Northwestern should be Buzz's blueprint...

@lenny .... Guesstimating what Dawson will do is totally out of order .... Per your number game .... Not fair to Derrick either .... Derricks and young Dawson's games are different, and if mixed during games would totally work for MARQUETTE .  Young Dawson is only 18yrs old and 3months into the program showing great promise.  Getting to go against Derrick in practice and learning from the vets is a great position to be in for the future.    Wait TIL we all can see young Dawson in some other plus min roles and then make your determination, which will be your opinion....hint hint.   Derrick is doing Derrick and I love that about him .... Young Dawson is staying patient...humble and hungry and loving MARQUETTE (not the weather)

I think John can be a really good player at MU. Maybe in addition to backing up Derrick he sees some time at the 2/3 this year. Think he could help us there.

Excellent perspective. I don't think John had the same exposure to playing against top talent in HS like some of the other guys had. He's started a little behind some of the other frosh but is learning the college game every day. And being behind someone who works as hard as Derrick will only help him in the future.

For everyone ... dddawson is John Dawson's father.

Mr. Dawson

Please understand this is a fan message board.  I hope Buzz warned you that this means it's a bunch of unknowing fans (aka yahoos) talking out their backsides (me included).  Half the time people make up stuff just to get people to respond.  So, please do not let any of the BS spewed here affect your or John's opinion of MU.

Sir, it is a privilege to have your son on this team.  You should be proud of him in every way.  I'm glad he is enjoying MU.  Tell him not every winter is this bad.
