Two things caught my eye in this article - 1) Another recruit says he's coming to BU because they were on him the longest. Say's alot about the coaching staff's eye for talent and continuity.

2) "we're probably done..." ??? - Wasn't sure what to make of that except maybe saying, we're done unless DW doesn't qualify.

1) I took a couple of the other quotes to show this kid will fit in here......."He's a very unselfish kid, which is probably his biggest fault"......."at his size those are conferences he can walk right in and play (the post). He was smart to make that decision"......."He's a very loyal kid".

2) I think at the point we would know for sure if DW doesn't qualify, I would rather pocket that scholarship for 2008. Personally, I'd rather not think about him not qualifying anymore and look forward to seeing him on the CA floor in front of sold-out crowds.

Yeah, I'm also no longer interested in speculating on DW's status. He's a player I'm really excited about and I hope he makes it. If he doesn't let's just roll that scholarship over to 08. I want all 13 players on the roster, but if 12 is all we have, I think we'll be fine.
