felt like this all took forever . But we are lookin good.

This coaching staff has clearly demonstrated their ability to find talent that other schools have not found. The pleasant problem facing the coaching staff this fall is how to get playing time for a very talented group of players. If the ticket office can get the word out about the quality of this years team we should see a significant increase in season ticket sales. We could also be looking at a 24-25 games won season.

I agree. It's not out of the realm of possibilities that we'll see one of the newcomers redshirt... probably one of the freshmen.

This could be a clue that Ja'Shon Henry might wear #32-

The last played to wear #32 was Mike Shaw in the 2015-16 season.


Ja'Shon wore #11 in high school, but that number is retired and not an option (Mitchell Anderson's number- retired Feb. 6, 1999)-

I agree. It's not out of the realm of possibilities that we'll see one of the newcomers redshirt... probably one of the freshmen.

I sure hope not, in this era of hundreds of graduate transfers. Too often that 5th year benefits someone else. Plus you never know what's going to happen. I'm excited to see what Brummett can do, even if he starts out with limited minutes.

I love this signing, and I've really been impressed with this staff when it comes to recruiting. Of the 4 players we've signed, I really like the incoming freshman. Bile is a wildcard to me, and as of 4 days ago, I was a little disappointed in this class. Don't get me wrong, I think Brummett will be a very good addition, and I'm sure Bile will be fine, but compared to previous years, this class just wasn't getting me excited. Now knowing that Boya will be here and getting Henry on board makes me really excited and optimistic.

The only thing I worry about is keeping everyone happy. Now, I think most of guys are pretty unselfish, and who really only care about winning (Wardle wouldn't have brought them in otherwise), but we've got all but 2 rotation players coming back (and only one leaving player who was getting consistently high minutes) and we are adding 5 players to the team (counting Pittman). There won't be that many minute to go around, so someone who played a lot before or some of the new guys won't be on the court as much as they'd like. Now if this is our biggest problem, then it's a good thing, especially compared to the problems we have had for the last 8 years or so, but it is a little worrisome. Ultimately, though, I just can't wait for next season.

Chibears- it is hard to predict - and there's always someone who might be unhappy with playing time...and if they don't want to work for it, or sacrifice like Pittman did or improve to deserve it, then they ought to seek playing time elsewhere. I really don't see that happening...

...instead, I see every one of these guys as having a distinct role in the future and most of them were kinda "under the radar" and not all that highly pursued by anyone else....so it would appear there's every reason they might be thrilled to be at Bradley, playing in the MVC........ perennially one of the Top 10 conferences in Division I
