Crusaders won 8 of 11 with him before losing 9 of 11 without him. 4* Pokes transfer was on rapid ascent scoring 19 (@Purdue), 17 (@Ball), 16 (@NW) & 14 (@Santa Clara) until derailed by ineligibility.

Just my gut feeling, no he won't be. But who knows. I know the fans would welcome him back if he got his grades straightened out. Valparaiso has a higher GPA standard then the minimum NCAA standard. It's one of the recruiting challenges for the VU staff.

Valpo also has a really nice advantage when it comes to getting foreign kids in thanks to the religious thing going on. The Drew's worked the hell out of that.

From the best beat writer in the MVC- Paul Oren, Valpo.

Connected briefly w/former Valpo player Joe Burton last night. Still weighing next move, whether that’s college or professional. If college, highly doubtful it would be at Valpo. Not even eligible for return until 2019-20. Wanted to let people know basketball career isn’t over.

Bummer for the MVC, he would have been a great player to watch. My guess is that he is headed overseas. If he still isn't eligible, he may just be thinking to heck with college and go make some money.
