2024 and beyond recruits

[yoda]

no, the entire Ivy League cancelled the 2020-21 season, so nobody played and nobody used a year of eligibility, but they did maintain their four years of eligibility but not 5 years.
The only people who get the extra year ("The Covid year"), are those who did play that year, 2020-21, and now get to play it again because it does not count against their eligibility. Players who did NOT play that year cannot play an extra (5th) year.

New portal name- Trey Pettigrew- 6'3" combo guard originally from Chicago Kenwood Academy in the class of 2022.

Bradley is now recruiting several other portal players. Can't post names yet, but there is a lot of talent in the portal who could be quite successful in the MVC. And with luck, the coaches will land some.

Another portal player Bradley is recruiting-
Tevin Smith- he is a sophomore at the University of Denver, and is now in the portal. Bradley recruited him and reported offered him 2 years ago when he was at Danville (IL) High School. He has been mostly a starter at Denver since he arrived. He averaged 10.4 ppg as a freshman, and this season he averaged 10.0 ppg, which was 2nd highest on the team.

Bradley is among schools interested in Landon Moore, a 6'3" freshman guard at St. Francis of Pennsylvania of the Northeast Conference. He is in the transfer portal. He is from Bloomington, Illinois, but graduated from Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio, in 2022.
https://twitter.com/IllinoisRivals/s...03690815602688

He played in 19 games as a freshman, starting 17. He averaged 13.1 ppg, 3.6 assists/game, and shot 36.0% from three.

He broke a bone in his hand in a game on January 14, and missed the rest of the regular season. He returned and played in 2 games in the NEC postseason tournament before St. Francis was eliminated.

Moore would be a great get for the Braves...

Another portal name that Bradley is recruiting- Drake Allen. He is a junior at Southern Utah with 2 more years of eligibility because of the extra Covid year.
https://twitter.com/ThePortalReport/...37967223439361

Bradley recruited Allen a year ago as a 6'4" sophomore point guard at Snow College, a junior college in Utah. He ended up committing to Southern Utah, where he had a pretty good year. SUU finished 24-13, and 12-6 (3rd place) in their first season in the WAC. They made it to the championship game of the WAC tournament where they lost to Grand Canyon U. They played in the NIT and advanced to the final 8, where they lost a tough game to Eastern Kentucky 108-106 in double-overtime.
Drake Allen started 37 out of 37 games, averaged 30 minutes per game, and averaged 11.0 ppg and 3.7 assists per game. He shot 49.8% overall, and 35.5% from three. But the head coach at SUU was just hired away by Bowling Green. So Allen is now in the transfer portal. He will likely be looking for a full time point guard position.

This seems like the perfect fit. He will have already transferred once, which is nice for us with the new rules. He is a 6-3 point guard from what I can find and had nice numbers all the way around as a freshman - nice assists, shooting, free throws, low turnovers. Steals seem low so I wonder about defense, though that isn’t the best way to measure defense of course.

Seems like a good kid from the quotes he’s given and must be smart enough to be a business analytics major. I like it, sign me up!

I haven't seen Landon Moore play. But, for a freshman to score 13 ppg and shoot 36% is impressive, even in a weak conference like the NEC. The NEC was the lowest rated conference of all 32 Division I conferences in NET-

https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2023/net-conference

His best game was a 25 point output in a game at Final Four team Miami.
Game log- https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...2/landon-moore

As far as defense, that's hard to judge, but here are a couple possible indicators.... His stats show only 12 steals all season which is very few for someone who played almost 600 minutes this season.
And, he averaged fewer than 1 personal foul per game, which is sometimes an indication of not very aggressive defense.

New name from the portal that Bradley has been in contact with-
Justin Harmon- senior 6'4" guard at Utah Valley University. He is originally from Chicago, and graduated from Curie HS in 2019. He spent 2 seasons at Barton Communty College in Kansas, and averaged 16.0 ppg, 4.6 rpg, and 3.5 apg his sophomore season.

Bradley reportedly has reached out to L.J. Cryer, a 6'1" junior guard from Baylor who has entered the portal.

The problem is, I count 351 schools recruiting him since he entered the portal, according to this graphic.
If they are all D1 schools, that is all but 6 of them.-
https://twitter.com/CBKReport/status...97748583497733

Here are the logos of the schools recruiting him. Bradley's old (pre-2012) logo is in the middle of the 2nd row-

[Da Coach]

By the way, that image above showing 351 schools recruiting LJ Cryer is a hoax. No player gets calls from 351 schools, no matter who they are. That image is simply a grid showing all 351 Division I teams that existed from 2012 to 2019. That also explains why many of the logos are old logos that are not in use any more, including the old BU logo (middle of 2nd row).
