Not that it means anything, but some posters on an Illini Board are saying that they feel that we have a good shot at him because of the established relationships. Also, there is supposedly an article (I haven't seen it) on a premium Indiana board that says JC is shopping around for a school that will let him play on the perimeter. If he wants 5 star treatment I think he knows Bradley is the place, but if he wants to just be another recruit playing in a big conference he may go elsewhere.

nobody really knows for sure but it was pretty widely discussed among the IU people that with their loss of a couple big guys - Indiana was likely to need Josh more as a big man playing the post and thus he told them he's looking for where he won't be asked to play as a big man and wants to be used only as a wing, which is where his best chance would be of playing a the next level.
But if you saw that on the Illinois boards - they probably took it from us...

Can't imagine why anyone would want JC to play the 5. He is NOT a 5 and I would never see him as one. He wouldn't even be a 4 in my mind. His best position IMO would be a 3 or a stretch 2 but I think a3 would be his best position.Originally posted by tornado View PostComment

Most of the schools recruiting him are recruiting him as a 4. That may be Bradley's advantage, thought I think he really is a 4.Comment

This is where I see having Barnes being key for the success of both players. Both are kind of hard to define as they could both slot in as a 3 or 4. Playing them together would allow Geno to slot them in the most advantageous position based off of match ups.Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
I don't know if that helps sell Bradley to Josh, but it would let him get comfortable and hit the ground running while he refines his skills into whatever kind of player he thinks he wants to be.Gotta stop feeding the trolls.

I sure hope there is a back-up plan in place......lots of good players signing up this week, could miss out on a player who could have helped while waiting on the JC sweepstakes?

I heard Creighton is the school that will land JC.Comment

Good gravy I hope not. I hate Creighton. I would much rather see JC suit up for Indiana or maybe South Carolina.Originally posted by patrick_o'brian View Post

Josh Cunningham tweeted this-Originally posted by mexicobufan View Post
I will be announcing what school I will be attending on Tuesday at 3 PM at Morgan Park high school.
The retweets urge him to pick Indiana, DePaul, and South Carolina.
The St. John's beat writer says it is between a final 3 of Bradley, St. John's, and South Carolina.
A South Carolina website also says the final three are Bradley, St. John's, and South Carolina.
IllinoisPrepBullseye says he has 5 finalists: Bradley, DePaul, Indiana, St. John's, and South Carolina-
Another Chicago recruiting guy, Daniel Poneman, says he'll pick Creighton. However, from what I have seen, Poneman is not as well connected as he used to be.
One more interesting development- Indiana Head Coach Tom Crean is desperate for size after his only effective big man Noah Vonleh entered the NBA draft. He just got a commitment yesterday from 6'9" Tim Priller, a virtual unknown forward out of Texas.
Last Friday, he also got a committment from another virtual unknown kid, a 7-footer from Arizona.
Indiana does have 1 scholarship left, and is still hoping to sign Josh Cunningham.Comment

the spring signing period ends May 21 at midnight so he can't do too many more of these bluffs and false announcements
BTW -- the St. John's guys are gleeful because they are reporting that Bradley is OUT OF THE RUNNING...
and that Bradley just ran out of scholarships and have landed another juco wing player...
Of course BU has landed a couple smaller juco guys who maybe they are calling wing players in Warren Jones & Kendahl Amerson ..but both are SG's or Combo Guards
and landing them does not use up our last scholarship.
...but then their ignorance doesn't surprise me at all with some of them tweeting imbecilic things like this

With this coming to a close tomorrow now would be a good time for a final poll!Comment

After all this I do still want him at BU, he has ties, he has talent, and if we want to turn things around, he can really help...Comment

The latest list- this recruiting guy just spoke with a member of the Mac Irvin coaching staff and says -
Josh Cunningham top finalist are Indiana, SCarolina, Bradley, DePaul, Creighton, & St Johns.

Nice that we are in the mix, but really do you guys think we have a shot amidst the schools that are in the running?
Not sure why he'd want S. Carolina - Indiana probably lack of PT. Creighton a definite possibility and my guess as to where he'll end up.
DePaul - who knows - maybe.
Bradley - we just don't get the recruits we really want and need. Other than hoops (which I think he knows BU hasn't been doing well since we made the NIT), not much in Peoria that would attract a kid other than academics.Comment
