2025 and beyond recruits

[yoda]

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....

I'm hearing we have a visitor in town... interesting, not someone we've previously reported.

Cool. Are they good at basketball? Can they help this team immediately? lol

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.

Macaleab Rich is highly athletic. Would be great at the mid major level imo.

I remember him from HS, he would be a great get for us if we could.

Yes, waiting patiently for recruiting news. Do not know if BU will sign anymore H.S. freshman, but need so desperately Frontline post studs. Hope we hear news soon. Can't wait for next season to start. "LET'S GO BRAVES"

This bring up a good point. With all the player slots being taken up by transfers there has to be alot of high school kids out there with no place to go.. Maybe Bradley could pick up a good one
