Bradley has a verbal and will get a LOI for 2009 from Jake Eastman
http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11894

Bradley may get a LOI in the fall from John Wilkins (to play in 2010)
he will have used only one year of eligibility at juco, and will have 3 years remaining, so when he comes into Bradley in 2010, he will athletically be a sophomore.

as we all know by now...Bradley's Sam Singh, presently a senior at Bradley, has received a waiver for another year of eligibility and will be on scholarship again in 2009-2010 as a senior.

Freshman Darian Norris has left Bradley and will enroll in Salt Lake CC (juco)
http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11972

also, when Bradley's 2010 commit Sean Harris arrives in 2010 from a 2-year Mormon mission, he has already completed one year of juco, so he will be a sophomore in 2010-2011.

Looks like Creighton had another JUCO player sign last Wednesday.....Darryl Ashford.

Darryl Ashford, (SO) 6-foot-4 from Houston, TX, has signed with Creighton University of the Missouri Valley Conference according to coach Young.

Ashford was a one-time Texas Tech signee out of New Hampton a prep school in New Hampshire. Ashford has played the past two seasons at Jacksonville College and averaged 17.4 ppg and 6.1 rebounds this past season for the Jaguars.

That gives them seven players in their Junior class!

If he is Mormon does this mean he is not allowed to participate in any Sunday games? I know BYU is not allowed to play on Sunday.
 
BYU is a church-owned school, and thus may have rules that the church applies.
Each individual believer is free to make their own decisions. I don't know about Harris, but I am not award that he ever refused to play on Sundays.
 
As of right now, over half of their scholarship players did not play for them last season. I guess the most logical place for the Tony Lewis scholarship to come from would be Bobby Hill?

"illinois state" hmmmm......a little message, huh??
they will actually have 8 or more new guys who logged zero minutes last year but who will be expecting some playing time.
A. Hill, B. Hill, Carmichael, Mishler, Ekey, Johnson, Clark, Upshaw, and now Lewis.
It'll be interesting to see how they work all those new guys in.
Will it be like Indiana with their 10 new guys last year?

Time for another update..............

for the initial info, go back to the first post in this thread........

Bradley nothing new since Norris left and BU got a LOI from Jake Eastman, DSE still pondering..

Creighton has a juco kid, Wayne Runnels (forward) and another juco Darryl Ashford (guard) committed
as has California guard Andrew Bock and slender 6-7 fwd Ethan Wragge of Minnesota..
and both Cavel Witter (guard) and Kenton Walker (center) have left

Drake loses Josh Parker who transferred to Dayton, they get newcomer/freshman David Smith, redshirt frosh
German Frank Wiseler and transfer Ryan Wedel. They may be thin up front with the loss of Bucky Cox.

Evansville just had THREE players leave (Granger, Williams, House) and also just got a new commitment
for next fall, Troy Taylor The Aces also just got a LOI from Texas guard Ned Cox who will join Taylor plus Colt Ryan,
Derek Johnson, Lewis Jones, and transfer Brian Bouchie among UE's 6 newcomers.

Illinois State Sead Odzic left and ISU landed verbals from Jackie Carmichael & Austin Hill for next fall added
to their four signees from last fall (Clark, Ekey, Johnson, Upshaw).
and don't foprget, a couple walk-ons, including Metamora's Blake Mishler will finally be eligible.

Indiana State Tyler Cutter has transferred out as has Marico Stinson.
But incoming are Logan and Lucas Eitel, Jake Kelly (will have to sit out a year), and Zach Odum.

Missouri State lost John Hayward-Mayhew has left, and they landed Michael Porter
They also have lost freshman Dominick Brumfield to transfer, and are rumored to be getting Iowa's
Jeff Peterson in transfer.(he will be a junior when eligible)
The ones they have confirmed for the fall are Porter (fwd), Lane Adams (guard) , Jerome Jones (fwd), and Keith Pickens (guard).
Also, MSU just lost out on one of their top two remaining targets, as the national junior college leader in 3-pt shooting,
Antoine Waton Watson from Redlands CC just verballed to FIU & new coach Isaih Thomas, and now they focus on
a kid named Nafis Ricks, the juco D-II Player of the Year who will decide between MSU, North Texas, UW-M, and Georgia State.
(ps -- let me heard again how juco Division II is as good as juco D-I....if the national POY gets only low to mid-major offers!!)

Southern Illinois got commitments from Eugene Teague who'll be a freshman and juco John Freeman who'll be a junior.
Also, Tony Freeman, added last year, will become eligible in the fall.

Northern Iowa just got a 2009 commitment and will get a LOI from Antonio Jones
