Welcome to MU. Think he surprises Scoopers.

Good lookin' neck, hey?

A lot of random scoopers didn't think Bailey would actually make it to MU after going on his mission. Just a lot of baseless speculation.

Baseless speculation? On Scoop? Crazy.

And when? i'll need a hostage style photo with him holding today's MSJ before I believe he's in MKE

Welcome, Brendan.
I've got to admit, to me he seems like a black box. I just don't know what to expect. Donj't know what kind of game he had in HS, and all the minutes threads kind of leave him out. He's a mature freshman, and maybe he'll be one of the bigger surprises this season.

You never know for sure how a recruit will do.....especially after 2 years off....but we beat out Michigan and Gonzaga for him.......and Arizona offered.
Those are some good talent evaluators that wanted the kid.
-
Proof of life, good lets get on with it. I like when a new recruit shows up for the summer!

Excellent photoshop job by MUBB

Is he in a boot yet?

I'll gladly accept him being "only" as good as his dad was!

No doubt Wojo is considering some 'noon ball' when Thurl is in town visiting. ;D

I have never doubted the ability. The rust and the completely different body from when he last played are going to take time.
-
Clearly mom helped set up his room. Those pillows will not be displayed in such a presentable way until her next trip to town. ;)

When I was at MU, I had one pillow that was about 3" thick. In fact for junior and senior year all I had was a mattress on the floor, not even a bed frame.
Seems crazy now but no big deal then

Completely different body? That could be a problem.

You've seen Face/Off right? You never know.

I ran into Brendan and his mother as they were on their way to campus. A great kid and he definitely has grown physically. He said he has been working hard the last month or so and is eager to start school and practice.
Brendan is going to be a very strong player for MU. He is in an ideal position right now as he can work his way into the lineup without the pressure of immediate need and great expectations.

Eye red dat book bye Charles Dickens two, hey?

Koby McEwen also arrived on campus today.

Amazing what one puts up with. Made me recall my kid's setup for the 3 week gap period between dorm and own apartment on June 1. He and several friends were guests of an upperclassman in Library Hill. His space: a corner floor spot in a bedroom with 2 others, sleeping bag on the floor.

Hoping it doesnt happen any more, but freshman year in mccormick MU overbooked the freshman class?? And each lounge on every floir had about a dozen bunk beds and 24 or so new freshman were living out of the lounges. Not sure i would be real happy if my child was set up like that. Took about half the senester with kids going home from other rooms or whatever the attrition was but like i said a number of those kids lived out of their suitcases in bunkbeds fir half a senester or so.

Re: Brendan's haircut
I'm going to need a photo of him and Markus each at the free throw line to to give them this treatment:

Since you saw him live how you assess neck status

What do you mean he has grown physically? Is he now taller than 6'8"?

Where is Chardonay?

Since the time we he signed NLI. Was a bean pole then. Looks about 20 pounds bigger and definitely every inch of 6-8 if not 6-9.

With his cousin Sauvignon Blanc

Watching how composed the LDS players returning from missions to play for Utah State against us in Boise a few years back - I believe the upside is great.

He was 6'7" 170 when he signed. MU lists him as 6'8" 190 on their roster now.

Actually, the MU 11/11/15 release on Bailey's signing had him at 6'8" and 190. Guess they just used the old number for the current roster. His measurements are probably different now?

I was sourcing this Bleacher Report article. I guess he grew an inch and added 20 pounds in a month;)

Well, he quoted many experts in the article and his source for the body stats was, oh wait...

I am sure we will here sooner than later from somebody who will see him play with the other players on campus about Brendan.

Hope it's true that he has added twenty pounds and in China to make him 6'9" and 210.

I wouldn't bet the farm on the accuracy of any height stat released by a university. Keep in mind that Markus is listed at 5'11".

It'd be nice if he grew 4 inches this summer

I think people are making way to big of a deal regarding the two year layoff. I'd be surprised if he didn't get some work in during those two years, but even if he didn't, it isn't like the arrived at campus losing a lot of weight or gaining a ton. Games don't start for 5+ months. That is a lot of time for a 20 years old playing everyday and working out everyday with veterans.
Not having seen him play, I don't know how good he is, but he is ranked well into the top 100 by almost all services, has solid all around stats (not just PPG), so he seems to have more than just an offensive game. He will have his timing back and basketball skills by November/December.
I can see lineups without a true center where a guy like Bailey and Joey play together - stretch the floor a bit and go up-temp to open up shots for Markus. We should still be able to outscore most teams.

I agree with this.
"Rust" is overrated (and, according to Neil Young, it also never sleeps). He will have logged thousands of minutes on the basketball court by November.

Some really good thoroughbreds didn't race as 2 year-olds. Apollo, Curlin, Just(ify ) to name a few.
