2025 and beyond recruits

[Da Coach]

A couple new 2024 names Bradley has recently been in communication with-
2024 Michael "Isaia" Howard- 6'6" shooting guard from Plattsburg HS in Plattsburg, Missouri. He was previously committed to North Dakota State, but he just withdrew his commitment today. He was a prolific scorer in high school, totaling over 3,000 career points. He averaged over 34 points per game as a senior.

Nobody knows how good he'll be at the DI level again- But I would have loved to see him at Bradley.
.... in the one season he played at UT-Chattanooga, he hit 39% from 3-pt.
and his 37.3% from 3-pt this season at juco was on a very high volume of shots attempted, well over 200 on the season-
(way more than Tucker DeVries or SIU's Xavier Johnson and as many as Isaiah Swope took),
37.3% is also better than DeVries, Johnson or Swope accomplished in the MVC.

Only one other guy on his team shot over 32% so likely he had the best of their opponents' defenses thrown at him as well.
But note that he also went to the FT line 242 times (as much as anyone in the MVC - Xavier Johnson led the MVC with 246)
He also had 268 assists (8.4 asst/gm,), 48 steals and an Assist to Turnover Ratio of 2.8 to 1, which also would have led the MVC by far!
He was also 2nd on his team in rebounds, 5.4 rpg.

One-time Bradley recruit Brody Robinson commits to University of Texas-Arlington - https://twitter.com/brodyrobinson_/s...87049492632029

That is a bit of a surprise, considering he had offers from some pretty good mid-majors like Bradley, Stetson, Fordham, Oral Roberts, Southern Utah, St. Louis, Oakland, Chattanooga, and others. But now he will be playing in the WAC for a team that has made the NCAA Tournament once in its 56 year history.

I really liked him.

Bradley recently was in contact with a 2024 juco point guard 5'10" Brody Robinson at Garden City Community College. He is originally from Houston, and spent one season at Chattanooga (2022-23), and transferred to GCCC this season. He averages 19.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, and 8.8 apg.- https://verbalcommits.com/players/brody-robinson

Our recruiting staff seems to be shorthanded.

[Da Coach]

6'7" wing Diogo Seixas of 202 Sports Academy in Sarasota, FL, was a 2023 Bradley recruit. He is originally from Portugal. Coach Wardle visited him in Florida. Today, he committed to San Jose State.

Diogo Seixas is a freshman at San Jose State who just entered the portal. He was a 2023 recruit from Portugal that Coach Wardle liked and visited at a prep school in Florida. And he held a scholarship offer from Bradley, among other schools (including Indiana State and Drake) before he committed to San Jose State. He played in 28 games and started 7 at SJSU as a freshman, and averaged 3.5 ppg.

Could Bradley still be interested?

[Da Coach]

Bradley was no longer recruiting Dekwon Brown.
He just announced his commitment to Seward County Community College in Kansas.

[tomahawk chop]

One-time Bradley 2024 recruit Dekwon Brown played for Peoria Central his junior year, and transferred and played at Skyline Prep in Arizona this past year as a senior. He visited Bradley a couple times, including for the Red-White scrimmage last October.
He is still uncommitted, but posted on twitter that he will announce his commitment tomorrow - https://twitter.com/DekwonBrown/stat...55311401648635

He would be a good one to get out of high school. Any idea on what are chances are of getting him?

[Da Coach]

....two recruits with current or past local connections were at the scrimmage-

More portal players that we've learned Bradley has contacted-

Nate Santos- 6'7" sophomore forward at the University of Pittsburgh. He is originally from Geneva, Illinois and graduated from Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Conn. in the class of 2021 as a 3-star recruit. He was rated as high as the Patrick Beverley player in his class nationally, before suffering a torn ACL his sophomore season. At Pitt, he has played mostly off the bench in the last 2 seasons. he averaged 12.8 minutes per game as a freshman and 2.8 ppg, and this past year as a sophomore, his playing time dropped to 7.3 mpg and scoring dropped to 1.6 ppg.
Yesterday, he entered the transfer portal. - https://pittsburghsportsnow.com/2023...ansfer-portal/

That quote above on Nate Santos was from 2023 and now Nate Santos has once again entered the transfer portal - for 2024.
He played this past year at Dayton, avg 11.7 ppg
I suspect Bradley will reach out to him again, but I’m sure he’s looking to go to a P-6 school

[Da Coach]

Correct me if I am wrong.. But Zhang visited and told the staff he was committed but did not sign any paperwork. Then visited SLU the next day and committed to the Billikens.

This is true.... heard from a source who was there.

[BU freak]

Hard pass. He screwed us last time so no thanks. Get me Stefan Cicic.

[egib52]

seems to me that in the portal era, it just isn't any longer all that important to balance the classes. If you do get a talented freshman who quickly becomes a star, then you know he's going to be lured away. But then also - all the teams that do really well are those teams that are kind of IMBALANCED
and are senior & junior-heavy...
The teams with the most 24 & 25 years olds tends to be the team to beat in every mid-major conference.

Yoda beat me to the punch. I agree with this . Class balance doesn't matter because kids leave, experience and chemistry do.

[houstonbrave]

Zhang visited Bradley and did not commit, the next day on to SLU where he committed-so at one point we had strong interest.
