What about our Freshmen?

My prospectus for next year: (subject to change before November :))

DSE - 20 mpg, 10 ppg, 38% 3-pt. shots, 70% free throws
JE - 12 mpg, 6 ppg, 38% 3-pt. shots, 75% free throws
MK - 7 mpg, ??? on everything else
 
This is the best class I've seen here in a while I believe. They all already look like they have good potential and can contribute. As I said before DSE and JE are gona be a great backcourt someday.

With everyone we have next year I have no idea how JL is going to arrange the lineup or get everyone minutes even IF someone leaves. Maybe one of the freshman should redshirt next year? It is so exciting to think about it, I've already toyed with potential lineups in my head, but I'll save that for offseason threads. The following couple years look to be very good too! If everyone thing goes well and we get a servicable big the next few years could be very very special!!

DSE, JE, MK, and JP (from what I've heard on here) are all likable guys and all have a great basketball future for BU and I can't wait to watch it unfold!
 
JP can be the 5 we are looking for. He has the quickness, jumping ability, and passing ability. He can also finish around the rim. Hopefully he will take the weight room seriously and understand that bigger is better.
 
Remember that JE injured his shoulder last summer and had to take time off. I'm sure his strength, conditioning and shooting touch were nowhere near where it once was. All seem to be coming back now as he does seem to have more confidence in both his outside shot and free throws. I suspect we'll see the real Jake Eastman next year. :)
 
I think what separates this freshman class from others recently is their competitiveness - not sure if JP is like that yet. Seems kinda' reserved, but most guys are just sitting on the bench waiting for their time to shine.
I think that DSE and JE are desiring to be champions and have the willingness to work for it.

Maybe I was naive, but I though that no freshman would see much P.T. this season other than when BU put up big leads in the 2nd half. Unfortunately, we haven't had a lot of big leads, and when we have, we tend to blow them.
I think JE and DSE make the guys around them better with their attitude and effort.
 
Dyricus has been the star of the freshman class this season, although I didn't see it that way in the early part of the season. DSE just has that "something" at PG that makes him invaluable. If he further develops the jump shot that he has been showing of late, he will be a pain to the MVC and any non-con we play over the next three years.

With Jake, I don't know if he's not going to get out of the mix somewhere along the line. He does have a nose for the boards, but he seems to not be looking for his game offensively. Of course, I would like to see him at a 2 and not playing the 4 to see what he can really do.

Milos has been the biggest mistake that the coaching staff has made this season. He has the best jump shot on the team and when he's on, he is unstoppable. His size would be effective on the boards and, with time on the floor, his defense will come along. His lack of time off the bench this year has been one of the big errors that the coaching staff has made, especially during the MVC battle.

With Jordan, all we have are the hopes that his redshirt year will make him a significant force come next season.
 
I have a feeling that DSE will make a difference on Friday.
As SM and AW are eager to make up for their sub-par performances Sat., I'm pretty sure DSE wants to do the same.

I believe we will have to play a hard brand of D to win. If anyone says the reffs cannot make a difference in games I'm stating right now if the reffs start calling the game like a girls game we lose. I'm betting we will come out with a high defensive intensity that can only be crushed by a game being dictated by the zebras.
