The Last Scholarship

Theron Wilson is replaceable. What he gave us defensively at the 4 can be replaced by a number of guys collectively if not just by TB, and what he gave us offensively should be easily replaceable by Andrew Warren, and hopefully a healthy Will Egolf.

I totally agree. I also think Roberts has the potential to be as good as Wilson.

I say we go find some big 7 foot 5 footer overseas and bring him here LOL.

We need to recruit China. They've got some giants over there, especially where Yow comes from.

Chinese players don't play in college. They go straight to the pros or they stay in China. The Chinese government doesn't benefit from a guy coming over here and playing at BU.

Unfortunately, I don't think BU has the recruiting budget to recruit internationally.

recruits at the ODU game......I was thinking I saw a couple there.......was that Wilkins with Flash? maybe someone already mentioned this?

Here's what I would do:

1. Get DSE
2. Get a big man that can have a defensive presence and can move his feet.
3. Bank it for the loaded 2010 class

As a side note that might effect what we do - Warren is back in the boot. Not sure what happened there. I know he was playing in practice for a few weeks at least, but nothing else. Has anyone else heard anything about it?

I don't know who was sitting with Flash, but it was not Wilkins. He wasn't there.

Yes, he has had a setback and is wearing the boot for now. But he is able to work out and even get on the court and shoot.

Setback. I don't like that word... we've already heard it too many times with regards to Warren.

Remeber the foot has a lot of nerve endings and the healing of small bones can always flair up until it is 100%. It does not mean he will not be ready come October it just means he is still a bit tender.

BTW...Bradleyfans has been spot on with his post!

I have always feared a "Bill Walton" from day one with this injury. I REALLY hope I'm wrong.

Let's get the best player available. If it is a guard maybe that person or Jake Eastman can redshirt. If it is a big man maybe we can move some of TB's minutes to the 3 from the 4 position.
Hard to believe a gaurd will help much next year as we are so deep, but a gaurd will be needed when DD and CR graduate.
A big could help next year especially if it means we go to a more traditional line-up of C,F,F,G,G for 10 or 15 minutes a game. It will mean though that we wont be able to recruit another big man for 2010/11 as that will give us 8 bigs that year. Hate to limit our options down the road like that, but if the guy is good it would be worth it.
If we get a real good big, lets take him. If we get a real good gaurd, lets take him. Lets get a good one what ever we do.
