Well they do have an opening for

a 6’8” + European player. Or so I heard

He's more mobile than Reink. Reink is obviously more developed and ready to play but I don't think he will ever have the ball handling ability and mobility that Atlason has shown as a high schooler.

And, he should be ready to transfer here when Mast leaves.

[MASTerfan]

That's probably true. Although Bradley fans are hopeful he will develop into a higher level than Nebraska...

 

Unfortunate reality is that mid majors are becoming the developmental league for P5/6 schools.

 

All that said how about a home and home series with the Braves .

Saw Tulane was on and was watching old friend Kevin Cross when I saw Atlason come in.  He's shooting 10-20 on the year for 3 as their backup 4 man so the stroke is there. Seems like with Eli Rice playing well here and being buried that AA would be rotting on the bench here so seems like he made the right decision picking a college.

Kept tabs on him throughout the season, as I liked him in the recruiting process quite a bit. Had a few very good games for Bradley. We'll see how next year goes for him as he'll be the full time starter at the 4

We've had pretty good luck with transfers from Bradley.  Well, one at least.

Little to no development from year one to two. If Bradley doesn't have much faith in this guy, not sure why we would?

 

Bradley was 9-1 when this guy played less than 15 minutes. And the one loss was to Drake.

He was one I actually followed the past two years because I liked him out of HS. Little disappointed he didn't develop like I hoped.
