Bradley got a commit from a top Juco player, 6'9 Malevy Leons. Originally from the Netherlands, he played for Mineral Springs Juco this past year. Averaged 18 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists a game while shooting 56% from the floor. Big commit as I heard he was down to Wichita, Missouri, and Marquette.

Wardle comes through again with another foreign player.

Here's a good story on Malevy Leons and why he chose Bradley. In it he mentions how he knew Reink Mast from growing up in Holland and how that helped. Former Bradley forward Luuk van Bree is also from the Netherlands so BU has a solid connection there.

Malevy Leons was awarded 1st Team All-American for NJCAA D1 today.

One more accolade for Leons, as he was just named the NJCAA Player of the Year.

I hate hyping guys up, but this was a big get for Bradley:

From the article:
"Leons is the first-ever Brave to receive the honor and the first Missouri Valley Conference player since Wichita State's Cleanthony Early earned the award by the NABC in 2011-12."

If he is 75% of what Early was for Wichita, Bradley got a good one.

Kinda surprised not to find this here already. Bradley just got a signed LOI from the best JUCO player in the country. That hasn't happened in the Valley since Cleanthony Early at Wichita State.

His final four were BU, Marquette, Missouri, Wichita. Vandy and many more also in the mix.

There's a whole recruiting board...
