Now that we've pondered how easy it would have been - what kind of scorers did Geno recruit?

Last post listed all the reasons Geno's recruiting should have been better than his predecessors - and yet it was not...

Here is a comprehensive list of EVERY player recruited and landed at Bradley by Geno Ford - and the career scoring total of all of them.
Every coach Bradley has had developed great scorers - and players who are enshrined in the 1000-Point Club.  Pretty good bet that Geno will not have anyone in the 1000-Point Club.

Player -- Career points for Bradley - updated up thruf Jan 9, 2016.

Tyshon Pickett - 773
Auston Barnes - 607
Omari Grier - 569
Ka'Darryl Bell - 455 (**still active but career likely over/injury)
Tramique Sutherland - 272
Josh Cunningham - 260
Warren Jones - 249 
Jalen Crawford - 217
Xzavier Taylor - 189
Shayok Shayok - 169
Nate Wells - 91
Donte Thomas - 220 (**still active)
Mike Shaw - 58 
Anthony Fields - 56
Jermaine Morgan - 55
Jordan Swopshire - 34
Mason Alwan - 33
Anthony Fields - 32
Chris Blake - 31
Jimmy Gavin - 13
Stefan Zecevic - 12
Darrion Harris - 9 
Donivine Stewart - 4
Devon Hodges - 0
Aaron Ganson - 0
Jackson Kane - 0 
Kendahl Amerson - 0

I guess if Ka'Darryl had a dream season in his 4th year, and averaged double digits, he could surpass Tyshon Pickett (played only 2 years) and become Geno's all time top producer...but he still won't come within a mile of the 1000-Point Club.
I think this just stands to confirm what many smart Bradley fans saw the minute the Geno recruits took the floor in their debut Red-White games.  We saw how weak his recruiting classes were, how poorly they shot and scored, etc....and despite the hype and the incredible touting they all got from Dave Reynolds and Kirk Wessler as "difference makers", "light years better", "go-to guys", and "deep, talented, scorers"....now the story can be told....Bradley fans suffered through a virtual draught of scoring and playing ability during the four year Glasser/Cross/Ford era.  Can there be any doubt this four year span that some fans who wanted Jim Les run out were.excited to see and happy to have....
I have a feeling those clueless fans and PJS writers kinda know how badly they judged the 2011-2015 span, but do you think they'll ever admit it?  LOL
