@WisBBYearbook: Former Marquette guard John Dawson has opted to transfer to Liberty University.
Sounds about right.
Coached by Buzz pal Dale Layer.
Good for him and his family. Best of luck!
Wow. I guess his dad is a preacher. If PT was the goal, should be ample opportunity there.
Best of luck to Dawson (and to his father). As a transplant from the Southwest myself, I was really excited to see him coming to Marquette and hoped things would work out for him. I hope the opportunity at Liberty works out for him.
All I know about Liberty I learned from Samantha Steele-Ponder. Worthy choice.
Best of luck to Dawson! As I have stated earlier, watching kids transfer is like watching kids leave the nest at home. You don't want it to happen but you (almost) always wish them the best.
Watching a coach "transfer", on the other hand, is more like a messy divorce; generally not as sweet and certainly not going to be characterized by well wishes.

And right up the road from Buzz in Lynchburg, Va. That is some rural country....
Good luck, God speed to John and his Dad.
Not that Dawson needs my approval (or anybody else'), but this seems an outstanding place for him to have landed. I hope he gets a ton of playing time and gets everything out of his college experience he wants.
Best of luck to John....Ners must be crushed....

Is Liberty the crazy-religious place that banned interracial dating and Democrats or am I confusing that with another one?

You're thinking Bob Jones University.
Liberty is the crazy-religious place founded by Jerry Falwell. They have interesting biology classes, no doubt.

Yep, the interracial ban was Bob Jones. But I got interested and found some nuggets from the Liberty University Handbook.
On dating: Handholding is the only appropriate form of personal contact. ... After dusk, students should not be alone with an individual of the opposite sex in any unlighted area such as the ball fields, parking lots, parked cars, ravine or other wooded areas, etc. This is considered improper social behavior.
And entertainment: No "R" rated movies and ... the Division of Student Affairs will continue teaching guidelines and principles to students related to all forms of entertainment. This would mean that many "PG-13" and some "PG" movies, although not prohibited by policy, may also be inappropriate.
Looks like John will have plenty of time to focus on basketball!

Seeing the excerpts from the Liberty handbook, he certainly doesn't seem like a sinner.
I like this choice for John. I spent some significant time on business back in the day in Lynchburg. It is a scenic area and the school is growing at steady pace. Looking forward to seeing him lead The Flames into the tourney next year. Will miss him this year but hope he hits the books hard and gets some momentum.
I've met 4-5 people who've graduated from Liberty and they've all been high quality people....top shelf. I am happy for John landing there....he enjoys the team, gets a good degree and has a great life.
I hope all these guys we watch and root for coming thru Marquette figure out life without basketball. I wonder what percent of them spend 1yr or more playing bball for a living?
I would like to hear Ners thoughts on this. He must be almost done with his ban??

So, when MU plays Liberty we probably shouldn't expect many porn stars in the famous alumni thread?

I'm guessing (hoping) that Keefe takes that as a personal challenge. No reason to wait for the game to be scheduled...it seems to me like you've already called him out. Keefe?
Liberty went all out to get Dawson...
Schools like Texas Tech, University of Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho State and Murray state were in the running but Liberty had the best situation to come in and be a key part of the team from Day 1. Our Family is happy with his decision and wish him the best. The Coaching staff went all out to recruit him and hes up for the challenge.... Also Liberty has a 90% chance of joining conference USA next year and also is rumored to want to get a game in the Non Conference against "Marquette"......

Good luck to John. I really wanted to see him flourish here.
Also looked up LU. Didn't know Lynchburg was named after a 17 year old John Lynch.
"First settled in 1757, Lynchburg was named for its founder, John Lynch, who at the age of 17 started a ferry service at a ford across the James River to carry traffic to and from New London. "

Buzz Williams was actually was a key player in making it happen he spoke very high of John and told them that John was a hard worker and good kid.
Brad Autry wanted him at Hawaii bad but hes not a head coach and they didnt have a scholarship available until after this season.
Glad to know that Buzz is still using his vast network of contacts to try to find a good fit for JD. Well done, Buzz.

Wish John the best. Any idea if he has a chance to have the four minutes waived to get the redshirt? Or if they'll institute the Josh Smith WTF Rule and not only forgive the minutes (81 in that case!) but let him play right away next year instead of after the semester?
The Liberty Message Board if you're interested, they certainly picked up the Buzz connection.

I was always impressed with how engaged John was on the bench. I hope he does very well at Liberty. He seems like a great kid.
Also, I hope he can get some kind of waiver on those four minutes.

Most likely your skepticism is correct and rather than writing what he posted, he got it from somewhere else and just didn't attribute it to the actual author.
Good for JD. Hard to pass up Colorado and Boulder (who actually have put together a nice program recently) and Hawaii, who is getting better, but they must have shown him some good stuff, glad to see him land on his feet.

Liberty is working with the NCAA to get his season back. No official word yet.
The fact their changing conferences, to Conference USA and flew to New Mexico on a moments notice to recruit him meant alot.
Texas Tech and Colorado expressed intrest also but he went where he felt was best for him.
Buzz and Brad did the right thing by him even tho they left MU already, their word of approval was significant.
I dont live in Nevada lol, I live in Delaware.... Virginias not far at all..
Liberty is a good school with a good program. 2 years at Marquette have certainly helped him out and it will be good to see him play.

It isn't religious universities generally; it's the schools run by extremists, with rules that go over the top.
I don't recall MU prohibiting me from watching R rated movies or going any further than holding hands with a girl.

Between that and the hand holding limit, 95% of my freshman class would have been expelled before the first day of classes...most of us with multiple violations of the code of conduct. ;D

Agree. I think it's disgusting, wrong headed and extreme when preachers use tragedies to justify their whacky world view. Whether it's Jerry Fawell or Jeremiah Wright, their "Chickens come home to roost" drivel should be condemned for what it is. Thinking that we were being punished for secularism, militarism or any other ism is just crackpots using senseless tragedy to push an agenda. Extreme.

What is the difference between having a code of conduct at Liberty versus the rampant political correctness at almost any other institution? In my book none. In fact a place like Liberty is actually very inclusive when it comes to other religions., especially the Jewish religion. My dealing with the University on a business transaction was very favorable. First class people . Not the bible beaters they are made out to be at all.

I assume by "rampant political correctness" you mean using inclusive and non-prejudicial languages/practices.
And take it from someone who works in higher education, they are NOTHING alike. Universities like Liberty are notorious for their discrimination against the LGTQ community and other religions...especially atheists. They also tend support policies that promote patriarchal societies and disenfranchise women. Of course, they are a private, religious institution, so they absolutely have that right.

It will be interesting to see if Dawson transfers again. Maybe if he leaves at the end of the semester he can salvage 2 years of eligiblity starting in 2016-17.
I wonder if he will be the only Marquette transfer to see his college coach leave before playing for him. Hearing that the Bulls may want to fire Thibs and replace him with Hoiberg.

Speaking of squirmy....Gar Forman coached Fred under Tim Floyd at ISU so that rumor is very solid. Floyd and Forman are 10's on the Squirm-o-meter.
I feel bad for John. I wish him nothing but the best. This is one of those moments where, if he weren't banned, I would be peeking at what ners had to say and LMFAO.
Tough break for Dawson.
If he has family or friends reading this, I wish him (and his family) best of luck.
Hope he finds a situation he likes (maybe it's still Liberty).
