It looks like Jaheem Webber could be a "big" miss.Comment

The kid has really improved. A year ago he was overweight, slow, and one dimensional. That has all changed. IMO, he might be a legitimate high major recruit now if he hadn't already committed to Wright State last fall. And Bradley did not "miss" on Webber". Bradley was recruiting him early and was one of the first to offer him.Originally posted by egib52 View PostComment

I meant miss in terms of not getting a commitment, not that they didn't try.Originally posted by Da Coach View PostComment

I agree. I think he'll turn out to be an excellent player in D1. He had offers from ISU and SIU as well as Bradley and other mid-majors, yet turned those offers down and chose to commit to Wright State. He has said that he developed a close relationship with Wright State head coach Scott Nagy, and that Wright State's style of play uses their inside big men as scorers, which appealed to him.Originally posted by egib52 View PostComment

I would seriously look at D-2 and D-3 players that have proven they are good players and are able to contribute at D-1 level. I think most important is players that can shoot plus handle the ball. We are in need of 3 guards a wing forward and backup center . I hope Thomas stays because to me he has a great upside and I do not want to see him in another UNI like East and Kent.Comment

And this is a kid Bradley might consider contacting. I do not know if they have, but he looks interesting, and he has a connection to one of the current Bradley players.
Milos Vicentic- he is a 6'8", 220 lb junior forward at Division II McKendree University in Lebanon, Illinois, who just entered the transfer portal. He is from Belgrade, Serbia, and played with Ahmet Jonovic on the OKK Belgrade team. This season as a junior, he lead the team in scoring with 21.5 ppg, and shot 41.2% from three, and 53.3% overall. He also averaged 5.0 rpg,
