Bradley lands a guard- Walter Lemon from Julian HS

Loyola-Chicago reportedly offered.

One advantage this commit also may give Bradley- Julian has 2 other potential D1 players who will be among the top players in Illinois for 2011, 6'4" wing player Phillip Greene (who visited a BU game recently) and 6'8" power forward Jamari Traylor. You could be hearing a lot about these 2 studs this next year.
 
I saw this guy shooting around with dodie and dse at markin yesterday. he seemed to be having a good time with them. his shot is a little strange looking but it went in a lot.

I really think Prosser can be this guy, although I'm not sure he can get to 265.

I would not want to put that pressure on JP. I'd like to think of him as the backup to WE at the 4 spot!

Also with this signing I'm not sure how I would feel about JW right now when I feel what we need is a solid 5. Unless he is the real deal the question is would he be a guy that can get us to the top. As I said before we are one player regardless of JW of being the top dog.
 
Bradley returns 4 guys who averaged between 10-15 ppg (Warren, Dunson, Maniscalco, TB), plus we should surely get a bit of scoring out of Will Egolf, JP, AT, DSE, JE, and now Walter...
I am anxious to see if we can put up some great offensive numbers...

Quick ?


What are Walter's A/T numbers AND what are his 3pt and ft %


I fully expect Maniscalco to go out with a bang and DSE to get much better...question is, where is all the time at for all of these guards?!


We all know Les has trouble playing and finding time for more than 7 players...


That being said, I still think we need a legit 5 because of what I have seen so far comparing our players to the rest of the conference...

I'm hoping with all the guards we have that we can now apply a bit more pressure on the ball for larger spans of the game.
 
Love this quote from one of the articles......

While Lemon also has above-average ballhanding skills, we believe that he is much more comfortable at the off-guard position. Kudos undoubtedly go to coach Les on an outstanding job of recruiting him. With both Lemon and Stewart in the fold to go along with current freshman Dyricus Simms-Edwards, it looks as though Bradley's future back court is in place.

if he had more than 7 healthy players who can score, it could probably be different ..:roll:

I thought the reason we didn't see MK was because of defense, he was healthy, and he could score.
I am not worried about what kind of offensive numbers we put up, I'm just worried about scoring 1 more point than our opponent each night, and defense and getting stops is what has killed us. Though not trying to dribble out the clock from the under 8 timeout out on when we have the lead in a game would be nice.
 
I really like this......

I really like this......

think about it this way, heres a guy who is an athletic LEFTY, thats going to play in an offense that sets alot screens . That is the hardest thing to guard, is a athletic lefty that can play off screens, and get to the lane and finish with contact, Bu has never had that type of player. way off base but that is what seperate Manu Ginobili.

"all the guards"??

we had to un-redshirt a guy last year when we didn't have enough guards...

DD got hurt and we played a few guys out of position so we had to play 4 guards at a time. Now if we get a real 5 WE becomes the 4 and TB a 3. So that leaves us with some real depth 1-3!

EM, DSE, SM, DD, AW, JE, WL! I call that a deep bench at the guard position and a little weak with the bigs. So I'll stand by my statement with "all the guards."

Reggie Hall was an athletic lefty. I don't think what hand you shoot with really makes much of a difference unless you're a post player.

We have plenty of guards T...we haven't lost any but Chris and he gets replaced with a fresh Dodie...


Maybe our Coach could become instantly smart and play all of them and implement a 2-2-1 press to help out the D a little bit...


I'd love to see a 10-man rotation and run up and down the floor and press...


Can't see why we wouldn't have the athletes to do it...

When don't we play "a few guys" out of position?! We've been doing it since 07...


Also, as much as you and I would both enjoy seeing that lineup and rotation, we both know its not going to happen...Les loves his 3-4 guard lineups...

I'd settle on a 3 guard lineup myself IF:


- we pressed and trapped
- we played 10-12 guys
- we had a legit 5 to go with Taylor and Will at the 4


My dream lineup would be: Starter (Bench)

- Legit 5 (JP/AT)
- Taylor (Will)
- Andrew (Dodie/Milos)
- Sam (Jake/Dodie)
- DSE (Edge)
 
Sounds like a good player, cannot compare to Chris Roberts because he is 6-2, need to get a center and another 6-6 wing , I know we only have 2 scholarships left but someone always leaves so we still need 2 more good players that are big.
