I'm thinking so......since less than two weeks ago JL said we are currently recruiting him. Hopefully, just waiting on the paper process to go through and he's able to enroll.

I'll be very disappointed if MO does not come to BU but if a transfer is looking to come to BU, I hope he is a big man. Can anyone say if this possible transfer is a guard, center or forward ?
It would probably be a guard for a couple reasons-
There aren't many transfers available who are quality big men, but there are several very good guards available.
If a transfer came to Bradley, they would have to sit out a year, and would not be available until 2011-2012. Since Bradley will lose 3 seniors after this coming season, all guards (Dunson, Maniscalco, Warren), a quality D1 guard to replace them would be our biggest need then.

So does that mean we're done as far as Ochereobia is concerned also? Or you meant done on recruiting non-MO/non-transfer players for 2010?
Until we make another commitment or JL says something that states we are not I will believe that we are still working that angle.
What we need on this board is someone with connections that works at the NCAA. It would be nice to know where they are at in the process of getting him cleared. Does anyone know what the process is to getting an overseas player eligible?If that's the case here, It could be August before we know the final outcome.
There is a clue regarding one possible transfer buried in this HS basketball column-

Looks as though he had a very rough freshman season.
Not so sure about this kid.

My hopes of a better season just went down 100% also.
I know people will disagree with me and hate my comment, but we are worse off inside this year so without MO I am not optimistic.

MO = JUCO
JUCO = ISU

There were other reasons JW ended up at ISU rather than BU, and those issues are not relevant with MO.
BTW- here is Highland's scheudle for the 2010-2011 season. Maybe fans will want to check out MO? They play games as close as in Kewanee, Oglesby, and Galesburg, as well as their home games in Freeport, Illinois.-

Yep...might as well just write off the season, cuz SS doesn't have another year of eligibility. Should we just make our reservations for the 4-5 game in STL?

Maybe I just a pessimist, but I can't figure any scenerio where MO is an instant impact player as a freshman, nor will I believe that he would be the difference between a good and great team. From everything we have heard, he would be a good get, but the number of impact bigs in the mid-major ranks are minimal. At least now we get a chance to see him play. Is is possible that he ends up going somewhere at the high-major level after knocking his competition around for 2 years at JUCO? Sure.
The much more likely scenerio is he gets to hone his skills in the US, is a solid inside player, and will hopefully have loyalty to BU. Then hopefully he will come in as an impact JUCO in 2 years...because unlike under the radar freshmen, we have a history of finding JUCO players who can be an instant impact players for Bradley.
