New Bradley commit- 6'9" Xzavier Taylor

This is a great catch for Bradley this late in the period. Chin strikes again. This should shut some people up.
 
Reynolds article says 225.....I like that a lot better! :D

Mqybe this will open up more Chicago kids to consider BU with Taylor and Shaw next season? :idea:

Excellent news! I'm really glad we got a big man. Can he contribute right away?

If JS, OG, AB, and an improved WL can address our three point shooting and AF and KB can be our point guards, our weaknesses will look a lot less weak (three point shooting, point guard play, and big man play)
 
How much can each of these post players to contribute for us next year?

I'm hoping something like this with a few more of JP's minutes going to CB if he still doesn't step up this year:

4: TP - 25, CB - 10, AB - 5 (Will also play the 3 some)
5: JP - 20, XT - 15, CB - 5, NW - Not sure he will play much

Where is Mike Shaw from? Ka'Darryl Bell is from?

Shaw did not come to Bradley from Chicago - he was recruited from Chicago to U of I & is now transferring from Champaign

Ka'Darryl Bell is from Oak Park-River Forest and not from Chicago - not part of the Chicago Public school system

people will always talk -but it'll be a while before we can tell if this is a key part of Bradley's future success....I hope so..



and thanks Da Coach for always keeping the BU fan base informed - as always you scooped the entire rest of the news sources by hours on what you knew...

Gerry I sure hope so . Hope this is just the start of something really big ,us getting Public league kids. Not really sure why or what it matters who had the scoop first but I guess it does to some people. I really don't care who had it first I'm just glad BU "got him first".Saw him up close at the state Tourney and really think he can be special before he leaves BU. I have said all along to have faith in Geno. Most have bought in and the rest I assume will jump back on when we get this thing rolling in the direction Geno has us going. Having him and Shaw together for two years is going to make our inside game so much better than we've had for years. Can't wait for practice to begin. Does anyone know if we're done or still may be recruiting for this fall?
 
This is the best news for Bradley basketball I have heard for some time. It helps make me more hopeful for next season and the future.

This is very good news. Can we say the fallout is over?

Yeah, right. :) Maybe this and a few more wins against anyone but 300+ RPI teams, and a couple fewer 30-point blowouts. Besides, I thought the fallout already ended when we signed Mike Tucker? 8)
 
I think he will play more right away than some think. TP and Pross get the start, but this young man should see some minutes. The signing of this guy will very likely be the funeral for NW.
