  • Fan Appreciation Breakfast Tues. Oct. 4

    I had the privilege and pleasure of attending the Fan Appreciation Breakfast this morning in the Braves Club room at the Renaissance Coliseum. The room was packed with fans. It was great to see and hear from Coach Wardle and AD Chris Reynolds, and even Bradley President Gary Roberts took time out of his busy day to attend the breakfast and mingle with the fans. The fans enjoyed a great breakfast and hearing about the upcoming season.

    Coach Wardle spoke to the fans about the team, the players, the schedule, and more. He hinted that we should see a completely different style of offense this year, now that we have multiple good ball handling guards to run a faster paced offense, instead of the slower offense we ran last year to limit possessions by the opponents. He prefers the faster style with a lot of quick shots, and hopefully more fast breaking. The Coach also answered questions from the fans after his presentation.

    There was more about the team and about the recruiting situation, but if anyone is interested in reading more specifics about what Coach Wardle shared with the fans and with me personally, send me a PM.

    saw the pictures that were posted online by the BU Athletic Dept & Dr. Chris Reynolds - looks like a lot of fun...
    and we should see a packed house for the afternoon event as well...
    and it confirms that despite a few down seasons, Bradley has a ton of the greatest fans around --
    ...and yeah - PM da coach for a pretty good confidential report of what's going on

      One of the things mentioned today was that the Bradley Athletic Dept. plans to be even more active on Twitter and Facebook.
      Here is a brief video of practice today

          I agree the afternoon session was very interesting. It was great to hear that DLO is cleared to practice and already going all out and the team has a lot more depth this year.
          I'm surprised that T didn't mention the question that got everyone's attention. Coach was asked if the season started today as to who his starters would be. HE said it would depend on the team they were playing but he listed 3 players that weren't at BU last year as potential starters. Coach continues to praise JJM and he mentioned that DB has a very good grasp of the offense already. He also mentioned that our outside shooting should be vastly improved and our bigs are way past last year.

            yes he did and he not only listed at the center position a certain surprise for some...
            - but he even beamed about the new guy, Koch Bar, being so quick, athletic, energetic, durable and high motor...
            I have to say that really was great considering I have seen some who claim to be experts rip the guy as a total project and claim we shouldn't have used a scholarship on him..
