The publicity Bradley is getting now will be the gift that will keep on giving. I think recruiting wise it may open some doors that may not have been open at the beginning of the season
 
A problem is determining what scholarships will be open. What seniors will be back? Who or how many may want to transfer?

This is not looking into these problems ... just some musings.

At least two seniors that say in the paper they haven’t made up their minds.

Well, JaShon can't come back and Malevy has already stated he is, so that leaves Rienk and Ville. That's good news in my book! Would be nice to have one more year with both of them. Who replaces the toughness we lose with JHen, though? He is one of a kind!

I hope they come back for some "unfinished business"
 
A few new names from the transfer portal that Bradley has been in contact with. There will probably be others-

Marquise Kennedy- 6'1" senior guard who just finished his 4th season at Loyola, and entered the transfer portal yesterday (Wed. 3/15). Bradley offered him out of Chicago Brother Rice High School in 2019.
https://twitter.com/portal_updates/s...74343338848257
Kennedy has been a part-time starter for Loyola for 4 seasons, but he had his best season as a freshman, when he shot 51.4% overall and 38% from three. He has been less consistent the last 3 seasons. Other MVC teams are also recruiting him.
He has 1 season of eligibility left as a grad-transfer for his Covid season.

Hysier Miller- 6'1" sophomore point guard at Temple University. He entered the transfer portal Tuesday (3/14)-
https://twitter.com/VerbalCommits/st...78644093161474
Temple finished 2022-23 with a record of 16-16, and 10-8 in the AAC. They were the 5th seed in the AAC tournament, and were eliminated in their first game by #4 seed Cincinnati 84-54. Miller started every game for the team this season and averaged 8.6 ppg and 3.8 assists per game. He is a native of Philadelphia.

He has 2 more seasons of eligibility.

Johnny O'Neil- 6'9" junior forward at American University of the Patriot League who entered the portal this week. AU finished the 2022-23 season 17-15, 7-11. They won their first 2 games in the Patriot League Tournament, before losing in the semifinal to Lafayette in double-overtime. O'Neil played 49 of the 50 minutes in that final game, and had 14 points and 8 rebounds. He averaged 11.3 ppg and 6.6 rpg on the season. He lead the team in 3-point percentage with 39.2% from three. He also lead the team in blocks with 51 for the season. He is originally from Miami Gardens, Florida..

O'Neil would have 2 seasons of eligibility left, since he qualifies for the extra Covid year.
 
I get chasing Kennedy to shore up PG, but O'Neil sounds like a great fit. We need 3 pt shooting, and athleticism. If he has that many blocks one would hope he is athletic.
 
A couple new names that Bradley coaches have been in contact with-

2025 Clayton Parker- 6'7" forward from Montgomery City, Missouri. He is a sophomore at Montgomery County HS. He averaged 23.5 ppg, 9 rpg, shot 63.0% overall, 45.2% from three, and 82.0% on FTs his sophomore season.

2023 transfer- Braeden Moore- 6'9" forward who is currently a freshman at BYU (2022 commit). He entered the transfer portal March 18-
https://www.vanquishthefoe.com/2023...-forward-braeden-moore-enters-transfer-portal
He is originally from Nashville, TN, where he did his first 3 years of high school. He finished high school at Donda Prep, the basketball prep academy in Simi Valley, California. that was founded by Kanye West. He originally committed to Rutgers, but later committed to BYU. At BYU, he redshirted this past year so he still has 4 years of eligibility left.

Another positive note about transfers. Alot of open slots at all the different teams are being filled by transfers there should be some good quality high school players that will available because the number of opportunities for them are narrowing

I think we'd be better off veering away from high school players unless we feel they can make a real difference right away. Otherwise, we just turn into training facilities for the Power 5. I'd like to see them focus more on upper classmen transfers.

I agree.. Thats kind of my point. There should be some very qualified high school players available but like you said the downside if they make a splash then they will get noticed and might want to transfer.. Either way I feel the NCAA needs to get a handle on all this transferring. It is decimating teams

I think the new problems it's creating with egos, jealousy, and players just plain not working out as planned is going to end up biting them in the butt. What is going to end up happening is the power conference teams that don't find success in this current system will start pushing for change eventually. That's my prediction.
 
The one plus for recruiting HS players.. If the power 5 is taking mid-major players and only the cream of the crop HS guys, then a fair number of talented players who might never have considered a mid-major may look at one (or Juco to prove themselves worthy). Of course the trick is keeping them.
