I approve this recruit based solely on the fact that we could have Tyler and Taylor Brown on the same team.

Bradley coaches have watched Tyler Brown a couple times. Unfortunately for Tyler's team, they lost in the NJCAA playoffs to Paris Gully's Southeastern team.
He's originally from Owensboro, Kentucky

Here are a couple recent articles-

He's a similar player to Justin Clark and Trey Blue. he likes to shoot a lot.

He can shoot all he wants if he can keep that up; 13th best scorer in D-I

5 new guards on next year's roster...

[Da Coach]

He sounds like a good one, and I know Jim Les liked him enough to go watch him play 4 different times.

He is not a great shooter, but he takes a ton of shots- 452 in 30 games- over 15 shots per game. That is more than anyone in the MVC averaged (Only 1 player in the Valley averaged more than 11.8 shots per game). In fact, only a couple dozen players nationally in D1 averaged 15+ shots per game.
He only shoots 36% from three, and that is with the shorter juco 3-point line.

 

[45otseoj]

36% would put him 2nd in 3pt% behind only JW.

Kudos to Jank for his recruiting message.

I'd bet we don't start a single returning guard at the 1 or 2.

 

[Future Walk-On]

why can't he shoot FT's?
