Man alive, are guards getting bigger or what? Seems like they're all 6'4" or taller anymore!

2021 names...

2020 Bradley recruit Alec Oglesby ended up at Cleveland State, where he played the 6th man role in his freshman year. He averaged 4.3 ppg in just 16 minutes per game, but he shot 43.3% from three. He has entered the Transfer Portal.

One-time Bradley recruit Alec Oglesby spent a year at Cleveland State, then transferred to UNC-Wilmington. As a sophomore at UNCW this season, he has missed a couple games due to illness and appeared in only 6 games. He just left the team and entered the Transfer Portal again reportedly for "non-basketball issues".
At Cleveland State, his numbers were pretty good for a freshman, but this year at UNCW, he has played very little and his numbers are not so good.

He was a 3-star recruit out of prep school, but it will be interesting to see where he ends up now.

Thanks DC, I knew I had heard Avila's name back when Kent was being recruited. If I remember correctly I think I remember reading comments that some thought Avila might not be athletic enough to be a high D1 player so that might give us a good chance to land him.

[Da Coach]

Wasn't he the more productive of the two players when he was playing with Kent?

Avila was just a sophomore when Jayson Kent was a senior at Oak Forest HS. Kent was the star of the team and the top scorer. He lead the team with 17.8 ppg, and 43.4% from three. But it was evident that Avila had the potential to become a fine player.

With Kent gone this past season, Robbie Avila became the top scoring option and averaged 25.5 ppg

One new name- this recruit was on an unofficial visit today (Sat. 10/5) at the Bradley open scrimmage at Renaissance Coliseum.

2021 James Dent- 6'4" shooting guard who is a junior at Springfield Southeast HS this year. He is an emerging talent who has not gotten much publicity yet, but that will probably change this season

We're hearing a number of new names, mostly prep school players for 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Here are a couple more 2021 names-

He seems like the type of 2-guard prospect Bradley might be interested in again.

A new name for 2021- Kamari McGee- a 6' point guard from Racine St. Catherine HS

A 2021 point guard that Bradley had followed but did not offer, and is no longer following after the commitment of Connor Hickman, Kamari McGee, has given an early verbal commitment to Brian Wardle's old school, Wisconsin Green Bay. Seems like a good recruit for their new head coach Will Ryan.

It is their 3rd commitment for 2021. The previous two-

Bradley recruit Kobe Johnson has trimmed his list to 5 finalists, and Bradley is not among them-
https://twitter.com/coreyevans_10/st...34166606643201

According to that graphic is is also now 6'5".
Seems like an odd mix of schools in his final 5.

Jadin Johnson had committed to Old Dominion.
