Nate Navigato - unofficial visit Thursday 4/23

[tornado]

That's interesting...
they talked to Nate Navigato's father on Wednesday and he said...
"The new one that seems to have a lot of interest is Bradley,"
said Dan Navigato, noting his son will likely plan college visits soon."

then, as per the title of this thread, he was on Bradley's campus Thursday....so it seems the visit to Bradley was a priority, even though three of the other schools he mentioned are closer (NIU, ISU, UIC).

If my math is right we should have 4 scholarships next year, no?

I think only three
the current roster has
Joel Okafor
Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye
Ronnie Suggs
Antoine Pittman
Donte Thomas
Ka'Darryl Bell
Mike Shaw
Anthony Fields
Warren Jones
Omari Grier
....that's ten players and if all take scholarships, then we'd have three left to give out

Omari is leaving, so that scholarship will be open.

And Xzavier may return, so that could put it back to 3.

But we have 5 seniors, right? I believe Vent was talking about pocketing it for next year. So we will have 5 for next year, that was what I was referring too. We have 3 left now, and 5 for next year so, hell, if Nate is worth it, give him a shot. We can still go get 5 more next year.


*****Disclaimer***** when I refer to next year, I am referring to 2016-17. Lol!

If Grier is leaving, that would reduce next year's available scholarships by one. Am I missing something?

Your statement confuses me. If Grier left, it would open one more and increase the available scholarships.

[LongTimeFan]

No wonder, I am confusing you. I thought Patrick was referring to the 2016 year. I was getting the 2015 season scholarships and the 2016 season scholarships turned around. I think it was the reference to four that did it.

With all that is going on, I still may be confused. You know what they say about us 'old' people.

Want to throw a wrench into the number of scholarships? What if Josh Cunningham changed his mind and decided to stay? Stranger things have happened.

[Da Coach]

I guess so, but I don't see that happening. Arizona is coming on strong after Josh, as well as a dozen other schools. I am pretty sure that horse has left the barn.

0% chance that Josh comes back.

You know, "B" and "G" are real close to each other on a keyboard,
particularly when typing on my smart phone keyboard!

This would be a nice pick-up IMO.....6'7" three point shooter.....Bradley gets a visit the day after his release from Buffalo.....

He's got to be a better 6'7" three point shooter than the one who thought he was last season.
