some pretty good ones left on the board!

[Bradleyguy10]

Josh Bartelstein 6'4" PG Phillips Exeter Academy
A highly versatile floor leader who brings great size, passing skills, an ability to play either guard slot, and an ability to knock down shots with NBA 3-point range.


Whoa...6'4" and can apparently shoot it from anywhere

why aren't we going after him...or are we?

I have never heard any mention of Bartelstein as a BU recruit.
He is a 2009 kid, but despite making that list of available point guards, even ChicagoHoops.com does not have him listed among their top 40 kids for 2009, so I don't know whether he is a certain D1 prospect.

Really...that's surprising considering on that list he is one behind Darius Smith and ahead of Dyricus...

Players are listed in no particular order.

I don't like to read

He could be a 1 star only because he plays for a small private school in New England, Phillips Exeter Academy. A school that is known for it's academics and not for sports. If he played for a nationally known school who knows what he would be ranked.

I for one do not care where these guys are ranked by the supposable national rankers because their methodology seems to be slightly skewed.

[Bradleyguy10]

What was JC's ranking when recruited?

I want a tall guy in the range of 6-5 that can lights out shoot and has good work ethic...no matter what star ranking they have or what school they come from

Bartelstein was a 2008 recruit that decided to go the prep route and become a 2009 prospect. He's no longer in the state of Illinois and has tons of mid major level offers and a lot of high majors interested in him.

Don't we have like 30 guards.

Don't we have like 30 guards.

As of now, in 2011-2012, we will have 2 guards, and then 7 players who are 6'7" or taller

Good point!

Yeah we need another lights out shooter that's hitting their sophomore/junior year by the time Warren is out of here.

DN looks like he could be the guy while a junior but I wouldn't mind a true SG as a sophomore...and by "I wouldn't mind" I mean "I really want"

I'm with you! A pure shooter, who will man the 2 and hopefully at around 6'5" or taller.

That's great news!!! Maybe we can get more than one in the line-up at the same time???
