[Da Coach]

Bradley has offered a scholarship to a class of 2017 point guard Nojel Eastern. It is his first D1 offer. He is a left hander who has started to get attention from some high majors.
Nojel Eastern just finished his freshman year at Evanston HS. His coach is former Richwoods coach Mike Ellis.

He plays for the Meanstreets AAU program. They have him listed at 6'3", but I believe he not quite that tall, but he still has plenty of time to grow.-

Yea!

I know our last coach offered him a scholarship but have not seen anywhere where Coach Wardle has offered. Even tho he broke his ankle, he still holds offers from Illinois, Purdue, Seton Hall, UNLV and it does say Bradley.

[Da Coach]

Michigan State has offered Nojel Eastern

Nojel Eastern - at one time getting many high major offers...
is still uncommitted and reportedly due to a significant injury he had last summer - many of the big boys have backed way off...
but he is just 16 years old and still improving...

in a new interview- he still mentions his offer from Bradley...but a recent Tribune column does not mention BU

[Da Coach]

One-time BU recruit Nojel Eastern rose to become one of the top 2017 recruits in Illinois, and was heavily recruited. He committed to Purdue today.
