Bradley has offered a scholarship today to a rising 2015 player from Indiana- Bronson Kessinger.
He is a 6'8" forward from Corydon Central HS in Corydon, Indiana (southern Indiana, near Louisville). He is an athletic kid who can shoot the ball, and who is probably not done growing yet.

Various sites report that he already had offers from Indiana State, Evansville, IUPUI, IPFW, Illinois State, and Western Kentucky. He has had interest from Indiana and Louisville.

Is there a link showing the offer? I didn't see a specific mention of an offer on the two sites you posted or on Verbal Commits.
 
Thanks. I am including an actual link, where possible, about an offer on my own info sheet.

Are those names on the VerbalCommits page presents offers to those individuals? My count has around 10 or so offers. Maybe I have done something wrong.
 
Bronson Kessinger, a pretty good 2015 recruit that Bradley liked, committed to Missouri Valley member Indiana State today.
 
Bronson Kessinger, a 6'8" forward from Corydon Central HS in Corydon, Indiana, who was once a Bradley recruit, and who committed last fall to Indiana State, suffered what is being described as a potentially serious leg injury in a game tonight. He was transported to The University of Louisville Hospital for evaluation.
 
It is the kind of injury that is always reported as a full year injury, something that takes at least 10 months to recover from, yet does not not interfere any further with an athletes career. He may not end up at Indiana State out of high school because of this incident, but it won't keep him from being an impact player at the Valley level if he was indeed that good.

I think sometimes, if not most of the time it does.......

when a bone fractures this badly then tears through the muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc and pokes out through the skin,
it cannot help but do severe damage to all those tissues, plus possibly tear blood vessels, nerves, and other structures.
In the process, often additional internal knee damage and other separate injuries also occur, leaving the individual quite possibly
injured in such a way that a full, 100% recovery is extremely unlikely, not to mention the need for lots of internal hardware that might impair
performance late and the loss of abilities that will result from the entire year of extremely limited activity that would be required
to have the surgery then recovery from it and get the casts off.

Remember, when it happened on national TV to Louisville's Ware, they were hopeful he'd be the same after he healed, but he was nowhere close -
so he left Louisville and has tried to make a go of it at Georgia State - averaging 8 ppg, somewhat unimpressive for a Top 70 recruit...
 
Every injury can be different. But here are smoe cases of a similar injury in sports-

Here is a brief story about Kevin Ware of Louisville, who suffered a similar injury in a game. He has never been able to play at the level he did before the injury-

And more recently, NBA player Paul George suffered a similar injury.

And Joe Theismann suffered a compound fracture of his tibia and fibula in 1985, and it ended his career.

And there are other examples of similar injuries in lesser known athletes.
David Busst, a pretty good English soccer player's career was ended with a similar injury-

A Belgian soccer player had the same injury and was never able to return to playing-

And one of the top college wide receivers who was destined for an NFL career Tyrone Prothro, suffered the same injury in a game in 2005, and was never able to play football again-

Though many athletes have recovered pretty well from such a serious injury, I would say most of the athletes who have sustained that injury never returned completely to the level they were at before.
