Southern Illinois still has one open scholarships that new head coach Bryan Mullins is about to give away.
I have heard there is a recruit who is very familiar to everyone here at Bradley making an official visit to SIU tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday.
So Mullins might be out of scholarships soon.

Missouri State gets on the board for 2020 with a really highly rated 6-3 point guard, Ford Cooper

Cooper reportedly has two uncles who are NBA players, Antawn Jamison & Vince Carter
2020
Bradley - JaMir Price- if he does a year at Prep School (currently 3 open scholarships - we lose Brown, Kennell, Bar)
Missouri State - Ford Cooper - https://twitter.com/EvanDaniels/stat...14944167104512 (may be reclassifying to 2019)
UNI - Tytan Anderson, Nathan Heise (3 open scholarships)

I keep reading how Missouri State is just kicking butt, out-recruiting everyone, and gonna be favorites...
Correct me if I am wrong but....
but about 4 months ago, we headed to St. Louis with everyone telling us that Missouri State was hot, they had the best lineup,
they were better than Bradley, they finished ahead of Bradley in the standings, they had swept the season series against us,
and that they were favored because we would NOT beat them...
That was in March...but we beat them and won the Valley Championship - so I am not totally buying into the hype.
In that win, we held their star to 3 points on 16% shooting, and just 4 rebs in 36 minutes - he was almost invisible...
I may be wrong, but I like our chances....

I wonder if this possibility has been explored.....
Missouri State was allowed to place one of their players, Abdul Fofana on a medical redshirt, he would stay in school on scholarship but his scholarship would NOT count against their limit of 13 total basketball scholarships.
Missouri State has said he still might be able to recover and play in the future - https://www.news-leader.com/story/sp...20/2931932002/
Like wise - ISU was allowed to place one of their players, Madison Williams on a medical redshirt, he would stay in school on scholarship but his scholarship would NOT count against their limit of 13 total basketball scholarships. They also did the same with Mike Vandello.
..and other players have done the same...
so why can't Bradley do the same with Rienk Mast - let him enter and be on scholarship but if he's not going to play - why can't Bradley bring in another player on scholarship like those other schools did?Comment

I believe the NCAA allows for the school to continue the athlete on scholarship and not count toward the maximum of 13 scholarships only when it involves a career-ending injury. The school can keep the athlete on scholarship up to a total of 4 years as long as they fulfill all other NCAA requirements and remain in good academic standing. However, the athlete cannot return and play.Comment

possibly, but in the case of Abdul Fofana, they repeatedly say his aim is to recover and get back with the team
"Fofana elected to stay at Missouri State. The university announced before the season that he would redshirt
with the hopes of getting him back to 100 percent health.
When asked on Friday, Ford offered the first update on Fofana since June.
"I think he's doing good," Ford said. "I haven't heard. I know he's in class and that he's still on scholarship.
He seems to be doing OK the times I've seen him."
Ford added the team and Fofana have yet to think about the forward's future in a Bears uniform,
but he said Fofana is walking around and is spending time with the team."
Wouldn't you think that if everyone knew his career was completely done, they would have said so?
In fact this article says the NCAA has something called the "first-year exemption rule".- but wouldn't Mast fit the same scenario?
"With the NCAA’s new first-year exemption rule, Fofana’s upcoming redshirt year will permit the Bears
to utilize his scholarship on another player in 2018-19." - http://www.ozarkssportszone.com/2018...ana-redshirts/Comment

it's being reported that Missouri State 2020 commit Ford Cooper will "reclassify" as 2019 and join the team now.Originally posted by tornado View Post
They are deep enough that I wonder if the plan is to redshirt him - but maybe they think he is ready now...
It's a little ironic since they just lost a kid who RECLASSIFIED from 2019 back to 2020 - DaJuan Harris
But the article out of Springfirld MO hints that possibly Ford may not be keeping his commitment since he has not signed yet - time will tell
The article also says "Missouri State would have to make a roster move due to the Bears already being at maximum scholarships for this upcoming season".
..so, someone is going to lose their scholarship - again, time will tell..Last edited by tornado; 07-18-2019, 05:30 PM.Comment

Evansville has posted their 2019-20 roster-Originally posted by tornado
.... and one of their commits' names is missing from the roster- Demontay Dixon. He is a skinny 6'9" kid from Tennessee who was a 2018 Illinois State commit, but he never came to ISU for some reason. He changed high schools and eventually changed to a 2019 recruit. Evansville had an open 2019 scholarship as they moved into May, 2019, so they offered him and he committed.
https://www.bradleyfans.com/forum/sp...390#post486390
Nobody seems to know why he isn't listed on the roster. It could be something simple like not being able to attend summer classes, and thus he is not enrolled. Since he signed a 2018 NLI for ISU, he is not eligible to sign another one this year, and thus Evansville cannot talk about him or list him until he enrolls. Or possibly he won't be attending Evansville.Comment

One of Missouri State's new incoming players, Anthony Masinton-Bonner, a grad-transfer from Colorado State, has decided to "retire" from basketball and will not play this coming season.Originally posted by Da Coach View PostMissouri State reportedly has landed a grad transfer. Anthony Masinton-Bonner, a 6'3" shooting guard/grad transfer from Colorado State who averaged 11.2 ppg and shot 41.0% from 3 this past season has reportedly verbally committed to MSU. He started about half of CSU's games.
