Daeshon Francis another solid game 10pt, 9reb, 7 asst

...btw-- whether Daeshon Francis lands here at Bradley or not - either way - nobody has had more info posted on him that we have here including - from what I understand - someone who is close to the recruit...
and we have listed him as a BU recruiting target and a strong possibility to be a BU commit since back in April 2015.


Limestone's Hank Mathews (son of Limestone coach and past BU Brave Eddie) is hitting on 80% of his 3pt attempts..
he is a sophomore at Wabash Valley CC- but it's early

[Da Coach]

2016 point guard recruit Loren Christian Jackson, who Coach Wardle made a strong push to try to sign in this early signing period despite getting involved late, has spurned Bradley's offer, and committed to Long Beach State.

More info on Loren Christian Jackson from our recruiting board-

[Da Coach]

With Loren Christian Jackson signing with Long Beach State, it looks a little more like maybe Bradley will only sign the 2 committed players they expected to sign, and not a 3rd recruit that Coach Wardle suggested he'd like to sign.
The coaches were recruiting other 2016 point guards, including foreign players, but no word on what our chances are of getting a commitment in this early signing period.

[Da Coach]

Brian Wardle still says there is a possibility he will sign a point guard before this early signing period ends next Wednesday-

Any hints as to whom that pg might be?

[Da Coach]

Before yesterday, I thought Loren Christian Jackson was the most likely point guard to commit, but that has changed since he committed yesterday to Long Beach State-

I can't give any names right now, but Coach has been recruiting several other point guards, including some that are not in the US. So maybe our next point guard could be another foreigner!

I know we have long since been out of the picture...but...

once a long time ago we were actively recruiting Chicago Morgan Park's Charlie Moore - but he just committed to Memphis
