AW to opt for extra year

Miss you Warren! Pretty much knew for sure when he had street cloths on against isu. Can't help but think of how much better he would have made us....but 4-0 is still pretty dang good! Keep your head up AW, next year the sky's the limit!
 
I'm happy to hear he is going to sit out. We've got a first place team this season and we are going to have a very good team next season with AW back.
 
Well so much for absolutely needing a shooting guard with the last scholarship. Let's have some veterans and bring back SS also!
 
Here are some stats for AW on the hilltop:

as a fresh......21 3's for .457% and 139 pts

as a soph......67 3's for .406% and 435 pts

for 88 3's @ .432% and 574 pts......can't wait to see a healthy AW and what he will accomplish in his next 2 seasons! :D
 
thats a good point....with AW here for 2 more years does that change the recruiting for next season? What if another Big wants to come here? Interesting :wink:
 
Great move for AW. He now has potentially, two great years ahead of him, rather than 1 great year and 1/2 a struggling year tryning to get into game shape.
Potentially, The Braves could be very good in his last two years.
Put it all together and this should greatly enhance Andrews playing at "the next level."
Best of luck AW in your progression, may you get "bigger-stronger- faster."
Oh by the way a drop dead 3-point game would not hurt either!

We're gonna be absolutely ballin' the next couple years, and he will be one of the leaders to guide us through.

Completely agree! SM and AW together for two more years and the possible six-player class right behind them! Throw in CR, DD, JP, and MK. Oh my!
 
I dont buy into the extra year helps him with play pro ball, older players generally are less likely to make an NBA roster, which regardless of his years of school hes not doing and he can play in Europe if he wants but the extra year wont influence that much if at all.

This is best for the Bradley program, I dont know if it is best for Warren other then he has a decision made.

I am glad he is back and it will only help this program go places that it many of us can and wont dream about.

I was thinking about the return of SS which would be fine with me but Im not sure it would be great for the court development of Thompson. Sometimes its best to have someone move on so someone else can move in. That decision though probably wont be look at to strongly until after the season.
 
Bradley will have three guys next year that will have redshirt years behind them. Only one was voluntary, but I think it helps the program out in the long run.

With the last scholarship, I would still like a shooter for down the road.
 
Could SS play another year....? I thought he was done. Sorry...I'm lost. Is this the ole 11 years to play 4. :)
 
I'm disappointed that we won't be able to see that silky smooth jumper for another year, but this is the best option for everyone. However, AW has been a terrific cheerleader for this team. Its fun to watch him be the first out to greet his teammates when a TO is called.

I remember sitting in a hotel room in West Bend, WI when I saw on the BradleyFans that he broke his foot. I dreaded the slow and steady return because I remember how much Anthony Parker struggled to return from a very similar injury and only played about 1/3 of a season at full strength his senior year. Its great that AW has a chance to come back in 09-10 on top of his game.
 
AW will be so much more rounded as a player......I know this is a tough season for him...but he is so into the games and the players...he will be like another assistant coach and have THAT kind of experience to draw on the next two seasons......

Andrew......Miss watching you play....but we know you are AWESOME and have great years ahead!

Yes, let's bring back Sam! He's only been here what...7-8 years now. What's another year among friends? ;)

Seriously, I was listening to Sam on the post-game show last night. I don't think I've ever heard a college athlete that's as well spoken and coherent as Sam. He is a terrific representative of the university! :)
