To Tymell and Matt - Bradley has a great basketball tradition, amazing fanbase that lives and breaths basketball, and facilities that would match up against any in the country. We have immediate playing time available.

We have a coach that is positive, funny, and has proven that he knows how to win.

Both of you would would be great additions.

We are going to be great again. We want you two to be a part of it.

It's a beautiful day on the Bradley campus for a visit.

[Da Coach]

I can also confirm that both Tymell Murphy and Matt Stainbrook are on campus and will be scrimmaging in an open gym around 3:00 with some of the Bradley players and others.

[Future Walk-On]

I will be scrimmaging too (so they feel good about themselves)

[Da Coach]

Murphy and Stainbrook have been scrimmaging on campus. Nothing to report yet about how things went.
And there are other recruits/transfers that Bradley is considering.

A couple hours ago from a WMU grad that blogs and tweets WMU sports....

"Matt Stainbrook seems to be enjoying his visit to Bradley. I could see it. Pretty significant change for him if he goes there."

[Da Coach]

Matt Stainbrook played well in the scrimmage against our guys. He seemed to have a great time. He is a really BIG kid, and will need some conditioning, but if he commits, he'll have 18 months to get into shape.
Tymell Murphy has a knee injury, and was not able to scrimmage at full strength today.

For the record, if Stainbrook were to transfer to Bradley, he would never play against Echenique. Matt wouldn't be eligible until the fall of 2013, and Echenique will be a senior next year, and will graduate before then.

true lol. my bad.


any word on why he wants to transfer?

[Da Coach]

No official reason for him leaving Western Michigan was ever given, but he had a falling out with his coach.

For the record here are Matt Stainbrook's numbers in his just completed sophomore season..

Overall - 27 mpg, 11.4 ppg (19th in the MAC), 6.8 rpg (T-6th in MAC), 61.6% FT shooting, .580 FG shooting (led MAC)

Conference only - 9.6 ppg (30th in MAC), 6.7 rpg (9th in MAC)

In the MAC tourney -
Game 1 vs. #9 seed Ball State, Stainbrook was 3-7, 10 pts, 9 rebs
