Simple Relationship

Jayden, we are excited to see you playing b-ball for BU as well! Same for Darrell.

It's a pretty simple relationship...

If you:
1. Complete your classes and remain eligible
2. Practice and play at max effort and unselfishly
3. Stay away from anything/anyone illegal, whether you personally agree or not with existing rules/laws
4. Be honest and treat everyone with respect

In exchange,

BU students, BU MBB fans here in Central Illinois/around the globe, and, local sports media will unilaterally:

• Root for you and the Braves like crazy
• Support you forever, athletically, academically and socially
• Treat you honestly and with respect
• Help you in your future career, if they can, whatever it may be

It's just that simple....

Good luck to both of you on the Hilltop!

Any Surprises So Far Today?

Have there been any surprises today from recruit(s) BU thought they had locked up who haven't submitted their LOI('s) to BU yet?

[Da Coach]

I do not believe the coaches felt they had anyone else "locked up". They are still working on adding 1 or 2 more recruits.

Good news!

I do not believe the coaches felt they had anyone else "locked up". They are still working on adding 1 or 2 more recruits.

If they are players that can help next year, I would prefer two more recruits. Really would like to add a big man but they are as scarce as hen's teeth this time of the year.

Their high school numbers from this past year

Hodgson- 15.1 ppg, 6 assists per game
D Brown, Jr.- 22.6 ppg, 6.1 assists, 3.0 rpg, 2.8 steals - career scoring 2,678 pts

One reason given by Darrell Brown, Jr. for selecting Bradley...
"I liked the way the coaches welcomed me (on my visit to Bradley)..
...I liked the way the team played (he was at the Indiana State game) ...
It got very loud and the fans supported them the whole game."

...so the fans helped land Darrell!
