There have been a number of junior college showcase events the last couple months and our coaches have attended several of them.

It appears the coaches do not want to fill too many of the open scholarships with high schoolers. Bradley loses a lot of scoring and rebounding with Darius, Zek, Duke, Davis, Connor Linke, Goanar Biliew, and Connor Dillon in their final year. So it is smart to land a couple juco big men to team up with Corey Thomas, Almar, and Timo and/or another guard or two to team with Demarion, Jaquan, Matthew Zobrist, and Montana Wheeler. The transfer portal is also a potential souce to fill gaps if the recruiting leaves any scholarships still open at the end of the season.

That makes sense
 
Yes we need to recruit more experienced players for 2025 because we will be losing a lot of good ones after this season. Jucos and transfers are important in being able to compete the next few seasons.
 
New names-
2025 Miles Newton- 6'5" SG at the Breck School, a prep school in Golden Valley, Minnesota. He is from Eden Prairie, MN.

2025 Timo George- 6'7" wing at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. He is originally from the Netherlands. H3 played on the Netherlands U20 team this past summer in the FIBA European Championships and averaged 12.3 ppg & 7.3 Rebs.

Timo's youtube highlights actually show him defending! Usually these highlights focus on dunks...unguarded dunks. Looks like a good 3 and D prospect.

Bradley recruit Simm-Marten Saadi just committed to Drake - https://x.com/SimmSaadi/status/1855040215217586673
 
We need some athletic rebounders and rim protectors. Thomas may prove to be one but we need more than one.

Recruited players Nick Allen and Saadi went to other valley schools.

I agree on needing another center and 2 athletic forwards that can rebound and score. I prefer proven JUCOS or transfers because of experience. I would go after freshman bigs 2025-2026.

He'd have been a good one to add to the 3 recruits we have coming in. We need a commitment from a big.

in most years, yes, but I'm thinking that we've likely already filled our "quota" of high school recruits.
I have to think any further scholarships will be filled by experienced players from juco or the portal.

I'm okay with that. I don't care where they come from as long as they fill our needs.
