Mismatches go both ways...when JP and WE were in at the same time...we were winning that battle...when JP left the game we were up 6 I believe...you know what happened after that...who did that = - thing on bigs playing...would like to see that stat from last night...JP really opened up Will on the outside...

That was the biggest problem with taking Pross out of the game last night. When Will is the lone big man, he is far less effective IMO, and ur right, just having to pay attention to Prosser makes Will way more effective. I understand what Les was thinking last night, he was trying to shore up the dribble penetration, and didn't think he could do that with 2 bigs out there chasing guards, problem was, we didn't do any better job after he took Pross out of the game.

Just to let you guys know a young man that I had the pleasure of coaching at Peoria Christian was killed in a car accident yesterday...I am sure the Mooberry family would appreciate prayers lifted on their behalf...

Time will tell. Everyone is hoping you are right about DES, WL, JP and the future recruits...coming in.

Same all felt about AT, WE, MK, JE, AD, DC, DN, and EM as recruits and first year players.

Not sure about WL, but sure finds ways to score and he's lightning quick. When I've watched him 1-on-1, he's a solid defender and doesn't back down on his man. Yes, his shot needs work - a lot. He does have a nice arc on his shot. Just needs to get the right touch. He has a nice fade-away 15 footer too. I also likes his confidence, which is lacking in a few of our guys.
Only time will tell, but hopefully he stays in a BU uniform for 3 more years.

JP needs a sweet nickname.. Pross, Hoss, and Boss are all pretty easy ones, but I'd like something better or more distinctive.. Any ideas? According to wikipedia Prosser is either Welsh or German. Not sure which his origin is. Not so many Welsh around Central Illinois, so if he's German we could go with something like The Kaiser or The Baron. Buh, I dunno, I feel unskilled in the ways of nicknaming.

Can you tell me whoever thought AT, MK, JE, AD, and DN might have been 1st Teamers lol

Don't know about DC and maybe for a 5 min stretch with EM...:wink:

I just wanted to give a shout out to #44 Jordan Prosser. He has showed tremendous improvement. The young man works hard on the boards, has been finishing underneath (and what a dunk last night!), and has been playing improved defense. I feel, like many, he deserves more minutes, but the point of this post isn't to nitpick a coach's decision, but to give praise where it's due.

On a side note, DSE seems to really have a knack for finding Jordan when he's cutting and making solid passes. They are becoming quite the fun combo to watch.

Yup, I hate I told ya so, but I told ya so. Prosser was a bigtime get for Les. I've posted here before, last year, that JP could easily be all-MVC by his junior year. He came in a better offensive player than WE was and will only continue to unfold that part of his game. I didn't say develop, I said unfold, because he already has it. JP was underrated by many on this board who said his small school competition would hurt him. It will and has not.

Haha, there were farrrrr more people on this board who thought JP could become a great player and contributor than not. There aren't gonna be too many that you're gonna say "told ya so" to.

I think you should tell that to midstateknowitall. He's the only guy I can recall consistently ripping Prosser on here for his HS competition. I think most people were very excited to get him. I know I was. I called several fellow posters with excitement as soon as the announcement came out.

Not too many in the MVC with play-making skills like Lemon Jr.
Slow down his game a little and continue to work on perimeter shooting, and next season he'll give us a big boost.

Any chance that JP will make all-newcomer team for the Valley?
