Bradley Secret Scrimmage

Bradley played a closed scrimmage against Bowling Green last week. The details, format and the outcome are pretty confidential but
I am trying to get a few tidbits. BGSU is coming off a good 18-win year, averaging 81.3 ppg which would have placed among the top-3 in the MVC.
They clobbered Kansas State and played close to Michigan State (within 3 pts in the final 8 minutes).
However, they also have a huge turnover of players this year and a lot of new guys. One of their returning players is a guy Bradley offered

Why the secret when these exb, games can be posted now plus you are allowed to have fans. I know with all the new players on our team the fans would have liked to see more of them in person. The RC could have charged $10 a ticket and made a little money.

I am going to assume a couple things here. I assume the Bowling Green scrimmage was played before Media day Wednesday. I re listened to the interviews with Wardle and the players. They were asked what players stood out so far. They were asked what players would help them this year. I am thinking they would mention players that are the most recent play. Since Bowling Green was the most recent then Treyvon, Xander, Kyle, Ben, Noah played well in the exhibition game
 
there is reason to believe our guys played optimistically

the reason to do closed scrimmages is because some coaches experiment in these scrimmages with different & new lineups,
possibly to work on or "expose" weak spots or deficiencies, & practice special or situational plays that might be saved and
used later. They don't want anyone of our future opponents seeing them.
Lots of teams do it, and anyway we are playing two open, public scrimmages, so fans really don't have too much to feel
disappointed about. I trust our coaches used the "secret scrimmage" to our best advantage.
