He's been putting up huge numbers and has offers from UNI and Illinois State but has also gotten looks from Loyola, Indiana State, and Bradley. He plays against fairly weak competition from what i understand but he is getting looks from all levels of college (Kansas recently scouted him, Creighton is in with LU tonight). Just curious if anyone in central Illinois seen him in person, would love to hear a report!
I guess Redbird Recon could tell us more--but it was my understanding some of the offers were walk on for a year, then get four years.
But Loyola offered him as well.
He's one of those guys every Bradley fan is talking about. There is a love for local, small town, white dudes. And no one really knows how good he is. Will be interesting to see where he ends up.
I have not seen him play. I know a guy who saw him play a good (but small school) Mt. Pulaski team last night. Mt. Pulaski has a 6-7 kid. Bruninga only had 15. Take that FWIW.
HIs recruitment is similar to that of Matt Chastain last year who ended up at Loyola. All kinds of MVC schools offered in the spring after putting up huge numbers in small school Illinois basketball.
