And a blog that reports that St. Louis needs to add a couple games to the 2007-2008 schedule, and they are possibly looking to get into an exempt tournament. Do they know the South Padre Island tournament is looking for another school?--

You can't "steal" something if they never had it to begin with. I thought Crouch or Ruffin was transferring to SLU.

I'm happy with this. We already have a guard commit. Let them fill up their scholarships.

The title was a bit tongue-in-cheek.

I actually think Jim Les dropped off this kid rather that the other way around. Once Daniel West committed, Bradley was not in the market for another pure point guard for 2008.

The title got me scared a bit. I thought we were finally getting the announcement that Daniel West was saying goodbye to BU. Hopefully that day never comes!

There is no mention of Bradley, but some of the players mentioned are also Bradley recruiting targets.
