2025 and beyond recruits

How many hours does Linke have to take to be a full-time student at Bradley? I heard he has a couple of courses for his engineering degree but one is not scheduled until spring. However this is just through the grapevine.

Da Coach said:
Icelandic recruit Tomas Thrastarson's season ended a week ago when his team Thor Thorlakshofn in the Icelandic pro league was eliminated from the playoffs. Tomas was one of the top players on his team, finishing the season with an average of 17.0 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 2.4 apg. He shot 62.4% on two pointers, and 31.4% from three. Not bad considering he is an amateur, just 18 years old, and the youngest player on the team. He's playing against mostly veteran pros who are in their 20's and 30's.

Roster- https://basketball.eurobasket.com/team/Thor-Thorlakshofn/4206?Page=1

He seems to be the type of player Coach Wardle was describing that he was looking for with the next scholarship.
Not sure how seriously Bradley is still recruiting him, but maybe he'll be invited to make a visit.
