2010 BU Recruit- Michael Ocherobia

[shaunguth]

Is no news good news for the Braves re this possible recruit?

I'm thinking so......since less than two weeks ago JL said we are currently recruiting him. Hopefully, just waiting on the paper process to go through and he's able to enroll.

Does anyone know if he has ever visited the Bradley campus?

doubt it?

So to me the natural question now would be... Is BU done for this recruiting period?
...

nope - the busiest "recruiting period" of the year is just beginning...and our guys will be out and all over the place...

However, recruiting for 2010 recruits is over, except the possibility of a transfer.

I'll be very disappointed if MO does not come to BU but if a transfer is looking to come to BU, I hope he is a big man. Can anyone say if this possible transfer is a guard, center or forward ?

[Da Coach]

It would probably be a guard for a couple reasons-
There aren't many transfers available who are quality big men, but there are several very good guards available.
If a transfer came to Bradley, they would have to sit out a year, and would not be available until 2011-2012. Since Bradley will lose 3 seniors after this coming season, all guards (Dunson, Maniscalco, Warren), a quality D1 guard to replace them would be our biggest need then.

So does that mean we're done as far as Ochereobia is concerned also? Or you meant done on recruiting non-MO/non-transfer players for 2010?

[Da Coach]

The MO situation is still open.

The MO situation is still open.

Until we make another commitment or JL says something that states we are not I will believe that we are still working that angle. What we need on this board is someone with connections that works at the NCAA. It would be nice to know where they are at in the process of getting him cleared. Does anyone know what the process is to getting an overseas player eligible?

[Da Coach]

It would be nice to know where they are at in the process

Again, I could be wrong, but I am not sure the NCAA is even involved yet with MO. They don't begin their clearinghouse process untill the athlete is admitted to the university, and then the school submits their academic information to them.

If that's the case here, It could be August before we know the final outcome.

There is a clue regarding one possible transfer buried in this HS basketball column-

Looks as though he had a very rough freshman season.
Not so sure about this kid.
