2024 and beyond recruits

Again we need to bring in some athletic players with size because we pretty much have the guard positions taken care of for next season. Johnson, Burch, Wheeler, Zobrist and Richardson gives us 5 really good players so maybe adding one more to that group would be ok.

With the players we will lose after this season, it is of utmost importance Bradley hits home runs to fill our front court with athletic big men who have good moves to the rim, can rebound, and play defense. Zeke came back for his final year and looking at Latham Sommerville's stats so far, he is averaging 15-19 minutes per game with 7.5 avg. in scoring. You can only hope he decides to go to the portal next year and maybe come to Bradley. He would be an immediate starter in my opinion.

I wish but I do not see that happening. We need to look at portal transfers and JUCOS because we need bigs that have proven they can play at this level.

The two top scorers ahead of him are both going to the NBA, so likely his playing time and starting status will keep him there

That's true, but Bailey and Harper are both guards, so it isn't likely Sommerville will get more playing time or more starts if they leave.
I do not think there is any chance he leaves Rutgers, but Sommerville hasn't started any games, so far, and their starting center Ogbole, who has started every game, is just a junior.

Sommerville plays considerably more minutes than Ogbole & Ace Bailey, projected as a top NBA Draft pick, is 6-10 and plays forward in much of their offense

A player we discussed a year ago, 2024 Metamora grad Tyler Mason, is now a freshman at D2 Wenona State University. Bradley never offered, and I don't believe any other D1 school did either. But he is off to a good start at Wenona State. They are 11-4 so far and 6-3 in their conference. Tyler has been a starter in all 15 games, has average 33 minutes per game, 9.9 points per game, and he is shooting 42.1% from three.

One new name that Bradley has been in contact with...
2026 Jarron Talley- 6'3 guard at Pope Paul II HS in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

It would be better to see us in on some bigs because we already have 5 guards on our next years roster.

We are in on a number of bigs. Scroll back over the last several pages to find them. This kid is a 2026 recruit. He would not be part of next year's team.

We need to be, hoping Davis can return.
