Oso planning to go pro
Grades?Deonte was sticking around for his mom. Maybe there's nothing tethering him to the city anymore.
Thanks for this post.Defaulting to 'doesn't fit what Wojo is looking for' is intentionally turning a blind eye to the reality that a young, still developing and talented player is leaving the program
I doubt that. He's a 2. Those guys are 4 and 5s.
I think Burton is dribble-drive, "paint touches" type of player. I think Wojo wants more floor spacing and shooting ability. If you look at the players he is bringing it, I think they generally fit that mold.
Deonte is a great athlete but I'm not sure he's a great basketball player. The guys we are recruiting seem to have received great coaching. The one real chance Deonte had at that was Brewster and he didn't last long at all. I think this is one more example of the cultural shift we are undergoing.
4-4 plus coaches
Keep playing a scrub like Juan Anderson instead of a better player with more upside like Burton and this is what you get.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
To those who say Deonte didn't fit what Wojo was looking for- what exactly is the mold Wojo is looking for, and what about Deonte didn't fit that mold?
Who is turning a blind eye? I don't think Wojo is generally interested in players with his type of game. That isn't an excuse. I wish it could have worked. But it didn't.
It took 3 pages but I knew we would get one eventually
Sultan, it implies that had Wojo wanted him here he'd still be here. This could be 100% Burton's decision and Wojo could have done everything in his power to keep him here for all we know.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
