Updates on Bradley's Class of 2019 recruits

[tornado]

I thought I'd combine all the discussion on our 2019 recruits into a single thread

Stephan Gabriel is at Veritas Prep - but another highly touted Hillcrest kid has left there and transferred to a different prep school
Jeron Artest - https://twitter.com/jakeweingarten/s...08155378716678

Ville Tahvainen - averaging 17.9 ppg, 5.1 rpg, and 4.3 apg, and his team has won 5 straight to pull into a tie for 1st place in the win column...

Antonio Thomas - his team will be playing at the Marshall County Hoopfest - starting Nov. 29. They play Chicago Curie at 6pm Dec. 1

JaMir Price - his Rock Island team just played #3 ranked Chicago Bogan, and lost 68-54

Memphis East's game against Chicago Curie HS has been cancelled after Memphis East pulled out of the Marshall County Hoopfest in Kentucky.
You won't believe the reason-

amazing - this is sooooo typical of the Kentucky fans who think they rule all of college basketball...

"Fans claiming to be University of Kentucky fans threatened the safety of James Wiseman over social media.
Wiseman committed to University of Memphis, over finalists UK, Florida State, Vanderbilt, and Kansas.

...Scheduled to be played in Benton, Kentucky ....social media threats concerned the Memphis East program

...Coach Holmes told PrepHoopsTN ... directly of the death threats

...Memphis East High School is indeed out and Raleigh-Egypt is in.

...East High Principal Marilyn Hillard ... confirmed Memphis East had withdrawn ...."

[tornado]

Antonio Thomas & Memphis East are starting now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6QFjw0pHaU

Antonio is #1 in white and gets an assist 15 seconds into the game, then starts filling the stat sheet by .....
forcing a turnover, picking up a foul and turning the ball over all in rapid succession... then hitting a jumper to give Memphis East a 9-0 lead then grabbing the next rebound.....

[tornado]

I'm not going to do any more updates since Memphis East is already blowing the game wide open
After 1st quarter - Antonio is having a great game

he has 5 pts, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and several other fine plays - teammate James Wiseman already has 5 blocks in the 1st quarter
1st quarter scpre of Memphis East 24 - St. Louis Christian 3
The starters will probably get a lot of rest since they have a game tomorrow, too.


update 34-17 at half


Jamir Price's game just now starting since the other team's bus was late but it's starting great for Bradley fans...
Jamir sank 2 FT before the game tipped due to Moline dunking in pre-game warmup - then Jamir nailed a 3 seconds into the game so he has all 5 of Rock Island's 5-0 lead
