Who's next?

[Da Coach]

Bradley has 1 more scholarship available, and now that Deshawn Delaney is no longer an option, who becomes the next target?

It is likely the final scholarship will go to someone on this updated list of 375+ Division I transfers-

There are some pretty good players available who could help Bradley.
Other than Brian Greene, the only other name to emerge so far, who would fans like to see us recruit?

Henry! !!

I didn't see his name on the list.

Alex Foster?

whatever happened with BU and Alex Foster, the 6'8 Minnesota decommit?

The last thing that I read was that Texas Tech was the favorite now, but that Rhode Island was expecting to get a visit.

Is BU involved/trying to get involved?

Someone who can score! Lasan Kromah from GW has some good stats and he can play immediately! Or, a PF/C who can sit a year and develop. Ackerman (PSU), Bolden (GTown), Diaz (KSt) are a few from power conferences. BU is attractive because we can almost guarantee playing time and probably a starting position.

Here is an interesting transfer rumor- Evan Gordon, the younger brother of Eric Gordon, is a 4th year junior at Arizona State. he averaged 10.1 ppg, and is on track to graduate this spring. He is interested in transferring, but the rumor is that he may transfer to Inidana, where his brother was an All American, to play his final year.

I have to believe now that the signing period is over for 2013 - that our staff is concentrating on getting in, getting to know, and letting them know we are targeting them - to the next couple classes...

Both us & ISU went big time for late spring left-overs this year but the best way to build our program might be to get in on the ground level, follow and vigorously recruit the good high schoolers for 3-4 years then build a recruiting program that can get them interested in playing for Bradley and coming here. We are not Wichita and we will not be steadily successful going mainly after the short term fixes and 2-year players.


As a comparison -
in the first 3 seasons/recruiting classes here's what each of our last 3 coaches landed. - Geno is rebuilding in a strikingly different manner than JL & Mo did

GF-
only 4 traditional HS kids (DS, NW, KB, DH - only one of whom, KB, has played any significant role),
4 prep HS kids (none have helped an iota - 5 if Tucker is counted but Jalen & Shayok are already gone & Zecevic & Swopshire have yet to play),
3 jucos (TP is a key commit, but the other two wait in the wings),
3 D-I transfers (none have played yet) - time will tell

JL-
10 traditional HS kids (two left but several - Tauai, Crouch, POB.. - played huge roles),
5 jucos - 3 of whom, Cellus, Boogie, & TB, played HUGE ROLES,
no prep HS kids,
and no transfers.

Molinari- 11 traditional HS kids - most of whom - Anthony Parker, Deon Jackson, Billy Wright, Funches, Kleine, Zobrist, Burrell - stayed and were key players in the rebuild),
only 1 juco - Pollard - also key
- no preppies, no transfers...

BTW - Versace also did it with mostly traditional high school kids in his first three recruiting classes (Mitchell Anderson, Reese, Mathews, Voise)
and only a couple jucos (Mines, Thirdkill, Scott..)

This kid is available are we trying to get him?
He is a TOP 100 kid, a 6-6 shooting guard and transferring from Virginia....he played here in the 2010 Tournament of Champions
He was Mr. Basketball in Wisconsin coming out of HS..
he was a full time starter in the ACC, and a good shooter....he's looking at Northern Iowa...

anyone know if we are recruiting this kid...

Michael Harris - was just named the Division II Juco National Player of the Year (same award Cleanthony Early won last year at the D-III level)..

Harris averaged 24 ppg, 8 rpg, 4 assists, and 3.3 STEALS!He had a 50-point game this season along with hitting almost 40% from 3-pt and 85% from the FT line...also had an 18-rebiound game and an 11-assist game for his 32-5 team...
he's a great all-around player and he is still open and waiting for the offer that fits..

He is at South Suburban College (South Holland, IL) and some of our coaches (Willie Scott, too!!) have extremely strong ties there ..

In fact I just happen to have a photo of South Suburban College head coach John Pigatti having lunch a few weeks back in my old stomping grounds.....
