Damn.
Incredibly explosive athlete, that is also one of the most prolific shooters in his class. Imagine someone that lethal on offense under Fred from the get go. We will be in need of someone to carry the scoring load in 2016. Like BDJ against the Razorbacks.
Deonte Burton is transferring from Marquette. He is a Milwaukee kid, an area we've had good ties to in the past, and we recruited him out of high school. I believe he's in his sophomore year, so he'd sit a year and have 2 to play. Top 50 kid out of high school, Big East All Rookie team last year.
It must be a bad situation to announce it at this point in the season. Why not just ride it out, make the most of it this season, and wait to see what happens? He already lost the season of eligibility, whether he declares his intention to transfer now, or waits until the end of the season. I guess the one advantage I can see is that he might be able to get on his new campus a semester earlier this way, and start integrating with his new team.
In theory, he could find his school before the spring semester and thus be eligible around this point next year (like McKay). MU has a new coach and if it isn't working (system, playing time, recruited over) no sense riding the bench an burning a extra semester of eligbility.
Also, he may have more suitors/options now vs. later when schools' available scholarship are filled.
Just like mccay. Leave school now and you can play next year. I think Burton would get 2.5 year of elg after sitting out one.
Would have to pay his own way second semester like McKay did last year. We don't have any spots this year
Why would he get 2.5? He burnt his Sophomore year the first game he played this season.
I think he meant he won't get 2.5, but will be able to play 1.5 a half year ahead of time.
Maybe, but then he only gets to play 1.5 more years. If he finishes this season and sits out a year, he'll get to play a full 2 years. I guess it is a trade-off. Give up a half-year of playing time in exchange for a shorter wait to get back into action.
