After years of absence, the IHSA has brought the IHSA 3A Sectional back to Peoria and it'll be played in the new Renaissance Coliseum...
Getting the top kids from the best high schools in the area and sectional onto campus to play here in addition to having the Finals and March Madness right downtown...
can't help but benefit Bradley on the recruiting trail!

I agree, there seemed to be more local kids that hung around and signed with Bradley when the sectional was played on campus, Ruffin, Crouch, 'Cellus, Danny Adams are the ones that mainly come to mind from my life time.

Prosser? DSE??

Forgot about DSE, but Prosser committed after Robertson was down Im pretty sure. Plus the small schools never played sectionals at the Fieldhouse. I was referring to kids who played in sectionals at Robertson. DSE did play in a sectional at the Fieldhouse with Washington his junior year I think? When he still had Roth with him, or was the Fieldhouse gone by then? I dont really remember what year the last sectional was at the Fieldhouse.
