And again, we have the name before anyone knows about this kid! - Welcome to Bradley Xander!
 
We need to appreciate how difficult it is to land double-digit scorers from the portal, but the Bradley coaches have done just that.
Xander Alarie averaged 10.3 ppg at D1 Northeastern, Trevon Payton averaged 10.0 ppg at D1 UAPB, and Kyle Grill averaged 13.3 ppg at D2 Fort Hayes State. In addition, we have a couple double-digit jucos Noah Williams (13.5 ppg) and Ben Thornbrue (12.3 ppg), plus Race Kowalczyk (20 ppg in HS) and Georgi Gerganov (22 ppg in Bulgaria).

I don't think the other 10 MVC teams combined have landed more than one or two portal transfers who are double-digit scorers. So Kudos to the Bradley staff. It's not easy recruiting the portal for a mid-major with limited NIL to offer, but the BU coaches have done an incredible job.
 
Yes they have done a great job this far in getting quality portal talent. Wishful thinking, now if they can find that one diamond in the rough player who other programs have overlooked and get him to come to Bradley. See how it goes.

I'm hearing the coaches like Cooper Knowles (West Hancock HS). Here are a few highlights of his first game in the Macomb Tournament, when he scored 29 points. West Hancock won the tournament and Knowles was named the tournament MVP.

I have seen enough video to agree with you Big Mike, if he would agree to a redshirt year. He needs to get stronger, but I think he could develop into a very effective player.
