While we're waiting for news as to who may get Bradley's open scholarships.....there's a new site you may want to know about -- see the bottom of this blog entry and find me personally to know more...
Interesting how more than 50% of the talk about Remy Abell on the Indiana boards is NEGATIVE. Guess they have bitter and unhappy people too....but many are saying they don't need another 2-guard, nor do they need to rob one from a mid-major like Bradley. Also they were really hoping hard that Tom Crean would use the scholarship on a solid point guard or a BIG man -- someone who can patrol the paint -- an area they will be very sorely lacking this coming year.
Hardly anyone expects Cody Zeller to be able to be an enforcer until he gets both experience at the college lavel and puts on a bunch of pounds in order to handle the Big Ten caliber pounding he'll get.
I suspect Remy will get far less playing time than Tom Crean undoubtedly promised -- and after a couple years of losing 20-25 games, he may want out of there.
I hope he will still remember the people at Bradley wanted him badly!
New Tennessee head coach Cuonzo Martin is cancelling their planned summer exhibition basketball tour to Italy -- obviously much to the dismay of the players...
Cuonzo already has other priorities and also says he would like to get to know the players and their potential better before being thrown in to a competitive situation...

Creighton's Greg McDermott just offered a scholarship to Michael Orris, 6-2 junior at Crete-Monee (IL) High School - Class of 2012...
Missouri State is also calling...and UIC has also offered.

Here's a picture and some clips from the premium story...
"Creighton extended a scholarship offer to 2012 Michael Orris of Crete-Monee High School in Illinois
The 6'2 guard averaged 10.2 points and 6.2 assists per game while putting up an impressive 2 to 1 assist-to-turnover margin last season in high school. Orris also hit 50 percent of his shots from the floor and nearly 40 percent from 3."

Then just one week after Top 40, 4-Star blue chip recruit Kevin Ware asked out of his LOI to Tennessee and then reverballed to Central Florida...
now Ware is reneging his Central Florida verbal and reopening his recruitment -- obviously someone must have called and offered more!!!
