Ville leaving

Coach Wardle has met with the players this morning, after they had all returned from spring break.
As previously reported, Rienk Mast is in the transfer portal with the intent to transfer or return to the Netherlands and play pro.
Malevy Leons is considering the transfer portal.
Ville Tahvanainen is not going to return for his extra season of eligibility. That closes his Bradley career with 877 points and 179 career three pointers (36.3%).
Have not heard of anyone else leaving at this time.

Good luck Ville and thanks!

I'd be pretty upset if Leons went to the transfer portal after saying he was coming back. I just kinda assumed Ville and Mast were gone. I thank them for what they've done at Bradley. I just hope Leons doesn't go back on his word
 
So far, everything that's happened has been reported here first. So the sources must be good.
But for what it's worth, not hearing anything about BW leaving.... So far.
 
I hope if Wardle is leaving we no sooner than later.Fans have a right to know what is going on.Let us hear it from the University,not on the news as a big surprise.
 
The only thing constant is change, if we're going to continue to be fans we may as well get used to it. It's only fair to the players, no regular student on an academic scholarship would be stopped going to another school. Coaches had been leaving teams for more money forever.
 
Thanks Ville! Was a pleasure watching you play on the Hilltop. Your leadership and encouragement were apparent this year and we will miss seeing you on the court. Best of luck to you in the future young man!

Thank you Ville. Your extraordinary effort was evident throughout your career. We will be cheering your professional career from afar. Don’t be a stranger.
 
Ville was always a favorite of mine. What a great attitude! He will have success wherever he goes because of his attitude and effort and we were fortunate to have him as a Brave.
 
Thank you Ville for all you have done for the BU program. I wish you would have stayed for one more year buy I totally understand your reason to achieve your professional goals. Best of luck and always remember " Once a Brave always a Brave."
 
Congratulations on your many contributions, Ville. Your 6 for 6 three point shooting performance against Murray State was a highlight of this season! I'm very pleased that we, the home fans, were able to witness your record tying effort. I'm sure you will never forget the Ville!, Ville!, Ville!, Ville! chants from the crowd!
