Wilkins enrolls at Southeastern Iowa JUCO

[Da Coach]

Is there any connection between Southeastern Iowa & BU?

Yes.

[JMM28]

Dion Thurman, Mike Davis, and Billy Gay attended Southeastern Iowa before going on to the Hilltop.

[Big Mike]

Does this mean a ride will open up for a Big next year too?

Well this is a bummer...but what can you do....good luck to John and lets hope he keeps the Braves in mind....will have more comments when I see the arrticle with some details!

[Out of Bounce]

Happened today. Say goodbye to John Wilkins this year, probably forever.

You called it all along BB, you were right

[jasonpeoria911]

So does that mean he'll still have to serve his 5 game suspension if he comes to BU? Or will that be served at SE IA?

Does this mean John would have 3 years of D1 left to play if he graduated in 1 1/2 years @ Southeastern Juco?

[houstonbrave]

A real disappointment. He would have helped-if not this year then next year. Now he will have to hustle and see if he can get his associates degree in the next 1.5 years. Although some seem to be giving up on him coming to Bradley I take it as a positive that Jeff is restating his commitment to Bradley-really no reason for them to do that if they don't mean it. So, I take them at their word and look forward to having John in 2010-2011.

Questions (which I am sure will be answered in time) and have been mentioned elsewhere -does the 5 game suspension hit him in JC rather than at Bradley ? If he does not play this year does he have 3 years available at BU ?

[Big Mike]

In my world this opens a ride for next season...I hope we have a couple Bigs in mind to choose from...ONE Big and ONE gaurd to help round out the team for next season!

[thefish7]

Well, that's too bad he'd've been a big help if he'd been able to make it to BU this semester. I hope everything works out for John and he gets through his associates degree and does indeed remain committed to BU. Be happy to welcome him here when the eligibility issue gets worked out, and wish him well whatever he does decide if he changes his mind.

FWIW, it seems like time to get his little (big) brother enrolled in a US high school so he can qualify right away.

[J Money]

Shocker. You could have banked this one by New Year's.

Just read the PJStar article. Nice release by Mr. Wilkins.
