I noticed that, too. That senior-heavy roster is one reasons Bradley should be one of the top, if not the top, team in the MVC in 2024-25. But it depletes the roster the following year (2025-26). It appears as of now, that only 5 players are on target to return in 2025-26 (Atlason, Jonovic, Burch, Johnson, and van der Knapp). None of them are likely to be among Bradley's top contributors in '24-'25. Hopefully, our coaches land 2 or 3 more transfers with the open scholarships this spring, who have more than one season of eligibility left. Otherwise, it looks like '24-'25 could be a rebuilding season.

Yes the 3 open scholarships are very important to not only this season but the next one as well. I would like to get players that have at least 2 years left at Bradley. Hoping we get at least one committed by the weekend.

Not that we ultimately need to be worrying about 2025-26 right now, but that is a ton of scholarships to fill. Hopefully over the course of the year we get some really great guys for that team but it's a little scary seeing how "final year" heavy we are.

Maybe Burch and JJ will be a superstar crew though and we can just build around them. Atlason also has a ton of potential - guys don't always get it year one but you can tell when they have talent.

Yes we are going to be Senior heavy next year. With all these transfers filling spots there should be some good high school players available. Be nice to bring them in and ease them into the college game

Bradley currently has 3 open scholarships for 2024. One current scholarship player does have a possible extra Covid year (Linke), but more likely he will not be on scholarship next season.

The 3 open scholarships are the green slots in the 2024-25 column-

Ok Good. I do not want anybody else to leave. Thanks for the info.

Makes me wonder if somebody else is leaving. They had all their scholarships filled except one for a bigman
