Willie Veasley was a Bradley recruit back in 2006 when he graduated from Freeport HS. But he went to Butler and had a nice career making the NCAA all 4 years, starting every game his last 2 years there, and playing for a national championship.

There is still one assistant coach position remaining open at ISU under Dan Muller..
they have Dana Ford & Torrey Ward in the assistant spots that we have Ron Coleman & Greg Graham in but they need a 3rd assistant to help with recruiting (like the spot we have Jaden Uken) ..
and - I hear Muller is about to hire a very prominent Illinois high school coach who is also an AAU coach with the best AAU program in the midwest (maybe even in the nation) that routinely features dozens of top D-I kids yearly.
It's a name that's not well known but one of his kids is playing for Coach Mo and another was one of ISU's top targets...

If the rumors are true I think it would be a good hire.
