Max and BU

[wily coyote]

Does anyone know if we have a chance of getting this kid? I've heard we are not even on his final list. Can anyone verify that? I don't understand if we aren't. We need to get him to some of our games so that he can see he would get major minutes today. If you know about him but can't put it on here send me a PM. He would be a big time stud plus get a great education.

I had heard we weren't on Jordan Prosser, DSE, or Donivine Stewart's final list either.....

Are we suppose to read something into your comment? Hope so that kid can play.

If I had to guess, I would say that he will end up being a preferred walk-on at Illinois

Bradley had a coach at his last game. My guess is we are still recruiting him.

2011 recruit?

IF the ILLINI want him, and I think they do, that is where he will be playing. When the Athletic Center has your families name on it, it's a pretty good clue as to where his loyalty stands.

I agree that he will most likely be a preferred walk on his Freshman year.

I have heard that now that Max has D1 offers coming in, he is not interested in walking on at Illinois.

This article by Greg Stewart in the Peoria Journal Star from a couple weeks ago says essentially the same-

Bielfeldt took an official visit to Dartmouth last weekend, but Notre Dame coach Eddie Mathews said he doesn't expect his 6-8 power forward to make a college choice until next spring. It's also been said Bielfeldt is not considering a preferred walk-on option at Illinois.

I can see him staying @ home....Max wants to play!

I would love to hear the recruiting pitch Jim gives to big guys on why they would want to play in his system.

"What would you say if I told you I can offer you the opportunity to spend the majority of your time on the floor setting ball screens at the 3 point line, then rolling wide open to the basket without the guard turning to look for you until your no longer open. Oh, and we'll even feed you the ball in the post at least once a game. Plus, we'll blame you for a lack of rebounding even though our system keeps you from being in the paint most of time getting into rebounding position."

Brutal 42,

But pretty much spot on so far with JL offensive scheme since POB/MS/ZA era.

Would you trust throwing the ball to WE/AT if you were a BU guard? I wouldn't. I think they would throw the ball to a good post. That would be my pitch, if you are any kind of decent D1 post you should get good playing time with what we have here right now.

Sadly, JL has struck out with SS, DC, AT, and WE...
