  • Vote : Danny Adams Color Analyst

    I've listened to a couple of the BU games on the radio, and think DA is doing a great job so far, given his experience.

    What do you think?

    He does sound a bit nasally and higher pitched over the radio than in person.

    Great young man. Good luck to him personally and in both of his careers

    It was the NIU game, I'm thinking wow this guy is good. And then I remembered it was Danny Adams, he's doing a great job!



    Edit: My mistake, that was Chad Kleine doing the color with FB on the video stream for the NIU game but Danny also does a great job working with DS.

      He's doing a much better job than I expected, I think there could have better hires, but DA has surprised me.

        He's 3 games in. I don't know what the expectations were or what the criteria would be for declaring whether he is doing well or not. Is he preparing adequately before each game and showing up on time? If so, then I would say he's doing a great job. Keep working hard DA.
        Onward and Upward!

          I have seen Dave Snell spend the hours he spends doing pregame preparation, and I am sure he makes sure Danny is involved as well.

            I have caught a couple minutes each of DA and Bobby Knight...I will say he's better then BK who needs to find a coaching job soon......

            30 seconds left in the Illini game Illini up by 3 and BK claims if they hit these free throws its over.....The terps close within 2 with 5 seconds.

            Illini On the line for 2 free throws making both would put them up by 4 with 5 seconds left......

            BK then says they should make one (putting illinois up by 3) then MISS the second so Maryland doesn't have a chance to set up for a good shot. WTF......

              My thoughts exactly!

                  Agreed....very good for being 3 games in. I remember when he first started as a sideline reporter he seemed a little nervous and fast, but now he seems very relaxed and insightful as a color guy.

                    I haven't noticed tons changing each game but DA is WAY better than I expected and much more comfortable on the radio this year than he was on TV last year. He sounds like he has been doing this far longer than he has.

                      He is doing fine, but in the post-game he needs to remember that "Talk about" is a very lazy way to start a question. It's not even a question, it's a direct order.

                        Dog,

                        I agree that BK's job at the end of the Illinois game was awful.

                        DA is doing just fine for a new guy, but I do miss Coach

                          I like what DA has to say when he pipes up. I think he just needs to be a little more assertive, which will surely come with time and experience.

                          During a timeout during the NIU game (the radio feed continues on B.tv), he was talking to DS about how NIU was getting too many bunnies, but that they were just missing them. He has a lot of insight, but he just needs to speak up a little more.

                            As I was fortunate enough to win the "Bids For The Braves" auction and do the second half of the Quincy game with DS and DA, I'll toss my insight on this.

                            First thing I realized in doing the color on the WMBD broadcasts is that it is definitely Dave Snell's show, and rightfully so. You pick your moments to make comments but, as Dave does such a great job, you sometimes have little to add to the commentary!

                            Overall, Danny is doing a great job and he looked as though he's putting in similar time that Dave is doing to ensure a good broadcast. I'd like him to be a bit more forceful, maybe even challenge the listeners, but that will come in time. I really enjoyed working with Dave and Danny and think they'll be a good team for some time to come.

                              I think DA is a good job; he'll continue to improve and is much better than he was last year. I really think he is better than both Coach Bish and Stowell.
