Here is more info about the newest MVC head coach Ryan Miller who was just hired by Murray State - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Miller_(basketball_coach)

He is from Mitchell, South Dakota, home of the legendary Corn Palace. Anyone else been there?

Here's a more direct link to Miller's Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_M...sketball_coach)

I've been to Mitchell, but not to the Corn Palace. When I was in Mitchell, I was in a bit of a hurry and forgot the Corn Palace was there. Maybe next time. HA!!

Players on Iowa's roster that I would like to see at Bradley, some of whom were previously recruited by Bradley:

Owen Freeman- Kankakee-area kid, moved to Moline, Bradley's recruiting his bro, but will be highly pursued by P-5's...

I don't know how valid this information is regarding Owen Freeman, but I hope the guy is right - https://x.com/cubbieblue17/status/1900936627439944117

Ironically, his hometown was Bradley, Illinois and he attended Bradley-Bourbonnais High School, before moving to Moline.

On3 site has four other schools mentioned. I posted in recruiting thread. But if true It would be a big victory for Bradley.

Oh what a major get this would be

All this excitement about getting some of Iowa's kids!!!! They could come to Peoria! M.Sommerville I believe was at Iowa 1 year before coming home! If I was Bradley's recruiter, I'd go all in on that history! If we could get even 1 Iowa players, that would be awesome! We have 15 Scholarships and we are losing so many seniors! Wouldn't it be Incredible if we have as many players from Peoria in the Portal and come back! We could really cheer a Bradley Peoria team!!!!!

Would BW really leave Bradley after his best recruiting class? If Iowa hired him, that just would seem strange especially if even one of those players transferred to Bradley!

Don't think he's on Iowa's radar at all, sounds like they are going hard after McCollum and Devries

Freeman is not transferring to Bradley, might have an outside chance at Koch. I also think coach Wardle is staying until his daughter finishes at Notre Dame which is 2 years away. Northwestern would be the only possible school if Collins leaves for Villanova.He would be a fit there.

I don't think Coach is going anywhere for awhile.Just my opinion but I don't believe he would jump for the money,it would have to be the right situation.I hope he is here for a long time.

He's also not a hot name. Hot names have NCAA appearances and national attention. Unfortunately, we don't get much of either.

if his name does get brought up to get hired for a prestigious spot, Kirk Wessler will return to write a hit piece in the PJStar rag and lie about some remote 10-year old jaywalking violation to make sure he doesn't get the job...

rumors that former Drake head coach and Colorado State's current head coach Niko Medved is the top choice to Univ. of Minnesota.

Ali Forokmanesh (butchered the spelling) would take over if he leaves is the other rumor
