Dyricus To Stay at Bradley!

[real fan]

Let me say one thing again, Jim Les is gone and a new era is here, I think everyone should support coach Ford and the Braves and let the past go, coach Ford had nothing to do with Les being let go so lets look forward to the upcoming season and the future of Bradley basketball .

(got him at +20000 to win at Augusta, gotta go with the local favorite).

I took 3 dollars to Arjun Atwal at 400/1

He won a tourney last year so its gonna be sweet when i swim in $$$

I also bet on like 5 more guys so I'm bound to cover my losses.

I'd like to see who you think (your list of 10 or 11) will be better than JP next season.

McDermott
Seck
Richard
Echenique
Carmichael
Koch
Harris
VanDeest
Egolf
Stutz
Ekey

Fair enough. I would put Ekey and Pross on the same level. Pross has the potential to be a double-double bruiser machine; Ekey has a broader skill set and more athleticism.

I have to believe the best is yet to come with young JP! The system we ran did not take advantage of his skills. Saying who is better at this time may look foolish this time next year. I can see JP playing the weak side and coming in and cleaning up. TB in the blocks will open up his game, guaranteed.

Who on that list do you predict he will outplay? There are alot of good players there.

He's a different player then most on there and one guy that did not impress me this year was Carmichael. I thought he had a huge upside but I'm doubting that we'll see one. McDermott is the cream of the crop and I like Echenique everyone else has a few flaws either; not having the muscle to go inside or the ability to knock in mid-range shot or play tough D or just plain old out hustle everyone. You can see the desire in JP and I have to believe his upside is pretty huge. Just my opinion! His numbers steadily increased throughout the season and in a new open system I can see him blossoming.

The system won't be open if no one can shoot the 3. That's what really hindered ISU's bigs this season; everyone just clogged the middle.

Good point but I'm hoping we will be pressing and running a ton more then you guys did. I agree our weakness right now appears to be the ability to shoot the 3 consistently. As others have said we need a shooter or 2. SM would have helped but even with him we would have needed someone else to step up.

i do not agree

[QUOTE=45otseoj;227350]No, I can't say that I do.

A last place team loses their best player to graduation and lose their team leader to transfer,and now they're poised to make a run at the title?


Im sorry, in my opinion we did not lose our best player to graduation, our best player was out with a heart condition and will now return if we are lucky.
Andrew was a great player at BU and will be missed, however, TB being out was an AW opportunity to shine
If we have a healthy TB that stays mentally focused, he could be a POY contender the next two years. he has the ability and talent to be a high draft pick some day.
And as far as a leader, leaders stay and hold the TEAM together.
Maybe SM was not the leader of the team as portrayed. Seems to me like the true leader, is still on the team
leading takes place off the court as much as on the court, On the floor SM was a leader, off the floor somebody needed to step up and pull the team together and I am sure someone did, no hard feelings for SM it was his decision, Im just not going to think of him as a team leader off the floor.
we dont need to know who's holding them together, I'm just glad they are,
thank you

There were several positive posts and then the shots started with post 17. Not hard to guess whose post started it - just like every other thread...

[Bradleyguy10]

Whoa...I just now figured out how to put a link to another post...I've always wondered how people do that..

I also just noticed there is a button to report a post...crazy...

You said post 17 so I went back and noticed there are numbers...never realized it before haha thanks

Do you not think TB has the talent to be a POY ?
