[Da Coach]

Our coaches have also been to other prep schools and junior colleges in recent weeks.

[tornado]

Caleb Stone- a kid from North Carolina Bradley had followed wants to stay out east, has narrowed to Old Dominion, Eastern Carolina, Radford or Charlotte


also
Assistant coach from Bradley plans to stop by Martin Luther today to watch 2019 G/F Xzavier Jones (6-5),
2019 G Ace Evans (6-2) and 2019 G Trequan Carrington (5-9) in an open-gym workout.

"Coaches from Bradley and Miami of Ohio plan to attend an open gym Thursday at Racine St. Catherine's
to check out the deep talent at the school, led by 2021 G Tyrese Hunter (6-0) and 2019 F Quinn Cafferty (6-6).

Coaches from NCAA Division I Bradley University visited Madison East today to watch
emerging 2020 G Anthony Washington (6-3) in a work-out session.

2020

D'Andre Davis - OFFERED on July 20, 2018...

Bradley 2020 target has just verbaled to Nebraska


also another former BU target that blew up to 4-Stars just verbaled to Mizzou...
they are stockpiling a lot of talent there....
past BU Brave Ronnie Suggs is a redshirt junior there this year - but I have to think if he doesn't get much playing time (and it sure looks like he might not)
then by next season, he would, in all likelihood, be able to go as a grad transfer and play somewhere and help some midmajor --
we know he had the talent - it'll be interesting to see what he does...

The "experts" at 247sports.com predict 100% that Alex Hemenway will commit to Bradley-

https://247sports.com/Player/Alex-Hemenway-46036018/

That may sound encouraging, however 247sports.com is often wrong. And the 100% is based apparently on one single guy-
someone named Chris Fisher (a "Recruiting Insider" who writes for CatsPause.com, a University of Kentucky sports blog that is affiliated with 247sports.com)-

https://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/Alex-Hemenway-at-Castle-185066/CurrentExpertPredictions/

I have heard from a far more reliable source that although our coaches are optimistic, they believe Bradley's chances may be more like 50-50 at this time. But I believe the chances are much better than that.

This was posted here about 6 weeks ago- a recruiting guy's prediction about Alex Hemenway from Sept. 9....so it is not breaking news

https://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/Alex-Hemenway-at-Castle-185066/CurrentExpertPredictions/

In the meantime, Hemenway seems to have gone silent and hasn't even gone on any more visits that we know of - he might still commit this fall - or maybe he will wait until spring...

but he seems still undecided as he isn't saying much or doing any more interviews...

[Da Coach]

Bradley is also following Class of 2020 Jeron Artest, who is a teammate of Stephan Gabriel at Hillcrest Prep in Phoenix. He is the son of Ron Artest (aka Metta World Peace), and is a 6'2" quick point guard who has developed into an outstanding outside shooter as well as an effective passer and penetrator.
He has had several outstanding AAU games this past summer and now with Hillcrest's team this fall. And he is starting to get high-major interest.

And couple other names that Bradley has been in contact with-
2019 Kayne Henry, a 6'7" wing forward from Northwest Florida State College, a junior college in Niceville, Florida.

http://www.nwfraiders.com/sports/mbkb/2018-19/bios/henry_kayne_izd8

He played at San Jacinto College in Houston last year and averaged 9.3 ppg and 3.4 rpg off the bench, and shot 38% from three.
He is originally from London, England. He played on England's 2017 FIBA U-18 team. Here are some of his highlights (his name is listed here as Kayne Henry-McCalla)-

Bradley target Alex Hemenway tweets that his big news is coming next Friday- suggesting that he might announce his college decision...
As we said earlier - the commitment of Ville Tahvanainen - a very similar player - might mean that Coach Wardle already knows ...

I believe the staff feels Ville will be a better player both immediately and long term. I think his commitment ended Bradley's recruitment of Hemenway.

New names....

2019 Thomas Hall[/B]- 6'9" forward from Metamora, High School.

http://verbalcommits.com/players/thomas-hall

Video-
https://www.hudl.com/video/2/11678/5...18972b585e4ae6

6'9" Metamora senior Thomas Hall, who Bradley's basketball coaches have been following, was injured in tonight's Class 5A IHSA Football 1st round playoff game. He is the team's quarterback, and has had a tremendous season. He was helped off the field after being tackled. Metamora lost to Joliet Catholic 49-20.

There are reports he has a knee injury that could be serious. Let's hope not, since he has a bright future as a D1 basketball recruit.
Thomas Hall has several D1 offers already-

Alex Hemenway says he will announce his college choice Friday at 10am

https://twitter.com/sportstalksc/status/1056987667617984512

Clemson, Bradley, Belmont, DePaul & Creighton were his final five choices...



One other BU target, Michael Moreno, still has not said when he will decide or announce...
He has offers from Bradley, Evansville, Winthrop, EKU, Canisius, Toledo, Little Rock, and possibly an offer from Iowa

[Da Coach]

Former BU recruit Alex Hemenway will choose between a final four of Clemson, Creighton, DePaul, and Belmont.

As we have said, he eliminated Bradley after Ville Tahvanainen committed.

I do not know which he'll choose, but my money is on Belmont.

[tornado]

Hemenway's father was friends growing up with current Clemson head coach Brad Brownell and so there's a pretty strong connection there....but Clemson offers 4-Star & 5-Star kids every year so Hemenway might be smart enough to know he could get recruited over there...
In fact, they already have 5 other 4-Star rated wing players & guards right now...

and both Creighton & DePaul are up to their necks with involvement in this huge FBI federal corruption case....

so Belmont might be the best place to get playing time right away and have a fine 4-year career.
