BU commit-2015-Scottie James

I saw Coach Wardle with some assistant coaches with a very tall young man who resembles the player in the above videos; they were in Markin Center this morning, near the climbing wall.

I stopped and said "hello" to Coach; when I introduced myself (math faculty) he said his recruit was interested in engineering.
 
I sure hope Coach Wardle gets him to sign on the dotted line today. Would love to see this kid in a Bradley uniform. Coach Wardle is doing a remarkable job so far. If Coach can get Scotty to sign today, i look for a move up in the standings next year. We are definitely on our way. I'll take the new recruits and give you 10pts. against last years team!!

Please remind Scottie a company with some of the best engineers in the world is HQ'd less than 5 miles from BU. They also have a summer internship program! :biggrin: :biggrin:

Bradleys Engineering school is one of the finest in the nation. Outstanding teachers, great facilities, tie- ins to major companies like Cat, internships, etc. BW and his staff should be sure to tour this school and talk to professors when this recruiting season is over so they are equipped to discuss it with recruits. Many of the schools we compete against in recruiting do not offer Engineering majors. For example, does Winthrop or Fla. Gulf Coast have Engineering schools?

You're right! And there are very few athletes that stay with engineering, due to the class time demands vs. the amount of time away from class, with the road games. It's almost impossible to keep up.
 
MBB Players & Engineering Majors

MBB Players & Engineering Majors

There are 3 things one can do in college:
Play sports or work a job
Study
Social life

Most can do 2 of 3. It is a matter of interest, aptitude, and discipline.

Exceptional kids can do all 3.

With the help of tutoring and electronic
learning tools, BU MBB and Engineering Degree should not be mutually exclusive.

A very good college friend of mine was a scholarship fb player at Iowa State (starter) who graduated on time with a Civil Engineering degree and went on to become a highly successful engineer/manager/ executive of a national company.

No need to lower the bar, or expectations, of kids who are exceptional athletes.If anything, we should expect kids who have the drive, intelligence, and discipline to be successful in sports (or arts etc) to also excell in an academic pursuit of their interest.

Many Engineering curriculums are 5 years since an Engineering degree requires more semester hours than other degrees (144 vs 124). However, over five years, an Engineering student can take 14 to 15 semester hours instead of 17 to 18. Also, hours can be accumulated in summer school. This makes a much easier academic load. It took me 4-1/2 semesters for my BSME degree and I wasn't a particularly great student. I also worked 30 hours a week to pay my college costs. A scholarship athlete can do it if he is willing to apply himself and manage his time.

This article came out on the 17th and yet no word from Coach Wardle on Scottie James. Saw pictures of him signing LOI and he is listed on the Bradley BB team roster. However he is not highlighted on the roster. I understand why Pittman, Okafor and Hanley are not highlighted, but not James. Scottie even said he was planning on signing up for summer classes and getting to campus ASAP. Anybody know anything? Help us out Bobby P
