John Wilkins made official visit to Providence over the weekend

[Chucky T's]

So let me understand....

JW has not returned phone calls from Dave Reynolds to talk about his situation and his upcoming "career" at BU.

JW will go across the country to visit a school that has no scholorships to give but he hasn't traveled two hours to see his future school / teammates play a game.

JW has never....to the best of my knowledge.....told anyone "on record" in the past 4-5 months that he is going to attend BU in the fall of 2010.

I will post a thousand I WAS WRONG messages on this board if JW ever puts on a BU uniform....

Maybe we should just bring up 3 years ago when we beat them in the NIT.... Who wants to get beat every game and play Uconn or Nova and just lose...

[Da Coach]

Bye bye John! What a recruiting class we have lined up for 2010-2011!

Stop with the panic mode.
As far as I can tell, Providence doesn't even have a scholarship for next year. This visit probably comes out of some contact Keno has in Iowa that suggested it, and I would bet JW does not end up at Providence.

As far as recruiting, let me assure everyone that Bradley is in on a lot of high quality kids right now for the 2010 class.

Not in panic mode at all. Just not real thrilled with how the roster projects right now in a year or two. Not ready to hit this yet...but it's coming....

Well, crap. Hope he's still coming but it seems unlikely.

[Boiler]

Names!

Names, we need names of these high quality kids!

I bet if we had a mascot.............ahh nevermind.

...if JW ever puts on a BU uniform....

after you've come back from the ledge...answer this for me...
do you think we should just give up and stop recruiting the kid??
do you know we miss on probably 80-90% of all the recruits we offer...and so does every other school....it's a fact of life..
but I think the coach knows best and he'll stay on the kid, and our chances are pretty good!

Anyway, at least for next year we have almost everyone back...(except Sam Singh & CRob)

Yes but our sophs better be good or we better have some more talented depth or we won't be in any better position.

I think we heard that last year 'We only lose Theron and Collins, but add Warren and Egolf'...

[pfunk880]

I'm not surprised.

No...we need to start practicing at Carver Arena...and THEN all of our problems will be solved.

I bet if we had a mascot.............ahh nevermind.

Curious to know what most of the poster think! Which squad is better this years or last year? As a matter of fact I'll start a new thread with a poll!

I was actually talking about this with another poster over the weekend.

On paper, it seems like we should have been a better team this year than last year. But in reality, it hasn't been the case.

Still time to turn it around, though.

We also lost our best returning 3-point shooter from last season.

Two thoughts....
1. College teams do this all the time so why can't players. Coaches who have all scholarships filled continue to recruit in case something happens. Perhaps JW just wants to have a team waiting if something were to come up at BU like a coach leave or NCAA violations, etc. etc.

2. If a player gives his word and then goes back on his word, I don't want that player representing my school anyways. You're only as good as your word, and if you make a commitment to somebody and go back on it well, that says a lot I guess.
