Who will be the highest bidder ? Stay tuned. Looks like a lot of bench time to me unless he picks DePaul.Originally posted by capecod View Post -
The only school out of that group that would maybe be involved with bidding for Josh would be DePaul. The rest of the schools don't have to bid for players.Originally posted by wily coyote View PostComment

Goodman has now expanded that list of potential destinations ...Originally posted by capecod View Post
"Arizona, DePaul, Michigan State, Notre Dame, St. John’s, Minnesota, Purdue, South Carolina, UIC, Dayton, Colorado State"
...but could Reggie Lynch's decision to take the open ride at Minnesota might close that door...
Would love to see him land at UIC ...Comment

So do we place JC in the coaching change fallout category, or, the suddenly thinking BU/MVC aren't "big enough" for my obvious talent category?
Seems to me to be more of the latter than former...BUilding for the Future

Meaning BCS
Can you guys tell me what a BCS school is?
Thank you.Comment

Refers to any "major school" which takes part in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) for Football. Typically those schools are loaded with money and recruiting options.Originally posted by pfcmsh View PostWalk on, Walk on

Which one needs someone who loves to shoot outside of his range and usually miss? Unless he changes his game he will be known, to me anyway, as the most overrated recruit in a long time. If he would have played where he belonged he probably would have had decent stats and the team might have won more than 9 games.Originally posted by capecod View PostWhat part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

but for those who have been around 20+ yrs, you'd have to agree he has what Bayo Akinkunle came to BU with....
a close-in game and active on the boards.....
Bayo was able to develop into an effective short-range scorer as well as one of the best - if not the best - rebounders Bradley has had in five decades..
Josh could have done the same but is looking for the short cut to the bright lights...Comment

Been around a lot more than 20 years and think if he would have played where he belonged, he would have averaged in double figures in points and rebounds. This team was so bad it needed someone to take charge and he didn't have it in him to do it. He'd rather shoot the 3 pointer and usually miss.Originally posted by tornado View PostWhat part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

Chico- I have reason to believe a couple things that explain what you describe...
-first - when shooting unopposed in practice - Josh actually hit 35-40% from the arc
The coaching staff apparently concluded we could use this ability as a little bit of a 'secret weapon'
-second - just like when we suddenly "discovered" Nate Wells also had a little bit of 3-point potential in him, Geno was hoping that Bradley could benefit from Josh getting and taking the open 3 at times....with the defenses lagging off cuz nobody really knew he could make them
-thus- it was NOT fully Josh' idea to be taking those shots
-he was actually instructed to do so in a bit of poor judgement from the coaching staff that actually thought he would make more of them, and who hoped to showcase Josh as a multi-talented kid whose presence on the BU roster would buy some more time for the guys who recruited him.
-but also he didn't make many and the whole plan collapsed fromt hereComment

Josh rebounded very well as was. With him standing on the outside it actually gave him a chance to pick up a head of steam when attacking the offensive glass. Since he was generally shorter than his matchups, he needed to beat them to the ball with jumping, quickness and positioning, which he could maximize by not being stuck 6 inches from his defender in the paint. He didn't show many post up skills. He seemed to have trouble creating a clean look when he was posted up and the defense allowed him to go one-on-one. And our perimeter shooting was poor enough that teams didn't hesitate to double anyone stuck in the post.Originally posted by Chico View Post
Josh got most of his points on put backs and in transition, which was what his game was in high school the few games I saw of his. I'm not sure he had the skills to be a back to the basket guy without someone coaching him up on those.
Ultimately his teammates and the coaching scheme prevented him from maximizing his talents. The few times he would screen for Warren Jones in a pick and roll look he did a very good job of catching and finishing on the move. I have no doubt in the right fit he could be a really impactful player on offense, and he already is a force on the glass. With a little bit of development as a shooter he should be an outstanding college player.
I am rooting for him even if he bailed on Bradley. To be honest, he left a situation that was devolving quickly rather than stick it out and try to fix a team that has had a half decade of failure. I think we will turn things around without him, but it might have been in his best interests to leave tbh just as it was in Patrick O'Bryant's best interests to go pro after his sophomore year even if he wasn't fully ready to play in the NBA.Gotta stop feeding the trolls.
