Here is another name that has surfaced that Bradley has offered a scholarship to. Ryne Smith is a 6'3" 170 pound shooting guard from Toledo Whitmer High School. He sounds like another sharpshooting guard in the same mold as Matt Roth.
Bradley's offer may have come in the past 10 days, since a Scout.com article from July 7, listed his offers and did not include Bradley.

A handful of mid-major schools were recruiting 2008 prospect Ryne Smith before the July recruiting period. But after a major scoring outburst at the adidas It Takes 5IVE Classic, practically every mid-major around the Midwest has offered the 6-foot-3, 170-pound shooting guard from Toledo (Ohio) Whitmer High School, and a handful of high majors are now tracking him.
Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan and Notre Dame are the high majors tracking Smith, while he is also considering offers from Akron, Bradley, UMass, Bowling Green and Eastern Michigan.
Faced with a potential decision between being a role player in the Big Ten or a star at the mid-major level, Smith said stability in the program is of the utmost importance.
"I'm looking for the best situation," he said. "My sister plays at Indiana and she has had three different coaches in the three years she has played there. I'm looking for stability in the program I'm going to play for. If the situation is right, and I'm a role player in the Big Ten then that is good enough for me."
A prospect who could certainly raise his stock by forgoing the early signing period and playing the season as an unsigned senior, Smith isn't interested in taking this route.
"No, I definitely want to get this over before my senior season," smith said.

Ryne Smith, a 6-3 shooting guard from Whitmer High School in Toledo, OH, told Scout.com's Evan Daniels at the adidas Take 5ive Classic that he has scholarship offers from Eastern Michigan and Fairfield and interest from Akron, Bowling Green, and Dayton. Smith, a member of the Class of 2008, won't have just two offers for long after the show he put on at the Take 5ive, though.

Toledo Whitmer's Ryne Smith is turning into one of the top shooters in the state with his stellar play for the Ohio Gators this summer. He's starting to get some high-majors following his play, and Dayton seems to be one of those that has made their presence known in this recruiting battle. "I'm very impressed with the coaching staff and their professionalism," Ryne's father and Toledo Whitmer head coach Bruce Smith said. "They've done a very nice job, they're very kind and informative."
The two of them visited Dayton's campus during the month of June, but the Flyers haven't offered as of yet.
