2008 BU commitment- Taylor Brown

[dogsrus]

Great find dogs. If you would have driven to the watering hole I am at, it would have been a long drive.

Speaking of "long drives" when are ya do home? We have some golfing to do....need to show ya my new game, SLOWLY rounding into form after some early struggles this season with a new swing. There calling me "Smiling Bob" with my new swing of confidence......


I like this signing also.....I really think his dad will be a positive influence and looks like he has the kid working hard and understanding what it takes to succeed.

dogs....you are too funny man I return next friday, but I am not ready to see your new swing of confidence I will call you and O&B74 to set something up.

wiley coyote told me once that if you want to get better you have to keep improving your recruiting...I think the staff is doing this.

So what does leave for open scholies for next year? 2 or 3 if Milos signs?

[mexicobufan]

We should have three left?

I hope once this kid is in town we can get a report from someone that might get a chance to see him play with the Bradley team?

I could hear your laugh when you read it all the way "up" here.....


Gone are TW, SS, RA, DC........Milos gets 1. Should leave 3.

[Da Coach]

You are right that 4 scholarships open for 2009- TW, SS, RA, and DC.
One is slated for Milos Knezevic, and 3 are available. Sean Harris won't be using a scholarship until 2010.

Check out the scholarship grid, which shaunguth will surely be updating for Tyler Brown soon--

I think Milos would be for next year and Sean will be down the road because of his 2 yr. comittment. I get confused easily. With who is leaving it looks like a big is what is needed.........another POB! The way this is going the team will have to get hotel rooms with much longer beds.

Maybe this signing will get us to schedule a 2 for 1 with Georgia Tech. OOPS, maybe they won't play us since we beat them the last time

Thanks Da Coach.

Awesome. Welcome to BU, Taylor!

[SFP]

TB we all welcome you to BU and the Hilltop. I also went to BU without seeing the campus although it was in the 80s. What you will see besides all the constructions is a campus and a BU community that is very open and warm. The mid-west have the most caring giving people in our country and Bradley seems to attract their fair share. You should have 4 very productive years on the hard court and the class room.

[amckillip]

Is the Chicago Hoops article mistaken when it says he attended JUCO last year but did not play? I'd actually like that better than being home schooled and additional year.

[Da Coach]

It's also mentioned by Dave Reynolds in his column (4th paragraph)--

http://www.pjstar.com/sports/x1542091072/6-7-swingman-gets-final-BU-scholarship

Actually he enrolled at Bevill State CC in Alabama, but apparently dropped out or never attended and returned home to train after his injury.

Taylor Brown enrolled at Bevill State (Ala.) Community College out of high school. He was injured last fall before the team??™s season began and decided to return home.
"I decided to redshirt him and train him here at home," said the elder Brown. "I know talent when I see it, and he??™s made a tremendous turnaround from last year to this year (adding an inch and 10 pounds). He has nothing but upside. He reminds me of a Scottie Pippen type who plays more like a (power forward) ??” a slasher who rebounds and blocks shots well."

Welcome aboard Taylor!!!
Bradley will reap many benefits from landing a player from a high profile Atlanta family.
Taylor you made a very smart decision when you selected Bradley.
