That kills me. This board is has the mentality that once something gets discussed it gets banished forever...

He just started playing for Murray State and he played here - if we want to rehash - so be it.

Don't look now, but Murray State is 13-0 in conference play and 22-3 overall with an RPI of 90.

BJ is averaging 10.4 ppg, 2.6 rpg, and 3.6 apg.

On a side note they have 6 players averaging at least 10.0 points per game.

meh, he's really not the kind of player we're missing right now.

BJ is a really good player. There are so many what-if's with this basketball program from the past few years. Imagine BJ Jenkins, Nick Barbour, Kyle Ohman, Antwan Burrus, and Austin Smith as this year's starting five. That's good stuff. And yes, I think BJ would start over Jesse at the 1, I think he'd run the point better, and get the same rebounds Jesse does. But none of this matters.

If Murray State makes the NCAA's, they're the team I will root for harder than any other, except for the off chance that we make it, too. BJ's a good kid, and a great player, and like always I've wished him nothing but the best. Just wish his best was with "Liberty" across his chest.

I think regardless of What-if's, Brolin wouldn't be here, and happy/focused enough to be a starter. If he could have been, then I agree with you.

And I'd rather have Nick Barbour. Better shooter, fits better into an offense.

Our former coach was hell bent on Seth. No way Nick would have ever suited up for us.

And you can't say "regardless of What-If's". This is a what-if game.

My point is, in my opinion, the only "What-if" that changes Brolin is "What if he really wanted to be at LU and be a part of the team", and that's changing who he is. If we go that far, I say "what if John Wall wanted to be a Aviation Missions major and LU was his first choice?"

Same with BJ.

Same with Seth.

Eh, I guess. I dunno, I just think the circumstances were different for B, but I might be wrong. Even still, I don't know if he's a starting 4, and I don't know if he's better than Antwan, long term.

No doubt that BJ Jenkins is a quality Division I player, I think he would've been great had he staye here and he is proving to be great for the Racers. However, just the culture of LU and BJ's personality was not the best pairing, which does not say that BJ is a bad person or unchristian b/c he isn't or that LU's culture is too far one way, just that it wasn't a good fit. I wish BJ the best and want him, and the Racers, to succeed (except when playing us).

Why are yall including Nick Barbour? The one from High Point?

He's the last player I would expect to play for Liberty. Biggest punk in the conference, in my opinion.

Was recruited by coaches as far back as RD, I believe. Chose Curry over him, since McKay got that connection.
