still quite non-committal on what's up with Barnes...

and Darrion Harris "won't play this season", although his name is still listed on the roster.

Necessary summarizing article on the new faces. Never heard of that Amerson guy.

Nice to hear about BU gearing up for their first official practice! Hopefully all the injured will be ready to go once the season starts as it's going to be very important that all of the new guys can mesh well with the returning ones. Not often you see this much turnover and not have some issues early. Tramique is going to be the key guy on this team as he will be the linchpin to bring everybody together. Hopefully he's as good as Geno believes he is or we'll be looking at another Thursday night in St. Louis.

In case you didn't get to attend Bradley's first practice -- never fear....you have a couple other options...

-WHOI was there to cover it - watch for Jim Mattson's report

and ...........I know it's not BU's practice, but....
ESPN will cover Kentucky's practice, which btw will also have NBA agents at it reportedly --

I guess there's no violation as long as there's no contact with players and everyone else is invited as well....no different than NBA scouts watching games as part of their scouting jobs...

Dave Reynolds also has coverage of Bradley's 1st practice

one note - DR mentions that "a dozen" Class of 2016 (juniors) will be visiting Bradley this weekend...
..some of the names he gives are - "Zach Norvell and Ben Coupet of Simeon, Devin Gage of Curie, Charlie Moore of Morgan Park, James Jones of Bogan, Nick Robinson and Zion Morgan of Kenwood, Brandon Johnson of Thornton Fractional South and Michael Bradford of Bradley Bourbonnais."

(but I am pretty sure he means Micah Bradford of Bradley-Bourbonnais)

Geno visited with Dave Snell in today's edition of Voice of the Braves: http://www.bradleybraves.com/ViewArt...CLID=209695423

By my count, the known list includes three point guards.
