Wow... I understand it is a highlight tape but that was impressive. This late in the recruiting game for next year I would consider Ronnie and Dwayne good signings with plenty off upside! Great work Coach Wardle and staff.Comment

Was at the Bradley baseball game and got a chance to talk with some who have seen this kid play...
He is an outstanding talent - a 6-2 combo guard from London who at 18 years of age is playing on the Bristol Flyers averaging
4 ppg for all games but 8.6 ppg since January when he has played regularly, 2.4 apg and 31.1% on 3-point shooting as backup PG to 27-year old pro Greg Streete.
(the international 3-point line is 22 ft-1 3/4 inches -
(which is almost 1 ft-5 inches further than the NCAA line)
He is getting better every game and in his most recent game just last week - he started and scored 19 points & had 4 rebs, 4 asst, 2 steals
...and in his last 4 games (that he has started all four) - he's averaged 13.3 ppg (remember - this isn't a junior team, it is a top pro league team!)
one other note - Lautier-Ogunleye has always wanted to play college ball so he has never taken money or any salary and has kept necessary records such that it will not be an issue.
here are some highlights - he is #6 - fast fwd to just over 1:00 for one highlight play - plus on the right margin are lots of other highlight videosComment

Looks like he's got a nice stroke from 3pt land and deep range.Comment

we gotta get a nickname...
DLO (his twitter name)
D-gun
Dunking Dwayne (check out the guy's posterizing dunks - LINK - LINK and here's the other one - similar - LINK)
plus notice the writer's name in this nice article about Dwayne
"Bradley Gains" - very prophetic...
talk is that any further verbals might come a few days from now...Comment

Nearly all his shots in those highlight vids were from well behind the international 3-point distance. He's got a nice stroke.
Verbal Commits-

They play this Thursday vs. Newcastle to open the playoffs...Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
Dwayne should be back in Bristol by then...
this article gives credit to Dwayne
This is a new team playing in their first season in the BBL
NCAA rules changed just a couple years ago to allow players who retain their amateur status to play in NCAA D-I no matter what club team they played on

I'm glad that documentation is available. The NCAA has not always been too kind to Bradley regarding the qualification of foreign players.Comment

It depends on which country his high school credits and transcripts are coming from. I don't think the NCAA generally has problems with kids from Great Britain, where transcripts are easily documented. Other countries, especially African countries, the NCAA is a lot more skeptical.Originally posted by LongTimeFan View PostComment
