BU recruit 2014- Josh Cunningham

[tornado]

I don't think you hold a scholarship for the kid if he expresses a desire NOT to sign when he has the chance,
but we will likely have a couple open scholarships in the spring

[BUfan14]

Is it confirmed he won't sign this fall yet? In the PJstar it seemed to indicate he was "thinking" of signing in the spring, which sounded like he was not sure yet.

[Da Coach]

Josh's name was mentioned and shown on a Comcast Sportsnet show yesterday in a discussion of the top high school seniors in Chicago. They discussed the commitments of Cliff Alexander, Jahlil Okafor (Duke), Tyler Ulis (Kentucky), and others. But they listed Josh as the #5 Chicago prep player and said he was likely to sign in the spring.

Same thing went on w/ DD. And UNM got him! Maybe we should be. If I was Josh I would love the tweets!


But since weve been told not to by big brother I will leave him alone and just hope he chooses us!

doesn't matter - I have seen fans of Bradley making the same contact violations - NCAA simply doesn't have the time to care - unless there were complaints when we do land a key recruit

Cunningham gets 20-10 according to this column - also still prominently mentioning Bradley
but now we do not have an open scholarship if things are as they are reported...

Macari Brooks - although apparently verballed - has still not signed a Letter of Intent...
Add to that - every year one or more scholarships open unexpectedly -- three did last year...

We can only hope several open up this spring.

[Big Mike]

I'm pretty sure that if JC wants to come to BU a ride would open up!

[LongTimeFan]

It will be the first year in awhile if not any transfer or leave the program. We have even had more than one in some years.

Yes - here are the numbers of scholarships (for one reason or another)
that opened unexpectedly each spring - there may be some I missed - lmk:

2012-13 - 3 (Tucker, Shayok, Crawford)
2011-12 - 2 (Stewart, Hodges)
2010-11 - 4 (Abell, Harris, Maniscalco, Davis)
2009-10 - 1 (McCain)
2008-09 - 1 (Norris)
2007-08 - 2 (Austin, Cole-Scott)
2006-07 - 2 (Brown, Jassey)
2005-06 - 1 (O'Bryant)
2004-05 - 2 (Rembert, Stemler)
2003-04 - 2 (Suggs, Paul)
2002-03 - 2 (Granger, Marcetic)
2001-02 - 2 (Tucker, Tisby)
2000-01 - 1 (Corbitt)
1999-00 - 4 (Selby, Flanders, Clancy, Biddlecomb, Brown)
1998-99 - 4 (Lee, Kirsch, Atkins, Schairer)
1997-98 - 2 (Moran, Collins)
1996-97 - 2 (Grundy, Rigby)

as you can see - Mo had a lot of unexpected turnover the final few years and it led to him having to go out and get a bunch of freshmen for 00-01 & 01-02 and the subsequent drop off
in wins led to him getting fired - EVEN THOUGH - those freshmen he brought in in 00-01 & 01-02 turned out to be GREAT players (Gillingham, Gilbert, Cello, Granger, Tisby, Tucker).
then the rate slowed down considerably all the way thru the JL years to just 1-2 per year and has picked up again to about 3/yr.
I did not count Michael Ochereobia, Xavier Crawford, John Wilkins because they were never firmly in the fold thus they never had a scholarship actually committed to them
...they were never firmly committed, nor admitted, nor sign a LOI...only those who did are noted.



BTW - Josh Cunningham had 14 pts, 6 rebs last night - Kain Harris had 20

Here's a surprise...

A 3rd quarter score...
Morgan Park 44 - Nationally #1 ranked Simeon 36...
Josh Cunningham has 17 but is currently starting the 4th on the bench with 4 fouls

If Morgan Park takes down Simeon then Cunningham's gonna be getting calls from Coach K
