2026 and beyond recruits

Another new recruit who will be visiting Bradley this coming weekend-

2026 juco- Derrick "Keke" Rivers- 6'0" point guard at Dodge City Community College in Kansas. He is originally from St. Louis. As a freshman, he averaged 13.1 ppg and shot 36.3% from three. In 13 games this season, he is averaging 22.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, and 3.5 apg. He is shooting 38.1% overall and 27.6% from three. He will be visiting Bradley for the Sunday afternoon game with Southern Illinois.

Are we expecting Bully to get poached? I thought we were good at PG. We need an impact big over a guard.
 
in BW's recent interview on "the john" he talked about asking his recruits to give him 2 years and then see where they're at. I think we'll be lucky to keep JJ after this year, but then again there won't be too many high $ commits to keep with us so maybe hotb can get him paid.
 
recruiting sub-6-ft guards has been a truly great game plan, since they tend not to get poached as much by the P-5 guys,

...which helped Darrell Brown, Duke Deen, & Jaquan all staying (so far) at BU (and Keifer Sykes stuck with Coach Wardle at UW-GB)
... while the taller guys (Roberts, Hickman) got poached.
 
What a shame that would be if Jaquon decides to leave after this year. Am sure I speak on behalf of all BU fans to have him stay and graduate from Bradley. I for one believe he has another to level he has yet to reach on his potential. Here is hoping he stays. If by chance he looks at the posts here on the forum, he knows the fans wish him to stay.

I heard couple Bradley coaches stopped in to see Cooper Knowles at the Macomb tournament. Stayed and talked to him after the game. No offer that I am aware of, word is he has some upcoming visits to other schools this month.

I'm hearing the coaches really like Cooper Knowles (West Hancock HS). He keeps getting better and I think there's a chance he could end up at Bradley.
Here are a few highlights of his first game in the Macomb Tournament, when he scored 29 points. West Hancock won the tournament and Knowles was named the tournament MVP.

2026- Will Goode- 6'9" forward. He was a 2025 player we profiled in the past and he had an offer from Bradley, along with multiple other D1 offers. But he is still uncommitted, and Bradley is still in contact. - https://verbalcommits.com/players/will-goode
He might be planning on reclassifying to a 2026 recruit.
Bradley did offer Will Goode last year, when he was HS senior, but he never committed anywhere in the interval. There are reports he is currently at New Hampton School (prep school) and is a 2026 recruit.
BUT - here's their 2025-26 Varsity roster, and he is not listed - LINK
His social media that was once very active, now hasn.t had anything added in over a year.
He took several visits to solid midmajors back in 2024, including Drake, Vermont and had an offer from UIC, ISU, UNI, and Valpo.
Maybe he's still on our radar?

as noted elsewhere- Noah Williams - LINK
is visiting Bradley and altho not officially reported, if he's coming from juco in Kansas for a campus visit
it is a strong likelihood that he already has a Bradley offer.

The NCAA removed the maximum limit of 5 official visits a couple years ago, and now recruits are allowed an unlimited number of official visits.
However, recruits are limited to one visit to any specific school. (Exception: Recruits can take two official visits to the same school, but not in the same academic year)

What's Covered by an Official Visit (Paid by School):
  • Transportation to/from campus.
  • Lodging for the recruit and parents.
  • Meals (three per day for recruit/parents).
  • Entertainment, including tickets to a sporting event.
