Is it too late to rename the new Bradley Main St Parking Deck, next to the Puterbaugh Men's Basketball Practice Facility, the "John Wilkins Memorial Transportation Repository" ??

One would think a top rated recruit, who we think would make such a big difference in the MVC, is still available...
With all the early NBA defections going on, and JUCO's being snapped up, shouldn't a a player with JW's hype, with 3 years eligibility vs 2 for a JC player, been scarfed up by now by a mid to upper level BCS program?
Something just doesn't seem right with this whole recruit...will be intersting how this plays out and how good a baller JW ultimately becomes in college.
Guarantee he is being strung along by a BCS school and if he does not watch out his secondary schools may also move on. Taking his time like this could cost him. I do hope that JL is going after other recruit hard and not contingent on anyone's 2nd choice.

Bradley was the 1st school that was willing to take a chance on John Wilkens, he has been a secondary thought for a lot of schools so I hope he realizes that he was our 1st choice and still is which should be the most important thing for him in his decision, he will have a lot better chance at playing here instead of Indiana where most of their fans do not believe he is good enough for them.
This whole thing reminds of an average looking girl in high school, let's call her "Brandy". She had a nice personality who would do anything to be "Johnny's" girlfriend. Brandy had a crush on Johnny for years and he loved the attention she gave him all that time. Of course as Johnny become a popular jock, he spent most of his time flirting with the hotter, easier girls that had all the "attributes" a young man desires, hoping to hook up with one of them so all his buddies would think he was cool.
Johnny always knew that if he got deperate as prom approached, Brandy would forget all the time he spent chasing after the cheerleaders with questionable morals and just be thrilled someone like him would hook up with someone like her. He treated her like crap and he knew it, but he didn't care because he was out of her league and she should have been happy to have a chance with him.

I am ready for John Wilkins saga to end. BU basketball will be just fine either way. Hopefully JW will see all the great things that make BU unique if not that is fine and will wish him well.

It won't end until he graduates from college.

Guess who's "Brandy" and who's "Johnny"...
Good story :-) At 19 Johnny might not appreciate Brandy much...at 29 he will probably be sorry!
But then - that may be exactly what's happening with the Tyler Zeller rumor...
I wouldn't hold my breath on the Tyler Zeller rumor. One of the IU guru's spotted his Mom wearing a UNC sweatshirt at a game this weekend.fwiw
I'll post his twitter link when I get time.
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.??™
From all I am hearing in NC Tyler Zeller is not going any where.
I forgot to post the twitter message. This guy (inside the hall) is an Indiana guy with his own site. Probably not as good as Peegs, but he is informative.
Insidethehall: I don't buy rumor of Zeller being unhappy at UNC. Mom was wearing Carolina Blue at recent AAU event. Ed Davis going pro will solidify PT.

yajusneverno...
UNC has 3 FIVE-STAR kids coming in this year (Harrison Barnes, Reggie Bullock, Kendall Marshall), and had soph John Henson (6-10) and the Wear twins, Travis & David (both 6-10)..
but at Indiana, they basically have nobody, and are willing to promise tons of playing time to 6-7 D-II juco kids...so Tyler just may be homesick...and not want to return to where he was only 7th in playing time allotted..
Ed Davis, despite what he says, still hasn't hired an agent yet...he was only a 13 ppg scorer...but right now he is projected as a lottery pick, so I suspect he'll stay in the draft.....
Cody Larson just committed to Florida...so now he's out of the picture...
and the available targets for Indiana's Tom Crean are all drying up......
as soon as McCombs decides, we should hear Wilkins' verbal...
(McCombs' tweet seems to indicate his #1 is Arizona State, #2 is IU, and #3 MTSU FWIW)
Iowa might get a recruit, as a kid out of Philly (6-3 combo guard) that McCaffery had been pursuing for Siena, is now leaning to Iowa...http://iowa.scout.com/2/964077.html
