This is interesting....
Belmont gets a very late commitment for 2025 from a 6-10 Gonzaga transfer who redshirted in 2024-25 at Gonzaga,
and appears to have four years of eligibility
He was a walk-on at Gonzaga for 2024-25, his freshman year there.
Graydon Lemke
He played 2 minutes in one of Gonzaga's exhibitions last year and was 0-2, scoreless, no rebounds.
Bio
Here's an interesting Bradley connection....
Newly hired Bradley assistant coach Bobby Suarez, who was an assistant last year at Portland Univ.
coached Graydon Lemke's brother Coleman Lemke at Portland last year (0.8ppg, 0.5rpg). Coleman is also transferring and is still in the portal.
