Recruits

[Da Coach]

A player Bradley has been recruiting for a long time is Evan Turner of Westchester St. Joseph. He is a 6'7" small forward from the class of 2007. He has had an impressive season, and now is being recruited by an impressive number of high majors. Here is a link to a journal he wrote for a recruiting website. Note the next to last paragraph where he lists the teams he is being recruited by and is considering. He says "I truly like all the schools who are recruiting me". Only 2 of the schools he lists are mid-majors, and one of them is Bradley.

Jonathan Montgomery is a highly rated junior 6'3" shooting guard at Chicago Lincoln Park HS. He gives an interview to this same recruiting site. Nice to see Bradley is in on this kid, too. He is a fantastic player with a lot of upside.

I liked the guys website, did anyone see his predictions?

I like how he thinks until the final , but I cant blame him for the pick.

He lists Crawford as uncommitted, but I thought we have him locked up right?

If I get back to Aurora in time for the West sectional final game Friday I will see who I can talk to about TJ Marion.

According to another article the Braves have offered P/G Michael Thompson a ride at some point along with isu and some others?

Here is a post that mentions Michael Thompson that was posted about a month ago with some links-

Does anyone think that with most of the player's seasons coming to an end.......(other than the ones still in post season play)....... that maybe an announcement might be forthcoming?

Will the coach's hold off any announcements until the Braves are also done with post-season play in order to take care of business at hand?

[Da Coach]

I have heard it said we probably won't hear any news until April.

The signing dates are: April 12, 2006 to May 17, 2006

[Big Mike]

DC.......have you heard......will there still be 2 rides to offer or 3 to give if one player leaves?

[Da Coach]

That's right, as far as I know. There have been players leaving early every year, so I wouldn't be surprised if it happens this year, too.
