Well, that specific event was held last night at the home of the head coach and was attended by all the players coaches and few fortunate other invited individuals!
Actually, all the players weren't there (nobody was "gone", and especially not the one implied elsewhere), since a couple have evening classes and to show you how great of students these kids are -- they did NOT miss their classes, and chose instead to miss the cookout & barbecue.
But it was really a great time and a lot of the very best Bradley fans and supporters....even more reason if you are NOT one of those who support Bradley athletics, get on the phone now and get going!! You won't regret it ...the awesome barbecued pork alone is worth it!!

Anyway...more later, but suffice to say nobody on the team's in a cast, everyone is fully healthy and individual player workouts start in just a couple days.
Also word that numerous upcoming visits are going to take place and that September is a very important contact period where visits can take place.
There's already a buzz out there among recruits as far away as Texas that are talking about Bradley's new facilities and how impressed kids are when they see the new digs!!
Kids are showing up on campus having already heard and been told to expect to be impressed, and indeed they ARE impressed.
Chris Roberts was also there, he's in Chicago working out with Tim Grover, and waiting out a couple of contract negotiations before selecting among teams & offers - maybe going overseas to play with someone or getting a slot in the NBDL.
He is not going to do the Globetrotter thing, as it's generally a long-hour, exhausting travel, dead end job that prevents any pro teams from ever taking you seriously as a competitive player thereafter..

Just a bit more news......if you check the boards you see BU still linked to a lot of kids in Texas...that's no fluke, there's a ton of talent in that state..

Wow -- a whole lot of the big boys have scheduled soft...none any worse than Big Ten's Indiana...
If they are going to make it back to the big time, then they;re gonna have to beat someone other than NC-Central or Savannah State!!
