Bradley got a commitment this weekend from 6-3 guard Ville Tahvanainen of Finland.

Ville was one of the most impressive players at the FIBA U18 European Championships this summer in Latvia. He was the second leading scorer in the event averaging 22.3 PPG while making five threes a game (best in the event) and shooting over 45% from three. He also averaged 4.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game for Finland. He is currently playing for the Helsinki Basketball Academy.

This is a really, really good get for Bradley.

Seems like a good get for Bradley. Interesting they went back to International recruiting again after they took a year off last year, Other than Ari Booya who was playing at a prep school here in the states.

This is the 7th player that Wardle has recruited to Bradley that was not born here in the USA.

Sounds like a similar story to Bruno Skokna; he was the second leading scorer at the FIBA U18 in 2015 with 17.2 ppg, 3.5 boards and 3.3 assists.
