Red-White Scrimmage

[tornado]

well - I thought I'd start the thread...
Friday is the Red-White scrimmage..starts at 8PM...(Chet Walker autographs for fans between 7-8PM)

both Dave Reynolds & Kirk Wessler were at Bradley's practice today - so hopefully we'll have some good coverage in tomorrow's paper...
(there was also a campus visitor there..)

I think based on what I have seen - people will be surprised by the athleticism, depth and development of the players...
Mike Shaw can't play...and Anthony Fields won't play (ankle)...
everyone else looks good to go, Ka'Darryl Bell is 100% after shoulder surgery last spring, and even a couple starting spots appear possibly still up for grabs...

see ya there.......

What's up with Shaw? Fields and Grier were able to play in the red and white game last year. Is Shaw hurt? or am I just missing something...

Was really hoping to see Shaw play tomorrow.

Says Shaw will play, Fields will be a game-time decision as will Zecevic!

Says Shaw will play

Great! Really looking forward to seeing him tomorrow as this is the only chance we will really get to see him play this year.

[LongTimeFan]

Hopefully, us out-of-towners can a report on the game.

correction - Shaw can & will play - it's just an open practice

Also note Dave's mention (near the bottom of the 2nd page) that several recruits from Chicago will be at the scrimmage.

one more thing - the column today mentions that the men's basketball scrimmage won't even start until 9PM
..with warmups and 20-25 minutes of scrimmage then we're gonna have the same thing last year that a lot of fans with kids are not going to want to stay way past 10PM

6'7 Obediah Church (Mentioned in Article)

Dave reported this-

Recruits on hand: More than 20 recruits, most of them highly ranked high school sophomores and juniors from Chicago, are scheduled to attend the scrimmage.

Donte Thomas, the 6-foot-6 senior forward from South Holland Thornwood who has orally committed to the Braves, will be on hand.

Another senior, 6-7 Morgan Park forward Josh Cunningham, one of the nation’s top uncommitted recruits who will make his official visit to BU on Nov. 8, is a possible attendee.

Juniors expected to come are Ed Morrow of Simeon, Prentiss Nixon of Bolingbrook, Luwane Pipkins of Bogan and Obediah Church of Springfield. A large group of Chitown sophomores are also planning to make the trip.


A recruiting source in Chicago reports that Josh Cunningham will be at the BU Red-White scrimmage. Maybe a good sign, as he was scheduled to make a visit to Minnesota, and cancelled that. He still plans to make an official visit to Bradley Nov. 8.
The same source reports that Prentiss Nixon, Marlon Stewart, and Devin Gage (2016 recruit from Chicago Curie HS) are also committed to attend tonight.

[Da Coach]

After a nice introduction for Chet Walker, the BU women are now scrimmaging. But it's an odd scrimmage setup. The current BU women's team is scrimmaging against a team made up of 3 men and 2 former women's players (Leah Kassing & Katie Yohn). There was no announcement about the format and no introductions of the opposing players. As a result, the fans in the crown are perplexed who all the new players are and why there are men.

There appear to be about 800-900 people in attendance.

[Da Coach]

Also, a group of about 15 recruits was just escorted in and seated in the court side chair seats.
