Bradley commit for the 2020-21 season- Thomas Hall

Dead on, buddy. I have those concerns, too. This Coronavirus panic has gotten completely out of control and if they take away my one hobby, I'm not going to be a happy camper!

I agree too Tommy and think we will all have to agree that Bradley basketball allows us to tolerate winter a whole lot more!
 
With the addition of Thomas Hall to this year's recruiting class, if everyone stays healthy, the 2020-21 Bradley team will have 9 new players on the active roster (counting Riley Burger, Rienk Mast, Terry Nolan, and Kevin McAdoo who were never dressed or active for any game last year). That doesn't quite match Coach Wardle's first season at BU, when he had 11 new players, and 9 new freshmen. But it is still one of the largest incoming classes in memory.

Here is how the 2020-21 roster looks-
Seniors (2)- Danya Kingsby, Elijah Childs
Juniors (4)- Ari Boya, Ja'Shon Henry, Terry Nolan, Kevin McAdoo
Sophomores (4)- Antonio Thomas, Ville Tahvanainen, Sean East, Riley Burger*
Freshmen (5)- Rienk Mast, Jayson Kent, Darius Hannah, Connor Linke, Thomas Hall*
Red denotes new on this year's active roster
* non-scholarship

Assuming the player roster is set, there is one spot still open. Coach Wardle has not yet filled the Coordinator of Player Development and Video Operations spot that was left vacant by Kristof Kendrick leaving to become an assistant coach at Western Michigan.

Dave Reynolds has an article about Thomas Hall with some quotes from him and from Coach Wardle-
https://www.pjstar.com/sports/20200...-hall-flew-to-air-force-but-landed-at-bradley

For anyone who cannot access the article, it confirms what we reported earlier in this thread, that he will join Bradley as a preferred-walkon, he will have 4 full years of eligibility, he has added muscle (up to 225 lbs) and is a full 6'9" tall after his year at the Air Force Prep Academy, and that previous to his commitment to the AF Prep he had D1 offers from Stetson, NJIT, Little Rock and High Point.
There is also a mention that Ville Tahvanainen is now on campus at Bradley, and is isolating for a 2-week period before joining team activities.
 
Another really good article from Dave Reynolds. I've got to say, he's written some really good articles about BU over the last year and I'm starting to enjoy reading his stuff more and more.
