2010 BU Recruit- Michael Ocherobia

[mrcoachdude]

Gee, I guess we can't please everyone.
Some fans have known about Mike Ocherobia for almost 2 months. This site intentionally kept this information confidential at the request of people involved, so not to adversely affect his recruiting. Now that he is 100% committed to Bradley, we have continued to keep the info off the boards, while posters on other bulletin boards (who are not Bradley fans) have chosen to publically discuss it.
But now that the info has finally reached the PJ Star and gotten published widely, I don't see any reason that the true Bradley fans here shouldn't be informed about Michael Ocherobia since there is little known about him, and little available on the internet, and everyone wants to know about this athletic big man.

Hey Coach...there are some Bradley fans on that other board I am sure you weren't calling out all the posters over there...

I am curious how one can call themself a fan and post what they know could cause a problem?????? Why? Even if it were a little thing and probably would not make much difference.....why?

Maybe some "Fans" don't post early because their source asked them not to post until official?

mrcoachdude, the poster who started the Ocherobia thread is an
ISU fan, and the majority of posts in the thread are from ISU and Illini fans. That was what I am referring to.

I also new a while back with links and everything but my source asked to keep it off the board. I want all the information possible and I'm sure not going to open my big trap to hurt my future chances of getting updates.

yeh I knew that....just trying to appease a couple of people

You are wrong about this. I suggest you talk to just about any coach who has ever worked at the D1 level and you will find out.

What exactly am I wrong about?

Are you saying that if I talk to any coach who has ever worked at the D-I level they are going to tell me that they look at bradleyfans.com to find their recruiting information?

That was the only claim I said that I disagreed with in my original post...that opposing coaches look at this board to find recruiting targets that they could steal from BU.

First of all when BU does not announce information on this player it is for a reason, I have known about him also for a long time and if it was suppose to be public they would have issued a statement about him like todays in the paper.

I don't know how you came up with that "the majority"? I can root for whoever I want to and you can't stop me. I root for Bradley first, but I also like to follow Illinois, Loyola, ISU and SIU - what's the problem with that, I grew up in Illinois and like the teams from Illinois.

What? Tons of us have known about him... And aren't you agreeing with DC?

And there is actually a very big reason BU doesn't announce stuff even though they'd like to... They can't. They didn't announce the Stewart commitment, even though they really want it to be out, because it's against NCAA regulations. As would BU announce anything about Michael...

27 post are by others (at least by my count)....20 by BU fans....and I have 5 posts myself including one little smiley face post....

think that is a majority..

I am a Cardinal fan...but post about Cubs too...that make me a Cub fan?

Sounds like a great player, if all goes as planned.

First I've heard about MO. Just wondering, if he does sign with the Braves, will he be considered a "project" like so many of our big man recruits? Potential wise, how does he compare with JW?

different type of player entirely. Mike is a center, JW is an oversized small forward. Mike will be an unknown since we don't have stats on highschool games, etc.

All I'm hoping is that he is a paint eater, plays tough D, loves to rebound and can hit the bunnies like they are going out of style! If he can play quality big time minutes and have WE and TB slide down a position for quality minutes then BU will be real tough to beat.

SM - DSE - Mr. Lemon
AW - JE - DD - DSE
TB - DD - JE - MK
WE - JP - MK
MO -WE - AT - JP

We will be able to mix and match with anyone! If JP can give us quality minutes our depth at the 4/5 position should be great.

We still have one more scholarship and I hope regardless we pick up a sharp shooter either for this year or next.
