PEORIA -- Bradley basketball set up its future backcourt Wednesday with the signing of four guards, all of whom will have four years of eligibility at BU.
They include 6-foot-7 Stephan Gabriel of Veritas Prep Academy (Calif.), 6-1 Antonio Thomas of Memphis, 6-4 Ville Tahvanainen of Finland and 6-2 JaMir Price of Rock Island. Price is expected to attend prep school next year and become a 2020 freshman at Bradley.
“We lose two guards in this class and four in the following,” said BU coach Brian Wardle. “For us to sustain success, we wanted to get a 2019 class of playmakers that could get a year under their belts and then hand the reins to them as sophomores.
