Thank you CABUFan Your confirmation just made my night... Now I can go to sleep happy!

This is, quite possibly, the highest profile recruit Bradley has ever landed

[dogsrus]

Hmmm...my company has extended me a very nice offer at a new position . The ONLY drawback is the travel as it is in....EUREKA. I have been looking for a sign...... Get off work....hang out in Eureka for the evening and catch some Prosser HS games filing a full report for BUFans.com.....

Anyway....CONGATS coach Les. I don't put an enormous amouit of stock in the "star" system but people seem to LOVE numbers and I was wondering if anyone thinks this could help BU with OTHER recruits who see a 4 star committing to BU.

Welcome to BU JP.....you are a Brave Now. Once a Brave ALWAYS a Brave.

Its not on PJ star yet and that concerns me? I would think a home town kid would tell the local paper. If true I could not be more excited. What a team we would have in a year or two!!!! Da Coach or T, I need your confirmation or PJ Star to put something up to believe this??? Nor questioning anyone here but it just seems to good to be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Da Coach]

For me-- Simple ignorance. I don't really know who Cavan Walsh is and have not been able to independently confirm this information.

This is what I get for going to bed early! I missed the excitement!

Cavan Walsh, for those who don't know his name, is the downstate recruiting expert for IllinoisHSbasketball.com. He works with Daniel Poneman, and I have to believe his reporting on this.

Thanks, Cavan, for posting the news here!

Here is the only other site beside BradleyFans.com reporting this--

If true, would this be the biggest get in Jims time at BU? Its amazing how we are going from a guard dominated lineup to a very strong and talented front court!!! For the posters on here that wanted more size you are getting it and its talented size!!

Be happy, be very happy!!!!!

Why nothing in the PJ Star, this would be big news??? Local news as well??? I am glad to hear its from a relaible source. I ask again, if true is this the biggest get for Jim?

My guess is that Cavan first broke the news to us on bradleyfans.com. He hadn't even uploaded it to his own website yet. I guess it was early in the morning or very late in the evening when Cavan first broke the story. PJ Star needs to get in touch with Jordan himself or Bradley to confirm. So, since it was late, they probably didn't get either.

The Bradley coaching staff may have learned it late yesterday evening too themselves. And they may not have wanted to announce this yet officially until they had a war meeting to discuss what's the recruiting strategy now. We have X number of offers remaining, do we adjust that or not? Have the priorities changed? etc.
I'm just guess though.

[Da Coach]

I think it might have come too late yesterday for the PJS to report it.

Here is an nice interview Jordan did with an Indiana fan site back in April, 2008.
In it, Jordan is referred to as a 4-star recruit, which means his rating (now 3-stars) must have just been changed in the past couple months. It also refers to Jordan having ben offered by Kelvin Sampson and Indiana.--

Does anyone else wonder if a recruit might know more about who else is being sought by a program. I think it's interesting that CW said that JP hopes David Brown & Dyricus Edwards would follow his lead soon.

[lefty]

Well I talked to a pretty reliable source that said JP was leaning toward BU but was going to wait until school year started before announcing. He was still thinking of making official visits.

This is great news, I'd still like to see it confirmed by the coaching staff.
