Braves lose 73-68

how can you say this? we can't run AW or SM through mutiple screens or blah blah and then have the other as plan B....

CONTROL is the word to describe what I want. They were rushed and disorganized. That has to lessen our chances.

Well I disagree. They got open looks and just didn't hit them. Organized unorganized whatever, they got open 3s. They weren't really rushed either, they had time to shoot. Plus AT was also a pretty hyped recruit, just hasn't lived up to it yet.
 
Arggghhh... I think what I'm most frustrated about is that we rebounded so well, and it's been so bad in the past. Yet we still lose. Off to drink away the pain. Maybe I'll see some Braves there.

ahh well besides that he mave have been hyped.....he obviously is ready to play when we need a 5. so i call that a fail...

Never seen him play a minute of D-1 Ball, and I'm guessing not much HS, but you're ready to call him a fail. Your tantamount to a basketball god... Can you select the players in HS we should recruit? What JUCO's should we be looking at? Also, can you make it so Bradley has unlimited Budget, Exposure, and Prominence?

:lol:hahaha exactly what I was thinking

OK props if JW comes....but Bradley hasn't had a hyped recruit forever. I don't know how POB and DG were seen coming out of HS.

That's just not the case, both AT and JP are big time hype recruits on a national level for a program like Bradley. AT hasn't worked out for us, and it's almost certain he won't at this point, but JP could still be all he was represented to us to be. If I recall correctly, POB blew up after he signed, and DG was not recruited by anyone really.

Amen....no excuse for this.

Could it be no assistant coach helps during the game?? Watch them at timeouts...they watch the contests and giveaways the whole time.

Maybe they should stop the contests and givaways during the timeouts anyway.
 
Ah, how things change. Remember when the Prosser redshirt was an indication of strength and depth that everyone was happy about? It certainly hasn't worked out like Les planned, obviously, but you don't waste the redshirt because you have three terrible home losses. It has absolutely no relationship to Prosser being legitimately 4-star or not, ready or not. None of us (except for maybe mrcoachdude) have the information, yet, to know what kind of D1 player JP will be.
 
Future Walk-On said:
wow gentlemen.

I call it a fail that a FOUR STAR HYPED RECRUIT has to redshirt at Bradley...when we need a 5.

i have not given up on him at all. I'm just saying it is just another recruit is all

Except he didn't have to, he did to better himself even more. Most consider him a 4 anyway, but probably either in our system. And I don't get how he is just another recruit. He is still a hyped recruit.....not everyone just steps in John Wall style and does great, it is about potential and obviously people think he has it. I don't call it a fail

Jordan Prosser was a 4-star recruit....
Click to expand...

He was a 4-star recruit..."was" is the operative word there...He had been dropped to a 3-star guy by rivals.com and a 2-star guy on scout.com long before he signed with BU.
He will be what he will be...who knows what that is...but he was not a 4-star recruit when he signed with BU. More like a 2 and a half...

3-star on Rivals.com

2-star on scout.com

I guess I am spoiled. I just have the opinion the a majority of 4 stars can make an immediate difference at a team lacking bigs especially at the level of BU. I wish he had felt he was ready i guess??

i was told JP was a four...rivals says 3
Click to expand...

and scout has him as a 2-star...
He was a 4-star early in his HS career...He had some legitimate big boys looking at him as a Frosh and Soph....but he fell off a bit his next two years and so did his recruiting rankings along with the interest from most of the BCS schools by the time he signed with BU.
Not saying he can't be good, great, whatever...Just saying it is not correct to say he is a 'prized, 4-star recruit'.
 
Actually the crowd was great but every stinkin time, and I mean every stinkin time that the crowd had reason to stand, then Creighton would go on to nail yet another wide wide wide open 3.

Half of Creighton's shots were 3's. Now why would a team shoot so many 3's when they are the worst in the league so far and on the road? Why you ask, well it's because the defenders were getting burned time and time again on man to man, so Les had to use zone a bunch and that in turn led to so many wide open 3's.

Yeah the ref's made a few questionable calls, blah blah blah but Creighton was a 1-9 team on the road and the worst 3 point shooting team in the league. A few bad calls by the refs didn't factor a whole lot in this loss.

But, it is what it is. They are playing us like the Bradley teams the last few years.... you live by the 3, you die by the 3. It's pretty clear that opposing teams have seen that weakness in our D and repeatedly chuck up 30+ 3 point attempts on us.

A 9-9 or 8-10 finish is in the books for this season, i'm ready for the MVC tourney to start and maybe some luck for BU.

Crowd was okay in the second half I thought. First half was quiet, but I think everyone was shellshocked by the 1/13 start or whatever it was.
