Dawson was described as a pass first guard, who can shoot and is athletic. If so should be great in open court.

he's 6'3 and still growing ..... I'm his dad and will tell you that he truly had 37 offers with high majors still calling even though he chose MU.  he didn't just grab the opportunity because he felt it was a one time deal, but because he trusted GOD for his path and was strongly recruited by buzz and brad and who flew out to our home 3 times this month alone and showed him great love from a great program!!! .... just recd 13 calls yesterday from BCS schools that want him to not sign with MU in NOV so that they can get on board.  JohnJohn is EXCITED to be a part of the MU family and so are we!!! .... long way from home ..... lots and lots of hard work .... and is excited to get even better!!! .... i truly believe MU is and will be blessed by his talent .... i'm excited!!!
Sir, glad your son is now part of the MU family. Get excited for great basketball and a great education experience for your son.
Goal is National Championship

First, congratulations. I'm happy to see John added to the MU family, and am glad at your excitement. Second, and I intend no disrespect (and am actually hoping to save you and yours future disrespect) I really feel it would be better for you and your family to avoid posting on this site. As valuable as the insider info you can offer may be to us, when recruits and their families post here, it never ends well. While many will welcome you with open arms today, I can't promise the same warm reception when things aren't going as well.

For the most part, I think MU is a warm, caring community that will be a great environment to help your son go from being a boy to a man. But this website is full of the most diehard fans, the people that live and die with every basket, and unfortunately that level of fanaticism can lead to some unnecessary and hurtful vitriol at times. That isn't any good for your son or the rest of your family.

Again, warmest welcome to Marquette, but be careful with these types of sites. They aren't always as happy as they initially appear.

My first instinct is to always "trust Buzz."  Dawson's dad comments (assuming it is indeed him) makes me feel a lot better about this signing.  The insight he gave suggests he is a much more highly thought of recruit that the (often inaccurate) rating services.  Congrats to Buzz/Brad and the Dawsons.

And let me second Brew's comment.  In the long run you would be best serve to leave this board to the anonymous fanatics that traffic it.  Some of the comments here can be cruel and hurtful for those directly involved, especially as Brew suggests, when things do not go as planned.  And that happens to everyone at times.

Hopefully you will be able to measure the comments here appropriately and not let it change your opinion of the program, Buzz, Brad or the larger MU community.

Welcome

Yeah, I have. I would definitely take Sante Fe over Milwaukee in a heartbeat.

Are you 18?

And that would matter, why?

When I was 18 bright lights, big city was were it was at, now I'd definitely go for beautiful New Mexico scenery, too.  John Dawson is closer to 18.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

If you want bright lights, big city, you ain't coming to Milwaukee. Look, I think Milwaukee is a great little town, but it comes up a wee bit short in the glamour department. New York...Los Angeles...Miami...Chicago...Milwaukee?

You have to put it in perspective. When you're from a town of 40K with the nearest interstate hours away, a metropolitan population of over 1M with Chicago, Madison, an Green Bay all within 2 hours, that's a pretty big city. And the lights at a top-25 school in the Big East certainly shine a lot brighter than they do in Clovis.

It's not NYC, LA, or Chicago, but it's a lot closer to those than where he's from.

All depends on where you are from, my man.

If you are from NYC, Milwaukee looks like a farm.

MU was a long way from home for me too! Although Clovis is probably further. He'll love it, be on a national championship team in 2014 and get a great education.

What more can you ask for?????

Tell him to bring his long underwear and a good pair of waterproof boots! You'll need it in January and February!
