Great set of highlights to be posted if you’re Darius, not so much for Meta…back to back clips of being stuffed badly and the ball stolen. Going to be fascinating to see where everyone falls on the initial depth chart with all the new guys.

LOL BUfan RE Meta...at least he's got spirit!

Very excited about our depth at guard/wing. I haven't seen many highlights from CT, who will be a HUGE factor in our success. He's got to be 2x (or more) as productive as the other Thomas last year, and I think he will be.

Zeko, O-Show (Burch), and Christian are gonna be better and harder to guard, and that's scary for opponents! They all can defend too!!
Then you have DH-Bomb (Darius) KaBOOM and DUKE, who are likely 1st team All-MVC guys.

Atlason, Dillon, and Thomas should be key guys off the bench, but I could see them all in the starting line-up throughout the year. Anyone else who contributes is a bonus!
 
Can anyone think of 5 guys on the same team in Valley history who would match the athleticism of these 5 on the current BU roster? (just having fun with this) :)

Zek
Duke
Burch
Hannah
Davis (least athletic among the group, but he's deceptively quick on both ends. I think Hick is an even trade-off for athleticism, though smaller. JaShon would be an upgrade!)
 
Joe Lunardi with his September Update has Bradkey a projected 13 seed for The NCAA Tournament! He also Projects Bradley as a sweet 16 team pulling the upsets over Purdue and Texas! He even goes so far as to say it will take # 1 Kansas team to play OT to beat BU! Some comments have said Kansas would be abit Torn playing Bradley. Maybe coaches Remember back when BU upset Kansas in the Tournament. In any case, I know these projections mean very little. However, to have Lunardi have such high praise for Bradley can't be Overlooked.

.... open practice....

Loyola held an open practice for their season ticket holders -- I think it's a good idea to do something like this
to reward your best fans, and it just might spur someone to sign up for season tickets.

I saw where Evansville, Rutgers, Wisconsin & other schools are doing it, too

Bradley's former Director of Development, J Locklier now works at Butler and he Tweets about their open practice.​

I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I like the cursive “Bradley” better in these practice jerseys without the light blue trim. Just not a fan of using light blue at all. Looks weird with red to me. Still hoping for a black alternate cursive like the T-shirts they sell one of these years and practice jerseys we’ve seen over the last few years.

New podcast from Full Court Preess that includes Bradley Coach Wardle and Indiana State Coach Matthew Graves -

At about 27:30, they talk about Roger Powell, and the moderator suggests that Roger Powell was a Peoria guy, and the coaches seem to agree. But Powell was born in Joliet, Illinois and went to Joliet Central High School.

Here are the archived podcasts from the Full Court Press. They include a couple other MVC related episodes - https://www.youtube.com/@FullCourtPressCBKPodcast/videos

Thanks to Bradley and to Dr. Chris Reynolds for continuing this yearly preseason tradition that fans love.
Thanks to Avanti's for the sponsorship and for providing the spaghetti and bread. And thanks to Gil's Supper Club in Hannah City for providing the terrific fried chicken.
