2 new Bradley walkons

[Da Coach]

In Dave Reynolds' article was this brief mention about a couple new walkons-

Braves briefs: Two new walk-ons — 6-4 Jordan Brown of Atlanta (no relation
to Taylor Brown) and 5-10 Aaron Ganson of Geneseo — have joined second-year
walk-on Charonn Woods on the BU roster after a campus tryout.


We have known about Jordan Brown since June. Here is a thread with a lot more information about him-

I don't know much about Aaron Ganson, but he was a senior on the Geneseo team back in 2008-2009.
He is now apparently a sophomore at Bradley.
These sites have pictures of him-

The Quad City Times named him to their All-Western Illinois team in March, 2009 (honorable mention)-

And he is a realy good 3-point shooter. It was Aaron Ganson who was edged out by Tyler Les by one shot in a tiebreaker round back in March, 2009 for the state title in the class 3A three-point competition-

Here was a post from March, 2009 where a poster suggested Aaron might try out as a walkon at Bradley -

Jordan Brown was there last night and sitting behind the bench where the players were but was not in uniform

Aaron might have been there, but I don't recall seeing him...
Here's what he looks like............

Yes, he was sitting with Jordan Brown near the Bradley bench.

I see this as a really good sign.

The 'bandwagon' is getting ready to leave the station for
BU MBB and people are wanting to get on it!

aaron is one of my best friends at BU, and he's extremely excited about being part of the basketball program here.

He was a good 3pt shooter in high school, and he has put on about 35lbs of muscle since high school, and last year was playing basketball everyday with whoever he could.

He's an extremely hard worker, and i cant wait to chant his name when we go up big in games.

If memory serves me correctly, JL has inserted a walk-on into a game to take an unexpected 3 before. If he can nail the 3 consistently, you may not have to wait for a blow out to chant for him.

Aaron kills it in open gym at Markin.
