I don't know who or what Nathan Sheer is and I'll say the same for every other team's freshmen but my own so who knows. The kid at Drake has the biggest scrapbook so I'll go with him but again I couldn't tell you his name or pick him out of a police lineup. (Que Drake fan talking about his massive muscles!!)

Can it be a redshirt freshman? If yes, Jon Ekey from Illinois State. From what I saw this summer (and yes, I know it doesn't always carry over to games) this kid is good. My best way of describing him would be a Koch brother with exceptional athleticism. He's skinny, but has very good length and jumping ability. He one of those players that's always disrupting passing lanes with his long reach. He also has a very good mid to long range jumper.

By that respect, I would imagine you would have to give Prosser at BU a look too. Not sure what the kid will end up doing, but I know the BU guys talked him up a big deal last year until they redshirted him.

If BU's Andrew Davis can emerge as a serviceable center, he would have the best chance to be the impact frosh for BU. I think Prosser could make an impact, I'm just not sure where his minutes are going to come from with Egolf and TB ahead of sharing time at the 4.

Rayvonte Rice for Drake. I like him alot. Still pissed Bradley didn't recruit him harder.

Anthony Davis? http://insider.espn.go.com/mens-college ... d%3d110861
Or Andrew Davis? http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketb ... drew-davis
:twisted:

I've met Andrew Davis. Very nice kid. Very intelligent. Makes Sticks look like Hulk Hogan.

I don't think any Bradley freshmen will be on the All-freshmen team basically because they probably won't get the needed playing time. A guy like Prosser might be very valuable to Bradley this year in a reserve role, but it's doubtful that he'll put up big numbers.

Yeah...Andrew Davis. (edited above) From all accounts, that's what I hear. I don't know much about his skill set truthfully, but the preview books and personal accounts all seem to indicate that he could make an impact.

I'm not saying he'd be enough to be on the all-Frosh team. And to show I'm not a hater, that's not because he isn't good; it's that the 5 is de-emphasized in BU's offense. But I do think if he can be a stabilizer, he can make an impact for Bradley and be a difference maker for the team so that it can keep teams honest.

What are expecting out of Thompson? If he could finally get going Bradley would be my pick for 2nd.
