I get where you're coming from with this, but I'm not worried about losing any of our 2013 class. Burton has talked about wanting to be the face of basketball in Milwaukee. He is the kind of leader you want, and he wants to be at Marquette. He came back from Brewster in part to start building up the MU program he already seemed to know he'd commit to by improving his connections with local guys. The guy was spending seemingly every day working out at the Al leading up to his commitment. And Wilson talks constantly on Twitter about how proud he is to be a Golden Eagle (okay...we may need to work on that ) and how he's Marquette for life.

If we were bringing in two guys that were out-of-state recruits, guys that were significantly on the fence, I'd be worried. But I don't think we have anything to worry about when it comes to Burton or Wilson. In all honesty, they may be more crucial to our 2014 and 2015 recruiting classes than any assistant coach we have or have had.
