Yes, I have heard terrible news if it is accurate. I have spent the last couple hours trying to confirm and have not been able to.Originally posted by carter View Post
The unconfirmed report I heard is that former Bradley player (2006-2008 ) Matt Salley has died at the young age of 37. I do not know the COD.
A couple tweets from earlier today from people in the Charlotte area who knew Matt-

Matt lived in the Peoria area for a while after graduating, and was also in the Chicago area for a short time. But then he eventually moved back to the area he grew up in, Charlotte/Mecklinburg, where he had become a playground legend
For anyone unfamiliar with Matt, here is his old bio page from 2007-2008, his senior season.

Wow, rest in peace Matt. Same age as me, and I remember his time at the hilltop very well. He and Zach really held down the post for Les for a couple years post Patrick.Thinking is the hardest work, that is why so few people do it. -Henry Ford
Yeah...I've been in college for a while now and I'm pretty sure that awesomest is not a word. -Andrew E.Comment

That is too sad. I loved Matt Sally’s game… he was one of those guys who played with a bad attitude in the best way possible. I think I remember Matt being with team Always a Brave early on too.Compete. Defend. Rebound. Win.Comment
