Three nistts later, Tuesday, Sept 12, U3, Roger Reid felt the world move. Shawn Bradley phoned coach Reid and told him be was going to sign with BYU. Thursday, at a press conference at Emery High, Shawn Bradley made it official and it was BYU fans everywhere who felt the world move. he could get.xampus visits, and who knows what kind of enticements. Instead, he voluntarily took himself out of the recruiting circus. This is commendable. At 5 there is no doubt that Shawn will be an impact player at BYU. But when? From what I've seen and heard of Shawn Bradley he is mentally mature. Physically he has some challenges. Basketball long ago stopped being sport Today's game 7-- non-conta- ct at best borders on the brutal, espe- cially in the paint where the 7- -f ooters live and die. Shawn needs to bulk up. That takes time. I've heard he plans on playing his freshman year then going on an IDS Church mission. Speaking realistically, that means be wont really make an impact until 1994. Hopefully, Shawn's body will fill out without robbing him of his mobility. Hopefully, when he returns he will be able to stand under the basket and hold his own in the shoving, pushing and intimidating master if play that a center must succeed. to is he My gut feeling is that Shawn Bradley will succeed at BYU. But it is going to take time. To think otherwise could be I . admits that excitement includes taking on BYU and quarterback Ty Detmer, the nation's total ; offense leader. In BYU Lowe says the Navy players will see a passing attack they've never encountered before; "All I will say is I wish they would run the football That's what we're used to." 205 pound senior,- is Lowe, a from Satellite Beach, Fla., and" is one of the better athletes on the Navy team. He is a three-yeletterman in football and starting pitcher on the Navy baseball team for three sea-- 6-- - 2, ar sons. ; Last year he had 61 tackles in eight games. He will be involved in blitz packages for the Middies, and does drop off in pass coverage occasionally. Lowe earned all-stat- e, al and the Florida, on defense in the Florida-Georgall-stgame as a senior. He was named the Florida athlete of the year by USA Today and picked academic by MVP ia ar "Coaches school. Magazine," in high r..i , There was a day in his Florida prep career he was afraid of the Naval Academy and signed a letter of intent to play at Vanderbilt "1 was afraid of the cotumitment required to go to Navy. But one day I changed my mind and decided there was a lot of security in going to the Navy Academy." The Middies ranked seventh in the country last year in pass defense, but Lowe says that is because almost none of the teams on the Navy schedule throw the football. The biggest passing day against Navy last year came from Syracuse which completed a hot 14 of 17 passes for 292 yards and four touchdowns. Lowe said he is excited for Satur- day's matchup with BYU. "It's my senior year and I want to go out with a bang and I'm anxious to get it ail started. I've only seen BYU on TV and now on film and they are a real tough team to open up against On one hand you kind of hope you dont have to open up against a team like BYU which poses us problems with the pass. But on the other hand, that is what college football is all about." t Lowe says Navy to much .improved over last year when , the Midshipmen finished "Everybody knows what they are doing and nothing is new. Well, maybe playing against BYU will be new." 3-- 8. |
