10 questions surrounding the team this year

[tornado]

I really enjoyed putting this together, because there are a lot of questions going into the season, but the Braves seem to have a lot of answers!

we're only 4 games into the season and a couple quesitons are already answered...

#1 - yes AW is healthy and he's starting..

#2 - and with Dodie out of the lineup, we no longer have the glut of guards that caused so much
consternation about where we'd get all the playing time from.

#4 - will any freshman contribute? Two already have and have helped win games!

#5 - Joe, you sounded very doubtful that Taylor Brown would score points....
your statement was...
"Taylor Brown showed the ability to score in the post during the Brazil
tournament, and while it isn't likely due to the depth of the bigs in the
league, he could be a surprisingly consistent source of points."
I think TB will be our most consistent scorer...and rebounder as well...
so that takes care of question #6 as well.

#9 - TB will be the most improved in the whole league...although we saw the talent there last year, but TB just didn't get a lot of minutes.

Best Bradley Coach

Best Bradley Coach

Clearly, Chuck Orsborn was the best coach Bradley ever had. Check his W- L record when we played against some of the best teams in the nation and his record in the old NIT when it was about as tough as the NCAAs.

He and I didn't always get along very well but I respect his superb coaching ability.

The only guy to even come close to Orsborn was my old friend, Dick Versace who was also a great coach and teacher of the game, a super motivator, and a recruiter par excellence! If Dick hadn't been undercut by the Pres. at that time and stayed at BU, we would have eventually been a final four team IMO.

Sure have to agree with you on Dick Versace. I'm sure other coaches could have turned the program around, but he was the one Fergie hired. With the talent he was left, he did a tremendous job. His flair was just what Bradley needed at the time.
