Julian Torres - another big man BU was after - has decided elsewhere
he's going to Green Bay...

From Bolingbrook, he is said to be 6-9 now and big body - 240 lb...
Green Bay has been pretty successful with big men - their guy last year Alec Brown, who Bradley looked at way back in 2010,
is currently playing with the Phoenix Suns!
..........and this season they have SEVEN guys that are 6-7 and bigger!! - Five are 6-8 to 6-11

As posted elsewhere, Julian Torres just committed to UIC. It appears that Brian Wardle, who signed him at UW-Green bay, did not offer him a scholarship to Bradley.

According to the IHSA website, his stats at Bolingbrook HS for his senior season 2014-15) were 9.5 ppg (3rd on his team) and 7 rpg. Those do not seem to be very impressive numbers for a guy billed as 6'9", 240 pounds.

hmmm - then could this be tied to XT Returning.... as Taylor had better stats against tougher competition in fewer minutes -

6'9" Julian Torres, who was once a Geno Ford recruit, ended up comitting to Brian Wardle at UW-Green Bay. However, a year ago, after Wardle left Green Bay, Torres was released from his Letter of Intent, and then went to UIC, where he spent his freshman season. He played less than 10 minutes per game and averaged 2.7 ppg and 2.4 rpg. He was just released from UIC and will transfer.
