    BU Rick I respect your statements completely and I understand where you are coming from. Part of me would like to put a bubble around these guys also so we do not have to spend another year of saying if so and so did not get injured then..... but as Houston just said, this has to do more then just basketball. Let's just all hope that our guys have a great trip and that the summer workout program goes as planned.

    Also, does anyone know who they will be playing. I bet it will be teams from their professional league. Bradleyfans should sponsor a corespondent for daily updates, pictures and special reports on Brazilian night life. I'd be willing to do that and even arrive before the team!

      Sorry SFP, nothing personal but I vote to send Beni as he lost a girl friend years and years ago on those Brazilian beaches. He could go early to search for her on the beaches. Think of the pictures he could send us back. If he did find her we would not require him to post her picture. Because after all these years and her age now she's probaby a piece of leather and her once pride enjoys probaby hang so far down that when she walks they drag in the sand making tracks that look like some
      prehistoric sea monster
      This is beginning to look like a long. long summer

            wow...What a start to the morning! OOB, I'll take one for the Bradleyfans team and volunteer to go to Brazil. --and I will take beach pictures-- If I do run into or more likely away from, Sandy the Sea Monster, I'll try to take a couple of pictures just for you. My other pictures would resemble Braves4life's avatars.
            Now back to work!

                  I have heard confirmation that Will Egolf and Andrew Warren will not play in the games on the Brazil trip. I have not heard whether they will make the trip, but because of the expense, there is good chance they will not.
                  Also, as previously noted, the 4 incoming freshmen will not be making the trip. That's 6 scholarship players who will not participate.
                  The other 7 scholarship players- Sam Singh, Sam Maniscalco, Dodie Dunson, Chris Roberts, Eddren McCain, Anthony Thompson, and Taylor Brown will be joined by Ryan Phillips and maybe one or both of the other walkons (Ned Goertzen and James Robertson).
                  There is still no word on what teams the Braves will be playing.

                      He is recovering from surgery. I think he's doing fine.

                        So if we're going with only 7 scholarship players and leaving 6 at home wouldn't it be better to just stay at home and let them have some unofficial practices together. We've got some great summer weather going on. Why not stay home and enjoy it.

                          You haven't heard, Benni has agreed go, suit up and play if needed. In exchange for a little time off to search the nursing homes for his old love

                            but the 7 we are going with...Sam M., Sam S., Chris R., Dodie D., AT, Eddren, & TB....account for 98.7% of the returning minutes that we have.
                            So you don't think the trip could benefit them?? Don't you think if they account for nearly 100% of our returning minutes,
                            that they are going to be the guys who are playing the enormous majority of the minutes to start the season?

                            The only guys who could be projected to play any minutes other than the these are Warren & Egolf (who simply cannot play due to injuries,
                            so it's clearly in everyone's best interests that they don't play) and the freshmen (who cannot go due to NCAA rules).
                            So how is this different from any other team that takes a summer tour, or any other tour that BU could take anytime, any year,
                            to anywhere in the world?

                              Detroit just announced a preseason trip to Spain through sporttours.net, same people arranging BU's tour.
                              Detroit's assistant is ex-WIU coach Derek Thomas.

                              With passports and airline reservations all secured, the Detroit Titans men’s basketball team is preparing to head to Spain in August for an 11-day exhibition tour which second-year head coach Ray McCallum views as vital for the growth of his program.

                                Here is how I see the players who will be available to play on the Brazil trip, by position-

                                5- Sam Singh and Anthony Thompson- AT should get plenty of playing time
                                4- Taylor Brown
                                3- Chris Roberts, Dodie Dunson
                                2- Sam Maniscalco, Dodie Dunson
                                1- Eddren McCain, and Sam M.

                                Walkons could fill in a little at the guard spots and Ryan Phillips can play a little at the 3 or 4, but it looks like Bradley will be playing a smaller lineup, and the 7 available players should get plenty of playing time with the limited roster.
