Bradley's 2026-27 Roster page is now updated with all the new guys

Looking more and more like D Rich will be a focal point this year.

I’m getting vibes that spring recruiting is done, this is our 2026-27 team and maybe the other two scholarships won’t be filled.
I suppose that could change if the right options came along.

I’m a big Bradley fan and I can name 3 guys in the picture. So weird.

Jersey numbers, photos & some bio info included...

#0 Noah Williams
#1 Dietrich Richardson
#2 Kyle Grill
#4 Ben Thornbrue
#9 Jackson Seastrunk
#10 Timoty van der Knaap
#17 Gustavo Guimaraes
#20 Trevon Payton
#23 Gus Rugaard
#24 Race Kowalczyk
#77 Georgi Gerganov

Even tho NCAA has only recently changed their rules & allowed uniform numbers like #9 and #17, Jackson Seastrunk is not
the first Bradley player to wear #9. Ralph Keegan wore #9 in 1938-39 and Robert Demgen wore #9 in 1941-42.
I wonder if there's anyone alive today who ever saw Keegan or Demgen in action?
Gustavo (#17) and Georgi (#77) are the first ever to wear their respective numbers.
Eight prior players have worn #0. The first was in 2007-08, Tyrone Cole-Scott. Anyone here recall Cole-Scott?

Trivia question- who are the only two Bradley coaches that led teams eight years in a row to home attendance over 9,000?
(the answer is MOre or LESs obvious )

Bradley averaged over 9,000 for 8 straight years from 1994-95 to 2001-2002 under Jim Molinari and from 2002-03 to 2009-10 under Jim Les.

Note- Bradley might have also averaged over 9,000 in 1993-94, which would have made 9 straight years under Molinari, except they played one home game (Dec. 1, 1993) against Illinois Wesleyan in the Fieldhouse, which drew only 5,205. That lowered the average attendance from 9,025 (Carver average for 15 home games) to 8,786 (total for all 16 games).

The only 2 seasons with average attendance over 10,000 were the 1987-88 season (Stan Albeck) and the 1999-2000 season (Jim Molinari).

Here are the available average home attendance figures over Bradley's history from 1903-04 through the 2023-24 season-

Just wait until you get older and can only watch on TV.
