Dave reports on Bradley recruiting from Indianapolis--

Thanks Dave Reynolds....very nice coverage.
But I have a couple questions....
*Of course the BU staff isn't going to talk about recruiting, nobody tips their hat on this subject.
But, Reynolds says BU has 3 scholarships for 2008. Daniel West has "spoken for" one of them. But isn't Xavier Crawford still online for one of them also? If not, then this news conflicts with what we've seen in the past.
*Also -- Dave Reynolds says:
"Muskegon, Mich., guard Daniel West has already spoken for one"
Has Daniel West moved from Saginaw to Muskegon? The two cities are over 100 miles apart.
*The name Devin Hill is going to be a whole lot more unfamiliar to people than Matt Roth, Lewis Jackson, and Iman Shumpert.
Maybe DR can give people a link to info about him-
* since guys like Shumpert and Jackson are likely to go "high major", then surely BU is also watching some other 2008 kids. Just in case anyone wants to see who some of the rest are:

RE: Xavier Crawford
I am not an insider but I have always thought X would not be coming here since Ray Brown left. I thought in my mind that there was only about a 1% chance that he still would come to Bradley.Comment

I have heard it is kind of a wait and see thing with Xavier.It all depends on what kind of year he has the staff thinks they might be able to get a better player.Comment

I thought there were four remaining scholarships for 2008.
I only know of nine that are signed and three others that are "spoken for".....XC, Buycks, and West. That would still leave one more unless I've missed something.???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again. We will be much better.??? Geno Ford, 9/22/12Comment

Buycks went to a JUCO so he is 2 years a way.Comment

That's right....I remember seeing that now.Originally posted by bu fan 9
OK....so we have four left and only two that are "spoken for". I'm still left wondering how one of those four seems to have suddenly disappeared.???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again. We will be much better.??? Geno Ford, 9/22/12Comment

From the article, it talks about UNI's trip:
Summer breeze: Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson faces a different kind of August as he will prepare his 11-member team to represent the United States in the World University Games in Thailand. The Panthers return three starters, including all-league center Eric Coleman.
It should also be noted:
That's a big time exemption!Comment

Here are the players that right NOW will be using scholarships in 2008-2009
Singh, Warren, Egolf, Maniscalco, Thompson, West, Cole-Scott, Collins, Austin, Wilson.
That's TEN accounted for, then possibly Xavier Crawford based on some articles that appeared about the time XC went to Yuba which said he is still committed to BU.
That would leave two scholarships, but of course, maybe Xavier Crawford won't be here, and maybe Sam Singh might decide to hang 'em up if his knees give him more trouble.
So I'd say Bradley has anywhere from 2-4 scholarships that still will be filled with new recruits before fall of 2008.Comment

I REALLY think you guys should put an ad in the bonus section "Hoops" of the PJStar this fall.Comment

if links to BradleyFans.com are prohibited on the PJ Star website, do you think they'd let us advertise?Comment

The nine that I spoke of are the current scholarship players on the roster. That leaves us four...with two of those supposedly "spoken for", but nothing in writing....XC and West. If West has already signed a LOI, then great...that would be nice!Originally posted by tornado
I was just wondering where the "reporter" was getting information that we only have three available scholarships for 2008.
edited: Maybe I'm reading the article wrong when he says "the Braves are in the hunt for a number of top recruits for their three available scholarships (Muskegon, Mich., guard Daniel West has already spoken for one)". I read that as West taking one of the "three available".???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again. We will be much better.???

I think he means we have 3 available and a 4th is already taken by West.
Even West cannot sign a LOI until this November, so nothing is certain.
I would have liked for Dave Reynolds to have addressed that issue with Xavier Crawford, although of course Jim Les could NOT have spoked to the topic.
I personally hope XC has a monster year at Yuba and still wants to come to BU.Comment

Money talks.... Paid advertisement related to a team covered in the "Hoops" section. Hey, if they shoot you guys down then it is an obvious snub which may only suggest jealousy and fear for the competition.Originally posted by tornadoComment

Whaddya think, BradleyFans has a million dollar budget?Originally posted by MacabreMob
One tiny ad in the paper would probably cost more than the total spent over the past 2.5 years running the site!
Hopefully BradleyFans will continue to grow by word of mouth.Comment
