A few interesting things I noticed from the bios of the new players-
James "Pop" Weathers, #1- He takes Ari Boya's number #1. He's from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He, along with Cody Deen, are the first Bradley players from the state of Louisiana since Eddren McCain (2008-2010), who was from Laplace, LA.
Christian Davis, #5- He takes Mikey Howell's #5. Christian is listed as 6'7", 190 pounds on the new Bradley roster. He must still be growing, despite being 21 years old. He was listed as 6'6", 180 lb. last season on the Le Moyne College roster-

And he was listed as 6'2" in 2019-20 when he played at New Hampton Prep School-

Cody "Duke" Deen, #21, is officially listed as 5'8". He is originally from Shreveport, Louisiana. Last season, Bradley did not have any scholarship players shorter than 6'3" (Terry Roberts, Connor Hickman, & Mikey Howell were all listed as 6'3"). He is the shortest player to play for Coach Wardle at Bradley (Darrell Brown, Jr. was 5'10"). He is also the shortest listed scholarship player for Bradley since
Henry Thomas (5'6") played for the Braves from 1971-1974.
Sulaiman Agiste, #32, is listed on the 2022-23 roster-

This is the first announcement from Bradley about Agiste, and confirms he will be a part of the 2022-23 team, reportedly as a walk-on.
Goanar Biliew, #25, a junior from Denison, Iowa, via Des Moines Area CC, has 8 brothers and sisters. Too bad the family lives in western Iowa. It would really boost attendance if they could all attend every game.
