I hope he really enjoys his visit and UC has the academics that he is looking for. We are all rooting the Deonte finds that UC is where he wants to continue to mature into a young adult.
 
I hope he has a fantastic time, but also sees things that let him know if UC is the right place for him or not. It's a big step for any young man, and feeling comfortable is so important. I have no doubt he'll find the campus to his liking and will love the players and coaches...if he trusts himself and his family and makes a reasoned choice he can't go wrong.

There is definitely a chance for Deonte to be part of something special at UC, though. I will be thinking of that and hoping his visit goes the way he wants it to go.

Thank you for posting here. I hope this big decision in his life works out exactly to his and your entire family's liking. We all would love to have him in a Bearcat uniform next year but more importantly, I hope he makes the best possible decision for him from a basketball and academic perspective. It sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders so I am sure he will make the right decision for him.

+1 100%.

Dead on... we all want him to be a Bearcat, but this young man and his family sound like they are doing things the right way and he has a good foundation underneath him... it seems certain they will make an intelligent, informed decision... lets just hope it's UC!!!
 
Let me also say it's a pleasure to have you post! I saw Deonte in Tevor Ariza's tournament and think he is a special young man. love the heart he plays with and he never takes a play off. It's great to see the family so involved!!
 
thanks to all of you. you all have such good and positive things to say about deonte that it's been my pleasure. and a definite big thanks to those of you who are concerned about his academics and not just his ball playing.
 
Gina doesn't mean us (BCT folks) specifically, but the UC people in general showing her son a good time. We don't intend to/or have set up a meeting with them at all.

I'm certain that the people at UC will be very gracious, and Deonte will have a wonderful visit.
 
Let me clarify. I'm not saying a commit is eminent. Just that all indications are that he has enjoyed the trip, and gotten along well with his hosts and the team. But that in and of itself is great news. That's all I feel comfortable posting at this point. I know many are curious and hopeful so I wanted to share what I was told an hour or so ago.

I think distance is the final hurdle to clear... it's going to be a giant leap of faith for him to decide to go to school almost completely across the nation... but, the overwhelming positives have been stated at length on here... strong forensics program, Big East ball, almost certain PT as a freshmen at the guard position... it's wait and see time... any idea when a decision will be reached?

This is terrific news. From what has been said about him, it certainly seems like UC would benefit greatly from having a player like Deonte in uniform.

Thanks for the updates.

Thanks for your input. We all want Deonte here because he seems to be the type of player we would be proud to call a Bearcat. As far as academics are concerned, I'm proud to hang my UC degree on the wall and hopefully in four years he will be too!
 
Jeff, it seems like you may be privvy to more info than you are allowed to share here at this time in regards to Burton's visit. Are you able to tell us, or do you know when we could expect to hear something? I think we are all encouraged to hear his visit went well and I know I am just curious if we should expect something this week?
 
To repost....It should happen by Friday. Nothing concrete yet. Will probably here more before then, but that's what we've got. Info changes more often than AAA's screennames.

Talk about a fun (or scary) time for Bearcat Basketball recruiting... Teague and Burton announcing decisions on back-to-back days... I don't know if my heart can take all this!!!
 
It could happen earlier than Friday, but I would just keep my ear to the ground midweek on. Yeah, it's getting pretty fun.
