John Dawson to ...

Liberty University where he'll play for former MU assistant Dale Layer.

Interesting. Just assumed he would transfer closer to home but now he's further away. Wonder if Buzz helped arrange that?

Good luck to the young man!

Wow - Liberty? Got to wonder if Buzz or Brad Autry was involved in that deal.

Buzz? Doubt it.

Brad? I would guess yes.

Good fit for him I'd imagine, he will excel there.

The place completely weirds me out, and I cannot imagine why anybody but preacher's kids would want to play there. Then again, Dawson is apparently a preacher's kid. So perhaps it is a good fit for him. Places like Liberty do offer something that other schools do not. It doesn't appeal to me, but it does to some people. In fairness, there are a lot of people, particularly in Wisconsin, who say the same thing about Catholic universities.

Nevada on Scoop, who is a family member of some sort, said "Buzz Williams was actually was a key player in making it happen..."

WRT Autry, "Brad Autry wanted him at Hawaii bad but hes not a head coach and they didnt have a scholarship available until after this season."

An interesting corollary to this scenario is that Dawson did not land in Blacksburg with Buzz.....:confused: Rather telling?

The poster know as Nevada on Scoop also said, "The fact their changing conferences, to Conference USA and flew to New Mexico on a moments notice to recruit him meant alot."

is Liberty really joining CUSA? I hadn't heard that....seems like a bizarre move for the conference.
