Sorry B4L. I thought maybe you couldn't get the link. After re-reading our posts, I really sound like a wiseguy. Please don't bully me around.Originally posted by Braves4LifeYea, I know.

But in regards to amckillip comment of it meaning something... maybe amckillip means Rashad is not all 'that' since we only beat out NMSU.
IMO, I think Rashad is a great addition to this team and look forward to him playing for Bradley.Comment

This is great news, looks like we got who JL wanted all along. On the other hand, what are we going to do now. The search for a new assistant can only go so far ...Once A Brave ... Always A BraveComment

wow, now that recruiting is done, at least we think so, it feels like the draft is over and we have entered the dull drums of summer, with nothing to watch but golf and NBA "superstars" duking it out.
I really can not wait until next season. I really think we are going to be good, and I am praying the DW gets it together and makes it to Bradley.Thinking is the hardest work, that is why so few people do it. -Henry Ford
Yeah...I've been in college for a while now and I'm pretty sure that awesomest is not a word. -Andrew E.Comment

I believe we will see DW in a BU uniform next year.Originally posted by Stryker
Not a BOOK IT just yet.....but a good feeling nonetheless!
I believe DW will make us all forget about CC and the others who chose to go a different path.
And welcome to the hilltop Rashad!!!

It's been posted elsewhere, but those who haven't seen these, here are Rashad Austin's stats this season at Northeastern Junior College, of Sterling, Colorado.--
13.1 points per game
7.9 rebounds per game (lead team)
1.4 assists per game
1.0 steal per game
59.0% field goal percentage
50% on 3-pointers (he was just 1 for 2 for the year)
67.5% free throw percentage
The Plainsmen of NJC were a deep team, and Austin did not play a lot of minutes. They also had several other Division prospects who avaerged between 11 and 13 points, so Rashad's duties were not necessariloy to score a lot, though he had some games in the high 20's.Comment

Hoopmasters has the story--
This is a clip of what is said--
Jim Les and his Bradley staff have added a quality junior college inside talent in 6-foot 7 Rashad Austin...
"Rashad has good size and really good athleticism,???¬?? Bradley head coach Jim Les told Hoopmasters. ???¬?He's really skilled and is very versatile. He's a winner who we are really excited to have joining our program.???¬??
Rashad Austin averaged 13.1 points and 7.9 rebounds. He led the Colorado juco to a 34-2 record and a trip to the NJCAA Nationals.
He is a skilled face up type power player who can score on blocks or pop jumper to 17-feet. He can create shot off dribble and finishes in traffic. He is efficient, hitting 59% from the field this past season.
He chose Bradley over his other finalist New Maxico State.Comment

Welcome Rashad! Now I don't have to give all of my red "Austin 3:16" shirts to the Salvation Army.
Seriously...some were getting hung up on us losing recruiting battles. We just won one with this kid. Some may balk at New Mexico St until they realize that Jim Les outrecruited fellow former NBA player Reggie Theus for Austin. Theus turned around a team that lost 24 games just 3 years ago and took them to the tournament this year. He landed a top 150 guy last year. He is a very strong recruiting adversary, and BU fans should feel proud that we won that recruiting battle.
Raise the bar right now...it's time to start targeting an MVC title in the next 1-2 years. I want it this year, I demand it in the next 2. We've got the guards and now the size to play with anyone in America. Yes...America. Now it's just a matter of getting it to mesh. It may take the non-con, but I think we'll be as strong as anyone by the time St. Louis rolls around. Coach...it's time for the countdown....Onward and Upward!
