Bradley recruit- 2007 juco Charlie Coley

[the daxified one]

you told us to keep you updated on Coley. We just received his LOI. Took a while there was some sort of delay with his mother having to look over the forms. The LOI is in now. So he will be a 49er in the fall.

Thanx, dax, hope we see you in the NCAA Finals!

[the daxified one]

i hope to see that outcome too. Charlotte 49er fans would go crazy.

Some other information on Coley's decision other than the fact that it was closer to home than bradley.

He and our senior sg Leemire goldwire are great friends. They played against each other in high school. So that also might have played into his decision to choose charlotte.

[the daxified one]

hey guys. just wanted to give you an update. we expect to see him for the first time in the summer league games our guys usually participate in. It's more of a laid back league. hosted by NBA player Jeff McGinnis (former tarheel and current member of the bobcats). I'll let you guys know about how good he is or isn't when I see him play.

hope everything is going well with the braves on the recruiting front. good luck next season.

Charlie Coley has already started to impress people at Charlotte.

Here are a few articles referring to Coley's jumping ability.
Jim Les obviously could see the athleticism and potential that Charlie Coley had.--

And finally- here is an NBA site that evaluates Coley's attributes for the NBA draft. His athleticism is rated a 10 out of 10--

Charlotte fan here. Yep, we're really happy to have him.

I found your site when Charlotte & Bradley were both recruiting David Collins - I'm still saddened that he committed to your school just prior to taking his scheduled visit. But Bradley recruited him longer and I hope it turns out he picked a good school with BU.

It looks like we're butting heads once again: http://charlotte.scout.com/a.z?s=428...=1&nid=3397119 Thought I'd stop by to see if there was a recruiting thread when I saw this one. Surprising to see Bradley recruiting in the Carolinas.


And as far as Coley goes...if it makes you feel any better, Charlotte put a lot of effort into signing two Palm Beach, Fl recruits several years ago: Alonzo Gee and Leemire Goldwire. Gee, of course, is a star for Alabama - but at one point he looked primed to sign with Charlotte. Goldwire is our star and he's as good as they get - on and off the court.

Charlie Coley was not widely known when Charlotte was scouting around in his hometown - but a relationship was established with him and HC Bobby Lutz. After he blew up in juco - no doubt, Lutz had an edge as a familiar face. Although Coley is still rough-around-the-edges in some aspects - everybody seems really happy to have him.

Good luck this year and hope to see you in the tournament!

I see the Odom kid went from a 1 star last week to a 2 star this week?

[Da Coach]

I noticed that this morning, too. I don't know what it means, and don't know if Bradley is still in on him.

[Big Mike]

DC.......did Odom sign somewhere today......he is no longer listed under Bradley?

[Da Coach]

I think that Scout.com list might be just the players that have been offered and are not committed elsewhere, and Odom isn't listed there--

http://bradley.scout.com/a.z?s=455&p=9&cfg=bb&c=4&yr=2008

This is a more complete list (still Scout.com) of all prospects that Bradley has been linked to, and it includes Odom--

I do not think he has committed anywhere yet.

I figured any basketball fan would enjoy these videos. Looks like we're both having good seasons so far. I hope to see you guys in the tourney!

Thanks for those videos......we had a player at BU a couple years ago we called "Boogie" and those dunks remind me of some that Boogie threw down.
Of all the recruits that Bradley has just missed on or who decided to go elsewhere, Coley is one who is consistently putting up good numbers and his team is benefitting.
As I noted elsewhere, Roy Bright may be the only other one putting up good numbers but his team is losing big time to everyone.
