Max B. again

1. Go watch him again.
2. Disinterest is not mutual.

A smaller, slightly more athletic Sam Singh I think is a good comparison. He dominated the HS ranks too ya know.

BB if singh stays healthy for 4 years he would have been an extremely productive and a successful 5 in the Valley. He was quite athletic and would have only expanded his game after his freshman year. If this player from ND is then compared to Singh though more athletic then its pretty obvious he would workout well at BU.

Never seen him but it is pretty apparent to me if he was interested in BU BU would find a way to bring him in, I can not imagine his game is not better then Well's. But I do not see where currently his game fits into the need of a shooter this program is dieing for.

Unless he can walk in and take the 5/4 and its his for 4 years to me this program really is in desparate need for a player who can make a jumpshot and spread the floor.

Greg Stewart had a piece in Preps Plus reporting a recent visit by Max to Michigan.

Says their final scholy may be between Max and one other un-named recruit.

You must have been watching a different Sam Singh than I was. At no point was he ever athletic. Overweight perhaps, but not athletic.

When Sam first arrived in Peoria I was able to watch him play summer ball at the Rec Plex and he moved fairly well for a big man, I do believe he would have been a much better player if he would not have had the knee injuries, he never was the same player I saw after his injuries, even though he was not a star at BU I will always admire him for what he went thru as a lot of players would have called it quits if they had to go thru all the rehabs Sam went thru in his career at BU.

Never questioned his heart. But he wasn't athletic before the injuries IMO.

I really thought when he was a freshman he had very good potential to be an impact player in the Valley.

He could move, had good form on his shot, big both wide and tall and yes he did have athletic ability. He was not fat or out of shape when he was a freshman.

He was not going to hammer down lobs but he could jump and could go get the ball off the rim.

He was a shell of his self after his injuries.

Agree with you here..totally....

Sam was a friend of mine and did have some athletic ability, including average hops and he was really not himself at all after both injuries. He lost lateral quickness and leaping ability almost entirely. I think we've seen a similar, though not as drastic, drop in athleticism with WE after his knee troubles.

Except Max has the ability to step back and hit the occasional 3 and has a really good mid range jump shot. He just doesnt need to with the team that surrounds him at ND since he has good shooters around him.

Exactly. Sighn is a horrible comparison. Max is more mobile than SS and is definitely a better shooter. I have no doubt MB is a D-1 player, starter at a mid-major and potential starter at a high D-1 in a year or two. I really think his strength is underrated, he plays so strong in the low post and he's only going to develop more. Really not sure why there isn't higher D-1 interest.

Well, that pretty much explains why BU hasn't offered. Our last scholarship was given to Wells before Max exploded on the scene. Unless something different happens very, very soon, BU is not in the picture.

[Da Coach]

Nothing is written in stone. Bradley continues to follow Max and other 2011 kids, because the scholarship situation can change, as it always does after every season.

[wily coyote]

I hope there still a chance. I think his family could find a way to pay for his 1st year and put him on a scholarship his last 3 years. Probably never happen but a person could hope.

I'd be curious to see the comments about Singh when he was in HS, especially after his impressive games against guys heading to the SEC and winning a state title. Methinks they're very similar to the ones we're reading about Max right now.
