Darian is a great kid, one of the nicest I can remember talking to.
However, I think he would be fighting for the spot as a 5th or 6th guard, and think his contribution would be minimal. He is a 5'9ish SG who has below average speed, can't catch and shoot, his shot mechanics take about twice as long as it should to get him to the release point, making shots easily blockable, and isn't a good ballhandler or play maker.
That said, he is a fundamental player, average defender, and I bet he will be good at USD where the expectations are currently quite low.

I agree that Darian was a great kid. He is playing point guard for a really bad team. USDs only win (they are 1-4) was against a bad D3 team Occidental College.
He might have helped BU a little, but I doubt he could have played point guard for Bradley.
