Yesterday Coach Les agreed to do a chat through fansite bradleyfans.com. I wasn't able to participate or watch directly, but the guys at bradleyfans posted a full transcript of the interview here. For one thing, I think it's incredibly nice for Coach Les to take some time to interact so directly with his fans... And in addition, the coach divulged some information that I, at least, found interesting. It appears the post players have shown him enough this spring that the amount of small ball that Bradley plays could be diminished. The coach said he could see playing Taylor Brown at the "3" (his natural position), Will Egolf at the "4" (a position that most see to be his natural position), and a big: maybe Jordan Prosser, Anthony Thompson, newcomer Andrew Davis, or Michael Ocherobia should he make it to campus. Coach Les also confirmed that Michael Ocherobia is still being recruited by Bradley. Finally, he noted that Milos Knezevic has made progress and is expected to contribute several minutes next year at the 4.
Also, not mentioned by the coach, but of some interest for me-- Darius Smith, a freshman at UConn last season and one-time Bradley recruit, has announced his attention to transfer to a new program. Smith was a 6'2 point guard out of Chicago and considered a 4-star recruit by both recruiting services. Here's the recruiting thread from bradleyfans from last year. He averaged just over 4 mpg at UConn and likely decided he'd get a shot at some more playing time at another program. I would love for Darius Smith to transfer to Bradley, and with Sam Maniscalco, Andrew Warren, and Dodie Dunson graduating after the season there will be plenty of minutes for guards to compete for. Anyway, I will watch where he goes with interest-- hope Bradley's in the running.
