2019 & Beyond Recruiting Targets

[tornado]

if we end up with an open scholarship or two - I hear rumors there may be a couple transfer kids interested in Bradley...
..Big 12 kids, SEC kids...


One LSU kid has already left and in the process of transferring - and he is from Milwaukee and knows are coaching staff well.
...check this out ----> LINK -- not necessarily predicting - just sayin'....

and a TCU kid has already left & about to pick a place to transfer - LINK

[Da Coach]

I can confirm that Danya Kingsby (see link in post above) has been one touch with our coaches.
He is originally from Milwaukee, and our coaches are familiar with him since high school. He also played at Arlington Country Day prep school in Orlando, then junior college, before spending this season at LSU.

Fisher has had a couple of knee surgeries. I'm not saying he would not be a good transfer as his 3-point percentage is good.

I think he’d be a great add, he can shoot, he can play point, and he’s proven it at the big 12 level. He’d be a great add. Even if his injuries are that severe, he’d be a good leader type presence.

If kingsby comes I’d be very happy too. His tape is promising. Great athlete who knows how to score. That’s the type of mercenary recruit I believe teams should seek out on the transfer/juco market. Develop a defense and offensive system through 4 year recruits and add bucket getters that will be around for short periods. He and fisher would both be solid recruits, but if I had my druthers I’d prefer kingsby

You are right. Almost every team in the MVC had at least one transfer from another school that was or will be a key player for them
Bradley is the only school that does not-
Loyola- POY Marques Townes, and Clayton Custer last years POY
Drake- Brady Ellingson the top 3-point shooter in the league, and Nick Norton, a key player and the top assist guy until he got hurt
SIU- Marcus Bartley
Missouri State- their best player and 1st team All MVC Tulio Da Silva
Illinois State- Milik Yarbrough, their best player and All MVC and they have 4 more transfers sitting out who will be eligible next season (Boyd, Hillman, Fisher, Donnelly)
Northern Iowa- Berhow, McDonnell
Valparaiso- Bakari Evelyn, Ryan Fazekas, Deion Lavender, and 2 others sitting out this season- Nick Robinson and Eron Gordon
Indiana State- Allante Holsten, Cooper Neese, Christian Williams
Evansville- Shea Feehan, Sam Cunliffe

McDonnell never transferred
ISU also has Chastain
Missouri State also has Ridder & Webster plus Tyrik Dixon & Josh Hall sitting out
Indiana State just got a mid-season transfer this year - Peace Ilegomah from Pitt- https://www.bradleyfans.com/forum/sp...289#post481289

Ryland Holt commits to Minnesota State
...he reportedly did have at least three DI offers - LINK LINK LINK

anyone interested - Ryland Holt - who Bradley watched a few times - is playing right now on NBCSports Chicago &
WGN in the Chicago area - in the 2A semit from Bradley's home floor at Carver

[LongTimeFan]

Would either of the two possible transfers mentioned be able to play next year?

[Da Coach]

Fisher might be able to graduate and if so would be eligible as a grad-transfer and would be immediately eligible. If he doesn't graduate, he'd have to sit out if he transfers anywhere in Division I.
I do not think Kingsby will graduate this year, so if he transfers from LSU, he would have to sit out a year.

One of Bradley's 2018 recruits, Emmanuel Bandoumel is quietly putting together a very good FRESHMEN year at Hill College (juco)
Hill plays one of the toughest schedules in one of the toughest conferences...
Bandoumel is averaging 14 ppg, 53% shooting overall, 40% on 3-pt shooting, 4 rebs, 2 asst, 1.4 steals and is known as an excellent defender.
He would have been a 2020 recruit but he chose to come out of juco early as a qualifier - & committed to SMU
