2024 and beyond recruits
Starting a new thread for future recruits...
The open scholarship will not be open very long.
The new big man mid-season recruit we have mentioned on Bradleyfans.com for the last 8 days is said to be finalized and should happen shortly.

This will be interesting. Obviously don’t know the particulars but it would seem coming in for second semester would use a full year of eligibility unless they played first semester for someone else. Also integrating into Brian’s system quickly will be a challenge to do especially while the rest of the team is in the middle of game to game preparations-can’t focus too much on getting someone new up to speed while focusing on winning the Valley this year.

Still working on ID'ing the kid, but none of my sources so far can give me a name (though I think I have it narrowed down to a small number of possibilities).
What I have been told is he is a Serbian big man (described as "huge"), pretty skilled, and he's "on the way"....And yes, the NCAA counts even 1/2 year as a full season of eligibility, which is why it doesn't happen very often. Plus, as you said, they are deprived of the off-season workouts, and all the preseason conditioning and practices. So they will be unfamiliar with the system, their new coaches, and their new teammates. Another reason why very few recruits will enroll this way.

IMO, if there is one thing this team is lacking that would give Bradley an advantage this season and in the MVC Tournament, as well as in the postseson NCAA Tournament if we are so fortunate, is a true low post player. Yes, Bradley has better overall size than any other MVC team, but none are true back-to-the basket low post players. My guess is our coaches want to add a player with the open scholarship that fills that missing piece. And they aren't looking for a project to develop. I don't know how much they have seen of this recruit, but they must believe he can play and contribute now.

So I still don’t have a name of the Serbian…. The only details are…. He speaks no English! He yells when he scores, belief is he’s pretty good.
Team reports back to practice Monday, Dec 26 at 5. Go Braves!

Speaks no English! Is that going to be problematic for classes?

Yes - I would imagine so…. And communication with teammates & coaches will be challenging.

Well I’m really dying to know who it is and find out all about him. Didn’t ISU Red have a Serbian that lit us up last year that also transferred?

I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.Comment
