Good for Wojo

@AndrewGruman: Wojo says he doesn't believe in placing restrictions on transferring players. He says Deonte Burton & John Dawson can go anywhere.

Glad he's taking that approach. Some of the restrictions that schools put on kids are ridiculous. Let them find the best fit.

Good for Wojo.

Our coach is a good man. I am sure that as a former player he understands things from the student-athlete's perspective. I am proud to say Wojo is our coach.

(Compare that with Bo Ryan...No thank you)

I'm assuming the BEast is still off limits by conference rule.  Personally, my standing restriction would be anywhere within the conference and Wisconsin.  And I'd fully understand Bucky's reluctance to allow a player to transfer from Madison to MU.  Other than that, find your best fit and go for it.

Oh the irony of that idea (even if it is true!)...that Wojo will be looked upon more favorably by guys who might later be looking for a way out.

I don't think kids commit to schools thinking they'll one day be looking for a way out.

You are torn between two schools and someone points out that school A puts restrictions on and school B does not. It could be the deciding factor.

I don't think it's off limits but the "penalty" is stricter, like two years off or additional eligibility lost.  As with most things in life I'm too lazy to look it up and will just put whatever I remember down in an official capacity.

Wow.  That's really amazing, especially in today's changing landscape where hundreds of basketball players transfer in a given year.

Cue the haters that will spin this as, "Well, yea, those two weren't any good.  Let them be a drain on another program, preferably a rival."  SMH. 

Deonte and John have a wonderful opportunity that few D1 transfers receive: choosing their best fit, regardless of location and/or conference alignment.  I wish them well (again).

Sometimes an action speaks to a bigger picture.  Can be a sign of one's character.

Wow, major props.

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

Anyone know if Wojo has answered any questions on the transfers yet?

GooooMarquette

Great to hear.  Sends a positive message, even out of an unfortunate situation.

Now that you mention it I think I remember something along these lines.  Thanks.

This should be a rule in college sports.

Maybe as new, younger coaches who played major D-1 athletics start to take over programs, they will shepherd in a change.

He took the high road pretty much gave the company answer.. "Transfers happen, Its part of the culture now a days, playing time is earned in practice, when I came up it was like this and that, I wish John and Deonte nothing but the best..."

As far as John and Deonte both players have intriguing offers, won't get specific but they both have offers and will play college basketball again.

Mind blowing, you mean to tell me, with certainty, they will play college basketball again? :)

Right.  We are just used to hearing about guys like Bo so that clouds our thinking.

I also think, if their is a coaching change, the year sit-out rule should be suspended for a transfer in good standing.

All the rule does is protect the coach and the school....this is suppose to be about the student athletes.

Maybe you're right, but all the coverage Bo got for Uthoff makes it seem otherwise.

The year sit-out rule should be done away with under any circumstance. As you say, that is not about the player, it's about protecting the schools only. The only restriction should be mid-year transfer, where Deonte Burton, as an expample could not transfer from MU and be playing at ABCU the next week. Similar to the contractual obligations in the rest of pro sports. If these guys are on one year renewable contracts, I think its fine to enforce that within the year, but if they want to transfer during the off season, and sign a "free agent contract" with another school, there is no good reason for the NCAA to force them to sit out a year.
