State Tournament Recruiting

[LongTimeFan]

t, I definitely agree that Bradley's chances of landing impact players is better in the fall. Too many players 'blow up' in the spring and no longer consider Bradley.

having an off-year as we did might actually cause some recruits to see Bradley as an opportunity for immediate playing time...
ISU landed a bunch of decent players - Daishon Knight, Reggie Lynch...etc...
when they cleaned house and had a lot of instant playing time available...

I recall so many people going gaga over BU being the 6th or 8th "most improved" team in the nation a year ago....and "the future looked bright"...etc....
but in the end those players we landed last spring have done very little - and a couple may be already looking for the door.
If we're going to reload again this spring - I hope dangling a little "instant playing time" can be a lure...

T I agree the ability to have "instant playing time" can be a big facture and the ISU situation is living proof that it can be turned around if enough spots open up. I'm just afraid enough spots won't open up to give us a chance. We are a long way from being competitive. Now the other problem. If enough spots do open it is very important we don't miss on anyone we can bring in. If we swing and miss on anyone we probably are looking at Thur. night again and I hate to say it but, Geno's job could be on thin ice.
