Reynolds makes it official for all of you naysayers!!
A huge get for BU!!

After the word on PrepBullseye and Hoopmasters, there was never a doubt. It was great to hear Jordan and his family talk about the commitment and Jordan's future at BU. I got a really good feeling about this one, it just seems like a perfect fit (I had a very similar feeling about JC when he verballed). These kinds of players, local or not, thrive and excel in the MVC.

Thanks BUFreak.

But what about all the support given for the verbal from all the Kool-Aide drinkers?

"And the new facilities will be there my freshman year."

looks like the facilities are already starting to pay off in recruiting and they aren't even finished yet!

I know McCain mentioned when commiting that he was impressed with the new facilities video. The facility construction is certainly helping!

I believe that Sean Harris mentioned the new facilities as well.

I was discussing this topic with someone the other day (new facilities).....he was stating it will be nice to actually have them done so recruits can physically experience it/them and while I agreed I said that nowadays kids live in a virtual world unlike when many off us grew up.

I offered that a slick video presentation might just be enough for many of them....while there parents might want to be able to touch and feel it the kids probably enjoy seeing it on DVD.

Just a thought....

[real fan]

This is just the start of what the new facilities will mean to recruiting as players want a good facility to practice and play in which BU will now have next season.

[BradleyBrave]

And kudos to the BU staff who can do such a
good job of selling the new facilities when all there is right now is a
couple holes and a lot of dust!!

Hey now...they've got the metal frames in place for the pillars!

I hear banners go real well with pillars!

Then EVERY BU fan who has ever given even one cent to the development
campaign, or who has supported the athletic department in its endeavors,
can give themselves a pat on the back for helping out with the recruiting.

Crap--I just pulled a muscle

Let me just share this...

I have received at least a dozen separate private messages from different people...some who are frequent posters, and some who are not...
all conveying their intense excitement at the commitment of Jordan Prosser and what it means.
Some see it as a true Continental Divide (as one of the posters said) in which Bradley is NOW right there recruiting against the big boys and holding our own, instead of always losing to them.
One poster said this....
"This is the most excited I have been for Bradley basketball in my life."

I hope someone passes on to JP that the fans are really looking forward to seeing him here at BU.

Well, I certainly hope everyone keeps expectations on Earth.

Well, I certainly hope everyone keeps expectations on Earth.

I agree 100%. How quickly we forget the excitement of the Sweet 16. I was really excited to get Marcellus Sommerville. Heck, the Hersey Hawkins era was pretty exciting too. Let's not go too crazy here. I'm very excited about landing a local star, but let's keep try to keep it in perspective (while at the same time enjoying this).

Well said BradleyBrave... I am very fired up about us getting Prosser, but for me, nothing so far compares to the Sweet 16 run. JL and staff landed a high profile recruit. Let's build on this news to get another high profile recruit.
