Jackson State’s Michael Houge-
averaged 8.5ppg, 7.4 rpg, should have at least 1 yr & then maybe the juco extra year

I hope we get a lot of visits this week before the players we want end up somewhere else. The next 10 days are very important as far as I am concerned.

If this site is correct Portland's Rapp to Wisconsin. Looked like he might have been a good one.

See my apology in last post. I admitted my mistake.

Also as usual all thanks for recruiting info.

[yoda]

the year that he was All Conference and averaged 11 & 11 (in conference play) was his year at Mira Costa junior college- NOT the year at Southern Utah

[LongTimeFan]

That is what I was asking. I hadn't seen it anyplace. SUU's site shows a 7'0" junior that was first team all conference and averaged 11 and 11 in conference play.

However, individual stats seem to contradict those stats unless I am looking at them wrong. I used the numbers on his JC profile by mistake and should have looked closer. They on listed on his SUU's roster page. I would delete but other people have seen my mistake so I will leave it as a lesson. Sorry.

An idea where Burdick for SUU is going or is he is staying at Southern Utah?

do you have a report that he's in the portal?
he played baseball (at 6-11) for one year at DI University of San Francisco, then one year of basketball at juco (9ppg, 9rpg)
and just spent one year at SUU with 2ppg, 3rpg, but I don't see anywhere that he is transferring.

SUU's Allan Hanson is coming to Bradley, and Southern Utah's point guard is headed to the portal,
along with FOUR of their top scorers.
I am hoping for a big package deal!

and... Bobby Suarez is from Portland, their top 3 players are also all in the Portal
Max Mackinnon (6-6)- 14.5ppg & 41% 3-pt shooter,
Austin Rapp (6-10)- 13.8ppg & 6.5rpg,
Vukasin Masic(6-5)- 10.5ppg
...so is their back up center, 7-0 Mezziah Oakman (67% FG%)

Masic is roughly the same age as Ahmet Jonovic and is also from Serbia.

I have heard more than a dozen names today that Bradley has interest in. Many are new names and are connected with one or both of the new assistant coaches now working at Bradley.

Jemel Jones- has at least one, maybe two seasons of eligibility (juco), originally from Chicago area (Blue Island, IL)

Yes, it's not always easy to predict how successful a transfer will be. A good example is Missouri State this past season. Cuonzo Martin landed several transfers who, on paper, looked like quality D1 players, and some were double-digit scorers at their previous school. Their season started out looking good. They had some impressive wins, including a relatively easy wire to wire win over Big South Champion High Point (29-6), and finished their non-conference schedule 7-4.
But, for whatever reason, it just didn't work out from there. They went on to have the worst season any Missouri State team has ever had in the MVC, finishing last, 2-18, with a bunch of blowout losses, including a quick exit from the MVC Tournament.

because the MVC ain't a bunch of cupcakes. Don't let the door hit you in the butt as you leave the Valley from the cellar, Bears!

On a side note, feel free to leave the Sugar Bears.

[Da Coach]

Hope after this dead period is over after today staff can get visits and going forward get players to commit. Always that chance no matter how highly they are on paper, the true test is will they buy into Wardle's culture. Hoping Wardle can land those type of players and can contribute right away.

We need some starter talent.

there are roughly 11 teams in the MVC you could say that about...
