Maybe academics was a big part of his decision. I know BU is now in the Patriot Leg, and is very good academic school. If so the kid is thinking long term and not short term. lol

With Boston he gets a good school and a big city. Boston is a great city and if we had to lose him, I'm glad he made the choice he did.

Sometimes I wish I had stayed. Oh well

I'm sure JO could have gone to a much better academic school than BU if it meant that much to him. He'll have no coach yelling at him at BU, and less then 1,000 people at his home games. His grass is greener

I doubt kids find 4000 present fans to be that mind blowing

One thing about the 1000 fans that come to see BU hoop - they all want to be there even though there are other options. Not so in smallbany!

By no means am I saying the Siena fans aren't great, it's a good stomp sphere at times. I just think I'm more hesitant than others to say that our attendance "figures" have that much of an impact for recruiting as some suggest.

Attendance has a major influence on recruiting

Ask the kids at St. Peters if they'd rather play in our gym, or theirs. Not thinking that matters in recruiting is as ignorant a statement as I've seen out here.

And why are you under the impression the 980 fans they drew each game are, "rabid?" lol ps--our attendance was 5700 (not 4000), and that was with some HORRIBLE weather dates.

Only time it was that low was few bad weather dates - very few games had under 5k- and yes I was at every game- very few of you guessed attendance right- opening up the end zones threw most of you for a loop.
