SIU-E - Lennox Forrester

They are rebuilding everything in the VC, rounding the gym off and adding stadium seats and making the gym look similar to Carver, only with one level. Construction will start in April and last until the end of the summer.

Sounds like VCU

Scout4126, do you have a link to a website that can offer more details on the renovations at Vadalabene?

To transition a 3000 seat gymnasium into a Carver arena type facility sounds very ambitious.

I have never been in Vadalabene Center. What makes it nicer than WIU Western Hall (5,139) or EIU Lantz Arena (5,300)?

I'm surprised he made that many. I mean I like Sahiou, but he's not a D-1 basketball player. It would be interesting to see/know what the coaches saw in him. I mean he must have been at least decent in high school to get to BU, I know not every recruit will work out like Will or Zach did, but the only thing Sahiou can do on the basketball court is jump.

Snell mentioned many times during the Jim Les show that Sahoo was the best shooter in practice, so the good % does not suprise me.

Sahoo was a gamble for the staff. BU had an extra scholie available for either a late big-time impact, or a player who might be great. BU took a chance, as a non-BCS school kinda has to when 5-stars are not knocking on your door. I'm glad it worked out OK for both Sahoo and BU that SIUE came along.

Cleaner, newer, more basketball friendly and not in either Macomb or Charleston
