But during that stretch he recorded 6 points, and 16 boards in 52 minutes. I don't want to sound like i'm coming off as I'm anti - Traore. I just think Bradford could come in and give us serious help quickly, and I think that Traore, as good as he has been is still a project and 2+ years away.

That stretch is also not really a fair assessment of a freshman. He played well in small minutes against easy competition. Then he got dropped in the deep end at the start of conference play. Only fully ready players can show up in that scenario. At least he wasn’t a turnover machine or a defensive liability. I am interested to see where he is at next year. I expect that he will make a tremendous leap in the off-season. Keep in mind that he is still relatively new to basketball and that he did not get to SLU until August. dennis_w and HenryB like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams wished for that. I just dont understand not taking a more proven player to fill a big hole next year, if this were to ever even happen. If he were to take a "big leap" next year, it may still not even be to Bradford's level and still considered a big leap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume with the new transfer rules in addition to NIL there is a lot of tampering going on, but probably best not to be too blatant. At least wait for the season to end.

But 90% of his minutes are in garbage time. Bradford is averaging 12 ppg/40 min in the b12...that's well ahead of traore. Do you watch K-State I do. Branford looks slow and not really into playing this season. The 40 minute stat is misleading here are the numbers that are not. Bradford is averaging 3.4 points 2 rebounds and shooting a horrible 49.3% this season. He scored 1 point against ISU, 2 points against TTU, 2 points against KU, 2 points against OKST, 4 points against WVU, 0 points against ISU, 1 point against Baylor, 4 points against TCU, 5 points against OKST, 2 points against Baylor, 4 points against KU, 2 points against Texas, 6 points against WVU, 6 points against TCU, 6 points against WVU, 1 point against OU. This is Bradfords second year Traore is a freshman can shoot free throws I like him better than Bradford right now.

WVBilliken Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Seems that this thread is way premature. Maybe we should wait for the players to enter the transfer portal before going wild on how they fit on the Billikens ..... but that's just me.

Another strange performance by Bradford in his last game. Played 17 minutes scored 3 points and 0 rebounds - it's hard to be that big and get ZERO rebounds in that many minutes.

Those stats will not get him starting minutes and Traore has shown he can rebound so Bradford may not beat out Traore. I would like to have Bradford for depth with his experience. @Coach314has posted that he thought that Bradford is not being used correctly so that is probably the issue. In Coach314 I trust so I am probably wrong about where he would be in the depth chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am not advocating that the staff focus their sites on Bradford as top priority if he becomes available. I was just responding to the question of whether he would be a fit. At K State they run a lot of high screens with their bigs...the guards come off them looking to score. The bigs usually end up out of position to rebound. Dean Wade (Cleveland Cavs) is 6'10 more athletic and a better player than Bradford and only averaged 5.4 rebounds in that system playing the 4/5. 2010andBeyond likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 With the season now over for many low major teams, the transfer portal is exploding. Already up to 216, which is understandable with open free agency now. As soon as P5 teams get eliminated from postseason consideration this week, there will be another burst of transfers to look forward to.

AnkielBreakers Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Hypothetical: If Kobe Brown hit the transfer portal, would we want him? 6’8”, hits the 3, and defends and plays inside well.
