The article also reports that--
Bertrand doesn't seem bummed out that his favorite college hoops team, Illinois, hasn't offered him a scholarship.
"I don't know why they haven't done it yet," he said, "but I'm not too worried about it."
Bradley has been recruiting Bertrand a year or more, and it had been reported in this thread from almost a year ago that Bradley had already offered him a scholarship.--

Although Bertrand is young, Big Ten schools are quite aware of his abilities. Michigan State, Illinois, Wisconsin and Purdue have evaluated him this month. Iowa is also involved.
Still not even 15 years old, Bertrand already has offers from Southern Illinois, Illinois State and Bradley.
