BU recruiting 6'9" Delino Dear

[BradleyBrave]

My point exactly, Dear may be the best still available...

Will Franklin was our 2nd or 3rd choice when we got him, and I am pretty sure Theron Wilson was our 2nd choice as well. We've had some good luck finding some gems in the spring, hopefully we'll have similar luck this year.

This must be the player that JL was discussing at a game day luncheon. He talked about being at a Christian School scouting a player, and a big fight broke out during the game. If so, we have been on him for awhile.

[Da Coach]

That might have been a different player.

I am aware of another big man at a Christian academy in a different state that the coaches have been following a bit longer and are still involved with.

[PeoriaLou]

Coach, you teaser!!! Can you give us a hint? How about sending us on a scavenger hunt? We need some good news!!!

[BUBrave28]

I like hunting, too!!

I hope it's this guy, he sounds like what we need! Moses Abraham

There is also this guy, but nothing is said of him and his weight isn't listed, but he is 7'1.

Other than that all the guys listed on ESPN who are unsigned from christian academies are listed as kids who would be projects and are too thin. I assume that's not what we are looking for. Is this person listed on ESPN Centers?

I had run across the name Ellie Lalhabr as well. I couldn't find out much about him either.. other than he I think he went to the same HS as EM. I did not find anything linking him to BU or anyplace else for that matter.

No, I don't think either of those guys are being recruited by BU. Moses Abraham is possibly the best big man not committed, and is considering Georgetown, Maryland, Indiana, and Texas. I wish BU was in that mix, but they aren't.

....Moses Abraham is possibly the best big man ...

he needs to go to Murray State where he'll be teammates with Isaiah Canaan

lol

[Future Walk-On]

I read that Isaiah Cannans resume on the site you linked to. His high school accomplishments were huge so i figured he would look bigger. I looked up how we was doing.

Look at the top 5 scorers for Murray State and their averages.

Ivan Aska F 10.6 4.9 0.7
B.J. Jenkins G 10.5 2.5 3.2
Danero Thomas F 10.4 4.2 2.5
Tony Easley C 10.4 5.8 1.0
Isaiah Canaan G 10.3 2.3 1.6

I find that cool.

ex-Creighton Bluejay Isacc Miles is also at Murray State averaging 9.5 ppg/4 apg

[SaintLouBrave22]

Is this guy still available?


If VCU and Drexel are in on him, I would throw our name in as they both scout and get quality big man talent...


Granted not sure if they develop theirs better than we do, but its worth a shot if he's still out there...


That and I like the name...


YES DEAR!

[BSSFan#1]

Delino Dear is ok. As already stated he is not the answer at the 5 spot.

His former Mt. Carmel teammate Jon Gac is attending Loyola this upcoming season. Gac is a little shorter (6'8'') but a little more physically stout and has good range on his shot.

Maybe the interest in Dear is due to the fact Dear is more of a 5 and Gac a 4 (or even 3) but I would have been more interested in Gac than Dear. The fact that Gac is probably better than Dear and is heading to Loyola should tell us something about Dear.

[BUfan14]

That might have been a different player.

Are we still involved with this guy you mentioned before??
