I can't get the link on the wmbd website to work, and I couldn't find a link to the show on BuBraves.com at all. Anyone else have success getting the show through the web?

[California Alum]

It's after 5 pm on the West Coast and when I go to the WMBD web site I hear the rerun of two guys from some morning show. What gives? I thought Les was to be on at this time.

[Da Coach]

For those unable to listen, the show just came on the air at 7:08 from the Peoria Country Club.

I just called WMBD. They should be putting it on the web soon. They just started.

[Da Coach]

Dave is interviewing Steve Merfeld about his experience in the NCAA with Hampton U.

It's broadcasting from the WMBD website now.

[CABUFan]

I still can't get it to work from my work computer. Does anyone know if the show will be archived?

[ser_solace]

yeah, usually all Jim Les shows are archived. However, lately, the archive clips have not been working. Not sure what they're doing there.

[Da Coach]

Dave and Coach Les have discussed a little about each of the players, especially the new guys.

Dave mentioned the nickname the players have coined for Anthony Thompson---> Sticks.

Nice to hear how many of the former Braves have been around and in touch with the people at Bradley

Jim said that Matt is actually dominating in practice!!!! The other thing I noticed is that when Dave asked about Will, Jims voice gave away his excitement about how good this kid is and could be. Jim also said that Sam is playing very very well and is pushing DR................

[Big Mike]

Pretty nice evening.....good time for sure......JL said that when he first called Merfeld about the opening that he didn't know what to expect from Steve.....Steve's response about the coaching job at BU was "well neither one of us is winning the Valley alone....maybe we can as a team!" The evening started out with a slide show from last season and how the 12 player's came together as a team and decided not to lose! Then JL showed the movie that he shows recruits and their parents on the new fieldhouse.....the new mens practice facility and how this new construction has gotten JL into some homes of recruits that he hasn't been able to reach before! He also said that we haven't signed a top 50 player yet but he really believes it is coming! (good for JL) He really likes all the new player's but wishes that could all get a mean streak in them....they are all to nice on the court.....would like them to play more mad....add some fire to their game if you know what I mean! Right now TW is standing out the most of all the new kids......reminds JL of Boogie in the way he plays! SM comes in 2nd with DC coming in 3rd right now.....JL said he has already call SM by his fathers name(Carl) in practice....claims he lost his voice screaming in practice! JL thinks this is the most talent he has had to work with in his time on the Hilltop......but he said talent won't win the games......hustle beats out talent night in and night out! If these guys come together it could be a very special year!

It was a great event as always........

Mike got it pretty accurate, the only other thing I would add was I thought it was interesting when talking about the guys at te beginning he of course led off with Jeremy and Daniel, but then said he expects Warren, Salley, and Sam S were already showing their leadership and he expected big things from those three as well. Maybe the starting 5 for game one???

I was at the event last night too. Big Mike pretty much summarized it all accurately. It was interesting to see the video of the new facilities, and I can see how it would definitely help recruiting. It will be on par with what other programs have. It's a wonder we've been able to recruit any good players with our current facilities. Les said that eventually one of the big name recruits is going to make the jump and come here.
