PEORIA -- Bradley men’s basketball continued to fill its roster for the 2019-20 season Saturday with a verbal commitment from 6-foot-4 shooting guard Ville Tahvanainen of Helsinki, Finland.
Tahvanainen, who completes his three-day visit to BU on Sunday, cannot speak publicly about his commitment until his official visit is over.
The 18-year-old, who plays for the Helsinki Basketball Academy, had an outstanding performance in the FIBA U18 European Division A Championship during the summer.
He averaged 22.3 points -- second-best in the 16-team event -- along with 4.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds.
Tahvanainen is the fourth player to commit to Bradley this month -- all of them high school athletes and perimeter players.
