Well, as it stands now with SM coming back next year, we're sitting with 14 scholarship players and only 13 scholarships next season, so obviously someone is out. But who?

With a little thought you should be able to narrow it down to 2-3 current players......

I wasn't trying to compare the players' abilities; only giving an example.

Odiakosa had such a poor freshman year that PM decided to RS him in his sophomore season.

That extra year turned him in to an All-Valley performer, and he is now doing well overseas playing in Spain.

My point was sometimes the player you least expect blossoms into the player you hoped they would become.

Milos is a good friend of mine, and I know how hard he works and how badly he wants to be a major contributor to your team. He just might surprise you someday.

No doubt he is a really good kid and a good team mate as he is usually the first one off the bench to congratulate his team mates during a time out, unfortunately I think if he wants to actually play a lot then he needs to look elsewhere because he has hardly played in 1.5 seasons here and cannot get better while watching everyone else play, I hope he does get better but I don"t see it happening here.

ER - so you are sure all 4 will be here?

Well...for the sake of our program's future, I certainly hope not...

But I thought BU was the land of family...of integrity...where no kid's scholarship would ever be rudely "janked" away from him...(other than Cole-Scott, Austin, Jassey, et al., of course...)

I'd be ecstatic if two or more of those four guys didn't make it back to campus next year...and were replaced with some JUCO talent that could contribute right away...but how is it going to 'magically' happen if that isn't something that our program ever allows???

My goodness....everyone is so negative on MK. Weren't people very negative on JC after his sophomore year too, saying he should transfer and all? Milos has had some good moments, he does have potential and is only a sophomore jeez.

To say you be ecstatic if a kid would not be here is a little harsh to a kid man, come on. These are college kids that deal with a lot, and some will make it in basketball and some won't, not every kid on a mid major team is going to pan out. But there is still time with only 1.5 years into a career! At the very least he can be a guy to come off the bench and shoots 3s when he develops, a very important role IMO. This is not professional sports as much as some people treat it like it is. Should these kids have to be good ball players for their scholarships? Yes, but if you think all the major big men who can step in and contribute without being projects are going to come here over Duke/UNC/Kansas/Kentucky/ECT you are sadly mistaken.

Teams like Bradley have to take chances.....tell me of the 4 kids that you would be ecstatic to lose, which one of them would you have not signed at the time??? How did anyone know they wouldn't pan out (if they all don't as 3 of the 4 still have a legitimate shot).

Exactly! There have been a lot of good kids that have come through Bradley athletics over the years that didn't "pan out". They were kid kids, good students, good "practice bait", good teammates, and are now good alumni. I'm sure they'd be a little offended by your "ecstatic" statement. I know I am.

First of all we all hope Taylor will be healthy and able to play, Sean Harris is a juco and should help us which gives us plenty of bigs since Will, J.P. and A.D. will also be here which is one of the reasons why Milos is going to have a hard time finding minutes, A.T."s minutes will also go down unless he all of a sudden becomes more of a contributor then he is at this time, if for some reason 2 players do not return that still only leaves us with 1 scholarship because Sam will return, only 2 types of players I would want, a 6-9 power forward that is already skilled or a 6-4 or taller 3 point shooter.

Sounds good to me.
What can SH give us? All I know is he is 6' 7" from Yuba, and he looks skinny.
Does he shoot well? Will he help on the glass? Good ball-handler?
I don't know much about him, but seems like there is a lot of upside from everyone's attitude about him coming next year.

Don't forget that it is still a thought that we will get Michael Ocherobia. According to FutureWalkOn he still plans to come to BU.

difference between JC and Milos was JC had a pretty good freshman year.....Milos moments were few and far between I'm afraid....and there is no comparison in basketball IQ

Ha JC's Hoops knowledge is as far from Milos's

Monmouth Bradley fan you are right. Just think we have another project coming in next year.

I was all in favor of moving to recruiting 4 years players, but that's proving to be a mistake, especially with bigs. It may be time to go back to the JUCO philosophy if this regime remains intact. 9 years has shown this regime can do well with JUCO bigs, but can't develop 4 year big men.
 
I want players not projects I don't care if they are 4 year players or JUCO players.I don't care if they are 7 foot or not.

Kind of why I wanted to get Leon Powell, he could have helped us this season.
 
Doesnt BU have 2 players... Thompson and Eglof who are in their 4th year at Bradley? My thinking is one or both graduate and they move on because of graduation.

Milos is stuck behind Eastman who is a better overall player and I am guessing here is more consistant in practice.
