Goanar Biliew commits to Bradley

The biggest loser in the whole transfer portal is high school kids. You pretty much have to be a top 150 to get a scholarship offer now with teams reloading every year with proven D1 players .....very sad IMO

However, it also creates opportunity for midmajors to steal some of those HS players who blossom late.

Right, but steal them for how long?.....just until they prove to the power 5 guys they can play at the D1 level?

Seems to me power 5 teams might as well not even go after freshman unless they are 5 star guys...not worth the risk...you can go after D1 transfers who already have proven they can play.

Then those diamonds in the rough that mid majors were able to "steal" will be primed and ready to poach when the time comes.

Oh I agree, but unfortunately that is the nature of the game now. It is very disappointing.

One other concern that can be seen on the scholarship grid... If every player stays through their entire eligibility, at the end of the 2024-25 season, Bradley will have 10 scholarship players leaving, plus 2 walk-ons.

I think the one thing we can be sure of, is that not all 10 players will make it to the end.

Anyone know how long Brian Wardle's current contract is through?

Anyone know how long Brian Wardle's current contract is through?

Here's the most recent release of information regarding Coach Wardle's contract situation-
https://bradleybraves.com/news/2018/...ough-2023.aspx
Bradley announced on 3/27/18 that Coach Wardle's contract had been extended through the 2022-23 season.

However, a poster whose word is highly reliable, posted in this thread that Wardle's contract had been extended through the 2024-25 season.

Goanar Biliew's younger brother (class of 2023 Omaha Biliew) has been predicted by a couple recruiting sites to be leaning toward Iowa State.
Recruiting site Rivals is one of them-

And there are a couple private twitter accounts like the one you linked to that seem to say he may have committed. But they are not accurate and have no connection to the recruit or to any legitimate recruiting source. Omaha Biliew has not yet officially committed anywhere yet.

Just saw Coach Altman in that poster.
Dana got to 20 wins again last year...the Ducks were really down, and not sure why after some really good seasons.

I believe he's reached at least 20 wins in 23 of the last 24 seasons now...pretty incredible
He should move up past Tark the Shark (UNLV) and Norm Stewart (MIZZ) at #27 all-time sometime this coming season.

And with another 5 seasons of coaching, he could move into the Top 10 winningest coaches in NCAA D-1 history.
That would be pretty cool to have a former MVC coach (who made a name for himself while at Creighton) reach that milestone!
