Player Summary
       A year ago, scouts were describing 6'9 Brian Boddicker as thin 
and lanky. Things would get worse before they would get better. What 
was originally thought of as a hernia early in his junior season ended 
up with Brian in the hospital for an emergency appendectomy. It wasn't 
until January of his junior season when Boddicker began showing strength 
again. An intense regimen of weights got him back into shape, and 
stronger than ever. Now in the 220 to 230 pound range, he is able to 
affect play in the paint instead of working around the play of others. 
He has good footwork, is a good athlete, and has the work ethic to 
expand his game. One area needing work is his perimeter game, as he is 
pegged for the power forward spot in college. He has the range, but 
needs more opportunity to hone the shot. His coach also points to his 
better than average ball-handling skills for a post player. Seen at times 
to suffer against more agile post players, Boddicker's post defense will
need time to develop to a college level. Regardless, he is a high 
Division I prospect, listed among the top 70 players as a junior. Brian 
was one of the players selected by USA basketball to play last summer 
in their Developmental league.
       Boddicker averaged 19.9 points and 9 rebounds as a junior after 
spending half the season getting back into playing shape. Duncanville won 
their last 23 games and went on to their second Class 5A state title of 
the 90s (over Kimball, who has won three 5A titles in the 90s), and 
Boddicker took home the tournament MVP honors. Duncanville finished ranked 
11th in the nation by USA TODAY.
       Boddicker is an honors student and has already achieved a qualifying 
score on the SAT.
