Brian Snow just tweeted:

"Australian native Jayden Hodgson, a 6'3 G, has committed to Bradley per me knowing things."

Anyone else hear anything on this?
 
Some more info on Jayden Hodgson. Looks like Bradley Coach Brian Wardle got just what he wanted.
He won't be able to sign a Letter of Intent until next April.-

While Hodgson knows the NCAA isn’t the only path to the professional ranks, he has become somewhat of a hot commodity with a handful of school in the States.

Bradley University, San Francisco, Portland State, Southern Illinois and Grand Canyon are among the leading candidates to receive a visit from the young guard before he makes his decision.

This website has him ranked #11 in Australia's class of 2016. For comparison they had callum barker listed as #9 in the class of 2015 and they mention this years class is deeper than last year. Hopefully this means jayden will be a very good acquisition.

He looks like he might be among the top couple point guards for 2016.
I tried to find any evidence that Jayden Hodgson might know Callum Barker, and apparently they are familiar with each other.
They were both on the same Australian U19 Men??™s Training Camp Roster and would have spent some time together-

The only stats I can find on Jayden are from a pro developmental league, the SEABL, that he played in earlier in 2015. Amateurs are allowed to play if not compensated, but he would have been playing against mostly professionals-
http://www.foxsportspulse.com/comp_info.cgi?c=1-3363-0-345137-0&a=STATS&sgroup=scoring

In 14 games played, Jayden shot 41.9% (31-74) from the floor, 40% from three (12-30), 100% from the free throw line (12-12), and averaged 6.1 ppg.

Those numbers may not seem great, but again, he was playing against pros.
Callum Barker, who is a year older, was also playing in that league and is on that list of players, and here are Callum's numbers:
17 games played, 22-62 from the floor (35.5%), 0-2 from three (0%), 9-13 on FTs (69.2%), and 3.1 ppg.

He is currently 18 years old. His birthday is May 25, 1997.

their 3-point distance is 22.15 feet compared to 20.75 feet in the NCAA

I like how broad our recruiting efforts have been and I like that Coach Wardle has kept things really close to the vest as have our fans.

Maybe this kid is the next Matthew Dellavedova/Patty Mills!
