BU Recruit Followup

[Da Coach]

Rivals reports that a kid named Patrick Richard is listed as a Bradley recruit. He committed several weeks ago to McNeese State, so Bradley is no longer recruiting him..
He is a class of 2008 kid from Lafayette, Louisiana, and is a 6'4" wing player.

Here are a handful of recruits, a couple of whom BU may have been interested in at one time....Here is a little followup on how they are doing.........

Dodie Dunson (dropped out at Iowa State, now at Vincennes JC) 9ppg, 38% FG, 32% -pt%, 3 rpg, 3 apg
Brandon Dunson...quit at Tenn-Chatt...transf to SIUE, not playing
Manual Cass, dismissed from UTEP, played 13 gm ...4ppg, 2 rpg
Demetrius Young (from Yuba) 7ppg, 8rpg for 4-17 Stony Brook
Josh Tabb...at U. Tennessee...1.7ppg, 2 rpg...not playing much at all now
Blake Mishler...quit at ETSU now at ISU
Justin Bocot...redshirting
Justin Dehm..stats have fallen off..10.5ppg, 1.8 apg for 4-18 Furman
Shang Ping...playing time falling way off, 3.6ppg, 1.6 rpg 11mpg

Except for the rebs Young might have been giving us, I see nothing there that I feel we missed out on....

I caught some of the Nebraska-Colorado game online, and for the first time in numerous games, Shang Ping got in the game and played.
Nebraska has struggled at times this year but Colorado is really bad, and the Huskers blew out to a 20 point lead early and cruised easily clearing the benches for lots of garbage minutes.
Ping played 7 minutes, didn't get a shot, didn't get a rebound, missed two FT's badly and picked up two fouls and had a turnover.
He isn't likely to get much playing time again and maybe not even next year with recent performances like this, so it'll be interesting to see how it unfolds.

..Cassin Diggs was also on BU's radar, and ended up at Pitt.....

Cassin Diggs couldn't find another DI that fit, so he ended up at Bowie State, where he was teamed up with ex-Tennessee Volunteer Duke Crews...
but Duke has since been booted from the team (as he was for drugs - by Bruce Pearl - at Tennessee) but Diggs is still there, avg. 10.4 ppg, 5.6 rpg
Diggs is just another example of a kid aiming too high, wasting years not playing them ending up somewhere obscure, kinda like DeAaron Williams & others.
