2009 BU commitment- Jordan Prosser

[basketball nut]

I can understand where BBF is coming from but maybe thsi wasn't the time to take it so deep and personal by some on the board. I am very excited to have JP cioming to BU but one never knows how hard he is going to be willing to work to make himself better. From everything I have heard of this young man I really do not believe this will be the case here but one never knows. As I have said before look at JC and the difference in how he did each of his first 3 years at BU. Agood first year but then didn't think he had to work too hard for his soph season and rode the bench. This made him realize what it woudl take to be the player everyone thought he could be and it turned out great for him his junior and senior season.
I hope JP has watched and learned from JC and even JJ as to what it takes to be great rather then just good. This is college and all of the players were stars on their teams.

I know I am late and back a few pages but.......................YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Jordan and welcome to the BU family....I will enjoy watching you at this next level....

Folks....we got a good one.....I am not predicting stardom or anything like that as one never knows...but....this youngman will make Bradley and the Peoria area proud...on and off the court.....

on a side note......thanks to those who texted me about this.....it is great news......

This is just awesome! I don't know what else to say.

[mrcoachdude]

We know you were the one who taught Jordan all he knows, Mrcoachdude, so we had to tip you off ASAP.
In fact, I am surprised you weren't asked to be the new Bradley Director of Basketball Operations in an effort to land Prosser...

All he knows....NOT!....

I saw him a while back and had my BU shirt on......maybe it helped .....I have another star coming up through the ranks.....maybe I can get a job offer on the next one

Just to pick one name from bbf's list of guys BU just missed on.....

Here are Fay's numbers from last season:

10.9 min/game

2.4 points/game

1.8 rebounds/game

62% ft shooting

9 assists, 20 turnovers, 4 blocks

I most certainly hope JP's numbers are better than this if he's getting 11 minutes/game!

I know JL wanted Fay pretty bad, but I doubt he was as highly rated a recruit as Prosser. I don't remember him having so many flirtations with the likes of Indiana & ND, etc.

Prosser is definitely a higher profile recruit than Fay was. He's a great get for Les and BU.
Now let's get a couple shooters and a Theron Wilson type of player and we will be in pretty good shape for the next 4 or 5 years...

With this signing are we still going after Wilkens and would he play the 5. We are a bit loaded in a good way at the 4! I would expect TB capable of playing the 3, ala Scottie Pippen, WE could spend some time out there if he starts hitting his 3s and ballhandling skills. I also expect SH to play the 4 coming off the bench more likely and adding energy. Coach K said he has a tremendous engine and I just wish we had him this year! There is some real size! Gotta love it!

Congrats to the Braves Coaching Staff

From Sycamore Land: A recruit of this apparent level is good for all the Valley. Keep them coming & we will try to do our part as the Sycamores attempt to make a run for the (Valley) roses in the next year or two. We made small steps last season and expect to make more this season.

Are you the coach demanding me to sit out? I never said one bad thing about Jordan Prosser. I said he seems like a good recruit. Is this considered a bad thing? Of course all teams get players they "think may do better in the college game". I don't know a coach out there who wants to get bad players.

I didn't realize fans all had to fit in the exact same mold or that some fans opinions matter more than others.

Ooooh A sore point with some here bbfan

Great post and thanks for coming to the site...I always respect the fan of a conference opponent who realizes that Bradley or any Valley school who gets a commitment from a high level recruit is good for the Valley's recruiting as a whole. With McKenna at the helm, things are moving in the right direction at Indiana St.

There is also a short video clip of Jordan from 2006 about one third of the way down this page off the Eureka website.
