Bradley coaching staff change

You mean Special Assistant to Head Coach Wes Miller to Bidunga

[LongTimeFan]

Regardless of whether that is true, it will always be seen that way, especially with a newly created position. I am still hoping for a good recruiter to replace him. It is hard to replace your lead assistant after the year has started. Can Bradley find as good replacement from outside? Will Bradley wait until after the season to fill the lead assistant spot?

I just noticed an article about declaring for the NBA. If good enough Bidunga, can easily bypass Cincinnati.

Sorry- I don't mean to belabor the conversation but I think this might be deepest roster in years. In addition to what's said above, Hannah will likely be the first Center off the bench and Max Ekono is a versatile 6'7" who can play pg-swing positions. I've just convinced myself that we go 10-deep!

I would LOVE to see that!

I really hope Hannah is rewarded for choosing to stay and work hard to get better over the summer.
He has major upside and one of the most athletic big men we've had - maybe since Boogie (Lawrence W)

I know Drake is the fave, but man - I don't really think any other team stacks up against the talent we have this season. Maybe that's wishful thinking?

I agree though I do think people are sleeping on SIU amidst all the Drake love.

I agree with the starting 5. Pop, Duke, Connor and Ville will rotate at guards. Zeke, Jashon & Darius as wings and Leon’s and Mast will own the front court. Max might crack the 10 man rotation.

Any rotation that doesn’t have our best three point shooter in it is wrong. Davis is fitting in well.

[LongTimeFan]

That is very interesting. I have been wondering how he would fit into MVC basketball.

Wardle's rotation is larger at the beginning of the season but he seems to play about 8 late in the season. It will be hard to break into the top 8 or 9 with due to player improvements that Wardle has mentioned, but I admit you know much more about it than I do.

I know the saying 'you can't have too many shooters'.

Agree. Christian Davis is somewhat similar to Jayson Kent. He is a terrific shooter, and very smart player, but he will need to prove himself in real game action. Like Kent, he is 6'7", which is good height for a wing player, but he needs to keep getting stronger to get playing time at the D1 level.
Jayson showed flashes of his shooting skills, but when he got more playing time in the MVC games last year due to Ja'Shon's injuries, his shooting dropped off. After shooting 30% from three in the non-conference games, Jayson shot only 23% from three in conference games for a season average of 26% from the 3-point line for his sophomore season.
The coaches are expecting much better numbers from Christian, who shot 35% from three on a large volume of three pointers (56-150) in his freshman season at D2 Le Moyne College. As posted elsewhere, Christian lead his team as a freshman with averages of 12.9 ppg, 6.4 rpg, and 91.3% on free throws (63-69), and he was selected to the Northeast-10 All-Rookie team.

Any minutes that Davis gets will be at the expense of Ville, Hickman or Zek. I look forward to seeing him. P.s. is there a red/white game this year?

[Da Coach]

I hope there will be a public Red-White scrimmage game, but nothing has been announced yet that I've seen.
Last season, the Red-White scrimmage was announced on August 12, and was played on October 13, 2021, so we are much later in the year and haven't heard anything about it, yet.

[The Old Guy]

Last night at the spaghetti dinner the Red-White scrimmage was announced for October 15.

Good to know. Thanks!

Who are you most interested in seeing at the red-white scrimmage? I'll have my eyes on Hannah and Zek.

Probably our new PGs, along with Hannah. I have been a fan of Darius since his 1st game. I know last season was a dud, but looking for him to play a key role this season.
