Zek Montgomery is Back!

[bradleyfan124]

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

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.

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

What does that mean?

Sounds like he might be looking at other places. Could once again be the NIL money is not good enough or someone else has shown an interest in him. I have 0 idea.

Not coming together?

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.

I've heard they all unanimously support Zek returning. He was well liked by everyone.

Here are Zek's recent "Likes" on twitter- https://twitter.com/MontgomeryZek/likes

His followers are also mostly BU related.
Hope that's a good sign.

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.

Can't we find out what colleges Zek is thinking to transfer to as well as his interest in Returning to BU?

I thought Zek's departure from the Braves last year was a bigger blow than losing anyone else. He had so much upside and was our best athlete - had pro potential - maybe not NBA, but easily overseas.

It's up to Coach Wardle and staff as to whether they would accept a guy who already decided to leave the team, but dang - I would take Zek over any other option out there now...to make us stronger, and a guy who knows the system and is a fan fave.

He’d not see the floor on BU if he didn’t give max effort. I can see why some from URI think he may be lazy, but Zek’s game is smooth, but I didn’t ever see a lack of hustle on his part when with Bradley.
We’ll take you back as a fan base in a heartbeat!

my understanding is that changed his role to more of a forward, but I think he handled the ball more earlier in the year. So I wonder if his change in role was confused with laziness. I watched a couple games and didn't notice a lack of effort. That 30 pt game came later in the season.
