BU recruit- 2015- Lincoln's Gavin Block

I don't know - but here's a thought...
I still consider it 2nd, 3rd, or 4th hand hearsay - maybe ok for speculation on message boards but hardly enough to be convincing....
I actually heard from a usually reliable source connected to the BU athletic dept. that we would never tell a kid that if we wanted him - but then even my source wasn't there when it was discussed between our staff & the recruit.
I have even had family members/friends get college scholarship offers, then found out later the truth & reality was somewhat different than was was told...

...likely only 3 or 4 people were really present when the Bradley coaching staff discussed scholarship offer with Gavin Block & family, so how does anyone know for sure?
 
As I have said before, I like Gavin, but I am not sold that he will be an immediate impact player. I think he is too small to play the 3, and not quick enough now to guard the 2-guards in the MVC. But I believe he can develop into a good MVC player. I have heard a former coach compare him to a young Jeremy Crouch, but he will need to work on his defense, and ball handling.
UNI's style would work better for Gavin, and if he were to go there, they'd probably ask him to redshirt and get stronger, like they do with a lot of their recruits.

But whatever happens, I would like to see us land more of our primary recruiting targets than we have in the past few years. I do not believe Bradley (or any MVC school) can become successful in the league by relying heavily on late spring juco signings and having the rapid player turnover like we have seen lately.
 
Gavin Block to make an official visit to Ohio University Oct. 17-19.

Illinois Prep Bullseye also reports that he will visit Northern Illinois the weekend of Oct. 10-12
 
yup - we had a separate thread on who were all our top 2015 recruiting targets...and all the names that were being discussed a couple months ago are all off the board now....
