Will the current Bradley players be allowed to practice with the Always a Brave players?

Will the current Bradley players be allowed to practice with the Always a Brave players?

No, I do not believe they could officially practice under NCAA rules. The NCAA has very strict rules governing the amount of time and how many players can participate in practices, and it is especially limited over the summers.

On the other hand, what players do on their own time in open gyms is not limited by NCAA rules. College players scrimmage frequently during the summer with players from the community, and as long as coaches are not present, and that is allowed.

But once we are into the off-season, then current players are free to go into the gym and shoot around or play with those older guys as long as it is not an official practice that's run as a practice by our staff.

now we are up to the #13 team overall...... as it appears that the team listed as #10 and as #11 are the same team - possibly some error or glitch then listing them twice.

I hope our current players take advantage of open gym opportunities to learn from the experienced Always a Brave players. Are open gym scrimmages open to the general public to watch?

Jim - as you can see in this little blurb - even during Bradley's spring break
many of the players were practicing and working out on their own -
