The absolute max you can keep on a team is 19 or 20, and that´s pushing it. I figure at least 6 or 7 more from either the current roster or the recruiting class will not be around when the dust settles. Possibly more.

Dawson played 4 minutes in Marquette's season opener then decided to transfer after not getting any minutes in their next 7 games. He was terrible as a freshman, so it's not like he had earned playing time.
He has played in 2 of their 3 games, a total of 30 minutes and has a grand total of 2 points on 1-7 shooting overall and 0-5 from 3
Great move Wojo, and really classy playing Dawson for 4 minutes and costing him a year of eligibility

Sure, it would be nice for him to have another year at Liberty, but come on.It wasn't games It was one game 4 minutes There was no real reason to put him in that game, and if he didn't know that could cost the kid a year, he should have

adam42381 wrote:It was their first game. He didn't get to play in the next 7 (which were closer games against better teams) and decided to quit. I'm sure he would have gotten minutes in other blowout games later in the year if he'd stuck around. He wasn't good enough to play Big East basketball. It's that simple.So, every player who transfers when their coach (in this case a new coach who did not recruit him) makes it clear you do not fit into his plans and are not going to play, is a quitter

adam42381 wrote:Not at all. I just don't think the coach can be faulted for playing someone in the first game of the year. To think that the coach played him 4 minutes to burn his eligibility is a bit unrealistic.I played in 6 games a total of 8 minutes my freshman year. I dressed the entire year and therefore burned that season. At the end of my career I was told a petition was filed to get my year back and was denied. The blame should be with the NCAA IMO. Coaches can't always tell how players will turn out that early in their career. playing that little and losing a year of eligibility should not be allowed. You should be able to retroactively apply for a red-shirt IMO. But certainly waivers in these cases should be considered and approved at a higher rate.

Rowsey's transfer as with Hornsby and many others that have left the Big South for greener pastures was a mistake, again in my opinion.

I think we should do whatever Tech and UVA do as[…]
