2025 and beyond recruits

[yoda]

A couple more potential transfers-
....

D1 portal- Doctor Bradley- 6'8" forward at Arkansas-Pine Bluff. He averaged 19.6 ppg and 9.5 rpg this season....

FWIW-- we ought to be heavily pursuing a big, athletic post player who goes aggressively after rebounds.

a couple examples - altho obviously I don't know all the factors, whether they'd want to consider Bradley, or their academics, of
course that would be up to our staff, or whether better players are available in the portal.

This kid's best offer right now is Tennessee Tech (20ppg/11rpg) - LINK

another with only one DI offer, who is averaging 20 ppg & 11 rpg - LINK

and there are several more - hope we can land a couple. If you saw how McNeese dismantled Clemson, it was the size & athleticism up front. They decisively outrebounded (and 18 offensive rebounds) a much bigger team.

Seems like a no-brainer choice, Cooper. You know you want to be a Brave!

His chances of playing more minutes are greater at Bradley.

I’m hearing that Cooper is going to try for a medical redshirt this year as he only played in 10 games before being shut down. I’m sure Zobs has been talking to him

I know Cooper will be contacted! He's a local player who may want to play in Peoria! I know will score some players in the portal. Just 1 transfer from Iowa or Rutgers would be sweet! haha

[yoda]

Any chance we are in contact with Cooper Koch?

I'm thinking we'll give the guy a call... or maybe ask Matthew Zobrist to give him a call, too

Saw Alex Huibregtse in Myrtle Beach.. good player but only 1 year left .. shoots it well with range and quick release

We need to go after one year players if they are a good fit and have proven to be able to play at this level. Having to recruit your own players year after year means there is nothing wrong bringing in good ones that will be here a short time. This really comes down to if they are good enough to help your team out immediately. That is the new blue print in college sports. Do not like it but have to live with now.
