Welcome to BU Kotch and Nate.
Happy days are not far away again.

Really happy that Nate chose BU!

According to verbalcommits.com, though, we've got yet another international player in Nate! Apparently he's from an overseas Metamora . . . .

Nate is going to be a great addition to this bunch. I think everyone here can vouch for him becoming the next Jeremy Crouch at BU!

I have heard this comparison from a couple basketball experts, including one who is in Bradley's HOF and another in the IHSA HOF. Let's hope so.

There is another BU recruit, class of 2017, who is similar, and who would be a great kid for Bradley to land, too...A.J. Youngman.

AJ Youngman Probability

What kind of a chance (and why) do we have to earn A J Youngman's signature on a NLI? Does he fill a position of the most need on our scholarship grid?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

well - nobody knows - probably not even AJ and his family at this time..
but if Bradley is his best or one of his highest offers....then we have a chance....
especially if Bradley continues to get better and looks like a winning program by this time next year.

Also, both he & his dad have been to a couple games so far at the Civic Center this year and were at many last year- they do appear to like Bradley and why wouldn't he want to play here in Central IL where he & his family live.
If he starts getting Michigan State or Villanova offers then I expect we'll have stiff competition - but if his offers are like Nate Kennel's - or just mid-majors - then I think BU is in the hunt.
