[mrcoachdude]

WOW What a class:

DS- Edwards 6'2
JP - Prosser 6'8
JW- Wilkins 6'9
SH - Harris 6'7
JE - Eastman 6'4
MK - Knezevic 6'8

Wow is that a group.........

Late, schmate....the only two other schools even mentioned, Kansas State and Rhode Island,
were extra, extra, extra late....even after the bell!!!!!!

BU lands TWO PJStar Players of the Year in one fell swoop!

And beat out BCS teams to get them. It's the first time in a long time that has happened (and I believe first time since the PJ Star started handing out those awards).

There's NO EXCUSES anymore. Facilities are coming. Talent is there. Fan support has ALWAYS been there. We've done all the 2nd rate tournaments known to man. It's time to win some titles and do some dancing. Anything less will be a disappointment. Let's do it NOW!

Not to split hairs, but aren't Wilkins and Harris in different classes?

But, to your point - This is a great class of 4 YEAR PLAYERS. This is how winning programs are built. I love it.

I think coachdude is saying they will all be the same Sr class together!

Oh, OK. That makes sense then. Well, they have a chance to be special. They really do.

Barring an early exit (to the NBA ) they are all in the same graduating class.... of 2013....

BB....I really believe that barring injuries to DSE the BCS offers would have been plenty....I think he missed a whole season of AAU ball!

Here is a list of schools from last fall...

I agree T. For years the knock on BU by the local BU haters was that they didn't recruit the local area players. They might have tried but couldn't get the job done. That has all changed. Great job Coach Les and staff.

And they all lived happily ever after......

Let's hope so. Bradley basketball is special to many, many people in this area and this recruiting class by Coach Les and his staff has really rekindled the interest again.

If there was ever a year to say NO JUCO'S... that would be the one. SIX of our scholarships in one class... we don't want to add anymore or the year after really scares me.

Of course... it's REALLY nice to be sitting here worrying about a potential high turnover, "rebuilding" year now... for year 2013-2014! That means we have some serious strength going in until then. And I have NO doubts that we will keep recruiting at this strong level
