  • DC mentioned earlier that Bradley had contact with a Milwaukee player in the portal. That player's season was already over. Whether he comes to Bradley is not known to fans. Now they could be talking about someone else. I didn't catch the game today.

    • I'm so excited about next year! We have a great recruiting class coming! Add a very good Portal Player(s) and now we are talking!!! I want us to be as good as Drake! I want us to be a high Mid Major team! I'm just so excited for BU fans to be able to root for a local Peoria Player!!!! This makes next year all the more exciting! I'm not saying this year wasn't fun, but next year will be Unique with D.Richardson playing in Peoria!!!! I can't wait! Maybe he can help Bring Bradley Back to the MVC Championship game and even win it!!!! I wish next year was already here!

        I am too. We lose some good players with experience but our recruiting is shaping up to be very talented. They will have to go thru a learning curve but I think the talent level on the team will be raised quite abit

          Seems we’re stacked at guard for next season. Question will be what we do to replace Darius and CD. Let’s hope we find some gems in the portal, or better yet, get CD back for another year (is that possible? I can’t keep up with the craziness of rule changes in the NCAA anymore).

          I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

          • I think we need a couple versatile wings. I still think we need more athleticism.

              We need more guys that get downhill and attack the bucket somebody that can take his guy off the dribble when needed, and IMO we need multiple people like that. Think Bully's mindset but at 6'5" or better. Zek and CD, as much as I love them, are not that...Zek is more back to the bucket, but it doesn't produce free throws or get the defense rotating to help like a quick bucket attack does...we need guys who can get by that first defender and cause havoc. I think Richardson will be like that as he adds strength, we need another one.

              Also, need, need, need a glass cleaner.....but one at 6'8" or better....We havn't had one in a while.

                Totally agree. We were most successful yesterday when we were attacking the rim, and putting pressure on them.

                  Yeah, Hannah finally figured out that if he continues towards the bucket all the way, that he's tough to stop....seems like for most of the season hed take that first step then turn his back to the defender and let him recover....hes quick and so long that if he just keeps driving hes more than likely going to be able to absorb the bump and finish with his length. I thought Darius really came on in this tourney...just ran out of gas.

                  I also think we gave up on Meta too early in the Drake game...both by not feeding him more when he was in as well as limiting his playing time.

                    The unfortunate thing about Darius is that I think he stayed to become a wing player and BW honored that. If he would have played more like Childs or Walker he could have been in the running for POY.

                    • Agree with previous post as we are set at the guard position. I like the term of glass eaters instead of glass cleaner. Anyway we so desperately need players that can drive to the basket and score. If they miss them be able to play like junkyard dogs and get the fair share of rebounds. Staff knows what we need. Now just hope they can find them and have them sign to play at BU. Meta should be even more improved next year. But he is not a 30 minute guy. That being the case, staff must find what what we need. Has been discussed before about having players riding the bench without much contribution. BU can not do that again if they wish to get to the next level. Those are my thoughts. Anyone else want to put their two cents in.

                      • The Staff and BW know what we need! The question is if we're not getting anymore high school recruits, we must score Big in the Portal! For DaCoach: How Successful do you think Bradley will be in the Portal? Can we score a 4☆ Portal Player as Center or power forward? That to me is the experience will need with our Freshman class to put us in position to get to March Madness! As great as a freshman class we are getting, it's likely going to be more then a year for them to get experience! We need a 4☆ and a 3☆ in the portal I believe!

                          We do not need anymore high school recruits, we need inside MEN. Transfers or JUCOS that have experience that are looking to upgrade their team. I want more athletic wings like another J.Henry type that can rebound and score inside. I also want a 6-8 PF. that can also rebound . We were not a good rebounding team this year , that needs to change moving forward. We supposedly have the most NIL money so we need to put it too good use and find better players this spring.
                          Last recruiting class we brought in Thomas, Van der Knaap, Thomas and Dillon. One of these players made a big difference but the others not so much.We need to do better.

                          • I think you meant to include Bully in last year's recruits.

                            • Bradley has been in contact with Creighton Morisch, a 6'10" senior center at University of Sioux Falls, a D2 school in Sioux Falls, SD. He is one of approximately 250 Division II players who have already entered the Division II Transfer portal.
                              In 28 games this season, he averaged 14.1 ppg, and 10.9 rpg. He shot 51.9% overall and 34.1% from three. He also lead the team in assists (3.6 apg) and blocks (1.7 bpg).

                              >> https://usfcougars.com/sports/mens-b...n-morisch/7883

                              There are other transfer portal players who have also been in contact with Bradley.
