Oh No! Chico, don't look!

Oh No! Chico, don't look!

I'll look at a local area kid, but who cares about a kid from Chucago Orr going to Odessa in Texas, or a kid from Morgan Park going somewhere? On that whole (long) list.not 1 kid going to Bradley, which I'm interested in. Sorry.

[Da Coach]

I was just kidding... I also skip a lot of those followup posts about obscure recruits from years ago that we barely had contact with.

.. who cares about a kid from Chucago Orr going to Odessa in Texas, or a kid from Morgan Park ...

ahhh... how quickly we forget...
but the mere presence of those Orr & Morgan Park kids - hailed as top rated Blue Chippers - as kids to build a program around - as the best recruits drawn to Bradley's campus by any coach ever signalling the unparallelled recruiting prowess of Geno & staff...
..that they were at one of our preseason Red & White's prompted near-seizures of joy from our local press and the proclamation that it ushered in a new era
- a DEFINING MOMENT......"UNPRECEDENTED"...signalling more to come - - a "return to glory"

Dave Reynolds described it as the pinnacle of his 23 years of covering sports

"Remember this day, Bradley fans. It may take some time. But it may well be a moment that ushers in a return to glory for the Braves."

just one word - LOL

[Chico]

What that has to do with anything is beyond me.

Canton's Hunter Rhodes has helped his Kirkwood team to 6-0...

Kirkwood is now 13-2, and Rhodes is averaging 13 ppg on 49% shooting from the arc, and 4.5 asst - good for a DI juco but not getting any DI interest unless he wanted to walk on

I've heard a report (unconfirmed) that may point to Canton's Hunter Rhodes walking on at a DI...time will tell
