Signing day- Wednesday, April 16, 2008

[Da Coach]

Bradley will be receiving Letters of Intent from multiple players today (4/16/08 ).

We know at least 2 of them--
Dodie Dunson and Darian Norris.

Bradley already has signed LOIs from Chris Roberts and Eddren McCain from the November signing period.

As soon as we hear news confirming the receipt of any Letters, we'll post it. I also think we should be prepared to hear some unexpected news in the next few days.

Stop toying with us!

Chuck is coming back?

[ER3]

Barry Hinson is joining Coach Les' staff as an assistant?

[BradleyBrave]

Bradley has been invited to play in the inaugural 'College Basketball Tournament of Postseason Champions (and runner-ups)' (CBTPC)? I heard that we would be playing Tulsa for a 4th time for the right to play Kansas. Winner of that one gets the winner of Ohio St/Ole Miss v Memphis. I want another shot at Memphis!

All kidding aside...I look forward to some more good news.

Unexpected with a "smiley face"?

Is Patrick O'Bryant being giving his 2 years of college eligibility back!?!

[Beninator]

Lirpa Sloof will announce that he is walking on at BU.

Oh wait...that was covered a few days ago......

I fully expect to sign another recruit as Les has not made any statements saying that we were done signing new players, I think he would have after our last verbal.

I agree. The question becomes where does the last scholarship come from?

That is evidenced by the fact that another 2008 guard is scheduled to visit this weekend.

That may not still be true. Recall that this report was published before the latest commitment. IMO there seems a good chance this could have changed.

Just going by the timeline that I'm aware of. Kaylon's scheduled visit was reported on this board some seven hours after word of DN's commitment and I never heard otherwise.

[Braveman]

Well, look at it this way... One of BU's best ever, Hersey Hawkins, had a great career here- a super NBA career as a guard and yet he played center in High SChool...

[Da Coach]

The timeling appears to look like this--
The report of Kaylon Williams visiting Bradley came from an article on the Mississippi State Rivals board posted Monday morning (4/14). But that article was based on an interview with Williams' AAU coach from Sunday (4/13).

The first public word of Norris committing came from a Rivals article posted just after noon on Monday (4/14). So I am sure that the statement that Kaylon Williams had plans to visit Bradley was made by his AAU coach before he could have known about Norris committing to BU.

Let me state that I do not know what Williams will do. But in my opinion, I think there is a good chance he would change his plans since BU has already signed 3 point guards in this 2008 recruiting class and does not have any more scholarships to give.
We'll try to find out and let people know.

[Da Coach]

I think this answers the question pretty definitively--

Kaylon Williams signs with Evansville--

The fans at Missouri State are upset. They thought they would get Kaylon Williams, but the coaching change their hurt them.
