The last scholarship

I guess my point is that we really don't know how good MO is? We really haven't seen MO. I think that JP will contribute this year and dare I say we can go big with JP and either AD or WE in the lineup at the same time.

I agree with you about JP contributing this year and Benni, you are a man after my heart with playing BIG:D
 
MO fits the description of the player I am looking for. Strong inside player, I don't care if he is really tall (7') We need a strong inside defender and rebounder. He may not be the guy, but I think he would be. I will admit I thought Rashad Austin would be that guy, but I want a strong inside player.
 
Does anybody feel that AT is gonna leave?

No, just my feeling and I'm sure he does not want to give up a year to transfer. His only alternative would be going to a lower division. If you can't crack playing time at the 4-5 you have no one to blame but yourself. Playing time was there to be had.
 
I think the coaching staff has a tough decision to make. If they really believe MO will be a "player" in the Vally as a big from a skills standpoint.. you have to take him.

I only know what I've read here about him. But he is older and more physically mature than the other bigs on the team. From that aspect he should be more ready to step in right away and contribute.

Everything I have read about the Illinois class of 2011 calls it very talented & deep.. but thin when it comes to bigs. That adds more value to MO in my estimation.. fewer bigs to go around next year and more wings and guards to go after.

But if the coaches think MO is just a guy with size and minimal skills.. then now is the time you try and address the upcoming need for that athletic 6'5" or a shooting wing player.
 
If BU still has an opportunity for MO to come to Bradley, I think we have to get him. Bradley can never have too many big's. I think we all know what to expect from TB each game, where as the rest of the frontcourt is unproven so far (excluding AW). Yes, WE will/should start but is he playing as a 4 or 5 ?. That will determine his production each game. I think WE would excel as a 4, hope to find out someday...That leaves AT,MK,JP and AD ( without MO ), as the remaining frontcourt players and none have any or much playing experience coming into next season, so the more big men BU can get, the better I think. If JL does not get another big, then I would like to see a sharp shooter guard come in for the last scholarship this year.
