We reported that Bradley was recruiting Dimitrije Pavlovic and posted the above links about him back on April 23. There were reports that he was interested in playing in the US and Bradley stayed on him with their recruiting. Nice to land another quality, high IQ point guard.
GFWIW, he is from Belgrade, Serbia, where fellow Serbian, Ahmet Jonovic played with his club team.
Here are some additional highlights-
We profiled the newest Bradley Brave, Dimitrije Pavlovic back on April 23
Catching up with some of the others mentioned on the past few pages that Bradley had been pursuing...

I know his numbers are not very impressive, but I still would like to see what Sam Walters could do at a school like Bradley. He's a guy that you don't see a lot of at a mid major. 6'9" and can handle the ball and shoot it really well, and he's left handed.
Probably bit off more than he could chew at Alabama and maybe even SMU, and maybe that's why he's still uncommitted, maybe valuing his NIL too high, or maybe wants to big of a role.
I'd like to see what he could do here.
Kinda surprised Collin Kuhl still uncommited as well. Pretty good numbers at Stetson.
Some surprising destinations on this list.
Very interesting... Nazir Allen was reported to be a qualifier out of high school. If that is true, he wouldn't need a juco degree or another year at juco.
He was one of the top high school players in Tennessee in 2024, but he only had a few relatively low-D1 and juco offers. Then he chose to attend junior college, and initially attended Cloud County CC in Kansas in 2024-25. But he left after 3 games and apparently sat out for the rest of that year. Then he moved to Mineral Area CC and played in 2025-26, putting up great numbers, being named Hon. Mention Junior College All-American, and ranking as high as the #8 junior college player in the country by JucoRecruiting.com--
My guess is there were other issues, maybe academic, but maybe extra-curricular, and Bradley might have already moved on.
One time BU recruit Zavier Zens decommitted from UNI and then committed to University of Illinois...
and guess what... suddenly, even tho the basketball season is long over, the player rating services
upgrade Zens form a 3-Star recruit to a 4-Star recruit... just because he chose a P-4 school....LOL

Jalen Lyn landed at Little Rock
Connor Turnbull landed at Utah State
and former BU recruit Derrick Rivers landed at Prairie View

Here is a pretty good point guard who is still available. He played this past season as a senior at Benet Academy in Lisle, IL, and helped lead them to a 32-6 record. Benet won the Class 4A state title in 2025. He didn't score a lot partly because Benet had multiple D1 recruits..

Another of the 2026 PG names that Bradley has had contact with this week-
E.J. Joiner- 5'10" point guard who completed 2 seasons at Gaston College, a junior college in Dallas, NC. He is originally from Newport News, VA.
He appeared to post a couple weeks ago on X.com that he was verbally committing to Wingate University, and D2 program in North Carolina.

Davion ends up at South Carolina
From what I've heard, there is no more $$$$ in nil budget to bring anyone else in, unless they want to come for no nil.
Do we even have $$$$$ left in the NIL fund to bring in anyone?
The options for kids still in the portal right now are play for a scholarship, go down a level or don't play at all. I've got to think someone values potential D1 experience.
