Macari Brooks to Bradley?

he joins Saihou Jassey, Jermaine Brown, and Jalen Crawford as BU recruits who were touted as kids who had 40 inch verticals and legendary athleticism ...

Doug McDermott is not "athletic" but look at what he can do. I'll take five "basketball" players over athletes any day.

Bradley Braves wassup y'all don't know how Excited I am to be apart of the family

[Canton BU fan]

I for one am excited. BUT with what has happened lately it is easy to see how people may be skeptical over any recruit.

And they became legendary basketball players too!

all of them went on to further careers - Brown did well as a Globetrotter - but I could even add Chris Roberts to that list..
CRob was brought in because of his tremendous raw athleticism - and he wasn't even all that good of a scorer in HS or juco - but if you start with that kind of raw talent - it can be worked into something of benefit..


BTW - must-see...
a few awesome dunks by Macari Brooks (at 50 sec)
but also note some pretty impressive dunks from (5-10) Jahii Carson, Dantiel Daniels, Jamie Crockett, and other familiar names

One last thought - Geno had said each of the last two years that he wanted to hold at least one scholarship 'til spring when lots more talented players either look to transfer or emerge from the juco ranks....
so I will predict that he knows something here - and that even tho we are using what appears to be our last open ride - that we will have something in the spring.

Macari Brooks played only 10 games last year in juco at Blinn, and has played ten games this year - so his career stats in juco (post-high school) are as follows...

20 games, FG shooting 164-279 (58.8%), 3-pt shooting 100-290 (34.5%), FT% 49-66 (74.2%), rebounds 109 (5.45 rpg)
His high FG% is a result of speed and athleticism that allows him to get to the hoop a lot -
kinda of what Walt & Rayvonte Rice can do...
His 3-pt shooting...he was at 30.8% (4-13) last season, and so far this year is at 37.5% (doesn't shoot many- 6-16 so far on the season, 0-6 in his last 4 games).

Macari Brooks will be visiting Bradley the weekend of December 13-14. I suspect that is when we might hear more about him committing to BU.

In Monday's game Macari was 6-11 14 pts, 7 rebs, 2 stl as the starters rested quite a bit in a blowout win 110-66 that was a 27 point lead at half.
