2007 BU commitment- David Collins

[real fan]

Salley will be a better player with another big on the floor at the same time; I thought Matt did fairly well considering he was the only forward on the floor with 4 guards and it was his first year of d1 basketball; we now have 7-0 collins, 6-7 salley, 6-9 singh, 6-10 thompson, and 6-9 egolf to go with 6-6 brown, 6-5 williams, 6-5 crouch, 6-5 warren, 6-4 fears, 6-0 maniscalco, 5-10 ruffin, and 5-10 cole-scott; this is a great balance of size and speed; coley or knapp may be a backup plan if williams cannot get in.

Consistent with what it represents.....
when the "Founders" "built" BradleyFans,
they had the foresight to not only design it to be a great
fan website, but they started right off with sufficient bandwidth
and traffic capacity to handle the loads well into the future.
In other words, BradleyFans is built like a Brick ***house and better than a Mack Truck.
NO EFFORT was spared to make BradleyFans the best fan site in the Valley,
for sure, but also quite possibly one of the best in the nation.
I have been told from informed sources, that we have never
yet exceeded even 1/10th of the allotted bandwidth, so since that's the case.........

BRING IT ON!!

It's amazing the interest the signing of a big man generates. This thread has been going for just 2 1/2 hours and has 56 replies and almost 700 views. Unbelieveable!

Here is an article from ChicagoHoops.com, usually the first site in the Illinois region to pick up on Bradley and other college commitments--
Head Coach Jim Les And The Bradley Braves Land 7-0 Juco Center David Collins From Missouri State-West Plains

If Chicgo Hoops is not stretching it too much in saying, "The 7-0 Collins is a long and highly active player on both ends of the basketball court. His length, athleticism and ability to run the floor make him an ideal fit for the Bradley system" then this signing is fantastic.

DB....perhaps we will be watching him together with a few other Brave fans at the San Padre Shootout then discussing a BU win over a couple cold ones and victory cigars at a local Texas golf course.

Don't forget the sailboat!

"A" sailboat or "the" sailboat.......IF you have one we may never leave .

Hoping to speak with KK soon to see the chances that BU is indeed looking at this tournament.

Dog and DB your two are talking about South Padre, is that dreaming or is BU expected to participate in the tourney? Htown is 8 hours approximently from South Padre perfect excuse to miss Tday and get some sun and BU basketball.

Rumors we are looking into it....will try to confirm.

Dogs - I'm hearing Daytona is more likely than South Padre as the tourney, but I would love to see South Padre. That is a good tourney, a fun place to visit, and games are telecast on CSTV for those who won't make the trip.

I really though am curious who is not arriving or losing their scholly if we bring in another player.

[Fetz86]

i think the concensus is that deaaron might not make it academically.

[amckillip]

Coley, 4/16

Every once in awhile I get kind of a sixth sense...........

I said before that once BU started landing big-time players that we'd then land an absolute STUD!

I believe that stud is Coley. He commits to Les during his visit 4/15; we find out about it early Sunday evening (4/15) on BradleyFans.com from Da Coach or Tornado (before the PJS reports it)

4/16 is a monday... also, congrats on the 100th post!
