In reply to: So 1 offer out there for 2021 (Wesley) & 1 for 2022 posted by Ajax
Have not seen any mention with Jaden Bradley.
Bradley is a top 10 prospect, so it seems unlikely ND would get involved.
Generally speaking the recruiting of 4 star or better recruits lists the teams involved. Besides Wesley, I see no one else in 2021.
Perhaps there are no solid big man options in 2021, so they are more focused on 2022 and the transfer market.
It looks like the expected 21-22 SS roster will be:
Hubb/Dane/Lasz
Ryan
Carmody
Sanders
Taylor
Zona
Newcomers:
Wertz
JR
Transfer big- grad or waiver
Maybe Wesley
With those 4 they will be at 12 on SS.
Without Wesley it will be 11.
They will only go after another 2021 recruit if they miss out on the transfer big AND Wesley.
So yeah, it appears it is currently Wesley or bust for 2021. Majority of focus is 2022.
It's great they have reached out to this Jaden, but unless he conveys some serious mutual interest I would suspect Brey will focus attention on attainable recruits. ND's ceiling is top 50-125 prospects. Any prospects outside that range better:
Have size and can shoot
Have size and athleticism
Have high end athleticism
Be knockdown shooters.
According to Stockrisers Notre Dame reached out to Bradley. You can add Gradey Dick to the list of 2022 players we have reached out to today. On a side note @jakeweingarten on Twitter, he’s with Stockrisers, is a great source for all things college basketball recruiting for anyone interested.
