2019 & Beyond Recruiting Targets

[Jim]

He just received his release from Eastern Michigan a little over a week ago.

It would be interesting to hear how the recruiting process worked that made it possible for Bradley to land Kevin after such a short amount of time after he received his release from Eastern Michigan.

[egib52]

I hadn't seen his name previously, is this someone with recent contacts?

[tornado]

Kevin McAdoo, not Keven...shooting guard from EMU -
avg 8.6 ppg but just 1.1 rpg, 1.5 asst and 32.5% from 3-pt
per Dave Reynolds - transferring to Bradley- has to sit one year & will have two years to play

this is apparently the kid visiting today - but his name was kept pretty much under wraps...
I can't find where anyone has his name linked with Bradley

Welcome K-Mac
....looking forward to what he can contribute!!

[lb071964]

It’s done, welcome Keven Mcadoo!

[egib52]

An impact transfer like who you are referring to would be OK with me. It would be worth having to play an extra man short to get someone with his talent.
We lose a couple likely All MVC guards next year (D. Brown & Nate K.), so we can really use another talented scoring guard for 2020-21.

It sounds like IB has heard someone is close. Is it safe to assume you have too DC?

[tornado]

I think we can take Tim Finke off our list of possible recruiting targets - he lists a bunch of schools that he's been hearing from
(EIU, Valpo, Indiana State, SIU, Wright St....) but apparently not Bradley...

also a few other names on our former lists have verballed to jucos or DIIs

of course nothing is 100% until it happens....

this is why despite all the guarantees & assurances from the "experts" - especially those at PJS I never fell for any of these ...
...and this list is just the most ridiculous ones...

--don't worry, she won't fire Ken Kavanagh
--don't worry, she wouldn't fire his entire assistant coaching staff then bring in her own
--don't worry, she knows what she's doing...
--don't worry, sure she just jacked her salary to $800K+ and extended herself thru 2020 but she is leading us in the right direction
--don't worry, Geno knows what he's doing and these recruits (Xzavier Taylor, Jermaine Morgan, Chris Blake, Kendahl Amerson, Stefan Zecevic...) are "light years" better than what we had...on par with the Mitchell Anderson/Thirdkill class
--don't worry, Geno has Michael Tucker in the bag and he'll be a stud here in the fall
--don't worry, Geno will have BU in the NCAA by year 3 or 4
--and all the ISU folks telling us that ISU was a Top 40 team, their RPI (NET) would blow away Bradley's and that they were as deep as they had ever been
--then the one I still consider the most laughable of all time - the personal letter supposedly direct from Board Chairman Doug Stewart saying
that he and the board were fully satisfied with Joanne Glasser and that (in fall of 2014) Bradley Athletics was in the midst of the MOST SUCCESSUL run that they had seen in the past 30 years!!

[lb071964]

Because I think we will sign another sit out transfer soon. Again in recruiting nothing is 100% but this is close!

[Jim]

I didn’t say your reasons for wanting a kid that can play this year are wrong headed. I said it isn’t happening. You can also stop worrying about Kingsby playing this year.

Why do you say it isn't happening?

[tornado]

OK but you said MUST get a kid that can play this year. You didn’t say maybe or might you said MUST in capital letters. Based on that I said you will be disappointed.

but my demands for recruiting always take a back seat to those of the head coach - but as I said...
I kinda predicted exactly what was going to happen this past season at ISU when all the ISU people including Muller
were giddy about how strong and deep their team was - but it was obvious to me they were seeing a mirage...
They really had no true point guard, they tended to regularly rely way too much on just 2 or 3 guys, and they tied up way
too many scholarships on kids that had to sit out or who had walk-on or DII talent.

I just don't want to see that happen for us....
again - we'd be asking for trouble if Kingsby doesn't get the waiver and either (or both) Nate & DB get hurt (those are not long shot possibilities -
those kinds of things happen)
We could be picked in the top-two in the MVC next season just like ISU was then risk playing on Thursday if we get caught shorthanded.
Time will tell - but Wardle's done a very good job thus far with the players recruited - so I trust his judgment even tho I expressed what I'd like to see.

[lb071964]

There are no for facts in recruiting but from what I know I feel safe to say it unlikely.
