2026 and beyond recruits

Isaiah Wilks to Louisiana. Bradley had offered in July last year.

Sorry if this has already been reported. He committed on Sep 2 this year.

Wilks was one of BU's first 2026 offers back in July of 2024- before he led his high school team to the Oklahoma State Championship
for 2024-25 last March. But my guess is that since he is a 5-9 point guard, and Bradley already has two sub-6-ft point guards,
that Coach Wardle's interest in Wilks had probably dropped off.
Wilks' father is an Oklahoma Thunder (NBA) assistant coach.

Awwwww
All the P-5 coaches are crying because the top recruits are holding out, playing games- playing one offer against another in effort to squeeze a promise of more $money$ - so sad.
It’s not like they are whining over the situation THEY created.

This new landscape may be why Bradley was able to land 3 and 4-star recruits in the last cycle. Sure, they'll quickly get poached if they live up to expectations, but if schools like Bradley can consistently reload with new 3/4-star talent each year then this could actually benefit the mid-majors.

I dont disagree....my comment was more towards the thinking that how could anybody with a half a brain not predict this very thing from happening....this problem could be solved with the transfer rule of sitting out being put back into play. The ability to transfer without penalty combined with the NIL wild west has created a free agency holdout situation every year....Like yoda said...these bigger schools wanted this, and are now crying about situation they created.

P.S.......I could see this scenario next...especially in Football

Notre Dame lost their first 2 games right?.....No Shot at national title now, being they are not in a conference, and don't play enough ranked hi level teams to rebuild their ranking...what if their top players just all of a sudden sit out, redshirt, and get the year back with more NIL money to be made next year with a contender?..why would you play anymore and burn eligibility if the team has ZERO shot a winning the title?

To start with, playoff hopes are not dead yet, they have best 2 losses in the country right now, only by 3 to #4 miami and by 1 to #10 Texas A&M, and 2nd point is the be could sit i suppose but not to gain another year but to save themselves a for the draft.

I noticed the two offers on Verbal Commits are two years old. I wonder if no recent offers indicate he has already decided on a college. I know there could be other reasons.
