2025 and beyond recruits

I am not sure how solid this is. But I heard the Braves are still sniffing around Cincy Transfer Jarrett Hensley. Southern, Murray, Valpo and Loyola all interested as well.

That's a bit surprising. Here are his numbers for the 3 years he played at UNCG and Cincinnati-

A few more 2024 names Bradley now in contact with-

2024 Colin White- 6'6" junior combo guard at Ottawa-Glandorf High School in Ottawa, Ohio. He also plays with Indiana Elite program and has had several impressive performances this spring.

And Bradley continues to closely follow-
2024 Eoin Dillon- 6'9" forward at Peoria Notre Dame HS. We reported that Bradley was recruiting Eoin Dillon a year ago, but he has developed into a definite D1 prospect this past season, and continues to improve. He is playing with MidPro Academy this spring and summer.

Thanks DC, your recruiting info is second to none. I'll pass on Dillon, just doesn't impress me as a D1 player. The others I would take, especially White and Stanton. White looks amazing and Stanton looks to be a great 3-point shooter, cut from the same mold as Hickman.
 
He is. Tim also sired the twins that are playing at Winona State, Connor and Declan.

Have you seen Eoin play? Is he better than his brothers? From the video I've seen of Eion I don't think he's "Bradley material". I could see him as a preferred walk-on though.

The videos I have found online are from last year. Are there any more recent? He's gotten several D1 offers this spring and more will come, so I don't see any chance he will be a walk-on anywhere.
I haven't seen him play, but I have heard from someone who has watched him this spring that he is playing well. He is much improved.
He's playing with the Illinois Wolves this offseason.

His Dad, Tim, coached my son in high school. Tim was a pretty good athlete himself
 
2024 Bradley recruit Cole Certa of Bloomington Central Catholic HS, who Bradley has already offered, is being described by some as "the best shooter in the state". He scored 47 points in a State Farm Classic semi-final game Wednesday night, and 24 points tonight in the championship game, which they lost to Normal U-High. He is averaging 30 points per game for the season, so far. He now has interest from Illinois and Penn State.

Cole Certa commits to Notre Dame.
 
Even if he isn't an elite athlete or defender, Cole Certa is the kind of recruit that every D1 coach wants, and who'll win games. I think he'll turn into a fine player at Notre Dame. The cost to attend Notre Dame is in excess of $80,000 per year (tuition alone is >$60,000) so he's getting a great education and a lot of value for his scholarship.
If, for some reason, it doesn't work out, I'd still love to see him at Bradley.

I don't disagree, but I don't think he is the type of recruit some schools jump on early.

True. Certa's first scholarship offer was from Brian Wardle last July. Prior to that point, he was not recognized as a clear-cut D1 prospect. Some kids take time to develop. But after a great summer, he had about a dozen offers.
 
From Yahoo sports:
Certa, currently at Bloomington Central Catholic in Illinois, had nearly every prominent program in his home state after him. Illinois, Northwestern, Loyola Chicago, Bradley and Illinois State all made offers. He also received offers from Butler, Nebraska, Toledo and Penn State while Shrewsberry was there. The Irish were the last program to offer him, and that came after Shrewsberry went to the Irish.
 
BTW.. this is according to a friend who talked to the family today. He grew up an Illinois fan. Underwood came to visit and offered immediately. He came back a week later and tried to close. The family decided to wait until after the summer season - more offers rolled in and eventually ND. The family is catholic. When ND came calling they were "stunned and ecstatic".

Eoin Dillon is having another terrific weekend with the Illinois Wolves-
