This guy was once a Bradley recruit

one time Bradley recruit Jordan Cornish is on the move again...
he verballed back in 2014 then went to UNLV, then he left UNLV and verballed to Cal...
now he is renegging his verbal to Cal and reopening his recruitment...reportedly because his academics could not get him into Cal

No, I do not believe Bradley is after Romine at all...
the offer from Bradley was way back when he was in high school (when Geno was head coach)..
Although we won't know for sure, I don't think Bradley is currently pursuing any transfers - least of all Romine - the recent mentions of who is after him include Ball State, ISU but no Bradley.

This is no knock on Christian Romine, but clearly he is not happy with such scarce playing time at UTEP and he knows he aimed way too high and looking for another program to give it a 2nd shot. He might end up as a very successful player - but given his stats in the time he did play at UTEP, I'd have to believe even the MVC-level might still be aiming a bit too high.

Note that the mentions of Bradley are from 2014, but then this is not news, as we reported it here almost TWO years ago - LINK

Was actually going off of the quote from his former AAU coach over on redbirdfan. There it says they did contact him after he decided to transfer. Interesting read but of course we don't actually know if that poster is legit. Regardless doesn't really matter.

Interesting. Same Christian Romine that according to his AAU coach also has an offer from Bradley but has chosen not to take an official there. Guess both are Digging Deep. My Aces are Digging Deep too I guess...

Geno dug deep and usually hit fool's gold.

ok- now that I have seen that quote- I can't dispute it - seems to be coming from someone who knows him well...
we don't know exactly what's meant by an offer - but it might be a full scholarship offer - just don't know, and maybe we will find out more.

ISU's Nick Banyard has visited Charlotte and Central Florida and seems to be down to those two but no official word yet

[tornado]

There is no confirmation yet where Joel Okafor or Davante Cooper will transfer.

what was 1st reported here back on April 9, is now being confirmed by PrepHoopsIndiana

Syracuse transfer Chinonso Obokoh is transferring to St. Bonaventure - and in large part because of the efforts of ex-Bradley star Jerome Robinson who is assistant coach there

Two more from the Valley

Indiana State's Grant Prusator, juco kid who would be a senior, is now reported to be leaving & transferring
Then there's a report Loyola sophomore Maurice Kirby is leaving - but something has to give - as with all the new guys coming in, Loyola would appear to be oversigned - LINK

Nick Banyard commits to UCF for next year - he is eligible immediately
kinda of a lateral step at best - maybe a step down - they are a football conference with basketball playing 2nd fiddle.
ISU was a top-110 team while UCF is a lesser known directional school that is down around 225...

Maybe he loves Disney, and wanted to be closer to the Magic Kingdom...they definitely have some nice facilities down there too, I am surprised they haven't had more success.

another transfer with an interesting connection...

Valparaiso sophomore David Skara
..the article specifically mentions Brian Wardle as a DI coach who was active in recruiting Skara before he chose Valpo...

http://www.nwitimes.com/blogs/sports/inside-vu-sports/the-servant-of-two-masters/article_9b8322d0-07ef-11e6-a241-f74cbb5d6508.html

Skara's situation made news because Valparaiso had refused to release him if he wanted to go to Vanderbilt to follow Bryce Drew..

Wow, that is a really long article that says very little about Skara's situation.

Anyway, I posted about him and the Wardle connection earlier in this thread, about 4 weeks ago-

However, with all of Bradley's scholarships filled, I don't see him ending up at Bradley now.

Banyard should get some playing time, as UCF returns only 3 of their top 7 players...
but the one top guy they have returning - their leading scorer and guy who played the most minutes by far is AJ Davis (son of NBA'er Antonio Davis), a similar type (but better) player to Nick Banyard

one more last minute transfer
Drew Cayce - a Creighton guard from La Lumiere in LaPorte, IN is leaving and transferring to Illinois and will walk on at Illinois
Cayce split time at point guard back in 2014-15 at La Lumiere with one of Bradley's recruits back then, Munis Tutu..
Tutu went to Loyola Marymount and averaged 4 ppg & 3 apg as a part time freshman starter for Loyola Marymount, but shot poorly - under 30% both overall and behind the arc.
