Valley Recruits

Not sure which thread to put this in, but it's news about the Drake roster for next season.
Drake center Darnell Brodie is a 5th year senior, having spent 2 years at Seton Hall (2018-19 & 2019-20), and the last 3 at Drake (2020-21, 2021-22, & 2022-23).
But there is an unofficial report tonight that Brodie will not be participating in their Senior Night Wednesday, possibly a suggestion he plans to return next season-

But a year ago, it was reported that this current season would be his extra "Covid year"-

So if he does have another season of eligibility, it may be because he only played in 3 games in the 2019-20 season.
 
Drake gets a 2023 commitment from 6'4" guard Kevin Overton of Sunrise Christian Academy in Wichita.
