Bradley did well this year by making Josh their top target and attending every game he played in. Chin stayed on him and in the end we landed our first top 100 recruit in over 30 years. Who is the 2015 top recruit that Bradley is or should be pulling the Josh treatment on? I know it helped with Josh that his Mother was a BU grad but it wouldnt have worked without the full court press and you cant do that to every kid, not enough time and staff. What 2015 kid is above Bradley but with the right focus and attention we could land? My pick would be Edward Morrow.

That's a good choice in my book. Or Gavin Block. i know i like him better than most on her e but the kid can flat out shoot.Originally posted by mexicobufan View Post -
but he is not Mac Irvin, so it's a longshot...
We could use Kain Harris but something's up - he just transferred out of Morgan Park

I could be totally wrong about Harris but I don't see him in a BU uni. Not because he won't want to come here but I really don't think he will be a priority. I got to see MP up close and personnel last Spring even saw them practice at Manual and he didn't even start for them. They started 2 Soph .guards ahead of him, hence maybe one reason he left MP. I know we had interest in him at one time ,just not sure we have the same interest now. Maybe the move will be good for him and his playing time but we will see. Just saying he wouldn't be high on my list. I've been wrong before and maybe wrong about Harris but I don't think so.Originally posted by tornado View PostComment

"but he is not Mac Irvin, so it's a longshot..."
That was one of the big reasons I went with Morrow. I am starting to believe we have a shot at anyone thats connected to Mac Fire. I remember Coach Ford saying that Shaw coming to Bradley made it easier for X to come and X coming made it easier for Morgan to come and Morgan coming made it easier for Josh to pick Bradley. I am hoping the next one is Morrow!Comment

Waiting/hoping some of the more successful BU players from the late 80's-early 2000's have sons who can really ball and would go to BU...
Question for the guys who know more about BU MBB than I do...
How many sons of former BU MBB players have played at BU?
Who was the last one?
ASU Coach Sendek tells Phx media men's college basketball recruiting is
like pro free agency now with more liberal transfer possibilitites and JC's (the new college mbb development league).
http://www.azcentral.com/story/sport...-asu/10358767/
As far as recruiting JC players, he states, recruiting top frosh may only get you 1-2 years before they try to go to the NBA... Getting 2-3 years out of a JC transfer may be preferable....BUilding for the Future

just a note - Yesterday, June 15 - was the first day on the NCAA recruiting calendar that coaches can call kids in the basketball recruiting class of 2016 - so you will be hearing reports of offers....some coaches will be very active....especially those who are somewhat done with their 2015 recruiting
Here's an article on how Tom Crean spent hours & hours on the phone to dozens of the top recruits in Class of 2016...
..hope we're getting in on a few also -- unless someone leaves early -
we have NINE juniors and could need to fill NINE or more openings in our Class of 2016!!Comment
