2025 and beyond recruits

[bradleyfan124]

The one plus for recruiting HS players.. If the power 5 is taking mid-major players and only the cream of the crop HS guys, then a fair numbers of talented players who might never have considered a mid-major may look at one (or Juco to prove themselves worthy). Of course the trick is keeping them.

Yes!! Exactly!

I agree.. Thats kind of my point. There should be some very qualified high school players available but like you said the downside if they make a splash then they will get noticed and might want to transfer.. Either way I feel the NCAA needs to get a handle on all this transferring. It is decimating teams

I think the new problems it's creating with egos, jealousy, and players just plain not working out as planned is going to end up biting them in the butt. What is going to end up happening is the power conference teams that don't find success in this current system will start pushing for change eventually. That's my prediction.

I think we'd be better off veering away from high school players unless we feel they can make a real difference right away. Otherwise, we just turn into training facilities for the Power 5. I'd like to see them focus more on upper classmen transfers.

Another positive note about transfers. Alot of open slots at all the different teams are being filled by transfers there should be some good quality high school players that will available because the number of opportunities for them are narrowing

I get chasing Kennedy to shore up PG, but O'Neil sounds like a great fit. We need 3 pt shooting, and athleticism. If he has that many blocks one would hope he is athletic.

Sound like a perfect replacement for Mast if he doesn't come back

A few new names from the transfer portal that Bradley has been in contact with. There will probably be others-

Marquise Kennedy- 6'1" senior guard who just finished his 4th season at Loyola, and entered the transfer portal yesterday (Wed. 3/15). Bradley offered him out of Chicago Brother Rice High School in 2019.
https://twitter.com/portal_updates/s...74343338848257
Kennedy has been a part-time starter for Loyola for 4 seasons, but he had his best season as a freshman, when he shot 51.4% overall and 38% from three. He has been less consistent the last 3 seasons. Other MVC teams are also recruiting him.
He has 1 season of eligibility left as a grad-transfer for his Covid season.

I hope they come back for some "unfinished business"

Yes!

[OhRotanes]

Well, JaShon can't come back and Malevy has already stated he is, so that leaves Rienk and Ville. That's good news in my book! Would be nice to have one more year with both of them. Who replaces the toughness we lose with JHen, though? He is one of a kind!

At least two seniors that say in the paper they haven’t made up their minds.
