Seemed too good to be true.
Oh well - moving on.
Not much more that Geno & WS could have done I imagine. I think they handled it the right way and were thinking of the best for Remy's future, though he would have been a star at BU with probably more P.T. than at other schools he's considering.

Everything will be just fine.

Alright then. Moving on.

[amckillip]

Was expected. Maybe J. Crawford will surpass Remy anyway.

Moving on, let's get the next guy on the list! Still have to believe BU would have been a great choice for him but I'm sure there are a few scavengers out there in his ears.

This gives Coach Ford another scholi to work with. I think this will be a challenge, but not a road block.

Again let's not fool ourselves to say this is not a big deal and it should not be a shock to anyone. Is the world coming to an end? NO! but that makes it 3 quality players not suiting up for BU next year and any replacement most likely will not be able to fill those shoes completely or at least I'd be surprised. The question is how long does this set us back. I hope Coach Ford is a better coach then most, has a few recruiting surprises up his sleeve for this year and can make it up the following year.

I also believe the Harris release is a bigger set back for next year then the RA release. I for one do not believe his time away from bball would have effected him at rebounding and that may be our biggest weakness going into next season followed by 3 point shooting.

I think a quality coach (which I believe Coach Ford will be) is more important that any player(s) we lost.

Changing coaches always leads to player changes as well. Just look at BU's own history. This was expected. I still believe in the long run, this move will greatly improve Bradley basketball.

So we have a kid signed, have 2 coaches in his living room, and can't keep him? Very bad.

Give me a break. Happens to the best of 'em.

We had Sam signed and here for year.....and he still left.

What's your point?

Well stated. Remy was probably going to find a way out eventually even if JL was still here. If Geno's teams can hold (and add onto) leads in the final two minutes consistently, this will have been an excellent offseason.

You can spin this any way you want today..

We wont know until we actually see his body of work.

Good luck to him.


Quit worrying about him.

I wish there was a good Point guard available right now.

This sounds like a rationalization. Remy asked out because Coach Les is gone, not in spite of that. There is no way he asks for a release under normal circumstances. That just doesn't happen very often.
Remy is an outstanding prospect. We will miss him.
