Dave Reynolds blogs about watching a team workout this morning

[Da Coach]

Dave has some nice things to report after getting up early for this morning's workout-
>All looked to be in great condition
>The recovering wounded, Andrew Warren and Will Egolf, moved well through the drills
>other than Egolf’s knee brace, showed no signs of limitation
>Les reported that the Tuesday strength test results of Egolf’s surgically repaired knee were “off the charts.”
>Prosser and Simms-Edwards...both seem to be assimilating well to the college game
>Eastman is a big guard with a nice shot
>Knezevic is a different story. During a brief four-on-four session, the Las Vegas native put on an electric performance with his shooting and passing abilities
>Knezevic, at first blush, looks like a guy who will be hard to keep off the court.

Thanks for the report, Dave, Keep them coming!

Gotta love it... the one we have talked about the least (in the past few months anyway...) seems to be doing the BEST! I love this recruiting class.

Two quality guards, an athletic, strong, local, big man... and then apparently one in-between who will be "hard to keep off the court" -- excellent!

Go get 'em new guys... show them that you deserve some playing time!!

I know I'm way ahead of myself at this point BUT...................I love the potential of having Milos and John Wilkins together in a couple of years. Two big versatile players like they seem to be on the same team can really present nightmare matchups for others!! Let's hope everything falls into place and we as BU fans can realize that potential in a few years.

Great report from DR! hmmm could it be possible that we could have more than one breakout player this year?

[houstontxbrave]

What I am truely excited about at this point is we have competition everywhere not just in our back court but at all 5 positions on the court. And not just numbers but quality both athletically and basketball wise.

I have a feeling we might hear more then once that the game are easy compared to the practices.

Great report. Going to be hard to relax waiting for the season... but at least the Bears are off to a nice start to distract me.

Dave's report gives a view of one who saw a single workout..but I have "heard" that Milos often wows with his shooting, passing.....
That's not to say he still won't take time to develop, but those are nice things to hear.


as a side note that I find funny...scout.com still hasn't figured out that Milos Knezevic isn't the same, identical person as Milos Kluet.

Rivals doesn't have this problem

I wonder if Milos would have been only a 2 star recruit had he gone to a larger school. Didn't he have a chance to go higher? I can't remember who recruited him now, but I bet a lot of schools will have wished they would have by the time he is done.

Before its all said and done, this will be a very good recruiting class! JP and DSE will be good players.....JE will light up 3's when he gets his strength back and MK is going to be something we as Brave fans have wanted for a long time....6'8 player who can Pass-Shoot and Dribble!

Everything sounds peachy, but I would much rather have someone who can rebound.

What about the rumor that ISU has entered the mix for Wilkins' services?

I will be shocked if ISU is the only other school who will enter into the Wilkins sweepstakes. It will be a bit of a miracle if BU actually ends up with Wilkins in a BU uniform.

Have you seen Jordan Prosser? I think we'll be okay

UNLV was recruiting him, if I remember right...

Would it be a stretch to assume that a kid who is 6 feet 8 inches tall (Milos) and is said to have great foot work and mobility, would be able to do some rebounding as well? I know Milos is not a banger but I would think that with his atrtributes he would be able to help out on the boards?
