Looking ahead to next season.

[Bravesfan]

I know we have a long way to go yet, but I figured whether NCAA or NIT, how does everyone think Bradley will perform next season. Assuming POB sticks around, we have a good core coming back with Adams, Tauai and Franklin. Beyond that, I'm a little worried about depth. Who on this team might step up as role players, and can Bradley at least challenge for at least the NIT, if not the NCAA next year? I'd be very interested to see people's opinions on this matter as it is very important for Bradley to build upon this season on their way to becoming a consistent Valley power.

It's not a sure thing that Adams will be back next year.

Yeah, my bad! :oops: I must still be coming off that great win by the Braves today! :D Yeah, with those two on the team, we should be alright next year!

Don't forget about Andrew Warren, I firmly believe you guys will get a player that will be able to step in and contribute right away.

I also think post season play will boast the recruiting of some kids on the fence as far wether Bradley is the school for them or not! :wink:

That's what I was thinking as well. Especially if we get that 20th win tomorrow against WSU. Now THAT will change some people's minds! :D

I think you guys are completely forgetting that BU gets Sam Singh back next year, you have a 2nd year Ray Brown and a Boogie-like raw athlete in Jassey. In addition, you have Jeremy Crouch, who I'm guessing is going to have a little chip on his shoulder coming into next season and will very much resemble the step up in intensity we've seen from DA this year.

BU will be losing some senior leadership, but look at how they have began to buy into the defensive philosophy in the 2nd half of the season. Imagine what they will be like at the start of next year after having a full season under their belts & knowing what is expected of them from the coaching staff.

I honestly do not see much of a fall off coming, if any.

We will never replace Sommerville next year not only his offense but his defense and rebounding.

[romar]

9 - never say never - someone always steps up and fills the void, sometmes not as well, but usually you get surprised.

I thought they'll never replace JJ, then along came Hersey, then came AP, then came Bayo, then came J-Rob, then came the G-men, then came Cellus, then came POB.

Now I just try to see if I can figure out who's next instead of worrying about who's lost.

[Brave4life]

You guys are killin' me...lets focus on gettin' the "W" today. Wow, the only thing that should be on our horizon is a the Red & White trampling those shockers.

Easy there fellas...

You are absolutely right Brave4life. But I want this to be the beginning of our dynasty! :D

anybody know who else we are bringing in next year besides AW? I really want TJ Marion from West Aurora,IL but I dont know his interest level. I heard we were in the running for aaron synder from West too.

If you know of anybody please try to put something on where I can learn about them.

Speaking of TJ Marion, he hit a key shot and played a tremendous all around game to get a fine writeup, and lead his 26-1 West Aurora to their AA Regional.
