Horrendously coached year...

[The Sultan of Silly]

Can't believe the amount of uncontested 3's we allow and the low minutes for good players like Burton.

Buzz is going to have some key transfers this year and he deserves them...this is on him.

[77ncaachamps]

Buzz is doing what he can with this club, but allowing this horrendous backcourt to continue without getting the young guys experience or a chance blows my mind.

That kills me too...

who is going to transfer? care to put a wager on it?

If I had to bet i'd take say JJJ.

Hopefully most of the posters on the game thread will find a new team to cheer for next season.

I hope JJJ stays.

But he was your son, wouldn't you be looking elsewhere?

[4everwarriors]

DuW?

[MerrittsMustache]

I hope JJJ stays.

But he was your son, wouldn't you be looking elsewhere?

Why? Because he missed a lot of practice time with an injury and hasn't earned his playing time when healthy? I'd tell my son that if he wants to play more, he should get better.

[The Sultan of Silly]

We'll lose 2 of Duane Wilson, Jajuan Johnson, Deonte Burton and Steve Taylor.

[KenoshaWarrior]

We are not losing Duane Wilson after he convinced Luke Fisher to transfer here.


JJJ will transfer however.

fine. don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. i want players who want to be here.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

This is why I absolutely hate this board cause you all think you know exactly what a college kid is thinking. I do agree Buzz has struggled this year with coaching but you have no clue what goes through these kids minds.

[Boozemon Barro]

Just when I think you can't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!

[Nevada233]

I hope JJJ stays.

Of course.... To be a Top 40 player who played +30 Mpg coming out of High School, leave Memphis turning down offers to be benched inexplicably for games at a time barring hes not hurt.... I'd be on the phone...

Just out of curiosity, why would any high ranked HIGH SCHOOL player want to come here, based on what has happened this year?  

[77ncaachamps]

Why? Because he missed a lot of practice time with an injury and hasn't earned his playing time when healthy? I'd tell my son that if he wants to play more, he should get better.

Maybe. He can sit out a year upon transferring and get stronger.

But you're right. A month out with an ankle injury (sprain) may not be enough.

[jesmu84]

Of course.... To be a Top 40 player who played 38 Mpg coming out of High School, leave Memphis turning down offers to be benched inexplicably for games at a time barring hes not hurt.... I'd be on the phone...

inexplicably? i bet buzz is telling him exactly why. just because he's not telling you, doesn't mean JJJ doesn't know.

[chapman]

I hope JJJ stays.

But he was your son, wouldn't you be looking elsewhere?

Without lengthy explanation, yes I would.

[jesmu84]

because they want to play for marquette and buzz williams. that's why.

38 mpg in high school?! DANG!  His team must've went into at least double OT every single game!

[WarriorFan]

Just out of curiosity, why would any high ranked HIGH SCHOOL player want to come here, based on what has happened this year?  

... Because college is a 4 year process of growth and maturation.

[BenCat12]

, nice answer.

[wadesworld]

Am I the only person who transferred after my freshman year of college because I was told I couldn't be a MD after 1 year?

[NersEllenson]

This is why I absolutely hate this board cause you all think you know exactly what a college kid is thinking. I do agree Buzz has struggled this year with coaching but you have no clue what goes through these kids minds.

I can tell you that all of these kids are used to being stars...and they all put in the same work basically once on campus in the way of practice time/workouts.

If you are a talented freshman, and are sitting behind a guy who is really struggling...what do you think is going through your head?  What do you think the people close to you - friends, family, inner circle start telling you?

At least in JJJ's case he has Mayo in front of him...and Jake..who is the only reliable 3 point threat.  But Burton and Dawson??  

I absolutely concede Burton and Dawson aren't near the defenders of Juan and Derrick...but...we've tried the other way for 27 games now...and we almost lost what should have been as close to a lock of a game as possible today.  Team isn't going ANYWHERE with this backcourt..
