Sorry, watching two JC games and trying to read your posts at the same time didn't work too good.

245 and 250 sound like college-ready bodies.

Those two jucos, Gaston and South Georgia Tech are both Division I in the NJCAA, but they are not highly ranked teams. But both these big men look pretty good.
 
Mbole looks like the physical rebounder that BU needs. Siler looks like he can handle the ball and in the video DC linked he took and made shots from around the key. Mbole's video seemed show mainly dunks. Dunk were impressive. Wardle does have his centers handling the ball quite a bit on the weave. Of course this was based solely on the links and my uneducated opinion.
 
I suspect he'd contact all the coaches himself who had previously offered if he's still interested
 
Any chance Brian Wardle and staff have been keeping an eye on Richwoods product Jared Jackson?

He’s quietly putting together a really solid sophomore season at Lincoln Trail College. Jackson’s averaging 15 PPG on 52.5% shooting, 38.3% from three, and 80% at the line, along with 5.5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.

What stands out to me is the efficiency and two-way play. He’s always been known as a good defensive piece, but he’s developed a legitimate scoring package now. He is efficient from the field, reliable from deep, and capable of making plays for others.

Local kid, productive JUCO numbers, and clearly trending upward. Feels like the type of player worth keeping on the radar.
 
Not heard or seen anything to suggest Bradley is following him, but I'm sure there are lots of contacts I don't hear about.
 
The next two months will be the biggest span of chaos and frenzy in the DI recruiting world, as 2000
or so kids will hit the portal, another 1500 run out of eligibility and every DI coach will be working 24/7
to research who is available, contact the ones that look like good targets, review video and hand out offers.
We probably only hear about 5-10% of what goes on in the DI recruiting world and how intense & laborious
it is.
Bradley did pretty well out of the portal last year- two full time starters & big contributors (Alex & AJ) plus Kai Yu.
I am anxious to see how well we do this year- gotta get a couple bigs and shooters.

Anyone remember that Bradley did not land Malevy Leons until May of 2021, really late in the spring after he had
already finished two great seasons at junior college. How in the world NJCAA National Player of the Year was still
hanging out there uncommitted that late into the spring is a stumper but our staff was on him and landed him.
Let's get that kind of success again this spring!
