One of the players Bradley has interest in is junior college sophomore Kalif Wright, a 6'6" 225 pound small forward at Kilgore Junior College in Kilgore, Texas.
He averaged 7.3 ppg and 4.8 rpg as a freshman there last year.

does it seem odd that every player Bradley is connected with - we also see Kent State & Drake connected with

I don't think so. I get the impression that Geno has a specific type of player that he prefers, especially at the 3/4. Since kent state hired Geno's top assistant, it's not shocking that his recruiting would be similar to Geno's. Looks like ray is going the same route . I hope drake gets stronger each year, just like we have under Geno. A strong valley from top to bottom is good for us all.

he appears to be a 6-6 PF with production numbers along the line of what Chris Blake put up in juco

Kalif Wright...

Just what we need...Another "ho-hum" 6'6" forward from a JC. When will our coaches learn that these kind of players are not going to rebuild BU into a winner.

Part of it could depend on who is back next year.
