I was checking out my rivals.com account a few minutes ago and noticed Belmont had their first offer for players graduating high school in 2010, 6'9 215lbs center from Chattanooga, Tennessee (Tyner Academy).

Other schools that have offered him: UCONN, Murry State, Virginia Commonwealth
Other schools he is interested in who have not offered him: Georgia, Drake
Scheduled visits: UCONN, Virginia Commonwealth, Drake

This is what the National Hoops Report had to say about Bradley.

Michael Bradley, Tennessee Tigers – It happens at least once a year with me. I’ll be leaving a venue to slide over to another game only to be stopped in my tracks. That happened in Orlando at the AAU Nationals when Bradley walked past me. I immediately cancelled my scheduled game to watch and took in the 6-9 center. He’ll be a fall riser, too. A no-brainer high-major kid, Bradley was one of the best “where in the world did he come from?” stories of July. Look for him to be a top 100 guy nationally and keep on stopping people in their tracks.


I'm not holding my breath over this guy because everything I've read projects him to go to a high-major school, but it sure is nice to see us going after someone with size and offering him early!

I also just checked scout.com and Belmont isn't even listed so who knows...

There is more info on him here: http://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=8...id=4471645

He's supposed to visit Belmont and Murray State this weekend unofficially according to Scout.

Here's a little more info about him.

A 4 star recruit - listed as 6'10", 210. And you're going up against UConn, VCU and Memphis (among others) who have already offered.

Belmont has definitely raised its sights in the recruiting game the last couple of years. You are targetting some high quality athletes. Good luck!

Bradley committed to UConn.

I was impressed they offered him, but never really thought there was much chance he'd sign. With only two scholarships available this year, and frankly not a lot of holes to fill, they may just be swinging for the fence. I guess it would be good to sign a big man as Saunders and Hedgepeth will be Jr.'s next year. Maybe looking for a small forward also to replace Campbell/House eventually.
