3, 35% from 2 and 48% from 2 in 30 minutes of action and score 5.1ppg, and still have a LOCK on the starting job!!

Glad Dawson's on the team, glad he enjoys it here, glad he loves Buzz. I have no doubt he will continue to contribute positively this season and grow into a very important player for MU down the road.

Please Mr. Dawson (or any other parent of a player), for your sanity's sake DO NOT READ THIS OR ANY OTHER BAORD. I hope the players don't either. I know it would be hard not to, but it's way better if you just don't, especially if/when the team is struggling. Just my 2 cents.

Hey, its the internet.

Right but I have no idea what you're trying to say.  Like are you saying that you've coached all these people? Are you saying you've been watching a bunch of people? I don't know maybe I'm the only one not getting it.  I do love Dawson though.

No one get me wrong .... Please continue to speak your mind .... It's a free country and when I said it was very entertaining ..... I meant that, whether it's good, bad or ugly

Mr. Dawson,

I wouldn't recommend reading MU Scoop, or really any MU related message boards.  Everyone here is a die hard fan, and often things are said that would anger the player, or a family member.  In reality, I think all knowledgeable MU fans are very happy to have your son on the roster, and would love to see him get more minutes.  It is obvious the kid has a ton of talent - his time will come.

This year has been a frustrating one for all of us.  We're used to winning, and we haven't seen a whole lot of that this year.

@bagpiping .... It's what I've been doing for years running a league, coaching and training kids

[Lennys Tap]

I've said it before

Thousands of times

Gotcha starting to put the whole picture together. I deleted the first part of my response post now that I get what you were saying.

Nicely done!!

[Nevada233]

Reading these forums for players or Family is like taking Home Owners advice from a Homeless person.
People can always tell you how to do things they havent done for themselves...

But its the internet oh well.

[mixINaWILSON]

Dawson is a winner

[dddawson]

I love the fact he's at MU playing and getting that education ..... Thanks for the warning, but I always consider the source when I hear or read what people say.  Don't get me wrong he's not labeled a superstar by me being his parent and coach for years .... But the YOUNG DAWSON can play and looks pretty good

[KenoshaWarrior]

I admit I was one of the people that was not excited with a three star player, but I am excited to have him now.  That is all that matters.
