Stewart is not your typical 5'10" point guard. This is one of the most highly-regarded recruits we have ever landed, and the best point guard recruit I can remember.Onward and Upward!

Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™Comment

Great get for BU!
He should be able to step right in and take the baton from Maniscalco and lead this team over those next four years...Comment

Thinking of our backcourt in the future. I see Donivine at the Point and DSE at shooting guard. That is two good shooters, but not great. i think a small forward like Milos who can really shoot would be good with them. I know his season dropped off as it went along, but I hope he keeps working because he would fit well with these guys in the future. They could drive the middle and dish back for outside open shots.Comment

I understand the sarcasim, but this is a quite high profile recruit. That type of signing, I hope will lead to continued higher profile recruits. He is not 6'10 but hopefully his signing can and will influence a big, especially one who knows Stewarts game and has can see himself playing with that type of point guard.Originally posted by BU RICK View PostGreat news!!

Side note as an LCHS grad this is great, hope he doesnt turn out like the last Limestone product who signed at BU to play basketball.Comment

at one point when Donivine was a freshman, he was one of the top 3 rated kids in the state...
when some of the trouble happened at Limestone, kids ineligible, etc...then unfortunately Donivine's resume caught a little of the negativity even though he was totally uninvolved with that.
The fact that his team plays against schools like Richwoods, Manual, etc..that are the top teams in the state, helps develop his talent...but it hurts his chances of rising in the rankings a little as he simply cannot be expected to win games all by himself, although at time he does.
For those close to BU and who have been going to games, then you know "behind the scenes" we have known for a couple years that Donivine was being pursued by BU and really liked our program...and has been to campus and to games many, many times...
Here are some older threads noting that at one point Illinois had an offer extended (but then they got Tracy Abrams)
(note the prediction two posts below the one linked, saying BU was out of the running?
)
Bruce Weber was at one of Donivine's games 2 years ago...
(Dan Poneman had Donivine Top 10)Comment

I trust your judgement, I've never seen him play. I didn't see DSE play either before he came to Bradley and that turned out good. I'm just a little depressed today because I've only got one team to follow now (I don't follow lots of teams, like many of you that post) in the NCAA and that would be UNI. I'll be following Illinois, ISU, and WSU in the NIT.Originally posted by BradleyBrave View Post

Is he really a legit 4 star recruit?Comment
-
Nice pickup guys... congratsComment

As i alluded to in another post that was deleted, he's a 0 star recruit on Rivals, but a 2 star recruit on Scout. So, the answer would be no, he's not really a legit 4 star recruit.Originally posted by Bradleyguy10 View PostComment

Donivine is as good of a scoring PG as we are ever gonna get........
He still holds some records in the Trusted Choice Tournament of Champions for scoring, and that was when he was playing against many of the very top players in the entire nation who were in those tournies...Comment

Oh well. Some others seem to be in love with him so maybe he's got some potential. It only matters how they play for Bradley anyway..not how they played in high school. Welcome Donivine!Comment

Donivine scores a lot of points, but has to out of necessity. He's a step ahead and a level above everyone else on the floor with him, and often times you'll see him make some great passes when guys don't even know they're open. He certainly can score, but I think he'll be much more of a distributor first, score second guy when he gets to the Hilltop. It will be important that BU surrounds him some great shooters, because he will be able to get into the lane just about any time he wants to.Onward and Upward!
