I think the best commit of all may have been Coach Brooks.

It's starting to look that way. What an instant impact.Originally posted by Mike Radigan View PostI think the best commit of all may have been Coach Brooks.
My sister was on a flight from Dallas to Peoria last week and said that she got to talk to Coach Les on the flight. She doesn't know anything about the Braves except the two game against the U of I and MSU. After talking with him, she wants to come to a Bradley game in Peoria this year.1996 & 2019Comment

While I can't dispute the official height/weight statistics, he's every bit of 6'4" tall and sure looked like he weighed more than 165 lbs to me.Originally posted by TheHeemyMonster View Post
Welcome to BU Chris!Comment

Seems like a slightly odd commit to me, but I'll take it. Anyone else feel like JL and co are doing an even better job keeping stuff secret, I mean we knew a little bit about this guy but not much...Comment

Good to hear we got a new recruit. Welcome to BU, Chris!Comment

It's good to hear that we've got another Texas recruit hopefully Coach Brooks' connections continue to pay off.Once A Brave ... Always A BraveComment

I think Jim Les likes Chris Brown because he is a 6-3 version of Will Franklin with more athleticism.
He can do it all, handle the ball a little, score, and rebound.
Remember that Will Franklin averaged only 8.4ppg and 2.9rpg as a juco sophmore, and Chris' numbers are better than that as a freshman at juco (9ppg/3rpg), and 40% from 3-pt.Comment

Looking at my previous photo post above of Warren and Roberts side by side it is hard to believe Roberts is 6'3" 165 pounds.

Mike, he is definitely bigger, decide for yourself.
But here is the updated (html) Scholarship Grid.
We still have one scholarship for 2008 for sure, and at least one more possible unless taken by Xavier Crawford.
Of course something else could happen that could free up even more.
(ps-- the scholarships allotted to Crawford, Buycks, and Sweatman are still a bit speculative)
Oh, and one other thing.................
WELCOME CHRIS ROBERTS !!!
Van Coleman says this about Chris Roberts:
"October 1, 2007
Bradley adds quality junior college guard...
Jim Les and his Bradley staff dip into the junior college ranks to add a quality wing scorer and defender...
According to a source close to the program, and confirmed this afternoon by the Peoria Star Journal,
the Bradley Braves have added their seconf backcourt recruit this fall in 6-foot-4 170-pound Chris Roberts from Navarro CC, TX.
The thin but very quick wing talent can knock down long range jumper or slash to hoop and finish above the rim.
He has really quick hands (2steals a game) and feet to become a defensive stopper in the Mo Valley.
He averaged 9 points and 3 boards last winter, but based on his summer play look for those numbers to blow up this winter."Comment

6 4 long and quick... sounds a lot like JJ.Comment

I'd settle for 3 ppg and 9 rpg! Our rebounding prowess was a little on the wimpy side last year!"The NCAA is so upset about alleged recruiting violations at Kentucky that they decided to give Cleveland State the Death Penalty"--Jerry TarkanianComment

I concur witrh a couple other posters. Chris Roberts is definitely not skinny. He is very muscular and strongly built. I would guess he must be 185-190, and around 6'4", as he was a shade shorter than Andrew.Originally posted by TheHeemyMonster View Post
I have heard that this is the 2-guard Jim Les really wanted more than anyone else available, and he is ready to step in immediately in 2008 and give quality playing time after Jeremy and Daniel are gone.
Welcome to Bradley, CR!
Here was the previous information we had posted about Roberts--
