2009 BU commitment- Jordan Prosser

Speaking of Bradley, we believe that their long pursuit of Jordan Prosser is paying off. Bradley was Prosser??™s first offer way back during his freshman year. Since then Prosser has gained around a dozen high major offers. However, because of Prosser??™s decision to wait, many of those offers are no longer standing as they have been filled by other players and it appears that his short list is now limited. Bradley and Iowa appear to be the two schools that are in front for his services and we think in the end, he will be playing for Coach Les.

Just one site's opinion but they've proven in the past to be very trustworthy.
 
That would be great. I would love to have Prosser on the team in the future. Hopefully being close to home won't be a detriment to his further recruitment. Most kids like to get away from home for college.
 
This would be a tremendous coup for us. If we can start keeping the "next level" local talent at home, that would be great! Stay home Jordan!
 
Wow. Well, I said that there was no chance that Prosser ended up at BU, but that article makes me think that we might have a puncher's chance. We are still going head-to-head with a Big 10 team, and those usually don't go well for MVC teams. But, I don't think it's a stretch to say that our program is in MUCH better shape that Iowa's right now, and could offer more immediate opportunities for personal and team success. Hopefully Jordan looks at the success that 'Cellus, DA, JC, and Ruff have had, and follow in their footsteps.
 
This would be a super get for this program...It would give us some quality depth in the front court for the next five years, and allow the recruiting focus to turn back to the guard and wing positions...which should be easier spots to fill with quality players at this level...
I'd absolutely love to see a Prosser commit to BU followed closely by a Marshall Henderson commit...that would be sweet.
 
It would be great for Jordan and for all the Eureka fans that could come watch him play in Peoria like the Pekin fans were able to for JC; BU has always been a good place for local talent and us fans appreciate good players a lot more then most places.

Yeah I agree....nab JP and get back to pg's and wings. Hard to imagine but thats what we will need even if it seems like thats all we have recrutied lately.
 
This is good news, I too thought we didn't have a chance with him after the high-major offers started rolling in. It'd be nice to see him stay home in Central IL!
 
Adding Prosser would be great! The frontcourt would look like this next season:

Anthony Thompson 6'10'' So.
Will Egolf 6'9'' Jr.
Jordan Prosser 6'8'' Fr.
Taylor Brown 6'7'' So.

With Sean Harris coming the next season as a sophomore, Bradley would be set in the frontcourt for the next couple years.

Corpus Christi's beach is not too appealing...
Lots of rocks, big rocks, little sand, and generally hard waves that often bring in petroleum debris and slime.

Ive been to Corpus many times and the only issue is the large amount of sea weed. The beaches near Port Aransas or near the Island are wonderful. The CC campus isnt great but it sits about two blocks from the Gulf and their new arena is pretty decent. The beaches in Corpus are a heck of a lot nicer then the ones in Galveston.
 
Most of Texas A&M CC's success in recruiting Illinois is because of Assistant Coach Billy Garrett's past familiarity with this area. He is an Illinois State grad (he played football, not basketball), and coached high school basketball at Providence St. Mel in the Chicago area before getting several college jobs, and eventually a job under Steve Alford at Iowa where he did a lot of recruiting in Illinois.

They already have several Chicago area kids on their roster--

If i'm not mistaken I believe Milos has more of the European slasher type of game then can play down on the block but also hit the outside humper including 3's. I haven't read to much about Proser but from what I can remember he is a monster down on the block and like to stay down there and doesn't shoot the 3's.
 
To me it sounds like both are in the mold of Dane Watts or Matt Shaw, a little inside/outside type guys. We have not had a guy like this on our team the last couple of years, which we could have used. You could argue Sommerville was like this, although he was more of 3 than a post player. I say get them both even if they are similar as I think having guys some bigs that can step out and hit the 3 would be nice to have.

I'm with Maj. Over the past couple of years, the biggest hole on this roster has been the lack of quality size and depth up front. While it might be a 'guards' game, BU has never lacked quality guards since Jim Les took over, and arguably even before he took over. The bigger we are, and the more quality big bodies we get, the better our chances for competing for league titles. And on a larger scale, the better our chances for competing with the traditionally bigger, stronger BCS teams in the postseason.
