BU lands Josh Ibukunoluwa

Here is the info we posted about Josh yesterday in the Recruiting thread. He was reported to be on a visit to BU-
D1 portal- Joshua Ibukunoluwa - a 6'10" sophomore forward at High Point University. He is originally from Perth, Australia and played in the Australian NBL pro league with the Willetton Tigers. He also attended Orangeville Prep in Ontario, Canada. He has played limited minutes in his 2 seasons at High Point.

Incredible work by Coach Wardle and the staff. Bradley needed to replace 4 graduating seniors, plus 6 players who entered the transfer portal. Bradley had three earlier quality commitments from Race Kowalczyk, Ben Thornbrue, and Noah Williams, which left 7 open roster spots. But in the last week, they have landed 4 more high quality recruits- Trevon Payton, Georgi Gerganov, Kyle Grill, and Josh Ibukunoluwa.
The recruiting job done by the Bradley staff far exceeds the results from any other MVC team.
And there are still 3 available scholarships by my count. Next season keeps looking better and better!

Steal one from High Point!
hits 63% of hits shots and shoots almost 70% on FT's- and 3.89 GPA!
Just needs some coaching and more experience....

BTW- High Point's roster has 18 players on it (two of which are former MVC players)-- how is that possible the carry 18?

In his interview last week on WMBD, Coach Wardle said he would fill two open scholarships with quality big men, then
hold the other one open for the time being. He did not explin why he only had 3 scholarships when by our count there were four
(and now 3). But presumably, he is holding the open one in case of some quality options become available late summer or fall or overseas.

I'm very excited that Coach believes we have far exceeded all other MVC teams in getting quality players in the portal! I'm not sure exactly the difference an international player can gain in NIL, but if that's an advantage money wise for BU, I hope we can get more Intl.players! It will be fun to see are talent play out next year!
