Wilkins: Chances on being a Brave?

[Da Coach]

Wilken's eligibility is a moot point...this is another example of the current coaching administration recruiting a player based on rep and a handful of AAU game "flashes" vs. recruiting a player who has a proven track record against viable competition. . He's a "big" and that's all that matters to a coaching regime that has had almost no success recruiting 3's, 4's or post players. Trivia question: can you name the last player BU recruited based on rep and an alledged All Star rep? (hint Kentucky vs. Indiana all star team)...

Sorry, you're way off. But since I suspect you've never seen JW play, I'll excuse you. John Wilkins is no Saihou Jassey.

All this negativity from supposable BU supporters make me want to puke. I'm not even going to point you guys out because it has become very comical at this point. There are things that are out of our knowledge and control that are so much better for everyone to just keep their yap closed one way or the other.

If I was a betting man I'd say if JW qualifies he'll be wearing BU red next year. If you know something that none of us know and it is a fact then I'd be glad to listen. Until then restrain from assuming what someone else will do.

It would be nice if these BU negative Nellie's knew anything about branding and how negativity can really hurt the overall impact on how the school ultimately recruits. If your really are a booster and are keen to rip on BU I would not mind if you stated facts, until then I'll take your opinion for what it is.

$100 says if he doesn't play this year for BU, he never will. Are we on?

At least Belgium has a new government.....for now

"Mr Van Rompuy is an old-style Belgian politician, favouring compromise over confrontation, but he will need all his skills of negotiation to keep this new government together beyond next year's regional elections, our correspondent says. "

I said if I was a betting man! I also sense a lot of confidence from your statement as if you know something none of us know. Please share and if you can please divulge your source! I would hope that JW and his father would be a bit loyal to JL and staff as they have held out a scholarship and have done everything they can to get him on campus. If JW does not don the our uniform next year because he wants to play for someone else, well that will speak volumes of his character. I for one hold loyalty as one of the top traits that I respect in my friends and business partners.

I made a comment to Squirrel over a pint a couple weeks ago.... I don't get excited about any recruits or players until I see them in a Bradley uniform on the floor during warmups before a game. It has nothing to do with anyone other than the Anthony Grundy ordeal teaching me to feel that way.

Mob, you took the letters right off my keyboard...

Just out of curiosity, if Wilkins doesn't end up showing up this semester, would the 13th scholarship perhaps be given to Brian Lavin as a reward for sticking around as a walk-on for 4 years?

[Da Coach]

It could be. Coach Les does have a history of rewarding walkons with scholarships in the past (Danny Adams). But it is already too late for Lavin to get a scholarship for the first semester, as I do not think it can be rewarded retroactively.

Any news???

It seems sort of strange we have not heard anything lately on this front either here or in the media. Anyone hear anything yet? When is the last day he has a shot to enroll for this semester? At this rate, given not having apparently enrolled/been declared eligible yet, and combined with the 5 game suspension, it looks like we will not see him on the floor this year. However, I would like to seem him in school at BU and sitting on the bench, rather then dangling out there for another program.

You must not be on here to often...... it has been annouced that the NCAA has received his records and now we are awaiting an anoucement in the next day or so hopefully that he is ready to go

Thanks. No, I'm limited in logging on at work this season I searched for his name in the threads and did not see that bit of information.

It was posted yesterday, but do to a fluke, those threads got deleted/lost from the system. Honest mistake.
