2018 & Beyond recruiting targets

South Plains won and advances to one of the 16 automatic bid spots in the National Tournament
Brangers was relatively quiet with 11 pts
DeShawn Coprew had 26, Isaiah Maurice had 24 pts/13 reb
 
What is the Junior College kid bradley is looking at. I think he was going to Colorado State bit the coach got fired. Just was wondering .
 
Update...
Kawanise Wilkins is a qualifier and looking to play 3 years at DI so he is a 2018 recruit, and this site
appears to say Bradley has offered him...

"Kent State the latest to offer Barton County freshman forward 6'6" Kawanise Wilkins
The former Farragut HS star's recruitment starting to pick up steam. Kent St,
Western Michigan, Loyola, Bradley, N. Iowa. List will continue to grow. Has 3
years to play."

Not sure if it has already been mentioned, but I feel Bradley needs another big man to replace Thomas. I think they someone this year just to fill that gap.
 
I think that has been the central focus of our efforts - note how many of the targets on our 2018 list are guys that fit that bill...big, strong, athletic rebounders & scorers

Bradley has looked at Jordan Brangers of South Plains College. He is the kid who had verbally committed to Colorado State (though he did not sign a National Letter of Intent). He backed out when they put Larry Eustachy on suspension and subsequently fired him. Go back to post #515 near the bottom of page 26 of this thread where the discussion of Jordan Brangers starts-
http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showpost.php?p=825137690&postcount=515

But Bradley has also looked at and are actively recruiting a number of other junior college kids. We have profiled many of them in this thread, and there are probably others.
I have heard that the coaches have set up several visits with recruits over the next 2-3 weeks. We'll have more about those as the information becomes available.

And Bradley will sign at least one big man to fill the void left by Donte Thomas' graduation and Callum Barker's departure.


Welcome to the board!
 
Thanks. I heard about him from a friend but wasn't sure on in the name. This answered my question. Thanks!

What do you guys think about Pittman. He seems like he is going to good work. Thoughts?
 
Pittman will return to the team next year and add some needed athleticism. He has improved his ball-handling and offense.


Here is another new name-

2019 Stephan Gabriel of Hillcrest Prep in Phoenix, Arizona. He is a 6'5" wing originally from Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey.
He currently has offers from Fairleigh Dickinson, Maine, Wagner, and Montana, and interest from Bradley, ETSU, and Morehead State.

Here's a kid nearby to maybe keep an eye on.... right now he's a virtual unknown (but he won't be for long) with very little on him.
Tray Croft - a 6-1 FRESHMAN lefty combo guard at Iowa Western juco - (recruiting Class of 2018 )
in his first four games as a freshman he is averaging 29.5 ppg, hitting 55%, plus 38% from the arc, and 8.5 rpg, 5.3 assists
Last night he had a triple double 33 pts, 11 rebs, 11 asst, 3 steals
http://www.njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2016-17/div2/players/traycroft7f89
http://www.easportstoday.com/2016/04/09/croft-commits-to-iowa-jc/
He had no offers out of high school, but he is from Anniston, AL, and his high school is small,
about 500 enrollment (about the same as Eureka HS), and during his senior season he was just 5-10 and about 130 lbs - and he's grown since then

Croft plays at Iowa Central Community College, not Iowa Western.
http://www.ictritons.com/mens_basketball/roster.asp

http://www.messengernews.net/sports/local-sports/2017/11/triton-men-roll-behind-crofts-24-points/
I believe his name was mentioned here a few times last year. Look at the quote from the former UNI AD who officiated the game.

it is possible he's a qualifier and could have 3 years if we have an open scholarship in 2017

You are right - I recall several times Croft's name has come up and I hope our staff is watching him....

a couple other names we've mentioned before
juco soph, Iowa Central - Tray Croft averaging 27.4 ppg, 6.8 rpg and 42% from 3-pt- scored 26 pts last night in their 1st round tourney win



something just doesn't seem right
Croft is a great shooter & scorer but he has no DI offers...not even low DI...
usually that hints at academics....
One article when he signed to go juco noted that's what he had to do academically



Those are just some of the dozen or more posts on this 2018 Recruiting thread extending from as far back as November, 2016 through today regarding this kid named Tray Croft of Iowa Central Community College...
Plus there is this entire separate thread started about the kid-
http://www.bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread.php?p=825133401

I think I keep on top of the names Bradley is recruiting, and this kid might be a good player, but as far as I can find, no one anywhere has ever suggested Bradley is recruiting this kid, and my sources say Bradley is not recruiting him. So I'd like to propose that until there is any shred of evidence that Bradley is actually recruiting Tray Croft, can we drop this preoccupation with a lower-tier juco kid Bradley isn't even interested in.

For the sake of our fans, and to avoid confusing real Bradley recruits with players those we are not recruiting, I'd like to ask that we keep this recruiting thread about the actual players Bradley is known to be recruiting.
 
brothers Tyree & Treavon Martin (Chicago Curie) whose names were once linked to Bradley - have verbaled to Tennessee State

6'8" Forward Treavon Martin, who was a former 2018 Bradley recruit (don't believe Bradley ever offered) out of Chicago Curie HS, and who committed to Tennessee State back on January 5, 2018, has de-committed and is reopening his recruitment.
As of now, his 6'8" twin brother Tyree Martin, who Bradley also followed, remains committed to Tennessee State.
 
AAU Coach Gavin Sullivan tweets that Bradley is watching Springfield Southeast's (2019) Anthony Fairlee as he prepares for his
appearance in the 1pm State semi-final Friday
 
Bradley is now involved with Morgan Park HS Cameron Burrell. No word whether they have offered, but probably are trying to arrange visit.
 
trying to update our list of names- with the Juco National Tournament getting underway, I suspect our staff will be there and maybe some new offers...
...one other piece of news that may affect Bradley- one of our juco targets Jordan Brangers-- will miss the National Tourney with a knee injury

And Cam Burrell mentions being contacted by Bradley - and claims he is a qualifier...

sounds like we can use this guy

https://whistle2whistlesports.com/2018/03/18/above-the-rim-grind-session-world-championship/

and as soon as Tennessee State's head coach Dana Ford leaves to take the Missouri State job,
their top commit Chicago Curie's Tyree Martin decommits - Bradley was at one time recruiting him - LINK
His brother Tyrone Martin had already decommitted earlier - LINK

wanna bet they both end up at Missouri State - Tennessee State also has a commit from Morgan Park's Kenyon Duling and an Atlanta kid who is also a 6-8 PF just like both Tyrone Martin & Tyree Martin.
