Basilio has said...and obviously this is only a rumor since I wasn't ever present in the dugout...that Burns was in the dugout during games in the second half of the season actively saying he was going to transfer and that he was headed to LSU.
Take that with as large a grain of salt as necessary, but if even remotely true, I can't believe one of his teammates didn't knock his front teeth out and tell him to get packed. I couldn't hardly believe it when I heard it, but these kinds of comments from McKee seem to lend a little credence to the kind of distraction Burns might have been. To the level of openly talking of transferring and naming his choice in the middle of games??? Perhaps not, but maybe so. This whole thing sounds ugly the more and more you here, even if only partially true.
