    Players from the past

    Michael was a good kid who was a 6'9" forward/center from Chicago St. Rita HS. He came to Bradley in 2003, recruited by Jim Les. But, after Patrick O'Bryant, Lawrence Wright, and Marcellus Sommerville were added to the BU roster the next season, Michael struggled to get playing time. So, after 2...

    Another Bradley assistant coach leaving?

    Good luck to Austin Cox. He was a hard worker at Bradley and was liked by everyone. He is now the Director of Basketball Operations at Mississippi under Head Coach Chris Beard. Prior to Bradley, he worked at a number of programs, including UTEP, Southern Miss, & Stephen F. Austin...

    Offers for 2026 and beyond

    Quinton Kitts is a Class of 2027 recruit and won't be at Illinois until fall of next year (2027). With 4 starters returning next season and 5 other incoming 2026 recruits, including a 5-star guard and a couple 4-star guards, I think Zens and Williams are going to be spending a lot of time on...

    I think some are on campus now and others will arrive later. The first summer session began May 20 and ends July 1. The second summer session starts July 8 and ends August 19.

    Murray State gets a $2.5 million dollar donation for their Athletic Department

    These donations for NIL stories keep getting more ridiculous... Virginia Tech just received a $75 million donation from an anonymous family earmarked mainly for athletics- https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/48966435/virginia-tech-receives-historic-75m-donation-mostly-athletics

    Missouri Valley Conference is proposing to change the Arch Madness format

    This kind of format will hurt attendance. Usually the fans from the top teams buy the most tickets. But if they are not going to play in the first 2 rounds, they will likely not buy full session tickets, and will wait until the weekend to see their teams play. Why mess with a tournament that has...

    Bradley NIL for mens basketball

    More reports that show the distinction between NIL at one of the blueblood programs versus a mid-major like MVC teams... Perhaps the top remaining player in the transfer portal was Milan Momcilovic, who spent 3 seasons at Iowa State, put up terrific scoring and shooting stats, was the top...

    Bradley's 2026-27 schedule

    Murray State's game against Georgia Tech is part of a double-header at the downtown Nashville Bridgestone Arena on Sunday, Dec. 6. The main attraction is an SEC-ACC matchup between Tennessee and North Carolina. The Bridgestone Arena calendar shows the game time as 11:59pm, which I'm guessing is...

    Bradley NIL for mens basketball

    Wednesday was the deadline for players who had put their name into the 2026 NBA Draft to withdraw if they wanted to return to college. Baylor wing Tounde Yessoufou was projected to be a late 1st round pick, but was lured back to play at St. Johns for the 2026-27 season with an NIL deal reported...

    Valley Recruits

    Seems like another nice Euro recruit for Murray. Head coach Ryan Miller doing a nice job rebuilding his roster after losing almost everyone. He is billed as a Power Forward, as is Brigham Rogers, who they pilfered from Belmont. And with Shon Tupuola (from Valpo) they should be solid inside...

    2026 Portal transfers

    Perhaps another example of how some NBA-caliber players are skipping the NBA Draft and returning to college because they can make more money in NIL and revenue-sharing than they can make in the NBA. One-time Bradley recruit Flory Bidunga has withdrawn from the NBA Draft-...

    Valley Recruits

    Donovan Hill, 6'8", averaged 18.3 ppg and 8.3 rpg for St. Leo in 2025-26. He should help SIU, as they need size. Jaheem Webber (1.4 ppg, 1.7 rpg) is their only returning big man

    International players (sorry if already posted)

    It's hard to know without some knowledge of the compensation being given the European players. I strongly suspect these rules will not affect Pavlovic, and probably won't affect Gerganov. But we'll have to wait and see. The college coach who could be most affected is Will Wade, new head coach...

    Murray State gets a $2.5 million dollar donation for their Athletic Department

    Here is another donation-for-NIL story. The money is getting ridiculous- Georgia men's basketball gets $10M from Adam Wexler, founder of PrizePicks- The money is being donated specifically to the Georgia men's basketball program, so it is not intended to benefit Georgia football, women's...
