lb is referring to Ahmet

So are we probably looking at:

G Hickman
G Deen
G Montgomery
F Leons
C Hannah

From what I have seen Hannah has the athleticism to be a big 4 who drives at this level. If he can make improvements in his ball handling and mid range shot he can be a handful.

So, anything official about Malevy staying at BU?
Want to share with some people, but don’t want to jump the gun!

Now Da Coach if I understand this transfer stuff Thomas, since he has already transferred once, does he have to sit out a year?

The NCAA just sent out this memo to all D1 schools. They have tightened their waiver process a little.

As before, players who have not previously transferred can transfer and be immediately eligible if they fulfill a couple basic requirements listed here-
http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_...e_Transfer.pdf

But, this page outlines that the latest waiver process for players who have previously transferred just got a little stricter. It looks like a coaching change will no longer be considered as a reason for a waiver, although reason #1 is vague enough to be stretched to include a lot of things.

IMO, as soon as you throw in the words “mental health”, that opens up a lot of potential scenarios and gray area.

My needs are as follows:
1. Taller point guard to compete with Deen (hopefully that can shoot too in an ideal world)
2. Sharpshooter
3. Athletic Big (that Selebangue sound like the type of player I mean from his reports last year and this year).

We have two openings now, and I have to believe at least one more will come open.

If we get a (taller, starting) point guard we can move Hickman back to being a shooting/scoring guard more. Hick did a great job as "the other point guard" having not played that position for a couple years... Plus if he can heal his ankle/ribs/body he will have a much better scoring year.

What are u basing it on IB? What u have heard?.. seen? And what do u mean by surprise ppl? In ur opinion what kinda minutes and #’s would you project for him next year?

to be honest I was a bit surprised this year, with the build up he had before he arrived I honestly expected more from him this year. I think part of that was we didn’t get him many opportunities both with playing time, and honestly I thought we could have gotten him the ball a lot more when he did play. I know he had a ton to overcome in a very short period, plus we were playing well and u hate to rock the boat by bringing him in to play more.

i Think his back to the basket game looks good, seems to have good hands and runs the floor well.
He really struggled defensively hedging and recovering on pick and roll, as well as defending the his man when his man faced up and drove the ball.
Jury still out on his physicality, shooting, and passing ability.

You got that right. This basically is the way to get around the rule whenever you want.

I am glad they are starting to tighten up a little bit

Still no official word from Malevy...smh

[Da Coach]

Still no official word from Malevy...smh

Malevy already said he was returning in this Feb. 10 article.-
https://www.pjstar.com/story/sports/...a/69881887007/

Bradley basketball star's future includes a shoe line, the pro game and a return to Peoria
"I'm staying," Leons said. "I will be here at Bradley next season using my fifth year. It's important for me to finish and get that extra season. I want to play professional basketball. I think my development as a player at Bradley is helping me toward that dream. I'm learning to play basketball."

Don't expect to hear anything further.
Note that Bradley never made any official announcement about Rienk leaving or entering the portal, or Ville leaving to turn pro, or about Malevy staying when he made his announcement back in early February. They have not commented about any of the players' decisions to leave or return.


Also, this morning, Valparaiso's Ben Krikke added his name to the portal-

Go get Krikke……

[JMG95]

Krikke would be a great get!

[Tommy]

I have a feeling BW has already been on the line with Krikke. That would be awesome.
