Here is the final Top 150 from Rivals--
http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewrank.asp?ra_key=1428

Osiris Eldridge is ranked #137, but the top ranked MVC recruit is Isaac Miles at #132. That appears to give Creighton 2 of the top 3 MVC recruits. They also signed the top scorer in Iowa. I would have to give the title of "Top recruiting class in the MVC" to Creighton. It could still change pending several schools still recruiting.

Da Coach, do you know consider JUCO's when you are rating recruiting classes or is it high schoolers only? :?:

I didn't know you owned this board MacabreMob.

And by the way, who was this thread started by anyways? Was he a Redbird fan? :roll:

You should become a moderator, so you can determine what should be allowed and what shouldn't be allowed. :oops: But I forgot, you own this board..... :roll:

CPac - don't go.

All I was trying to say is this.... I like the info. I enjoy reading about other Valley team's recruits.

But... the lovefest and in your face - we have the best recruiting class, blah, blah, blah... man, that can be taken to the Redbird board.

You are not an abuser over here. The other two posters were clogging us with their love fest.

So please stay Cpac.

Later-

I think you have to consider jucos, too. But you can't assume they will put up the same kind of numbers they did at the juco level. Zo Gordon was one of the few who did come right in and become a stud. I don't think Slack will.
I know Jim Les was impressed with him, but he needed a forward who can score, and that's why Slack was down the list of players he pursued. I know he scored 21 ppg in the juco national tournament, but if you count only the regular season, his average was just 10 ppg. He is OK close to the basket, but it looks like he isn't a shooter.

I think Porter Moser did exceptionally well with the 5 recruits. One of the best classes in the MVC. Will they help much next year? I don't know. I think ISU will still struggle to score. Also, after next year, Dilly will be gone, and he's your only productive forward.

Well MM, I would like to apologize for my ISU brothers. I know DC personally, I can tell you he is not the kind of guy that shoves things in people's faces. THe other guy, I have no clue.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks CPac for the clarification. And thanks for being a civil poster. Please don't think I run this board - I definitely do not. If anything, I was probably the one out of line to say anything. I have no beef with my MVC brethren... until I start to hear the 'in your face' or the 'arrogance' from someone whose team won the conference, the conf tourney, or just a heads up game.

Honestly MM, it should be me apologizing to you. I can totally understand where you are coming from.

Every school has their good fans and their bad fans.

I know DC will try and keep our ISU glowing down.... trust me, we havent had much to glow about.

I think you know how I feel about the Valley by my posts at Pjstar...and BU is part of the Valley. Of course, during conference games, that is another story. :D
 
My Bradley friends.........

I sincerely apologize if I was perceived to be out of line. I meant no disrespect at all. I am not like that. Sorry if anything was taken that way. My posts 95% of the time are to inform only. I admit to drinking the Kool-Aid too much on occasion and because of that my posts can be taken the wrong way.

I respect this board and I respect you guys as fans, too. I appreciate you allowing me to throw a couple posts on your board. I hope there are no hard feelings. cpacmel is correct, I am not one to throw anything in anyone's face intentionally.
 
Hey--I sorta like a little bit of ISU-BU debate.
You guys who support ISU are very welcome here in my eyes.
As long as you understand it is our duty to talk up the BU recruits and talk down the ISU guys.
:roll: :roll: :roll:

But seriously...I read a comment over on the Redbird board that went something like this...

..that one of the ISU fans was watching BU's march to the Sweet Sixteen only 4 years post 18 and 20 loss seasons.
And he pondered why couldn't that be ISU in a couple years.

And you know what??
It can, and it should be especially if you are an ISU fan.
It would be good for the Valley.

Creighton is not done. 8)
 
speaking of that final rivals top 150, anyone notice that Scheyer dropped to 71, behind Beverley who finished at 65.
 
I think some are forgetting just how highly regarded a recruit Xavier Crawford is.

Xavier Crawford is a 3 star (out of 5) on Rivals.com, with Michigan and Providence as schools BU beat out for him. 3 stars puts him on par with Eldridge as far as the rankings go (recruits from 100-150 are 3 stars). He is also a 3 star recruit (out of 5) according to Scout.com. Eldridge is also a 3 star recruit.

I'm not trying to belittle Osiris Eldridge as far as the caliber of player he is. I wanted him very badly to choose Bradley. If anything, it shows that there is some serious talent coming into the MVC this year and in the future, especially on I-74. Crawford just seems to get bypassed in a lot of these conversations as a big-time recruit.

In case no one has seen Xavier Crawford, here are some pictures.
