Bradley got a late commitment from 6-9 F/C Xzavier Taylor from Morgan Park HS in Chicago.
Morgan Park was one of the best teams in country this past year. They went 31-3, won the Class 3A state title in Illinois, split two games with Chicago Simeon and the only other loses were to Whitney Young in Chicago and Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas.
Taylor averaged 8.5 points and 8 rebounds a game. Morgan Park has 5-6 D1 players on the roster. Taylor hurt his knee in the summer and worked himself back in the shape. He played really well in March and averaged a double-double in the state tournament.
He was expected to be a non-qualifier and was taking JUCO visits but he had a very good year academically and it looks like he will be a qualifier. Bradley snuck in then. His high school coach is Nick Irvin. Taylor played for the Mac Irvin AAU team. BU assitant Chin Coleman was a former coach for Mac Irvin Fire.
