Bradley going strong after NBPA Top 100

Four-star power forward Tony Bradley followed his solid spring travel season with an impressive performance at the NBPA Top 100 Camp in Charlottesville, Va., and is now preparing for the Nike Basketball Academy this weekend in Los Angeles.

Such is the life for a prospect ranked in the top 40 of the Rivals150.

"I've been playing pretty well with Each One Teach One (E1T1)," Bradley said of his AAU season. "We're going to the Peach Jam so it's gone pretty well so far."

In addition to the NBPA Top 100 Camp and the Nike Basketball Academy, Bradley was invited to the Pangos All-American Camp but had to pass up the opportunity to allow his body to recover from the grind of the EYBL regular season.

Bradley shared his thoughts on the NBPA Top 100 camp:

"It was a great experience," he said. "Probably one of the best camps I've been to so far. They teach you a lot of off-the-court things that will help you in life down the line. I learned a lot there, on the court and off the court."

During the camp, the No. 36 player in the 2016 class caused a bit of a stir by wearing a Florida Gators t-shirt.

"I was wearing it under my jersey. A lot of people thought I committed to Florida, like 10 people asked me, so I ended up taking it off," said Bradley.

Though he has the ability to knock down shots out to 12 feet, Bradley does most of his damage in the post. In Charlottesville he connected on 62.5 percent of his field goal attempts. He has great footwork, excellent touch around the cup with either hand and a quick second jump, which allows him to rebound well in and out of his area. Bradley also runs the floor very well for a 6-foot-10, 235-pounder - something he hopes college coaches recognize.

"Most college coaches, when I talk to them, tell me that when I'm playing it looks like I'm trying to prove something," Bradley said. "I just want to stand out, I want to make sure I do something that stands out. I want them to see me running the floor hard and just working hard on the floor, rebounding and defending."

With more than 30 scholarship offers, standing out has not been a problem for Bradley. He said that Kansas, North Carolina, Miami, Florida and Alabama are the schools he is hearing from the most these days. Two of those schools, Alabama and Florida, changed coaching staffs over the past couple of months.

"I first started talking to (Alabama head) coach Avery (Johnson) maybe a month and a half ago, and we've been talking every since," Bradley said. "I talk to his assistants, too. One of his assistants (Scott Pospichal) coached my dad at Polk Community College. I've known him for a little while since he coached my dad. I've seen him around, plus he coached on the EYBL with the Texas Titans."

And on Florida:

"I talked to (Florida) Coach (Mike) White over the weekend and he was telling me good luck at the camp and stuff like that," said Bradley. "He has been talking to my dad a lot too and I've been talking to his assistant coach (Darris) Nichols. I've known him before he went to Florida because of Derrick Brooks."

Brooks was a teammate of Bradley's at Bartow (Fla) High School. Nichols recruited Holmes to Wofford prior to joining White's staff at Louisiana Tech and following him to Florida.

With the final "live periods" of his AAU career on the horizon, Bradley is thinking about trimming his list. However, he isn't rushing to make that decision.

"That's down the line," he said. "I just want to get through this summer season first and go from there."
