Throwin' It Down with Deonte Burton

[Final42b]

Best part was Walters asking him to do certain dunks and he's just like "I have a little something for you". Seems like a great kid on top of being a stupid good athlete.

You're probably right but Jon Rothstein of CBS sports said in a Dec 20 article that he would become eligible this coming December and would have 2 1/2 years of eligibility. Maybe that's if he gets the NCAA waiver.

Walters said he played 1.5 years at Marquette before transferring at semester. 4 -1.5 = 2.5.......right? Am I missing something? He'll be a sophomore won't he?

No, there are no partial years, so him playing 1.5 at MU equates to 2 full years of eligibility used. He has to sit out one full year on the transfer, so essentially he can either:

A) Sit out first semester next year and have 1.5 to play

or

B) Sit out the ENTIRE year next year, and have 2 FULL seasons in 2015-16 and 2016-17
