I know he wasn't here long but he has been a hot topic on this board in the past. So as an fyi....Lance Stemler moved to Germany last weekend and has begun his career with the Munich B League team this week.
 
Daniel Ruffin is playing for the Kaiserslautern Tekpro Braves.
Here is the translated version of their webpage with a nice picture of Daniel Ruffin--

I know that I might be drinking the cool-aid a bit, but I think that these successes have got to be a great recruiting tool (I am sure Les knows this as well)

For what Bradley is in honest terms of size and budget I think that we are VERY well represented at the professional level.

Without a doubt it's a recruiting tool; to show recruits that not only do we have new facilities in the works, but that our guys go on to play professionally all over the world, including the NBA, is a huge deal and shows that just because a guy is playing outside a BCS conference, doesn't mean his career has to be over after college.

Is there anywhere to watch these Euroleague games online?

The Euroleague has a site that, for a fee, has online streaming of Euroleague games. I watched some of Anthony Parker's games when he was with Maccabi in Israel. But the Euroleague is a separate League made up of only the top teams from each country.

However, none of the teams the BU players are on are competing in the Euroleague, but rather just in the country's own pro leagues.
I have never found any reference to sites that carry video streaming of their games.
 
here's some Euro update stuff.........

JJ Tauai - averaging 10.3 ppg/3 rpg for Techasas in Lithuania
Will Franklin - 10.4 ppg/3.7 apg for the Phantoms in Germany
Jeremy Crouch - 4 ppg/2 rpg/2 apg for the same team
James Gillingham - 7 ppg/2 rpg for Trier in Germany
Daniel Ruffin - 14.1 ppg/5 apg for Techpro in Germany
Zach Andrews - averaging an amazing 12 ppg/9.3 rpg for Reyet in Spanish Pro B league
Ed Cage - 13 ppg/6 rpg for Navarra in Spain Pro B
Lance Stemler - 18 ppg/7.2 rpg for German Pro B Telemotive


Other Valley players.........

MSU's Deven Mitchell, playing for Arkadia in the top pro league in Austria, is leading the entire country and nation in scoring at 22.0 ppg.
He also hits 86% on FT
http://www.eurobasket.com/team.asp?Cntry=Austria&Team=630&Page=3

Also in the Austrian League is Jeremy Fears of the Kapfenberg Bulls, who is the hottest player on his team and maybe in the league.
He's had some 30+ games recently and has his average up to 18.4 ppg - good for 9th in the league.

Also in Austria is SIU's Mike Dale who just signed with the league leading Gmunden..after finishing his season in Hungary averaging 12.5 ppg/5.5 rpg.
