All of a sudden - it's unheard of to talk about recruiting ...

Odd how nobody's allowed to have the tiniest bit of concern, question, or anxiety about recruiting... I seem to recall this exact same stuff every single fall and nobody went "ballistic" in past years except the ones whining about BU doing poorly in recruiting................................. in 2011- lots of people were worried that we got late start and didn't sign anyone who was very highly rated. But that was blamed on the prior coach because you could hardly blame the new guy if he'd only had 6-7 months leg time................................................ in 2010 - plenty of people wondered if Sean Harris would even sign his LOI or if he did whether he'd make it here or be any good anyway.. and lots of anxiety centered on whether we'd fill all the open scholarships or have another John Wilkins situation http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread.php?t=16592 ...then there was the usual anxiety and fretting because we didn't land anyone considered a "difference maker".............................................. in 2009 (fall) - it was obvious we had lost Wilkins, and we were closely losing other good recruits - [url]http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread.php?t=9913[/url] ...plus we lost DJO to Marquette.... ...there were posts that went on and on with people threatening to jump off the ledges!!..................................................................................... fall of 2008 - Bradley was getting ripped for too many juco kids anxiety galore and people freaking out!! - http://www.pjstar.com/sports/x518440851/Reynolds-Too-many-jucos-for-Bradley ....................... fall of 2007 - you don't remember this year?? This was when all our local writers were ripping into BU for how badly they had recruiting given the boost we should have had from the Sweet Sixteen - and instead Bradley stuck themselves with "Seven D-I Virgins" -- KW carried this line of bitc*ing on for the better part of a couple years!......................................... fall of 2006 - this was the year everyone just about jumped ship because we lost POB and didn't get anyone to replace him, Cellus, or the rest! ...maybe nobody else remembers all the whining and gnashing of teeth but I sure do...
