Bradley's Rienk Mast in the portal.

He might be the most coveted guy in there at this point. 6-9, skilled, can shoot and handle. Very nice defender with great upper body strength. First team All Valley. Averaged 14 and 6 but was 17 and 8 in league play after he got over a knee injury.

Want. Want. Want. Want.
Will be curious if Mast and Malevy Leon, a fellow Dutchman with Bradley, will both enter portal and look to be package deal.

Leon was MVC Defensive MVP and is a lanky 6'9" forward.

Not surprised to see ISU mentioned a lot, but I feel we have very defined needs:
  1. A speedy, taller guard who can score off the dribble or 3 pt line.
  2. A physical, athletic rim protector. Who would ideally have some low post game.
  3. A guy who can make 40% from 3.
I like Mast, but not sure he's a great fit for ISU's pressure/trapping man-to-man D.

For some reason I could see Purdue here. Really good engineering school and if Edey stays he could play the 4.

They might be a package deal. Apparently the only reason Leons announced he was coming back for his last year at Bradley was because he thought Mast was.

They're both really good and would make any team they're on better.

Payton Sparks would be nice. Reminds of a poor man’s Zach Randolph.
on all those videos he he seemed money from 2 ft. on either side of the basket but never saw one time where he shot anything from anywhere else. Will that equate to the big 12?

Actually, a freshman shooting 32% is pretty solid. Especially making almost 2 per game.
Just read about Rohde. Late bloomer, wanted to be recruited by Marq/Wisc/ etc. 6'6" now. Great work ethic/teammate. Held his own versus Peach Jam athletes. One time made 7 threes in a half. Not sure we had anyone that could do that in practice. (jk)
Was on a top 10 list of "IMPACTFUL Non-top 100 Freshmen" with none other than our very own Tamin Lipsey. I realize Summit League is nowhere close to big 12 but this guy is from Milwaukee and very intriguing to me. Hmmm....... Surely JRBlount or TJ knows about him. Now whether they think he's good enough/strong enough for big 12 is another story.
