Official start to Bradley's 2013-14 basketball season practice today

[tornado]

According to reports - Bradley will hold their first preseason practice today -
beginning preparations for the trip to the Bahamas.
Nice that we are getting a head start on the rest of D-I!
And welcome to Peoria Stefan Zecevic - I gotta think if you just arrived from eastern Europe -
you have probably spent much of the past 24 hours either on a plane or in an airport - get some sleep!

For those that are interested, I have updated the heights, weights and uniform numbers for the 2013-14 season. First practice in less than 90 minutes with a mini-media day before practice.

Great job!

I like the height this team has, but Stefan Zecevic is now listed at 6-6 on our roster. In every previous reference to his height (PJ Star article) and on an internet search (including this site where the info appears to have been uploaded by Stefan himself), he was always listed at 6-5 or 6-4. The most recent roster page from Lee Academy, where he played last season says 6-4-
Is the 6-6 a new measured height? Is he really 6-6 now? That would be a great height for a shooting guard.

[Bobby Parker]

All of the heights and weights are as of this morning as measured by Cody Roberts. Many of the guys had half-inch measurements and I rounded up on those.

Here is the link again for the Preseason Prospectus- lots of good information there, especially info on the new players, not just heights and weights-

Stream Practice Session Sometime?

Hi Mr Parker...

Any thoughts about streaming a practice session or two, or, parts of practice(s), for fans to watch on line? Nothing fancy...

Perhaps someone in BU's Communication or Interactive Media Depts could take this on....

[wily coyote]

yes- Jaden Uken tweeted that Zecevic just arrived

Great glad he is here .Now we can get to work. can't wait to hear who's looking good.

[Bobby Parker]

Interviews with Walt and Geno have been added to today's article about the Bahamas preview event and includes some footage from the beginning of practice today: http://www.bradleybraves.com/ViewArt...CLID=208851965

That's about as good as it will get related to practice streaming, AZ_BU_FAN. And please, no more Mr. Parker references. Bobby, BP, Jackleg all are acceptable references.

Chris Blake, Anthony Fields and Jordan Swopshire also did interviews today with Kurt Pegler, Jim Mattson and Dave Reynolds. I'm sure they all will have added coverage of today's practice and mini-media day.

Well it wouldn't be a BU prospectus without mentioning the fact that Jordan Prosser drinks a lot of milk.

I wanted to bump this thread - because it contains the link for the PRESEASON PROSPECTUS that BP posted -
and I know some fans might want to read it again to get to know the players ahead of the trip and exhibition games.

BTW - BP - any chance that when you're blogging - you an let a few of the players slide in and talk a little about their experience on the trip?
