Kid is out of Eau Claire, WI, pretty close to the Minnesota area that Jim Les has recruited well.

I will be there in a month for annual summer week-long return to my home state...???We all want Bradley to win. If our methods and visions for that are different, then so be it. Don't ever attempt to tell me I am not a fan!??? -

Maybe Evan can come play against my next post player. We have a young man at Yuba College who just showed up. (no I didnt recruit him).Needless to say he just turned 16 yrs old, is from Nigeria, is a 4.0 student, wants to be a doctor, has never played basketball untill 3 months ago, and is 6'11 and 255 pounds and very athletic. He almost quit last night when Zach (who was in town playing) dunked on him so hard the kid didnt know what to do. I had to convince him to stay and that soon with work he will get him back someday. Zach had a great talk with the young man and had to explain to him where Bradley University was. The young man was in the weight room at 10am working hard so look for him to be a national recruit in 2 years IF he can convince dad that playing basketball is a good idea for his future.
good luck Evan!

Wow, not many coaches have that kind of luck. A 6'11" big man just happens to enroll at your college, and decides to walk-on and tryout for basketball.
What's the kid's name? We'll keep track of him.
Tell Zach to go easy on him.
I think Zach has a real good chance to lead the country in rebounding now that he is the main man. In the first part of the season, when Patrick O'Bryant was out for those first 8 games, Zach had some very good rebounding numbers.
He had that 15 rebound game (11 offensive) and 19 points against Western Kentucky, and the 11 rebound (7 offensive) and 11 point game against Butler. I think we'll see more of that next season.Comment

Zach has as much potential as Detroit's Ben Wallace.
Not a great shooting touch, but a ferocious attitude and rebounding ability.Comment
