It is next year's recruiting class, 6 or 7 players, we need to worry about and not past results except as they pertain to the future. Last year's portal results will leave us shorthanded. We still have 8 offers out to high school players but it is unlikely that Alston, Hannah, and Richardson will be at Bradley with the schools that are offering.
Stowers would be a great start.

Why would you think that is a good thing, i hate when we lose recruits to other Valley teams. I understand it more when bigger schools get them yet cannot figure out why we would lose someone to Murray St. , Money?

Unfortunately we will find out how good of a player he will become and the same with Nick Allen.
The one I can think of is maybe Robbie Avila, and we don't know the full circumstances there or how hard Bradley really pursued him. Recall that in the fall of 2021, when Avila committed to Indiana State, Bradley had Rienk Mast coming off an All-Freshman Team season and runner-up to the Freshman of the Year award (2020-21). Rienk would go on to become a 1st team All-MVC player and lead BU in scoring and rebounding over the next 2 seasons before transferring. And at the point Avila committed, Rienk actually had 4 more seasons of eligibility ahead of him because of Covid. So, since they were similar players who played the same position, it's understandable that Avila wouldn't want to be Rienk's backup, and he decided to go elsewhere.

As always, recruiting is a bit of a crap shoot and especially at the mid-major level there are hits and misses.
Missouri State landed a similar kid a couple years back who was rated 4-STAR and Top 100 nationally, academically strong.
who turned down P-5 offers to play for Dana Ford. He even started early on as a freshman and was widely hyped, but didn't pan out.
In the end, he played five seasons with the benefit of his Covid year and scored a total of 144 pts for 3 different teams, and
because of a redshirt, he is currently in the portal with one more year left to play.

Comment: I haven't seen Tristian Ford play personally, but I have watched a lot of video and read evaluations by a number of recruiting bloggers.
He is a 6'4", thin, shoot-first point guard that has been very impressive in high school and in summer events. He played for Rockford Boylan his first couple years in high school, then moved to Chicago Prep. He seems smart, and makes pretty good passes, but is not yet a deadeye shooter. I would guess that our coaches liked him, but he is not the prototypical type of player that Coach Wardle likes at point guard. He would probably be more of an off-guard in Wardle's system, and that might be why he preferred Murray State. Bradley already has a commitment from Matt Zobrist, who recruiting sites rate as one of the top 2-guards and best shooters in the state in the class of 2025.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Leshawn Stowers. I really hope we get him, I think it would be great for both BU and Leshawn.

As DC said at least 5 and with Davis not back that would make 6 more available scholarships. We have seen a lot of names mentioned so far and undoubtably will see a lot more.

yes, NCAA did not count any play in 2020-21 against eligibility, but I did not see anywhere that NCAA granted a full extra year of eligibility for someone who didn't even play that season. This is the Marcus Domask situation - he also redshirted 2020-21 and when he finished his grad season at Illinois last spring, he tried vigorously and exhausted every appeal, but NCAA would not grant him an extra year.
UConn's Cam Spencer also redshirted 2020-21 and filed for an extra year and he was also denied.
Everyone who was on an IVY LEAGUE roster in 2020-21 also missed their entire season, as the entire conference cancelled play,
Obviously that year didn't count against their eligibility, but none of them got that extra year back as a 6th year.
