2018 & Beyond recruiting targets

[tornado]

A 2018 name to note-

Riley Grigsby- 6'6" forward from Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose, California. He's an uncommitted senior who has a couple midmajor offers (North Dakota & Presbyterian). He is a strong physical kid who is projected to have a high upside, and is said to be "One of top unsigned seniors on west coast". He was on an official visit to Oregon State last weekend, and he has also visited St. Mary's on an official visit. He played in a spring showcase event for unsigned seniors in Northern California three weeks ago, and drew a lot of attention for his outstanding play.

Not that I think we will land any further 2018 guys...

but here's a brief list of the guys we know who are still available who have been mentioned on our board before...

-Gregory Eboigbodin - transfer from Illinois
-AJ Youngman - transfer from EKU
-Juwan McCloud - transfer from Northern Iowa
-Trey Knight III - transfer from Indiana State
-Johnnie Vassar - transfer from Northwestern
-Parker Hazen - transfer from Valparaiso
-Justin Roberts - former BU recruit, transfer from DePaul
-Justin Thomas - former BU recruit, transfer from NIU
-CJ Keyser - transfer from Wichita State
-Kaelen Malone - transfer from Wichita State
-Austin Weiher - transfer from SIU
-Michael Tucker - former BU Recruit, could still have a year of eligibility left & don't see where he's signed anywhere
-Callum Barker - transfer from Bradley
-Ryan Stipanovich - transfer from Bradley
-Romon Douglas-Watkins - former Manual HS star, was at Southwestern Comm. College - not signed anywhere
-a couple of the others on our former 2018 list (Marcell Haskett, Williams) are going juco

** Jerome Merritt decided to do another year of juco at Colby Community College in Colby KS. this will be his 3rd year of college so he should be caught up on academics. After 2018-19 he will still have 2 years of eligibility left.

Loyola's 3 transfers (Cameron Satterwaite-N. Arizona, Adarius Avery-CentralOK, Tyson Smith-TX-RGV) have all landed elsewhere, as have all the other transfers from Valpo, Evansville & Missouri State

Bradley has also been in contact recently with sophomore (2020) Isaiah Rivera, a 6'4" guard from Geneseo High School.

We can use several new NLI signers that year. With the new transfer rule mentioned by t, does the NLI loose it's significance?

[Da Coach]

Here is my post about the new NCAA rule-

I don't see that the NLI loses any significance. The new transfer rule doesn't apply to recruiting, or to high schoolers or jucos, or to signing NLI's. A recruit is still bound by the NLI they sign.

Sometimes that does not always hold true. Remember the Grundy kid

Well, obviously any kid can leave a school or refuse to honor the NLI, like Grundy did, but he was still bound by the NLI for his first year post high school, and he had to pay a pretty severe penalty for not honoring his commitment. When Bradley refused to release him, he had to spend an extra year at a prep school before he could sign with a different school.

Fantastic get by Illinois State. Abdou Ndiaye, 6-9/200, PF The Nation Christian Academy. Beat out Georgetown, Wichita State, UNLV, and Ole Miss to get him.

Star 2018 ISU recruit Abdou Ndiaye is reportedly not on campus, and there are academic eligibility issues.

[tornado]

Seems we kinda knew that was going to happen over a month ago

http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showpost.php?p=825139707&postcount=196

wouldn't surprise if he had to sit out 2018-19 like other ISU Redbirds - McIntosh, Hawkins, Copeland, John Jones, etc..
