Then, we have a big man at Bucknell who's been opening eyes among NBA scouts in 6-11 senior center Mike Muscala. According to BU sports info director Jon Terry, scouts from the Clippers (at Cornell), the 76ers (at Bucknell) and several groups of others (at Loyola, MD and Missouri) have come to see Muscala in the past several weeks.

Diligent work in the weight room has developed a body type not naturally muscular. And Muscala credits a 2-week stay last summer at the IMG Academy's NBA pre-draft camp for rising seniors as a factor in his stamina and strength this season: “I think I learned a lot about taking care of my body. And I got a chance to play with some guys who are in the NBA right now – Larry Sanders [Bucks], Kendall Marshall [Suns], Moe Harkless [Magic] – and some other guys who didn't get drafted. “Good competition, but also I learned about the importance of taking care of myself – what I eat, methods of recovery, things like that.” PennLive.com
