Braves lose 73-68

[thefish7]

Ah, how things change. Remember when the Prosser redshirt was an indication of strength and depth that everyone was happy about? It certainly hasn't worked out like Les planned, obviously, but you don't waste the redshirt because you have three terrible home losses. It has absolutely no relationship to Prosser being legitimately 4-star or not, ready or not. None of us (except for maybe mrcoachdude) have the information, yet, to know what kind of D1 player JP will be.

wow gentlemen.

I call it a fail that a FOUR STAR HYPED RECRUIT has to redshirt at Bradley...when we need a 5.

i have not given up on him at all. I'm just saying it is just another recruit is all

Except he didn't have to, he did to better himself even more. Most consider him a 4 anyway, but probably either in our system. And I don't get how he is just another recruit. He is still a hyped recruit.....not everyone just steps in John Wall style and does great, it is about potential and obviously people think he has it. I don't call it a fail

Jordan Prosser was a 4-star recruit....

He was a 4-star recruit..."was" is the operative word there...He had been dropped to a 3-star guy by rivals.com and a 2-star guy on scout.com long before he signed with BU.
He will be what he will be...who knows what that is...but he was not a 4-star recruit when he signed with BU. More like a 2 and a half...

3-star on Rivals.com

2-star on scout.com

A 3 star recruit started at Illinois as a Freshman and is now an NBA all-star....but whatever ratings mean nothing.

EDIT: 4 star

And??? I don't care about Illinois recruiting, I'm sure it is way easier to recruit there than here.

I guess I am spoiled. I just have the opinion the a majority of 4 stars can make an immediate difference at a team lacking bigs especially at the level of BU. I wish he had felt he was ready i guess??

i was told JP was a four...rivals says 3

[ER3]

i was told JP was a four...rivals says 3

and scout has him as a 2-star...
He was a 4-star early in his HS career...He had some legitimate big boys looking at him as a Frosh and Soph....but he fell off a bit his next two years and so did his recruiting rankings along with the interest from most of the BCS schools by the time he signed with BU.
Not saying he can't be good, great, whatever...Just saying it is not correct to say he is a 'prized, 4-star recruit'.

hahahaha....

going to bradley or being a fan of bradley is like buying generic cereal...

Actually the crowd was great but every stinkin time, and I mean every stinkin time that the crowd had reason to stand, then Creighton would go on to nail yet another wide wide wide open 3.

Half of Creighton's shots were 3's. Now why would a team shoot so many 3's when they are the worst in the league so far and on the road? Why you ask, well it's because the defenders were getting burned time and time again on man to man, so Les had to use zone a bunch and that in turn led to so many wide open 3's.

Yeah the ref's made a few questionable calls, blah blah blah but Creighton was a 1-9 team on the road and the worst 3 point shooting team in the league. A few bad calls by the refs didn't factor a whole lot in this loss.

But, it is what it is. They are playing us like the Bradley teams the last few years.... you live by the 3, you die by the 3. It's pretty clear that opposing teams have seen that weakness in our D and repeatedly chuck up 30+ 3 point attempts on us.

A 9-9 or 8-10 finish is in the books for this season, i'm ready for the MVC tourney to start and maybe some luck for BU.

Crowd was okay in the second half I thought. First half was quiet, but I think everyone was shellshocked by the 1/13 start or whatever it was.

i was told JP was a four...rivals says 3

It makes no difference what star JP was. If JL thought he would have made a big impact this year he would be playing.

I'm not sure Creighton can play any better than they did tonight...and Bradley still should have won. That gives me hope for the rest of the year.

a whole family of Creighton fans sat right behind me and they have seen most CU games..
and they agreed, this was the best their team had played all year long.
On the season, their 3-pt shooting is by far the worst in the Valley, yet they hit almost 40% last night...congrats to the Jays, they deserved the win last night.

That's interesting too. They seem to take those shots with alot of confidence.

Makes you wonder how much P diddy,alan,allen whatever his name is messed this team up.....we'll see how they do the rest of the season.

In the past it seems Dana's team has consisted of good shooters...

I still think CU won because of their D in most of the first half and the fact they play 11 guys...
