2008 BU committment- Darian Norris - 5'11

Be baffled all you want...I said I believe, I did not say its a fact or book it. I BELIEVE he has the ability to be very good. I could be wrong, have been many times.

There is nothing wrong with being a "fan" on a "fan board" ... the elements of fan optimism combined with a positive outlook on the future seem to baffle a few regular posters.
 
I am sure Norris is a fine player whether he is ranked inside or outside of the top 100.

I though am seriously tired of watching us night in night out get out rebounded and give away multipule possessions.

If a 5 11 guard is being considered for a replacement of someone thats one thing but if a 5 11 guard is being considered for our last ride for this season I personally am not in any favor of seeing another guard added to this roster. Unless JL and staff are going to make a serious commitment this offseason and into next to do something about our lack of rebounding addressing it with the players we currently have.
 
Are we recruiting anyone with size, I dont think so? That would tell you that we are going to fill the last slot with a gaurd. Anyone know of recruit that we know of that is over 6 feet 5 inches?

That's fine...Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. I just haven't seen anything in his play that would lead me to believe he is going to be as good as you believe him to be.
We'll see what adjustments he makes next year.

You can be as optimistic as you want...Simply because I don't necessarily agree with some of these optimistic assessments doesn't mean they are wrong....or that being optimistic is wrong.
 
No problem here ER3, as I said I have been wrong more than right. As a Bradley fan I am sure you are pulling for me to be right?

fwiw, I agree with you. Will has a lot of raw talent and I hope he can use the summer to improve on things for next year.
 
Remember, he had to make a lot of off-the-court adjustments this year. He came all the way from Alaska and probably has only been back once, if at all. Not to mention the other adjustments all college freshmen have to make. I think he will be more comfortable next year and be able to put all of his energy into basketball.

Don't worry mexico . . . next time I see ER3, I'm gonna pin him down and force kool-aid jello shots down his throat. He'll come around.

Norris set to sign--
http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=54190&sport=2

It is a premium article. Here are a couple key clips--
Fresh off an official visit to Bradley, three-star point guard Darian Norris of Las Vegas (Nev.) Mojave High School is set to sign with the Braves on Wednesday.
"We were going to visit some other schools but after what Darian saw this weekend, he knows that Bradley is a perfect fit," said Norris' father Walter Norris. "The academics are impressive with small classes and top notch instruction. They also have a great coaching staff, and we're very impressed with Coach Les. He was a point guard and has NBA experience. The coaching at Bradley is great, and it's a good system for Darian."


Welcome the newest Bradley Brave, Darian Norris.
Can anyone recall if Bradley has had any previous players from Las Vegas?
 
It sounds like he was blown away with his visit to Bradley this past weekend. Very similar to the things that Chris Roberts said after he visited. Good job by the coaching staff!
