he is a lot like Jalen Crawford, slightly bigger, from Detroit... but hopefully a better outside shooter...

[Da Coach]

Congratulations Kendahl- Welcome to Bradley!

Still need shooters, rebounders, and backup pg

The starting back court is looking pretty good right now. We need more but this is a good thing!

Great start welcome to the hilltop Kendahl. Backcourt looking pretty good. Now lets get some help with the bigs.

Walt left some big shoes to fill, here's a start! Welcome to the Hilltop Kendahl!

Kendahl looks to have a nice consistent shot...off the dribble or off the screen...welcome to BU!

Amerson could turn into another Will Franklin - I am anxious to see how he does.....
it is difficult to find a list of other schools that were recruiting him since Amerson is not tracked in the major databases...he has come onto the scene rather recently.
I scoured several different Gonzaga and UNLV sites...and not one mention of Amerson among their fans or their recruiting forums and nothing comes up when you google Kendahl Amerson & Gonzaga or UNLV...
Time will tell, but I definitley don't like reloading every year with whatever juco recruits are still left out there in April...we have to begin rebuilding with quality 4-year recruits.


Then there was this Dave Reynolds comment...and I think he knows more than he's saying...
"But more openings on the roster are likely to occur this spring."


could it mean we are also in on his teammate Jelani Neely?

[Da Coach]

Here are his stats from this past season at Eastern Utah (now named University of Southern Utah-Eastern)-

Walt left some big shoes to fill, here's a start! Welcome to the Hilltop Kendahl!

Walt had a nice career here but I'm not so sure his shoes will be that hard to fill. Yes his numbers more than likely won't be filled by one person but I think the trade off will be a more team, everyone gets involved , team oriented game. Something we did not see and our results showed it. Not saying our results were his fault because our staff let him display his talents in the way that he did. I for one, hope not to see that brand of basketball for a long time. Very hard to watch.
