Zek Montgomery is Back!

I would leave it up to the players. If they want to welcome their teammate back, great. If he burned bridges then it's an easy no.

I've heard they all unanimously support Zek returning. He was well liked by everyone.
 
As a fan I certainly would welcome him back. However l will always wonder if it was just for “the bag”, playing time, position, and if it will affect his dedication to the team. This is not me saying I question his commitment, ability, and dedication. I will just always wonder. He knows how Wardle coaches and that he will be yanked when he goes awry so that shouldn’t be a shock. I just find it odd that he would want to return. It has to be all about the money right? Maybe he did mature and realizes money, a 12-20 record, and not playing for a relevant team is not close to playing championship level basketball with great fan support. I have to use that mindset to understand why he may be returning.
 
This might not be happening. Recruiting used to be do we have room for you and do you want to play for us. Now it is much more.

Strange. Somebody must have come in late to recruit him..Damn!! He was hell bent on coming back and now he is being swayed by other factors. I dont like that but I guess that's recruiting and always has been. Kids are easily swayed. I remember a story Tony Barone mentioned where they were recruiting a 7 footer,Tom Payne I think. He told the coaches he was going to sign the next day with Bradley. However during the night he said he had a dream about Louisville and signed with them instead the next day
 
You gotta go buy all your players now. This is fun.

The NIL folks might still be able to make something happen, but from my sources, sometimes expectations exceed reality.​
We are now in a recruiting "Dead Period" (see NCAA recruiting calendar below), so there probably won't be much news until April 12.

I think Zek needs to be careful in his decision making right now. He left Bradley because he thought he had a better deal someplace else. Then he campaigns to come back. They open the door for him. Now all of a sudden he thinks he has another better deal someplace else. He better think about how Coach Wardle will respond to that

Great point Bf124 and I had thought the same last night.

If this is all true about Zek looking around I would have to think Wardle will move on and that the Zek ship has sailed. We've got other wings that we're looking at that might be better anyway so I would guess one of them will be prioritized along with a big man.

Bingo! And BW doesn’t seem like someone to play around with the nonsense.
 
BTW,Tom Payne was in Stowell's days. Stowell visited his home and found no other recruiters there. Payne did want to come to
Bradley but as Stowell put it "he couldn't afford to". I think that quote is accurate or close to it.

Hmmm! Maybe it was another 7 ft guy. I am pretty sure it was Tony Barone or Dick Versace. They were on the Dick Versace show Dave used to have on WMBD
