Michael Bradley-Connecticut Bound 

My oh my, what a difference a summer makes.

It was a very good summer for 6'9 Chattanooga rising senior Michael Bradley (Tyner Academy).

Running with the Tennessee Tigers, the improving big man was exposed to the big time summer basketball scene and responded well with some good to great efforts throughout July.

Rewarded for his effort the big man had his choice of schools and in the end the big boys got the prize.

Bradley will attend Big East power Connecticut and get the opportunity to play for legendary mentor Jim Calhoun.

Bradley showed a nice mid-range game this summer, blocked some shots and played with emotion when the games got more meaningful. He will obviously need to get stronger to handle the rigors of the most physical conference in the country.

Bradley becomes the 12^th commitment from Tennessee for the Class of 2010.

Now he can concentrate on helping lead Tyner Academy towards a goal of participating in the Murphy Center come the ides of March.

A personable young man, we wish Michael nothing but luck in his venture next season.
