6'3 guard averaged 13.7 ppg as a sophomore. So he's a sit-out transfer. Looks like he is from Milwaukee, too. Included us on his list along with Nevada, Arizona, TCU, TAMU, wisconsin, Iowa State (of course), Miami.

Intriguing.

Seems like a bigger Duane Wilson to me.

More of a proven basketball player than either Sacar or Sandy IMO. With JJJ and Reinhardt leaving after this year...

Also, was a teammate of Luke Fischer at Germantown HS.

Yeah. I wouldn't hate it at all. I just hope he would be able to understand and accept that while he was "the man" at Buffalo, he may not necessarily be that at Marquette. If he can do that then he'd be a great addition. I'd love to have him with a year to get acclimated, work on individual stuff, hit the weights for a year, and then be good to play a year later. Having him and Sacar redshirthing this year would be great.

Not a great shooter, though.

Suspended 3 games last season for marijuana use.

Red flag?

Only red flag is he was dumb enough to get caught.

Are you sure? Him and his brother transferred in from Homestead, and he's 2 years younger.

Is it a red flag that he used marajuana? No.

Is it a red flag that he was suspended and harmed his team in the process? Yes. Wojo would need to address this, but if he is satisfied with Bearden's response, I would have no further problem.

If we go back to 2013 on this website...

Lamonte Bearden of powerhouse Germantown... going to Buffalo... think he potentially could continue developing and be a HM guy.. but at a Buffalo, should do well. Pass, dribble, shoot.. he can get it all working in a game with decent pace. Fun to watch.

and, 2014...

Quote from: Jay Bee on January 15, 2014, 07:16:59 PM

PS - Bearden could do better than Buffalo. Not saying he should or should have.

They played together for one year in 2013 and won the state championship. Bearden was a junior and Fischer was a senior. Bearded played for Homestead in 2011, 2012.

This is correct.

JamilJaeJamailJrJuan · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2016, 10:58:24 AM »

Is he a true point or more of a two guard? He doesn't appear to be much of long range shooter.

Gotcha, thanks. Wasn't sure if they overlapped while at Homestead. Not sure why I thought there were 2 years between their graduating classes.

Marcus92 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2016, 11:21:48 AM »

Significantly reduced his turnover rate while increasing his usage between freshman and sophomore year. His 3-point shooting is dreadful (although slightly better than Junior Cadougan's).

Dawson Rental · « **Reply #19 on:** July 13, 2016, 11:59:55 AM »

This guy's not exactly making my toes tingle. Is he really better than what we already have? Aren't we looking for guys who can hit the three? What kind of competition was he facing at Buffalo? Isn't the roster already unbalanced toward guards?

brewcity77 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 13, 2016, 12:49:16 PM »

Bearden would be in the same class as Carter and a year ahead of Howard (not to mention Rowsey still around for a year). I think he's a fine player, but don't see him filling a need. We have three guys I like as much or better in 2017-18. We're building around shooting and he doesn't seem to do that well. I like what he can do, just not sure he fits on this team.
