2023-24 Bradley roster-- roster change-> Trey Pettigrew gone
- Thread starter Da Coach
- Start date
As I posted almost 3 months ago, this has been an ongoing problem since the summer. Without going into specifics, he just clashed with the coaching staff on many levels, and more recently it has been affecting team chemistry and some of the other players. I'm sure he's basically a good kid, but it was not going to work out here with a disciplined program. It happens at a lot of schools. I've heard there were similar issues at Nevada.
There are probably other coaching staffs where things would have been different. Perhaps he should check out Stony Brook.

I think Wardle is a different type of coach than what some players want, especially in the era of the transfer portal.
Wardle wants to develop guys who put in the effort and play to his expectations. He has a specific type of basketball he wants you to play. Some guys just might not fit into that mold. It is disappointing things didn't work out as Pettigrew loses some of his time and Bradley loses a guard.
I love everything I see of Burch and Atlason, and love their potential, but the transfers have left a lot to be desired. I was not a fan of the fit of them all at the time. I stated my concern about roster construction and it’s come to fruition already.
Ellis has dealt with a lot injury wise, so we will see in time, but we really needed a wing scorer. I’ll be patient here.
Pettigrew seemed like a combo guard that was only a combo guard because he wasn’t a great ball handler or shooter.
Thomas is fine as a backup big, but I don’t love the early rule violation or that we already had many bigs on the roster.
We really needed another point and a wing that could score and we got neither and still have 7-8 scholarships tied up in non-guard players (depending on if you classify Davis as a guard, I’d say more small forward). I knew that would be an issue and it’s already come up. Hopefully no injuries to our four remaining guards or we’re in real trouble against guard heavy teams and in Valley play.

Maybe one of the NIL guys can clarify, but I think most of the NIL money is spread out over the season, so if a player leaves, it just gets cut off. I'm not sure how easy it would be to recover money that has already been given out.
Isn’t NLI at least supposed to be for some kind of sponsorship or service? I would think you’d be paid for what you already did and lose everything else? I’m sure any contracts have clauses in them right?
In the investment world, sometimes ya win and sometimes ya lose it all. Crack some eggs to make some omelets. No one is going after any NIL money paid out already.
