PND's Josh Edmonds video

If BU can get Josh to come to Bradley, it would be a steal.
His game is similar to Jeremy Crouch's, and he has the potential.

Josh's parents would love to have him go to a school where they could watch him play, but their primary concern is that he go somewhere where he can play.
Right now, Rice and Quincy College are the only schools that are actively pursuing him.
I personally believe he can do much better than that.
That being said, do we really need any more guards?
I can't believe transfer U is not actively recruiting him, or Indiana St. Or Evansville, It is not like they are loaded with talent!

Grassman-- how many guards/wings will we lose in just two years (end of 2009 season)?

Not just a couple, but a LOT!!!

Here's who we will lose over the next 2 years thru March of 2009:
Tauai, Adams, Franklin, Ruffin, Fears, DeAaron Williams, Crouch, Ray Brown.

That's EIGHT guard/wing players we will need to replace, and so far we have Maniscalco, Warren, Buycks, Daniel West set to get here and be here beyond the next two years.

(I'd love to add Matt Roth to the incoming list!!)

I'd say it wouldn't hurt to have a little more depth with Josh Edmonds as a walk on.
 
BU has had great luck with walk ons. I think they have all been local area kids who could have played elsewhere but wanted to play for the Braves.

I seriously doubt if Josh, or his parents would consider him to be a "walk on". Frankly, he is to good to be a "walk on".
I am sure he can play elsewhere.
We can fill our graduations through the traditional recruiting-signing process.
Roth is a "shooter", Josh is a "player".

OK, today's PJS addresses Josh's choice of colleges, and he is going to D-II Quincy U.

But this quote puzzles me...

""In the end, it's pretty much the same thing," said Edmonds, who also said he felt a little slighted by college's upper eschelon."

Slighted? By who?
Is he saying that every D-I school judged him unfairly?
Is he being victimized by some Don Imus-like bias?
If he didn't get a D-I offer and that causes him to feel slighted, then he got the exact same number of D-I offers as I got, so should I feel slighted, too?
Or are his slighted feelings aimed at one particular school that he believes owed him a scholarship offer?
If anyone has an insight to this comment and why he feels slighted, let me know.
Sean Johnson never mentioned feeling slighted.
