I've said all along that Coley could be a difference maker for next season. Nothing I've heard or read since his visit to BU has changed my mind.

Re: New Recruit Poll
Not sure why but I'm leaning toward Wilson.[/quote]
My personality and mental capacity has occasionally
been favorably compared (often by by my boss) to
Dennis The Menace. :twisted: I have to go with
O&B74 and cast my ballot for Mr Wilson.
Besides that for some reason I picture him kind of
like Cellus Sommerville.. Wing 81

Re: New Recruit Poll
Hey WR81 I'm the one who said that not O&B. I think that Wilson has good numbers in one of the most consistently tough Juco conferences around & I'm hoping he'll wanna be a Brave after his visit this weekend

Anyone else think the next recruit may be as surprising as DC was to a lot of us, the more I think about it, the more I think our next signee maybe someone we haven't talked about. JL kept the last two guys under wraps pretty well, who's to say it won't happen again?
Of those guys I would prefer Theron or Coley but would not be disappointed with WK at all.

Hard for me to choose.
I want the recruit to be the one who wants to come to Bradley the most.

From what I've read I'd really like to see Wade Knapp in the mix! If we would have had a body like his in the SIU game in St. Louis the ending tip in might never had happened!
PS> I can certainly see Coley as a great addition and worth a scholarship and Wilson as a last ditch effort but beyond that if we don't get Knapp or Coley I'd only offer a Walk On to Wilson or Gilbert and hold that last scholarship for a possible transfer or wait til the fall and get a high schooler! Juco kids can really help a program but HS kids are the fundamental foundation of most strong programs. I'd like to think that BU has a vision of moving away from the Juco path or possibly reserving the 11-12 spots for them!

Re: Best of the Rest!
Your Nuts. Theron was being pursued by High majors he's not going to walk on here. If Wilson ends here he will be a contributor. A large part of MVC basketball is JUCO's there players with great talent that other schools look down there noses at. Where would BU be without Marcellus, ZA, LW, MS? BU is not 'better than JUCO's' the fact that we utilize them gives us a competitive advantage over bigger schools that is hard to come by elsewhere. BU is decades away from having Budget or Prestige of some Big Schools and the fact that JL can tak a JUCO player who was thought of as a backup plan at other schools and get him on the cover of SI shows that they are vital, I think a healthy mix of Freshman AND JUCO is the way to go.

Sorry Romar
Sorry Romar
My bad. I was trying out the "quote" gidgey for the first
time and you were my first victim.
After reviewing
Theron Wilson's picture, it's going to take a lot of work in
the weightroom to fill up Cellus's shadowbox. LOL But his
Juco numbers are in fact Cellus-ian. Is that a word in the
dictionary? ?? Ahh,, yes there it is :lol: right before
ChetWalkeristic (chet'walk er iz tik) noun. Wing81

If you want to watch a team full of average JUCOs get season tickets to ICC! I don't believe the young men JL is courting in this 11th hour quite measure up to ZA, LW, and MS! I think we have a stable full of young players with talent and character to fill out the regulation 200 minutes! If we can get a Coley or Knapp do it otherwise - save the scholarship for another day!

Re: Hey Nuts-iesque!
Average Jucos? You think Thats what were getting? You must be nuts, One of the JUCOS we're getting, at one point, was the 18th ranked recruit in the nation, Coley is the #3 JUCO Player in the Nation, DC is one of the best JUCO centers in the Nation... come one now.
Just so ya know Theron Wilson, Coley and Knapp are definitely more recruited than Matt Salley, Lawrence Wright, Will Franklin, or Zach Andrews ever were and look how they turned out. Like I said for a school of our budget to be competitive we need to look to JUCOs. Your right to watch average JUCO Ball go to ICC(who by the way were #1 in the region for a majority of the year), but BU Basketball is a mix of 4-year and JUCO players integrated into a good system, identified and recruited by a good coach for what they can bring to the team, not the stigma of where they came from.

I thought Wilson was a three star recruit per rivals?
Re: Hey Nuts-iesque!
Re: Hey Nuts-iesque!
edited to add: I would not be as comfortable if the number of four-year scholarships dropped below eight. I think that number is just fine though.
Re: Hey Nuts-iesque!
Well put and right on! The scholarships for 2007-08 will most likely be 8 four-year players and 4-5 juco's. The following season will probably look very similar. Last season was 8 four-year players and 4 juco's. I don't have the numbers for the Sweet 16 season, but we are at the very least in the middle of three very similar seasons when it comes to the ratio of four-year players to juco players. Considering the recruiting job JL and staff has done as well as getting the guys to play together....I don't see any problem with this.amckillip said:
