uw picks sharpshooter to replace blue, mills to colorado

[wyzgy]

ben brust-a 6'2" sniper from mundelein scored 40 or more 4 times, avg'd 24 fills the gap left by our vander.  looks pretty intriguing.  then from our own backyard-ben(don't call me mbao) mills signed with colorado-i believe he would have been a real good back-up.  eating up 10 minutes per game for gardener.  these 7-footers don't grow on trees ya know-yeah he played against a bunch of 6' - 6'5"" ers but could move pretty well and didn't look like he was going to hurt himself too much-a little bit of a project, but expectations wouldn't be all big E or anything

Brust is a good player.  He will be a nice replacement for the Jason Bohannon type role.  The only issue is that he's a little small.

Mills would not be a good addition at MU.

Brust replaced Markolf who was BOned to open a scholarship for a guard.

Yep.  If people think that this was all coincidence, they are fooling themselves. 

[Mr. Nielsen]

ESPN gave Brust a good rating.

Ben Mills rating was updated in March and is still not at a Big East level player. The guy is way to small. Good luck to him at Colorado, landing at a Big 12 school.

Honestly between this guy and Duje Dukan, Bo put together a nice class after Blue decommited.  Two guys who play high level ball in suburban Chicago who put together solid senior years.  Anderson is clearly the worst of the bunch.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Anderson is the best player out of the bunch, as the rankings go.

Trust me...it won't turn out that way.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Trust me...it won't turn out that way.

Your right, I'm thinking the same thing. I was just going off of ESPN ranking.

[Silky]

Smart move by Coach Ryan to push the Texas kid out the door and get a guard in there the caliber of Brust.  They really needed a guard and it was good for them and lucky the big guy was willing to take an academic scholarship to leave.

[94Warrior]

Anybody else think that if Iowa had to do it all over again, they would not have given Brust an unconditional release?
I assume they didn't think they needed to exclude other Big Ten teams because there was a rule in place to prevent him from signing with anyone else in conference.  Lesson learned I guess.

Lucky for Bucky!
