Former BU player Michael Stewart was sitting behind where Jim Les usually stands. He was there with his girlfriend. I think that is causing some confusion. Danny Adams interviewed Stewart during a break in the game.

Marcello Robinson was there as I also believe was J.J. TauaiComment

I finished watching the replay of the game, and Marcello was really getting into the game! He was standing, cheering, and waving a towel for most of the 2nd half!Comment

Marcello is one of the best guys and former players I've ever had the privilege of meeting...and the guy bleeds BU Basketball...Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
Its quite an honor to have someone like him continue to show support the way he does...it just says a lot about him as a person, about the university, and about Coach Les in opening up the program to former players.Comment

I also just watch my recording.....that was Michael Stewart....Danny Adams even interviewed him at halftime!Comment

My guess is that you won't see too many recruits at games right now, especially during the week as they have their own high school teams to practice and play for. Weekends are the best shot at getting recruits in if they don't have a game themselves which probably isn't very often.Comment

I hope Wilkins and his dad were able to make the game. Would have been perfect for them to see his dad's old team and Wilkins's (hopefully) new team play. After a game like that, any recruit should be like, "oh yeah, I want to be here."Comment

Here is a picture, from the TV broadcast, of the tall kid who was directly behind the BU bench Tuesday. The one on the far left is former BU player Michael Stewart, and the one on the right is the kid we are talking about. Flash Flanagan was seated just to the right of this kid. He is definitely not John Wilkins, who I have been assured was not at the game. He appears to be an inch or two taller than Michael Stewart, so he is maybe 6'8" or 6'9".Originally posted by Braveman View Post
Does anyone recognize who he is?

I recognize him. The best player in the history of Peoria High School basketball, class of 2000. I think he even has some eligibility left.Originally posted by Da Coach View PostComment

My guess was Will Egolfs brother?

If you are referring to Beau Smith---Originally posted by JMM28 View Post
Yes, I think it could be him, but I am not too familiar with what he looks like.
And no, IMO he wasn't the greatest player ever from Peoria Central, though I wouldn't want to get into an argument about that. Central had such great stars as AJ Guyton, Chris Reynolds, Marcellus Sommerville, Daniel Ruffin and others. I wonder what Coach Buescher would say?
And didn't he graduate before 2000?Comment

Let's not leave out Shaun Livingston!

Yes he did graduate before 2000. I think Beau graduated around 1995..Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
give or take a year...Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™Comment
