Former Valparaiso guard Bakari Evelyn updated his list of schools that he’s talking to this evening: Cal State Fullerton, Cincinnati, Fordham, Loyola Marymount (CA), New Mexico State and Portland State (visit).

So I guess we are just brining in the same recruits that would go to NKU? Man Brannen is having a terrible start.

Hard to put a positive spin on this.

So it is hard to put a positive spin on a former Nebrasketball commit who had a very good Sophmore year and then dealt with a bunch of injuries that required multiple surgeries? When healthy he 50% from 2 and 38% from 3. Maybe bone spurs in your foot will hurt your shooting percentages? Either way, it would only be for 1 year on a team that needs to add some depth.

Absolutely no positives in this though.

He's dealt with the same injury, with multiple surgeries (bone spurs in right foot). First surgery was senior year of HS, second was the year he transferred to Valpo and the third was last off-season. Not saying injury couldn't have contributed, but he may never be fully healthy.

Maybe Brannen knows something we don't and Evelyn is fully healthy (perhaps for the first time in his career) and will have a great senior year. But this looks like a desperate flyer because all the better options have turned us down.

And Valpo invested three years in this guy, one in which they carried him as a non-playing transfer, and another where he didn't exactly set the court on fire. Now he wants to transfer. Sounds like a spoiled brat whose entitlement represents a lot that's wrong with the contemporary game. How many transfers are enough for one NCAA career?
