'10 CA PG Deonte Burton (Nevada Verbal)

Deonte Burton | 6-1 | G | Centennial | 2010
He can do it all. Score with the best of them. Distribute the ball in traffic. Bang underneath the basket and grab the occasional board. And when the situation calls for it, Burton is fully capable of locking down the opponent’s top player on the defensive end of the floor. Indeed, he’s about as well-rounded as they come. That said, we find it a tad bit surprising he’s not being more heavily recruited. Perhaps his size, or lack thereof, is scaring schools away. In the end, some college coach is going to be lucky to land Burton and have him onboard

In that case thank you for visiting and we hope Deonte enjoys his visit to Cincinnati!

Count me as one fan that hopes he likes it enough to sign. In my opinion he is an instant starter in the backcourt. Him and Lance would be very fun to watch together.

Agreed. I think overall the combination of Burton, Lance, Parker and Wright would be very strong.

I'm very much hoping we can see this young man suit up in a Bearcat uniform. Sounds like he can fill it up from 3. If he keeps that touch and is not a defensive liability playing time won't be an issue at all.

I think we can all agree that 3-point shooting is the biggest hole on this team, and as was mentioned on the first page of this thread, if we had it this year we would all be talking about how good it felt to be in the NCAA tournament again.

Plus we need to replace the loss of our last Deonta with a new Deonte.

So you have this guy that you've only seen video clips being an instant starter next year over Parker or Cash? I may have to disagree with you.

All I can go off are highlight reels I've seen and evaluations people have typed up... from that, there is constant message of a strong shooter who plays defense... no, he may not come in and start right away, but he'd definitely contend for major minutes...

And with reference to schools he's being sought after by Kansas State. Boston College,New Mexico, Washington State, Nevada, UCLA and of course Cincinnati. As of now, he's visited Nevada and UCLA, and is planning on visiting Cincinnati, Washington State and Boston College.

Thanks for visiting and please keep us updated.

Deonte seems like a class act and would greatly contribute to what we're trying to accomplish here at UC.

Thanks again for posting. There are a lot of passionate Bearcat fans that would love for him to join the Bearcat family. Hope he enjoys his visit to the Queen city.
