2010 BU Recruit- Michael Ocherobia

Uh what? Those guys didn't make a commitment to Bradley, go somewhere else, and then honor the old commitment to Bradley.
 
Cellus sorta did....but it happens all over the place....
didn't ISU lose a few, too....Dentmon, Dunson, Cornelius....and SIU lost Tabb when he went to prep school and then somewhere else...
and even one that ISU sent off to juco and DID get back in return, Bobby Hill, didn't exactly work out too well for them, did it?? Mighta just been better had he not come back to ISU, I'd say...
Hey -- if Ocherobia wants to come 7000 miles to go to juco in Freeport, then reopen his recruitment -- frankly I can't see a thing we can do about it unless you want to fret and worry...so go ahead.......
This is NOT like the story with Wilkins -- a few antics caused BU to back out before ISU was even involved...ISU (& JW) might think they have a future NBA star, but they might have more than they bargained for.
 
I don't know where I said any of that...? I was just trying to come up with anyone who committed to Bradley, ended up at Juco or Prep School but still came to BU and couldn't think of anyone. I just figure it's unlikely that MO will come to BU at this point... No fault of anyone's, just based on what's happened with other kids we had that didn't qualify.
 
I know -- never meant to say you made any such claims -- just that it is COMMON for kids who don't qualify to suddenly get other, MORE, and maybe better & more interesting offers once they go to juco and finally get eligible...

So it stands to reason that a good percentage of them once they spend a couple years at juco have a different feeling about the whole recruiting thing and maybe choose elsewhere -- obviously knowing they are not bound by anything previously...
Buycks is a perfect example -- from the time he was a little kid he dreamed of playing in front of his hometown Milwaukee...but they didn't want him out of high schol so he verballed to BU -- a pretty decent choice given the options...
Once in juco -- his stock soared, he got the coveted offer from MU, and I can't imagine anyone would have expected him to turn it down and come to BU anyway - since neither he NOR Bradley were bound one iota by the previous scholarship offer and verbal.......
and as I pointed out -- sometimes, as in the Wilkins, Stemler, Dunson, Tabb cases....maybe the original school fills their rides and no longer is pursuing..

But -- Cellus is an example of one who went to juco - knowing his destination was going to be Bradley and he stuck to it and did not change, even though he had NATIONALLY prominent scoring stats and was getting other calls!
