I don't know how involved Bradley was with Normal Community 6-10 big man Kobe Walker, but Walker had committed to Central Michigan way last fall. However, due to a coaching change there, Kobe Walker just re-opened his recruitment.
Walker averaged 19.1 ppg and 12.2 rpg in his high school senior season., and we need size.....
With all the players now in the portal, have to think the coaching staff has compiled a list of players on their radar. Of course not all the players they are wanting will decide to not be coming to BU. Have to think by now there are players that are considering BU. Was mentioned in a previous post that a certain players was here for a visit. Can only hope the staff made a good impression upon him. In my opinion we should be getting close to hearing some news going forward.
D1 portal- Lejuan Watts- 6'6" redshirt sophomore forward at Washington State. He spent 2 seasons at Eastern Washington, including a redshirt season his first year. His sophomore redshirt-sophomore season at EWU, he was the unanimous Big Sky Freshman of the Year (9.4 ppg, 4.9 rpg). Then he followed his coach, David Riley, to Washington State when switched jobs. As a redshirt-sophomore this season at Washington State, he averaged 13.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 54.9% overall, and 42.2% from three.
In the game against Bradley last November, he had 12 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists to help WSU beat Bradley 91-74.
He is originally from Fresno, CA, and is now in the portal.

Question: With 6 guys returning and 3 high school recruits signed last fall for a total of 9 scholarships. With the new total allowed as 15 that leaves 6 scholarships Bradley will have available to give out. Do you think they will use all 6?
I'm hearing we have a visitor in town... interesting, not someone we've previously reported.
My sources tell me it wasn't Cooper Flagg. So, I'll guess Iowa Hawkeye portal player Ladji Dembele. One of the few portal entrants who still hasn't found a home from Iowa. Million to one.
Disclaimer- I do not know anything about the recruit visiting...
but I sense that MUCH of the college basketball landscape has been created by JUST ONE or TWO PEOPLE...
First - the entire aspect of juco, NAIA and even some DII players getting an extra year is all completely as a result
of ONE SINGLE federal judge, William Campbell, in Tennessee, who issues a TEMPORARY injunction applying to Diego Pavia,
allowing him an extra year due to the use of his eligibility in junior college -- ONE JUDGE, but then NCAA didn't want a landslide
of additional lawsuits so they ok'ed the ruling for everyone. Now we do have a landslide of additional 5th & 6th year guys in the portal.
Second- a North Carolina judge ruled that players can transfer as many times as they want without any penalty or period of ineligibility.
Again, opening the floodgates for guys to hop yearly from team to team as often as 4 or 5 times.
Thanks guys, you have effectovely killed mid-majors' chances of ever building or sustaining successful teams
and post-season runs....
Hope the staff can land recruits going forward. Trust they will find players with good work ethics and will buy into the culture Bradley now stands for. Above all else players with good character and morals.
