Burton and Dawson to Transer

Knew Dawson was leaving, but Deonte surprised me, being a local kid. Wow.

BM1090

Well then. Down to 8 guys. Not really concerned about Dawson, but Burton....wow

GGGG

Yeah, not surprised on Dawson.  But Burton?  I would have never guessed that a couple months ago, but it may not be that surprising.  I don't think his game fits what Wojo wants to do.

Shark

That's dissapointing. Oh well. Future is still bright as f*xk

Eldon

Sigh

This is disheartening news. Of course, I wish them all the best.

I hope that Wojo doesn't severely restrict their transfer list.

Really shocking to see Burton go.  Definitely my favorite player to watch; it is a shame to see.

Three scholarships now available next year.  I would hope that at least one of these is for a graduate transfer or Juco that can play immediately.

This is distressing news regarding Burton's intended departure.

Pakuni

Surprised .... but maybe shouldn't be. Deonte has looked kind of lost out there this year and maybe there wasn't much PT in his future at MU.
I'm sure he'll do well if he finds himself in a good situation elsewhere.

So they're gone for the second half of the season?

Although,  I am not shocked fully. Once I learned of his family situation I realized that might be the only thing tying him to here. I wish both of them success wherever they go unless they are playing against Marquette.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.



TAMU, Knower of Ball

I think this is the first time since Mbakwe that I'm legitimately disheartened by a transfer leaving. I really think Burton is going to be something special.

Best of luck to the both of them. They have been fantastic members of the Marquette community. I hope they find places they can call home.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

any indication on what schools they unable to transfer to?

wadesworld

Burton is not Wojo's type of player.  Very talented no doubt and he will have success, but he was as much of a Buzz guy as you could find.  And Wojo's ideal of how the game should be played is much different from Buzz's.  Which is why we have seen the difficulties we have so far early in this season with guys just like Burton.

Again, stinks because Burton has talent, but at the same time he doesn't fit what Wojo is trying to do/isn't the type of player Wojo is looking for.

Silkk the Shaka

2 consecutive seasons watching Derrick Wilson rack up 32+ mpg while you're virtually glued to the pine would make anyone want to transfer. Should be interesting to see where both end up. Disappointing.

What has shown you that, outside of the BET game last year?

The kid hasn't been able to be coached by two head coaches now. Unable, or unwilling, to rebound or grasp elementary defensive concepts. If another coach can reach him, good for both of them. I'd rather have Wojo get his guys in sooner rather than later.

Well I know Burton's contributions so far this season have been less than was expected, but most of us assumed/hoped it had to do with his personal loss of family.  I think most of us knew that for us to be successful enough to sniff the tournament we needed an improved Burton regardless of Fisher's impact.

This makes this season truly difficult moving forward IMO.

Nothing so far.  My guess is that it will only be BE schools.

I was just hoping they were only Transer'n.

Transfer it is.  Best of luck then.
