Man, lots of dynamics heading into next season. Coach Wardle going to have a lot of work to do.

Congrats to Mike! Some big holes need filling now....

I sure hope coach knew this was going to happen and has someone picked to replace these long time asst. coaches. We are in need of a great recruiter yet not sure that really makes much of a difference since money is the most contributing factor in getting players. Maybe we could use the extra money paid these guys on players. How do you get guys to come in on visits when you are shorthanded. Seems to be a bad situation.

Coach BW definitely has work to do now. I hope he has a good plan. Is there a top JUCO or DII coach with players he could bring?

It sounds like the coach already has a couple of coaches on the way. The question is, can they bring anyone with them?

[LongTimeFan]

I hope one is a real good recruiter.

It must have been pretty sudden. I heard he was still making calls to Bradley recruits yesterday.

Thankfully, they still have Pat Althoff and Mike Black. They are 2 of the brightest and hardest working assistants around.

He could have been trying to hand them off.

Anyone know if former Assistant Coach Brian Jones is available??

During the time Wardle and Bargen worked together Wardle had to know this was going to happen. Sounds like Wardle has two people possibly lined up to fill the spots. Hope they have good connections for recruiting purposes. Should be hearing news going forward on incoming recruits.
