One-time Bradley recruit Luke Walsh has committed to SIU - https://x.com/LukeWalsh1414/status/1815546682525855856
I suspect Walsh was no longer a high priority to BU coaches since the commitment of Matthew Zobrist.

I'm not sure this constitutes a commitment yet, since he adds four question marks. But he seems to like Bradley. And I suspect his mom would like to see him stay at home. :)

I really really hope we can keep him HOME! This would mean so much to the city of Peoria! It's been far to long since BU was able to keep a very good talent home! This could start a trend in our favor for years to come! I've always known Peoria has had as good a talent as most of the country. I always thought how great Bradley would have consistently been in these later years if only we could keep the talent!!!! Peoria is a great city now which of course wasn't always the case! I hope Coach never gives up a chance especially in this transfer portal to get excellent talent back home!

To be fair, unlike the 1990's and early 2000's, there has not been a great deal of D1 talent coming out of Peoria high schools in recent years.
What Peoria players would fans have liked Bradley to get in recent years that they didn't offer and 1) that were not high-major recruits and that they had a realistic chance to land and 2) were difference-makers and would have made BU better?

This would be great for him and Bradley if he chooses to play for the Braves. Him and Zobrist would make for a great pair of guards on our team. It is so important to have good guards in the Valley. I do not think though he has made his choice because of the question marks. Whatever it takes to finalize the deal needs to happen soon.
 
You have to think Bradley is the odds on Favorite to land Leshawn. However, one never knows. One of those other schools may sway him away. I have to believe Bradley did its best to get him no matter the outcome.
 
I’ve got no basis on this but I would think Stowers would want to get away from home. Living in that area of town, I would think he would want to get out of Peoria. Zobrist is a different story as Metamora is about as far from central Peoria as you can get in terms of stability and culture. Not bashing anyone or anyone but just my opinion. I could see him going to ISU or SIU so his mom can still see all his games and see one for sure when they visit BU. I know his game is different from Zobrist but they are both off guards. Seems like they would be competing for minutes. Still hopeful we get him though! Love getting the local kids!
