Burnett leaving Texas Tech

Wow. Didn't see this coming. I guess only logging 6 minutes the other night was the final straw for him. In all fairness, he didn't exactly earn starter minutes. Woeful shooting. He'll need another year or two before even contemplating the jump to the league.
 
This was an awful fit from the start(Chicago kid in Lubbock that wanted to play uptempo free flowing basketball), I can see him transferring to Michigan

I could see that. Illinois will be involved as well, but I m not sure how hard we will pursue for various reasons. Mainly, we need bigs more than guards...but you cant have enough guards.

naw, he's a lock for DePaul. Chance to be close to home during these trying times.

Apparently quit by text. And there are tweets from family and friends telling him to come home because he isn't being treated right. Hate to see it.
 
I don't know this guy's situation. I imagine it's similar to a lot of players. I do not know how any coach can sustain anything the way college basketball is these days, and I'm not even thinking about COVID obstacles.

A lot of fans probably would love to have this player transfer in, rightfully so I guess? Would love to see research on top tier HS recruits that transfer and how they do at destination #2, especially somehow locking in on guys with unimpressive stats.
