As I had hinted, in a couple different get-togethers (the chat and the BSS event over the weekend), we had the chance to hear opinions from numerous people affiliated with BU and the team, and unanimously there was high and repeated praise for the message board and the direction it has taken. Specifically, the editing and even banning of the hostile and negative element. Every other message board I have seen that allows the flaming and attacks, especially the personal antagonism and attacks, and attacks against the team and personnel, dies an ugly death.
You don't have to look very far to find a couple boards that used to be busy (PJ, VT, etc..) but are DOA and essentially uninhabited....or inhabited only by the vilest of self-righteous haters. Sorry, that's the way it is...but BradleyFans will never become like that. So we'll continue to keep it positive, because the only people we feel obligated to are the people at BU who want it that way and like it (an understatement) that way. THEY are the ones we seek to please...not the uninvited negative element.
Since I know some of the haters and negative element read this blog, now we know they have learned why they've been booted from BradleyFans...but it still irks them. Maybe some day someone will tell me why some people are such bitter misanthropes that they enjoy being negative 100% of the time, and even lust to go where people are positive and attack them to try to spoil their day as well.
BTW-- ask yourself why the chat went so well when the negative nellies are absent? There was tremendous involvement by dozens of enthusiastic fans...so it'll surely happen again!
Misery loves company, I guess......take 'em down into the pits so you won't be alone, huh??
So - be forewarned, the board works way better without you, so it is an easy decision to boot the element that turns every discussion negative.

Here's a short quote from a report on the internet about a kid BU is looking at..
"Kennis White, 2010 SF, has offers from Bradley, Indiana State and Drake with interest from Evansville. San Jose also offered."

Let's hope we are still on the top of Jacob Williams' list...he definitely has one of the top AAU guys guiding him!!

F/U on Jershon Cobb....as with a lot of the kids...they are indeed easily inflluenced by the ones around them...especially the middle-men and AAU coaches.
One report says Jershon chose Northwestern...a school with exactly the opposite attributes of what he had said he was looking for..because his AAU coach guided him there....some AAU guys love to be able to brag they had a kid go "Big Ten".
Hmm....time will tell if it's what's best........
