Player updates

Yes, he definitely looks great! I would also expect him to be much quicker this year. Also, I've seen other pictures of Timo standing next to our centers and he definitely looks taller than 6'8. He looks more like 6'10 or 11 to me. I wonder if he's grown since he first entered Bradley?
I think more than anyone I met during the youth camp last month, Timo looked bigger than I imagined. He's got good size and if he's only 6'8", he's got good mobility and looks strong...If I had to guess, he's 6'9".

Just Wondering after reading how Illinois State bucked the trend of power 5 teams trying to take there talented players! It's a great story of them keeping their talent! Did Bradley have any trouble keeping players like Demarion Burch or Bully transferring to higher leagues? Were they pursued from power teams or just not good enough to elevate even though they are great Mid-Major players? I assume our other returnees did not have power 4 interest!
 
Speaking of Metamora’s Matthew Zobrist,
I hope within the next season or two we can get a game vs South Dakota.
I was looking at their roster - they have THREE Metamora kids, Ethan Kizer, his brother Caleb Kizer & Jonah Funk - plus a UIC transfer and a couple former BU recruits.
 
My prediction for the upcoming season:

Most improved: Corey T.
Top newcomers: Matthew Z. (All freshman team) / Alex H.
1st Team MVC: Quanny
2nd Team: Meta

Go-to-guy in the clutch: Burch
