The Bradley women just landed a commitment today from a very good 2020 recruit. Sami Martin, a 6'2" forward from Platteville, Wisconsin, just completed an official visit to Bradley today, and rumor is that she committed. Because she will not be able to sign until November, we may not hear anything official. She averaged about 17 ppg her junior season for Platteville HS.

One of Coach Gorski's 2020 recruits, Sami Martin from Platteville, WI, just broke her school's all time scoring record. She has been an AllState player the past 2 years, and will likely be again this year.
Looking forward to seeing her in a Bradley uniform next year.
