DJ will be ok on the defensive side and ballhandling. Bilsbury is very talented moreso than the kid TU just signed. Got to go to class and stay eligible. I bet Kyan finds a point guard somewhere.

...on an Iowa juco team that finished 11-20 last season. 27% shooting on 3's, and 56% on free throws. No all-conference or all-region recognition for him that I could find.

Sure hope he's one of those diamond-in-the-rough players that our staff always seems to find, and not just "a guy".

ESPN Profile out of HS
October, 2009: Brown is a strong and physical guard that uses his strength well to make plays and overpower smaller opponents. He attacks the basket with a clear path and defensively can handle both guard positions. He must work to improve his ball handling and extend his shooting range but his ... for full access to RecruitingNation become an Insider

Hard to be a great point guard if the players you pass the ball to can't/don't score. How is that for looking at the positive side of this possible recruit?

We don't need a scorer - we need someone who can be a floor general and distribute the ball.

Adam Liberty & Rod Pearson came to ORU with less than stellar shooting stats.

I'm wrong about RBP (that's right - I'm starting it now) not getting any postseason recognition - he made 2nd team All Region:

MMC's Bell, Brown-Peterson Named All-Region XI (Central Iowa Times-Republican)

Article by Travis Hines also states Brown-Peterson was fifth in assists in the conference, and "is seeing interest from a number of Division I programs".

That's a relief - sounds like he can play a bit!

[ORUTerry]

I like the fact that some articles describe him a "strong, physical" player. That sounds like Spencer-Gardner, Liberty and Pearson. Nice to have a tough point guard.

Yeah, but if he's really 6'-1", I'll be shocked.

Look at the team pictures on the MCC website - I'm guessing 5'-11"; 6-foot tops.

Have done some research on this guy. He played basketball in the Kansas City, KS and graduated in 2011. He apparently was recruited by St. Boniventure but was jilted (their message board indicates this happened) and then signed with Sam Houston State in May 2011. For some reason he ended up at Independence Community College in August. The SHSU message board talks about this briefly, but they do not know the reasons. The school must have released him from his scholarship. It is not grade related because he is eligible to transfer to ORU as a sophomore.

He was a scorer at Washington high school: In his junior year, he averaged 24.9 ppg (2nd in the state) and in his senior year he averaged 23.3 ppg.

At Independence Community College his stats were:

12.875 ppg
51.04% - fg%
2.75 assists per game
1.542 steals per game

Via Twitter I asked Travis Hines what some of Brown-Peterson's strengths are. He replied:

RT @TravisHines21 Good ballhandler, team leader. Nice shot, good around the rim. He's a nice player, from Milwaukee.

I'm hearing TraVaughn White is REALLY good - if we could get either him or RBP, it should really help our chances right out of the gate in the non-conference season, and will allow us to work the younger guards into the picture as the season progresses.

RBP is apparently visiting on Thursday:

Porter center Erick Broadnax signed to play basketball with Connors State, but may eventually wind up at Oral Roberts.
“He’s going to play Division I college basketball, it’s just a matter of when,” Porter coach Jason Jack on Thursday.
Broadnax, who is 6-9 and has recently caught the Golden Eagles’ attention, could go to ORU as a freshman if he can qualify academically.
As a senior at Porter, Broadnax averaged 13.5 points and 10.4 rebounds...TW HS Blog
