Excellent news!!!

5 healthy low-post guys on the roster.
We have been known around the Valley as having one of the weakest frontcourts over the past 4-5 seasons.
Hopefully we can erase that tagging and become one of the strongest by next season with only WE graduating after this one.

He needed to take summer courses at his junior college to qualify for graduation.

I think that our post play will be significantly improved this season. Not only do we have 5 players to fill two spots, but for all intent and purposes, we have 15 fouls to use at the 5. I felt like there was such a lack of depth last year, that Pross had to play way to passively to stay out of foul trouble.

Just met Tyshon as Coach Uken was showing him around Renaissance Coliseum. What a polite and respectful young man, at least in the office setting. Can't say enough about the quality of young people who represent all of Bradley Athletics.

That's one thing that has always made me proud of our teams BP. We recruit quality kids that do our university proud when they are called on to represent us in a public setting. That Sweet 16 team was one of the best at this on the national stage. I'm hoping Geno's boys get a chance t shine on that national stage soon as well.
