2013 BU recruits

[tornado]

right now -with at least 3 more open scholarships for 2013 I would be happy to land O'Brien - even tho he seems like a similar player to Zecevic...
but we need BIGGER wing players to create tough matchups...
with the two other open rides for 2013 we need a muscular, defensive minded guard (like - TB, Will F, Kwadzo) and perhaps another big guy since both Will Egolf & JP will be gone after 2013-14,
but would always take a pure shooter/scorer of any size, color, or background if we can land one......

You both make good points t and DC. I've heard that some of Bradley's players were "wowed" by Zecevic during his visit to BU so you're right, we may have already filled that need.

And, you're right on Lee Academy. They have some very good players. I thought Bah was perhaps out of our league but yajusneverno.

........but yajusneverno.

that reminds me - I still have that 45 RPM record but don't have anything to play it on!

If you PM me a good e-mail address I will send you the mp3 version to play on computer or ipod. I don't think it can be sent as an attachment on a PM can it?

I just heard from a source close to Sean O'Brien that Bradley is not longer recruiting Sean. They said the reason given them by Bradley was the commitment of Stefan Zecevic.

that is too bad - I kinda liked SO

Sean O'Brien is on an official visit this weekend to Santa Clara. Santa Clara coach Kerry Keating has already landed one 2013 commitment from Illinois in former BU recruit Jared Brownridge.

O'Brien is scheduled to visit SIU next weekend. It is reported he may be down to a decision between those 2.

FWIW, O'Brien's father posted on Salukitalk extra that they are at SIU this weekend along with Arkansas point guard Dedrick Lee.

...I suspect the coaches are now focusing on another strong need for 2013- a big man or two.

By the way, we know Coach Ford is out in Maine checking out Zecevic. He is also checking out some of the other talent on the Lee Academy team.
We know we need big men, maybe he is looking at this kid-
6'9" power forward Mohamed "Baby Shaq" Bah-

Here is more of Mohamed Bah from Mali-

Lee also has a good guard named Kiefer Douse, who visited Arkansas State this past weekend. Mohamed Bah was visiting Drexel this past weekend.

We have suspected that maybe Bradley coaches might have been looking at one of these other D1 caliber recruits (Mohamed Bah or Kiefer Douse) at Lee Academy while they were there watching BU commit Stefan Zecevic.

If so, then the bad news if that Mohamed Bah just committed to Drexel and is off the board.

The other D1 recruit on the Lee team, PG Kiefer Douse, just committed to Vermont-
