How many of the past 25 Illinois Mr. Basketball players have Bradley been able to recruit?
Of course the answer is zero....I don't think that question will fool too many people, but here is the followup question..........
What schools did the past 25 Illinois Mr. Basketball go to?
(note that none of them have been stolen by Kelvin Sampson and only one each have gone to John Calipari and Bill Self)
here is the answer..........
University of Illinois got eight - none since 2002 and only one since 1999
(Dee Brown, Brian Cook, Frank Williams, Sergio McClain, Jerry Gee, Deon Thomas, Marcus Liberty, and Nick Anderson)
LSU got one (Jamie Brandon)
DePaul got one (Howard Nathan)
Wisconsin got one (Rashard Griffith)
Michigan State got one (Shannon Brown)
Kansas got one (Julian Wright)
Duke got two (John Scheyer, Chris Collins) - although they also got the committment from Shaun Livingston before he went to the NBA
Memphis got one (Derrick Rose)
Indiana got three (Eric Anderson, Brian Sloan, Marty Simmons - although Simmons didn't stay at IU)
Iowa got one (Ed Horton)
Five didn't go to college (Shaun Livingston, Eddie Curry, Darius Miles, Ronnie Fields, Kevin Garnett)
Lastly, there are 12 Division I college basketball teams in Illinois, and none except U of I & DePaul have ever landed an Illinois Mr. Basketball.
(U of I, Northwestern, DePaul, Northern Illinois, Southern Illinois, Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Bradley,
Illinois State, Loyola, Illinois-Chicago, Chicago State - and soon SIU-Edwardsville will be D-I)
Does anyone know if Bradley has ever landed a "Mr. Basketball from another state?
