This is good news. I don't expect much in the first year or so, but with his athleticism I really think he could develop into a solid contributor in his junior and senior years.Comment

Hit the new facilities hard this summer Hodges, plenty of playing time to compete for this next season.

Is this the kid from KSU?... At the end, of the storm, there's a golden sky. And the sweet silver song of the lark. Walk on, through the wind, walk on, through the rain, though your dreams be tossed, and blown. Walk on, Walk on with hope in your hearts, and you'll never walk alone!
I'm behind you 100% Bradley Braves, You'll Never Walk Alone! BEAT STATE!Comment

This kid is from Bolingbrook and originally committed to Wisconsin. He is from my old high school and I have mixed feelings about this since he was ruled ineligible in January and didn't really get to see the court after that.Comment

This was ESPN's write-up in 2009 - sounds great!
"Devon has a great basketball body with tremendous length and athleticism. He's a good shot blocker who can really run the floor well. He's also a terrific rebounder, especially on the offensive end. Offensively, he has a versatile inside-out game out to about 17 feet. He's not a 3-point shooter yet and he also needs to work on his ball handling. He needs to learn to take his man off the dribble from the wing. Devon is a tenacious competitor who never backs down from anyone. The coaches at Wisconsin (verbal) will love his toughness and his athleticism. He has a tremendous amount of upside for someone so young. Projects to the high-major level by the time all is said and done."Don't putt until the cup stops movin'Comment

Great news. Welcome to Bradley Devon!
Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™Comment

Devon was very impressed with Bradley and the BU facilities when he came to Bradley on Monday and participated in an open gym with some of the BU players. He was invited back for an official visit Thursday and Friday, and he gave a verbal commitment when he was visiting the campus. But as I mentioned elsewhere, Devon is just 17, so he could not legally sign the NLI alone. So he took the papers home and got the necessary signatures and faxed them back last night.

Welcome to Bradley, Devon. And congratulations to Coach Ford, Coach Scott, and Coach Uken. Pat Beilein played a part in this as well.
And Bradley is not done recruiting. There are a couple more visits scheduled this coming week.Comment
