2024 and beyond recruits

[Dubl R 1]

I wish so hard we’d land one of these local guys. We have so many that have gotten away… even Cellus went to Iowa first before coming back to Bradley!

You talk about a pipe dream that could have been, it was possible you could have had mast as a 5th year senior and Lathan as a freshman in the same team.

Man would that have been fun.

[Da Coach]

Bradley has been recruiting 2023 NAIA Player of the Year Mason Walters, who has announced he is transferring from University of Jamestown.
tonight, a sports reporter from the Jamestown Sun newspaper, in Jamestown, North Dakota, tweeted that Walters has cut his list to 8 schools, including Wyoming, Bradley, Southern Illinois, Montana State, Drake, Pacific, Furman, and UT Arlington-

Lets hope the Bradley NIL money can sway him.

Mason Walters commits to Wyoming.

I couldn't agree more. Wouldn't it be nice to Lathan Sommerville to stay home? He'd be a Brave legend and the fans would love him.

I even Cellus went to Iowa first before coming back to Bradley!

So he can advise his son from an experienced perspective.

New names-

This is not really a new name. 2023 juco Yaxel Lendeborg- 6'9", 230 pound sophomore forward at Arizona Western College. He was recruited by Bradley last summer, but in November, 2022, he signed with St. John's University. He is originally from Pennsauken, New Jersey.

However, with the coaching change at St. John's (Mike Anderson fired, and Rick Pitino hired), he has reopened his recruitment.

As a freshman (2021-22) at Arizona Western, he averaged 12 ppg and 11 rpg and was named a 3rd team NJCAA All-American.
As a sophomore in 2022-23, he averaged 17.2 ppg, 13.0 rpg, and he shot 72.7% from the field (3rd best among all NJCAA players) and 43.8% from three,

2023 grad transfer Wheza Panzo- 6'7", 200 lb. guard/forward who has played 4 years at Stetson, and is in the transfer portal as a grad transfer.
He is originally from Mississauga, Canada, and attended Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga,Tennessee.
He was a part-time starter his first 3 seasons at Stetson, and averaged between 4 and 4.8 ppg each year.
In 2022-23, he started 30 of 31 games, averaged 8.6 ppg and 4.6 rpg, and shot 46.9% from three. His 46.9% from three would have ranked 2nd among all NCAA Division I players, except he fell just short of qualifying. To qualify, the NCAA requires a player average 2.5 threes per game, and Panzo was 76-162 in 31 games, an average of 2.45 threes per game.

I hope Henry will help us with the recruitment of these last 2 guys

[Da Coach]

Bradley has a couple transfer portal kids coming this weekend for a visit.

[Da Coach]

Official visits-

• Each official visit may be up to 48 hours long, or the span of one weekend.

https://www.ncsasports.org/ncaa-elig...fficial-visits

Yesterday, the NCAA changed their rules regarding official visits. Previously, they limited a recruit or transfer to 5 official visits. Now they are allowed an unlimited number of visits, but only 1 per school (unless there is a coaching change). This change takes effect July 1.

I hope we can get both to commit. I think one, in particular, has a chance to start and be a key contributor immediately.

[Dubl R 1]

No Idea on our level of involvement, but I really like Antchak. Love his attitude, confidence, and you can just tell he's got a high motor. He could be a monster in the Valley.

[egib52]

We have a commitment... Do your thing DC!

[Big Mike]

Wow....very happy to hear this....awesome news...

[bigjimmy]

Nice! Kid looks like a shooter! Welcome or as they say in Iceland, “Velkominn”!

[ManMythLegend]

I'm a fan. Love the size and mobility he brings and appears to be a solid shooter. Very much think he can learn from Malevy in his final year. Interested to see how/if he can contribute as a true freshman.

[Big Mike]

Ok....we're on a roll.....any names yet on the 2 kids visiting this weekend?
