Pittman and Hodgson Leaving

Certainly we should appreciate what they’ve done here, helping the program become relevant again. Unfortunately neither were looking at significant minutes next year and I hope they can find a program where those minutes are available, assuming they want to continue on.
 
A new name just being mentioned as a potential transfer to Bradley- Bryce Moore
https://twitter.com/BSnow247/status/1110549587188768769
transferring as a grad transfer from Western Michigan - originally from Indianapolis area
In his last season at WMU- he averaged 9.8 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 1.5 asst and 39% 3-pt shooting and was All Defense Team in the MAC
He also earned Academic All-MAC and MAC Distinguished Scholar Athlete recognition.
 
I’d really like to see at least one of these scholarships goes to a Juco. I would really like to even out our classes a bit. Two grad transfers would leave us with 5 graduating after next year.
 
One of the transfers that's being discussed is probably not a grad transfer - but time will tell

Wardle stated that he does not expect anyone else to leave other than those graduating

Did Pittman have to transfer to keep his eligibility? The rules on eligibility are hard for me to follow. Where’s Tornado when you need him!
 
Sad to see them go and love them. This is good for the program tho. It better be 2 bigs who can contribute in a big way. that replace them IMHO.

players always have 5 years to complete their four seasons of eligibility - so
since Pittman redshirted last year he still has one full season of eligibility remaining and one year to use it...
So he could stay here but he apparently believes he will play more somewhere else and he can transfer without sitting out because
NCAA has a grad-transfer rule that allows him to transfer as a grad student and be immediately eligible.

Jayden Hodgson may need to sit out or possibly he could get his degree by end of summer and also transfer as a grad-transfer

We lose two guards from our rotation and one big. The two guards we lose were our two best on court leaders and played the 2nd and 6th most minutes per game on our team. I haven’t found a site that lets you sort by a date, but Lundy would be higher still if you only count games after he moved into the starting lineup. Coach played lineups that almost always had three guards on the floor. We have two hold overs on roster who play on the outside in Brummet and Kennell that could see larger minute loads. We have three hold overs on roster who play inside in Henry, Bar, and Boya who could see larger minute loads. I’d rather see us persue perimeter contributors.
 
Good luck to both wherever they land! I also would like some help inside the paint with a raw Boya and Barr who needs to improve his hands to help Child's down low....a big body would really help out!
 
Good luck to both of these young gentlemen. I believe one transfer would need to be a point guard. However, I don't know if we are as fixed inside as some might think. Bar has his limitations and Boya is an unknown at this time. Henry does have the height to compete in the middle during the MVC season but I'm not sure when Bradley gets into the postseason.

Bryce Moore was lightly recruited out of high school, and although he did not play this past season due to injury, he put up decent numbers in 2017-18- 9.6 ppg, and 39% from three. Wardle may have recruited him when he was head coach at Green Bay.
 
I don't often quote the PJS as a believable source but they did say this:
"Wardle said the pair will be the only two players with eligibility remaining to leave the team this spring."
 
Had a chance to meet and chat with A-Pitt briefly after the Loyola game...very pleasant young man.
GL to both these guys - represented us well and had a good "team" attitude on the bench. While they didn't seem thrilled, I didn't ever see them sulk, and they were great supporting those who played toward the end - even through the Valley tourney.
